Material info

Our improved CB 01. Easier to step into, a slightly better fit and softer, above all at the heel.

Full Grain Leather

Constantly improved premium leather.

Full grain is the top layer of the hide, left intact. Nothing is sanded or buffed away, so the natural grain and the strongest fibres of the leather stay exactly where they are. That makes it the most durable leather finish there is. Our full grain is tanned by Curtumes Iberia in Alcanena, Portugal, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Small variations in grain and colour are natural, and proof the surface is untouched. It starts firm, softens with wear, and builds a patina that deepens over the years.

Mediterranean Suede

Ultra soft suede.

Suede is cut from the underside of the hide and sanded to a fine, velvety nap. Ours is true to its name: tanned on the Mediterranean by Gruppo Mastrotto in Arzignano, Italy, an LWG Gold certified tannery, and Sanchez Agullo in Alicante, Spain, LWG approved. Every hide is inspected on finish, colour, surface and thickness before cutting. Quality shows in the nap: short, dense and even, with deep, uniform colour that gains character over time.

Foot length is the actual measured foot. The MC 01, DS 01, and CB 01 are built on a slightly longer last, so the shoe includes additional internal space for comfort, shape, and elegance.

Measure your foot

  1. Put a sheet of paper against a wall. Stand on it in socks, with your heel against the wall.
  2. Mark the tip of your longest toe.
  3. Measure from the wall to the mark and find that length in the table.

Measure at the end of the day, when your feet are at their largest.

Description

A Chelsea boot has nowhere to hide. No laces, no hardware, so the silhouette carries it or it does not. The last is slim, the welted commando sole stops it looking delicate, and the full-grain leather scuffs into something better than it started. The 2.0 is easier to step into, with a slightly better fit and softer at the heel.
Premium features
  • The improved 2.0: easier to step into, a slightly better fit and softer at the heel.
  • Handmade in Portugal, in a family-run factory. Designed in the Netherlands.
  • Full-grain leather, LWG Gold tannery in Portugal. Marks, settles, holds its shape for years.
  • Welted, not glued. Stitched to the upper, it holds far longer than a bonded sole.

Good to know

  • We ship on working days. On New Year’s Day, King’s Day, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, we take a day off.
  • Delivery times are a guide. Very occasionally it takes a day longer, for example while your payment is still being processed.
  • We don’t deliver to PO boxes.

Insured in transit

Your order is insured until it reaches you. Sometimes we ask for a signature on delivery; from then on, the parcel is your responsibility. If someone else signs for you, their signature counts as proof of delivery.

Ordering from outside the EU?

Outside the EU (except the UK), you don’t pay Dutch VAT: the 21% comes off your order automatically at checkout, as soon as you enter your address or switch country or currency. Import duties and local taxes aren’t included; the carrier collects them on delivery (DDU). We can’t calculate or cover them in advance, so check with your local customs office what to expect.

Handmade in Portugal.

Cut from premium nappa, full grain and suede, then built on the last by makers who do little else. It takes years to master a shoe. We’re still finding ways to make it better.
