The iconic Consul has been gracing the feet of the English gentry since 1945 and was named historically after the English ambassadors and politicians who wore it. This limited edition Consul 1945 pays homage to this stately shoe with a commemorative gold stamp in the waist, a red backstay detail and a hand-painted bi-colour leather sole. Crafted on the sleek 173 last, this formal item remains our most popular style to date.------A natural finish is achieved using waxes, applied by hand, to gradually build up shading and enhance the innate beauty of the luxurious anniversary calf leather, while double stitching on the high shine toe cap and quarter lining add defining details to this exemplary style.------Made in Northampton, England.
