Asym Derby | Iron filing stain | culatta
The Asymmetric Derby is Andrew McDonald's reinterpretation of a form that has been around for centuries. The offset lacing panel breaks the expected symmetry of the derby, creating a shoe that reads as considered without announcing itself. Blake stitch construction, all-leather interior, built for the long term.
Iron filing staining is a workshop technique: iron filings allowed to oxidise in liquid produce a chemical stain that reacts with the leather's tannins to create deep, complex browns and blacks with genuine variation across the surface. Applied to culatta — the densest part of the hide — the result is unlike any conventional dye.
Fitting: Standard fit Last: 1708 Toe shape: Tapered point
Can be made to order.
