Fall is the season for transformation. Let your footwear be the centerpiece.

For the discerning gentleman who appreciates the finer things in life, the #9973 Wholecut in Burgundy is a testament to Italian craftsmanship and timeless elegance. A departure from the ordinary, this shoe is a statement piece that seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary style.

The heart of the shoe lies in its Blake construction, a method that demands unparalleled skill and attention to detail. Unlike Goodyear welted shoes, the Blake stitch is sewn directly through the insole, upper, and outsole, creating a sleeker profile and a more lightweight feel. This construction, combined with our artisans' expertise, results in a shoe that is flexible, comfortable and supportive.

The hand-painting process is an art form in itself. Our artisans meticulously apply multiple layers of vegetable-based dyes, allowing the color to penetrate the leather for a rich, enduring hue. The toe is burnished by hand, adding depth and character to the shoe. The result is a shoe that develops a unique patina over time, a testament to its authenticity and the wearer's personal journey.

Every element of the #9973 Wholecut is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to quality. From the selection of materials to the final assembly, each pair is crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail.

Burgundy, a deep, rich hue, exudes sophistication and timeless style. It's a color that commands attention without being overpowering. Its association with autumnal tones makes it the perfect choice for fall fashion. It complements a wide range of colors, from classic neutrals to bolder hues.

How to Wear It
Business Attire: It looks impeccable with a navy suit and crisp white shirt. Add a patterned tie and pocket square for a touch of personality.
Casual Wear: Pair these shoes with dark-wash jeans, a cashmere sweater, and a leather jacket for a sophisticated yet laid-back look.

Date Night: Dress to impress by combining the wholecut with tailored trousers, a dress shirt, and a sport coat.

Color Coordination
Classic Pairing: Burgundy and navy are a match made in style heaven. Pair your burgundy wholecuts with a navy suit or blazer for a refined, polished look.

Earthy Tones: Embrace the fall spirit by combining your shoes with earthy colors like olive green, brown, and mustard yellow. A burgundy wholecut with olive chinos and a brown sweater creates a sophisticated yet relaxed ensemble.

Unexpected Contrast: For a bolder look, experiment with burgundy and gray. A charcoal suit with a burgundy shirt and your burgundy wholecuts creates a striking contrast.

As the temperature drops, the burgundy wholecut effortlessly transitions into the colder months. Pair it with a charcoal overcoat, a cashmere turtleneck, and tailored trousers for a sophisticated winter ensemble. For a more casual look, combine it with a chunky knit sweater, dark denim, and a leather jacket.

As the weather begins to warm, lighten up your look while retaining the elegance of the burgundy wholecut. Pair it with a navy blazer, chinos, and a crisp white shirt for a refined spring aesthetic. For a more casual approach, try it with a light-colored linen suit and a pastel-colored shirt.
