Artisanal excellence meets the latest manufacturing technology in the Chetwynd Contour, an innovative iteration of an iconic style. Crafted on the distinctive 173 last, the refined Oxford lace-up stands out for its cutting-edge leather engraving technique, using high-frequency waves to reimagine the traditional wingtip design with a sophisticated and contemporary effect.
First introduced in 1948, the original Chetwynd made history in modern footwear. Initially designed on the 73 last, with a more formal appeal than brogues from the same era, it was later reworked on the 100 last for a contemporary twist. Combining aspects from both designs, Church's emblematic 173 last was born—a perfect blend of elegance and bold personality. The result of a meticulous eight-week craftsmanship process, the design is created through 250 handcrafted steps.
