Patina Comte Dracule - MTO - Whittier

$785.00

The Whittier oxford is a design straight from the mind of Mr. FitzPatrick: The hand-stitched apron detail and false heel counter create a one-of-a-kind pattern on what is, underneath it all, a classic wholecut oxford. The resulting model has proven an enduring favorite among J.FitzPatrick staff and customers alike, and for the first time is available for purchase with a hand-dyed patina by artist Hancore.

The "Comte Dracule" patina is a deep, burgundy-base design which shows its reddish hues most boldly in bright light. These subtle colors come down to an almost-black when the sun sets--check out the photos to see what we mean!

The LPB is our soft chisel last. It is a softened variant of the classic MGF chisel last, with the smoother lines of LPB offering a more conservative and versatile profile.
The LPB is a generous fitting last, making it a good choice for those with broad feet.
-Generous fit all around
-Very generous forefoot
-Voluminous instep
-Labeled as UK 'E' width (US 'D' equivalent). However, it fits more like a UK 'EX' width (or US 'E' width)
-Elongated last shape
 
Keep the same size in what you wear from:
-Magnanni
-To Boot New York
-Loake Capital Last
-Cheaney F Width
-The generous Alden lasts (take one size down, e.g., a US10 from Alden is a UK9 in our LPB)

Length: Elongated
Width: Generous
Instep: High
Toe Box: Voluminous
Last shape: Soft chisel

This is a photoshop rendition by the same patina artist who will be creating the actual patinas; the patinas will therefore be as true to the photos as possible, but slight variations may nevertheless occur as they do with all patina styles.

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
