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. A classic cap toe oxford crafted on the 173 last, the time-honoured Consul has become our most popular style to date due to it’s sleek, elegant and uncomplicated, yet formal appeal. ------A natural finish is achieved using waxes, applied by hand, to gradually build up shading and enhance the innate beauty of the Nevada calf leather, while double stitching on the toe cap and quarter lining add defining details to this exemplary style. ------Made in Northampton, England.
