An elegant Oxford with a classic cap toe, the preferred style of the British aristocracy since its inception in 1945, is introduced in hand-bleached calfskin that creates a subtle nuance on the upper, enhancing the intensity of the colour. Crafted on Church’s historic 173 last with an essential aesthetic, the Consul pays homage to ambassadors, politicians, and gentlemen who contributed to its fame. Details like the double stitching on the toe emphasise the quintessentially English charm of this simply iconic formal shoe. Made in Northampton, England, using the Goodyear method.
