Whittier - Dark Brown Suede

Size

The Whittier is a unique wholecut oxford, featuring pseudo aprons and heel counters. This new model is made in a dark brown suede, and sports a commando lug sole. The resulting model is subdued but tough and will make for an excellent all-season bad-weather shoe.

I have always loved the Whittier design as one that I can claim as uniquely my own. In Winter, I always find myself wearing boots and never shoes. I do that as a single leather sole feels quite cold on the frozen NYC pavement. I have been wanting a shoe that can offer me the comfort and protection of a Winter style boot but in shoe form and on the dressier side. The Whittier design felt perfect for this balance and so I decided to try it in the two types of leather that I felt made the most sense for flannel-style suits and clothing. And I love how they came out. I hope that you do too!

-Justin FitzPatrick, founder, and designer

      the style:

      Floating Apron Wholecut Oxford

      The Whittier is a wholecut oxford, featuring pseudo aprons and heel counters: These hand-stitched details never actually connect with the edges of the shoe, but instead "float." The result is a unique design that does not compromise the underlying wholecut pattern of this oxford.

      what it's lasted on:

      LPB Last

      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 all-around fit
      -Voluminous instep
      -Labeled as UK 'E' width (US 'D' equivalent). However, being generous it is closer to a US D/E fit, falling between the two.
      -Elongated last shape

      what you'll be standing on:

      Commando Sole

      Lug "commando" soles give this monkstrap an exceptionally hardy feel: Note that the sole's ridges are not limited to its interior, but extend all the way to the sole's edge, for a subtler look without compromising function.

      Size Guidance

      The Whittier, on the LPB Last, is a generous and elongated fitting oxford. If you wear slender lasts, you will wish to size down. If you wear more generous fitting lasts, often found in Italian brands or on other chisel lasts, stick with your typical size. If you are a standard fit, it will be up to you to decide if you prefer a little more room or a snugger fit. If more room, stick to the same size, if more snug, size down.

      This has a generous forefoot.

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