Discover The Leather
Materials
Luxury begins with the right leather—and The Garwin is built from some of the best. Crafted from hand-selected antiqued calf leather, the surface reveals a deep, organic patina that can only come from time-honored tanning techniques. Rich, warm brown tones give the shoe a distinguished vintage character, while the bark-tanned process softens the leather without compromising strength. Inside, a full lining of breathable soft calf leather ensures that each step feels just as good as it looks. At Leatherly, we don't just source leather—we partner with Europe’s finest tanneries where each hide is chosen not for volume, but for its soul.

Feel the Craftsmanship
Refined yet striking, The Garwin stands apart with its apron-front split toe—a distinctive design long celebrated for its blend of elegance and rugged charm. The almond toe balances visual sharpness with natural comfort, while subtle stitching lines add texture and depth to the shoe’s profile. This isn't just a shoe—it’s a statement. Each pair is handmade by seasoned artisans who understand the subtle art of shaping, carving, and lasting. The result? A derby with quiet authority and timeless presence.
discover the Sole
Good Year Welted
Durability meets heritage with a Goodyear welted leather sole—one of the most time-honored constructions in fine shoemaking. This sole not only provides long-term strength and structure but is fully resoleable, extending the life of your investment. Underfoot, the stacked heel—crafted from layers of leather and wood—adds a traditional touch and a stable lift. Like the upper, it’s built entirely by hand, reinforcing the soul of Leatherly craftsmanship: enduring, precise, and never rushed.
