Chelan - Deep Ocean Calf

$325.00

We love a good wholecut loafer, and the idea behind our "Chelan" style was to remain true to that classic style. The Chelan is a handsome choice for your warmer and less formal days, but it can still be dressed up with a suit--and see you through cooler weather, so long as you have the right socks! 

    Last Rainier
    Full Grain Box Calf (Europe)
    Leatherboard Heel Stiffeners
    Hand-Lasted Waists
    Open Channel Sole - Street Walker
    Goodyear Welted
    Fully Leather Lined
    Made in Spain

    The Rainier last is the smart round last of our JF Line. It is slightly elongated, but fits true to size with a medium instep. Its fit is between our J. FitzPatrick TMG and NGT lasts in terms of length and width, but with a lower (more standard) instep. We recommend keeping your standard size with the Rainier last.

    The Rainier is a classic medium-fitting last:
    -Medium forefoot (neither too wide nor too narrow)
    -Medium instep, not as generous as our J.FitzPatrick Line lasts
    -Good for medium width feet
    -Slightly elongated last, yet very shaped to foot length/profile

    Keep the same size in what you wear from:
    -Most Crockett & Jones classic fitting lasts
    -Carmina lasts (except Simpson)
    -Cheaney
    -Church's
    -Most benchgrade English brands

    Length: Elongated (1-1/2 inches of space at toe)
    Width: Narrow/Standard
    Instep: Standard
    Toe Box: Shallow/Standard
    Last shape: Almond Round

    Please note: Leather is a natural product. We take images of each shoe in all types of light to show you how the color varies. If you want a very specific color, it is best you ask us for an image of the size you wish to purchase, prior to purchasing.

    J.FitzPatrick shoes have a broad set of fit options, from true to size, on the slim side to more wide. It will be important to make sure you read about the specific last that you are looking to purchase.

    One thing to note across the board is that our loafers have been cut on the snug side, compared to the rest of the models. We did this so that you do not need to 'size down' when going for a loafer, rather recommending you stick to your oxford size (**read exception below)

    Here are a few general rules

    • Our insteps would be considered generous
    • All shoes with 6 eyelets will be even more generous in the instep
    • Any model in full suede will feel more generous to its leather counterpart
    • The boots have a forgiving instep in order for you to put them on easily
    • Any monkstrap made on the MGF or LPB will feel more generous to its oxford counterpart
    • If you wear your oxfords very snug, then size up for your loafers. However, for most we recommend taking the same size as your oxfords

    UNITED STATES:

    All shoe orders (outside of Sample/Clearance Sale products - see those rates below) above $100 shipped within the United States include free shipping via UPS ground shipping. Should you require a faster shipment via USPS or UPS, additional fees will apply.

    The USPS 2-day priority mail service used within the US aims to arrive within 2-3 working days depending on location. This is not a guarantee, however. Your tracking number provided will keep you up to date with your parcel. 

    We look to ship out all purchases 1-2 working days after the time of purchase (weekends not included). During "Sale" periods we aim to ship between 2 -4 days after the time of purchase as the increase in orders affects our ability to be any quicker. Add-ons involving changes to your shoes (toe taps, rubber sole bottoms) will increase delivery time by up to 14 days. Custom patinas will increase delivery time by up to 28 days.



    INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:

    All International Orders are shipped from NYC using UPS, DHL or USPS. Our typical courier is DHL but we will use the service that offers us the best rate. If you prefer one over the other and the one that you prefer is significantly more expensive then we will ask that you pay the difference between the best rate and the rate your preferred courier offers.

    If you prefer one courier over the other, and wish to pay the difference, please indicate this in the notes section of your order. Any failure to do, will result in using the default courier that pffers the best price. Before sending your parcel, we will send an invoice to cover the difference in pricing (should there by any).
    Please note: the shipping charge paid is just the fee to actually ship the parcel. This does not include any other fees to import your parcel into your country. 

    Any and all import duties/fees imposed by your local custom's officials on your parcel will be the responsibility of the customer to pay for. We do not control this and will not be held responsible for any surprises in charges as we do not impose them. Your government does. We declare the parcel at the value paid. We do no under-declare parcel values. Please do not ask us to do so.

    Please note, if you reject your order for not wanting to pay the custom's import taxation, we will be charged a fee for the return shipping. This fee will come out of your refund as we will are not liable for this charge due to your error in ordering. 

    For Remote Labeled Areas a surcharge of the price difference between what we normally pay and what they are quoting will be required to make shipment. 

    We look to ship out all purchases 1-2 working days after the time of purchase (weekends not included). During "Sale" periods we aim to ship between 2 -4 days after the time of purchase as the increase in orders affects our ability to be any quicker.
    We ensure each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to you. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes on to the customer. If you are not the receiver of your purchase (for example a gift order) then the person who signs for the package confirms receipt and is accountable for the package.

    Orders shipped with different billing/shipping addresses will be scrutinized by our Anti-Fraud system. Of course we understand if one wants to ship to their work address. And we reserve the right to cancel any order that has been deemed fraudulent by our system.

    Shipping for non sample/clearance shoes varies per country and price threshold. To get an exact price quote, please add to your cart the items you intend to purchase, input your shipping address and you will then know exactly how much we charge to your destination.

    You will pay a different shipping price for cart value of $100 or less, $101-$200, $201-$400 and above $400.

    CLEARANCE / SAMPLE SALE SHIPPING POLICY:

    For sample sale/clearance sale pairs, US shipping is FREE for orders of clearance pairs above $400 (i.e. two models together that create a cart value over $400). We charge a flat rate of $10 for orders over $200, or a flat rate of $20 for orders under $200.
    International shipping of sample pairs is a flat fee based on shipping destination. See these below.

    These higher rates reflect the fact that we normally subsidize shipping to each client's destination, but sample sale shoes are discounted too heavily to allow us to take that same price hit; thank you for your understanding on this matter.

    International shipping rates for sample sale pairs are flat rates of:

    Africa: $90
    Asia: $65
    Australia/Singapore: $50
    Canada: $30 ($20 for purchases greater than $300)
    Eastern Europe: $50
    Western Europe: $40
    Latin America: $70
    Mexico: $30
    Rest Of World: $85

    Amazing customer service

    Justin spent time emailing me and even calling me on the phone to discuss the fit of my shoes (ordered online). The customer service that Justin provided was above and beyond anything that I expected. I wanted to write this to highlight an experience that was totally opposite of the one poor review below. I'd be more than happy to order more shoes from him/his company and I plan on doing so next time that I decide to add to my shoe collection.

    Note of Appreciation

    I just wanted to commend the owner for the measured response to a review that did not deserve such consideration.

    Thank you very much for your support Paul, we appreciate it

    Outrageously Poor Customer Service

    I purchased a pair of shoes from these people that did not fit and that I did not like. Not only did they not accept the return but here is the message I received from them. Never do business with these people!!

    "You must be a stand up guy Bob to try and hurt a companies reputation for what are clearly your own mistakes. Let's hope that next time you purchase something online you remember this experience to do a bit more due diligence so you do not go around hurting other companies for your very poor attitude."

    Edit: We see that you edited your original review to not show the appalling way in which you gave us a very poor review for what were clearly your own mistakes. And now trying to change it to appear to be the victim. You wrote us rudely to begin with, put a 1 star review because you did not notice the very clear medallion on the shoe and wanted to return them past the allowance for return which is clearly stated on our website and we are bad because we do not allow people to disrespect us and did not entertain your return? It is not a coincidence that the majority (are strong majority) are 5 star reviews. Which shows that 1 star reviewers usually bring it upon themselves and just want to cause harm. We stand by our service but will not allow people like you to walk all over us.

    1. 'Shoes don't fit' - Buying online will always have a risk of this phenomenon. That risk increases when one does not read the fit advice nor email the company to try and ascertain further advice. If one always assume they are size US9 in a product, they will invetibly order something that doesn't fit.

    2. 'I don't like the holes in the toes. I wanted plain toe loafers. Looked like plain toes on your website' -- It's wild Bob, as the 2nd picture in the product's page shows clear as day the very sizable medallion (holes) on the toe. If you failed to look at that, guess who is to blame there?

    You must be a stand up guy Bob to try and hurt a companies reputation for what are clearly your own mistakes. Let's hope that next time you purchase something online you remember this experience to do a bit more due diligence so you do not go around hurting other companies for your very poor attitude.
