Same Van last, same LHS silhouette, built with a machine-stitched moccasin front so Middleborough can keep up with demand. In calfskin instead of cordovan, which quiets it down a shade and lets us build it at a Canadian price that doesn't ask a customer to sit on a list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 1.5em 0;\"\u003eThe black calfskin here is dressed under a soft gloss out of the box. It quiets down with polish and a little wear, then holds a proper shine on the toe and heel where you want one. The full penny strap carries the classic lozenge cutout, no ornament, no seasonal trim. Rapid welt, flat leather sole, half slip heel. It is meant to last decades and be recrafted, not replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 1.5em 0;\"\u003eWear it with grey flannel, dark denim, or tobacco chinos. Formal enough for a jacket, easy enough for a Saturday. If a client is buying their first pair from us this year, most of them start here or with the 986.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel 9827 on the Van last\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack calfskin upper, moccasin-front vamp, machine-stitched\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull strap with lozenge cutout penny slot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRapid welt, flat leather outsole, half slip heel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntique edge dressing, unlined footbed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade one pair at a time in the United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; Sizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 1em 0;\"\u003eThe Van last runs about a half size long.
