The Chetwynd Contour

Church's presents the Chetwynd Contour

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.

An ever-evolving style, relevant through the years

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.
