STYLE INFO
As one of Church’s top styles, the Consul classic Oxford – named historically for the English ambassadors and politicians abroad who wore it – stands out for its sleek, elegant upper with double stitching on the toecap and quarter lining as well as for its practicality. We choose the leather meticulously and apply waxes by hand to gradually create subtle nuances that enhance the original beauty of the material.
A special foam is inserted between the leather sock and insole for added comfort. The shoe is Goodyear constructed and its leather sole features the Church’s logo and the company's provenance, 'Northampton England’.

THE LEYTON
AVANT-GARDE APPEAL
A classic spirit takes on a modern-day allure, punctuated by an unexpected dash of determination. Elegance reaches new heights.
As part of the innovative Contemporary Goodyear Welted Collection, the Leyton Derby shoe combines a sleek aesthetic with technically advanced characteristics, including a unique, 3cm rubber heel, achieving the ultimate balance between sophistication and sturdiness.
THE BURWOOD
ROLE CALL
THE MULTI-FACETED BURWOOD
ROLE CALL
THE MULTI-FACETED BURWOOD
The Burwood rests comfortably along the confines of one aesthetic and the next, taking on different personalities based on the wearer and resulting in veritable style alter egos.
The shoe’s elegance quotient goes up when worn with more laid-back elements like denim, countering the casually collegiate attire. Pairing it with a more refined look has the opposite effect as the full brogue Oxford’s thick triple sole conveys its unmistakably rugged appeal. Such chameleonic qualities render the Burwood the go-to shoe for the modern-day man.
THE GRAFTON
ELEGANCE MEETS
STURDINESS
An easy-going air belies a sophisticated spirit. Closer inspection reveals polished details and unexpected resilience – an elegance that withstands the test of time.
Known as a Golosh brogue, the Grafton features a thick triple sole and a storm welt that helps keep water out. Exquisite brogueing on the wing cap and upper adds a layer of refinement that speaks to an evolving gentleman with contemporary taste.

The key to off-duty dressing is striking the right balance between refinement and relaxation. A sleek, polished lace-up provides the perfect formal accent to offset a more informal ensemble.
The Grafton Derby shoe is a solid selection – wingtips with intricate brogueing and gimped edges and a unique, hand-applied finish embellish a thick triple sole to create an all-around style with polished practicality.
THE POLISHED TOUCH
A LITTLE LUSTRE GOES A LONG WAY
THE POLISHED TOUCH
A LITTLE LUSTRE GOES A LONG WAY
Low key looks can be transformed by the simple sheen of a well-shined shoe. This small, but important detail, evokes a natural air of refinement that shifts the tone of an ensemble, taking on a more formal key.
The Chetwynd, a classic Oxford, features a unique polished finish, which is applied to top quality leather for an exquisite and deep shine. Full brogueing and gimped edges add exceptional finishing touches to an already noteworthy style
THE ASPIRING
ARCHITECT
For some,
lines are everything.
Expect the unexpected.
The classic Lancaster Oxford stands out for its simplicity and is distinguished by its details. Double stitching delineates the cap toe and quarter lining while clean contours cut a sleek silhouette. The hand-applied finish lends a beautiful shine while an unexpected triple sole protects against the elements. Formality and function in one versatile style that proves not everything is always as it seems.
HANDCRAFTED HERITAGE
TOE TO TOE
From plain to perforated, the front of a shoe can pack a lot of personality
TOE TO TOE
From plain to perforated, the front of a shoe can pack a lot of personality
Plain Toe
As the name suggests, the plain toe has no decorations and offers a clean, simple look.
Cap Toe
A cap toe is actually a separate piece of leather sewn onto the front of a shoe (to form a “cap”), though visually looks like a horizontally stitched line. There can be decorative perforations along this line (quarter brogue) and/or decorations on the toe as well (semi-brogues).
Wingtip
This toe style is the most stylistic, featuring the winged brackets characteristically accompanied by decorative perforations (full or longwing brogue).
Apron/Split Toe
The apron toe is characterised by a line of stitching that goes from the middle of the shoe, around the toecap, and back to the middle on the other side. The only variation in the split toe is seam that runs down the middle of the front at the toecap.
TRADING
UP
Investing means taking (style) risks.
Though the Burwood takes the form of a classic Oxford, it possesses a truly unique aesthetic that perfectly balances rugged and refined. Historically speaking, the perforations of the style’s full brogueing were originally intended to allow water to drain when crossing wet terrains and a thick triple sole provides even more versatility. Combined with an exclusive polished binder finish that adds a sleek sheen, this shoe is an unconventional nod to elegance, though tough enough to tackle any corporate ladder.
