Ernest Wholecut - Natural Oak Bark Tanned Calf

Ernest Wholecut - Natural Oak Bark Tanned Calf

  • Asymmetric wholecut derby design
  • Hand cut, lasted, welted and sole stitched
  • J. & F. J. Baker Oak Bark Tanned English calf
  • Handmade in Northampton, England
  • Natural Lactae Hevea Sole
  • Ltd availability due to crafting time

The Ernest wholecut is the first of our hand welted collection, made in collaboration with our sister brand, E Woodford & Sons. Every sneaker is lasted and stitched completely by hand in our Northampton Factory using English Oak Bark tanned leather and components.

The Upper is hand lasted by pins to a channeled insole; a double welt is then hand stitched to create a sidewall and lower welt. Cork is applied along with a through and Lactae Hevea sole, which is hand stitched in place to the lower welt.

The process has taken years from design to completion. It is our re-engineering of traditional methods of shoe making by artisans like our owner Chris Woodford's great grandfather, Ernest. The welted method of shoe making built Northampton’s renowned reputation as the ā€˜shoe capital of the world’ and we are proud to continue it.
