Discover The Leather
Materials
At the heart of The Dryden is its material—deep, dark brown country calf, selected for its rich texture and natural strength. The pebbled grain finish isn’t just a visual statement—it adds resilience, depth, and unmistakable character. Each hide is carefully sourced from Europe’s most respected tanneries, where leather is still treated with patience and purpose. Inside, the shoe is fully lined with genuine soft calf leather, offering breathable comfort from the first step to the last. This is leather that speaks—quietly, confidently, and with lasting presence.

Feel the Craftsmanship
The Dryden is a clean, understated derby shoe designed for those who appreciate subtlety in craftsmanship. Its plain front gives it a minimalist, versatile look, while the almond-shaped medium round toe offers structure without feeling stiff. The lace-up closure keeps it classic, but it’s the texture of the pebbled leather that sets it apart—adding dimension and quiet elegance. Hand-cut, hand-lasted, and hand-finished by skilled artisans who’ve spent decades in the trade, every detail reflects the Leatherly commitment to timeless, honest shoemaking.

Good Year Welted
Built to last using the Goodyear welt construction, The Dryden is more than just handsome—it’s made for life on your feet. The sole is full leather, securely stitched for long-term durability and easy resoling. The heel, constructed from stacked layers of leather and wood, gives balanced support and subtle lift. Each pair takes time to make—because the kind of sole that walks with you for years isn’t made overnight. It’s built with care, by hands that know the craft.
