THE HALF BROGUE (SEMI-BROGUE)

Sturdy, strong, always sound, the Brogue has been the English Gentleman’s footwear of choice for a millennium and more. Originally French, the Carbatine, it was adopted in the British Isles as the more ruggedly Gaelic, Brog in the 4th and 5th Centuries. Originally the line of holes – the ‘Broguing Row’ - running along the shoe’s upper curves and lines let water to escape as their owner trod the heather and the bogs of his Celtic estates. Now the holes are purely decorative, and the Brogue sits as well in City boardrooms as under the breakfast tables of country seats.
Our PREMIUM Brogues are constructed from supple full grain, aniline-dyed calf hides specifically selected from Europe’s first-rated tanneries. Style and Exclusivity are the watchwords.
Our SELECT Brogues are made from Calf Leather, the leather from younger hides, sourced from tanneries around the world for Quality and Strength.
Our GRADE range of Brogues are cobbled from Side Leather, the leather from a mature hide, and selected for Utility and Affordability

WINCHESTER BLACK OXFORD~Half Brogue - black calf with leather sole. Best seller~Classically, Half-Brogues were worn “In Town" while full Brogues were for “The County”. For those who find a full Brogue ”too fancy” yet balk at the austerity of an Oxford, the Winchester is an elegant sufficiency, Both “rus et urbe”, it may be worn as a formal business shoe in City boardrooms during weekdays but serves just as professionally at a black tie affair or a morning suit wedding over the weekend.

WINCHESTER BROWN OXFORD~Half Brogue - Chestnut Burnished Calf with leather sole. Best seller~A daring twist on the timeless black Half-Brogue – it’s brown! Or rather a light, creamy cider. It’s the out-of-town Winchester that one might wear with coarse tweeds to co-judge the Fancy Pig Contest at a Peeblesshire County Fair with the Duchess of Buccleuch or with your faded, muddied jeans as you snub Sting in the corporate hospitality tent of some sodden rock festival.

WINCHESTER BROWN SUEDE BROGUE~Half Brogue - brown suede calf with leather sole. Best seller~An urbane re-expression of the Oxford Half-Brogue proposition. As ever, a shoe adaptable to both town and country living but, somehow, a racier cut above both. In a Suede Winchester, a “weekend away” implies beach cocktails in Gran’ Cayman while “seen in town” means tap-dancing down the Old Bailey steps after the surprise collapse of some multi-million pound City case against you.

EALING BLACK OXFORD~Half Brogue - Black with leather sole. Up to Size 13˝~Constructed on the same principles – and indeed the same last – as that masterly Brogue, the Enfield, this is the Ealing, a Half Brogue variant. Favoured by those with larger, promotional-sized feet who think the artfully delineated toe-cap breaks up the expanse of the shoe, making their hoof look smaller. Better adjusted people choose it as an excellently designed shoed, well-made and well priced.
From our affirmatively priced Grade Range.
