Men’s Brogue Lace-Up Ankle Boots — Wingtip Mahogany Leather Victorian

The Victorian brogue at its most rigorous

“Elegance is not about being noticed; it’s about being remembered.” — Giorgio Armani.

A direct tribute to the Northampton workshops that defined the archetype of British men’s footwear in the 19^th century, these lace-up ankle boots take the brogue wingtip motif to its fullest expression: wide perforated toecap, brogued trim all around the quarter, contrasting stitching. The result evokes Inspector Lestrade striding through Whitechapel as much as a Victorian archaeologist returning from the ruins of Persepolis.

Two finishes to choose from: warm, deep mahogany leather for the everyday gentleman’s wardrobe, or polished black for evening wear. Waxed laces, stacked welted sole, matte finish without garish shine.

Details worth examining

• 5-eyelet lacing with round waxed laces
