Epaulet Sewn by Hand footwear is our exclusive in-house brand. Each piece is handsewn and meticulously crafted in Maine of the finest leathers and materials. This special edition piece is designed to change appearance and age beautifully with wear.
This Somerset is the happy marriage of two of our favorite leathers; the body of the shoe is made of beautiful, rich brown chromexcel, while the plug of the shoe (the tongue and top of the toe-box) is made of unfinished leather. This combination not only offers a stunning dual-tone, but the dynamic and evolving nature of the natural plug will give the shoe a unique appearance that's distinct to each wearer. As the plug darkens with age, gaining character and depth, it will become a more subtle contrast to the brown chromexcel body. Match this with an unfinished bridle leather belt and it might be too good to take.
The Somerset is a rugged 4-eyelet camp moccasin welted to a white Vibram Cristy sole, with the stitched welt covered by a strip of leather for a more streamlined look. This shoe is insanely comfortable and can be worn year-round. If the sole wears out, a cobbler can easily replace it. The moccasin toe is hand-stitched and topped off with raw leather laces, brass eyelets, and a padded footbed.We gave this particular make-up a glove leather liner to ensure that it holds its structure and is as comfortable to wear in cooler months as it is in warmer ones.
MOCCASIN CONSTRUCTION
Epaulet Sewn by Hand footwear uses genuine moccasin construction. With this, a continuous piece of leather forms a secure bond around your foot. It's an intricate process that requires extensive hand-labor and years of experience. But the result is well worth it. With true moccasin construction, the shoe can easily mold to the exact contours of your foot - yielding a final product that's extremely comfortable and satisfying to wear.
SIZING
Epaulet Sewn by Hand shoes run generally true to size. However, as they feature handsewn moccasin construction, they will conform to your feet. It's important to consider how you'll wear them.
If you intend to mostly wear your shoes or boots with thin socks or barefoot, we'd recommend ordering 1/2 size down from your typical dress shoe size. This would be roughly equivalent to our sizing recommendations for the Alden Barrie & Tru-Balance lasts. So, if you typically wear a 10D in dress shoes, order a 9.5D. The majority of our customers choose to do this.
If you intend to wear your shoes or boots with substantial socks, then we recommend ordering true to size. This would be roughly equivalent to the Alden Leydon and Aberdeen lasts. So, if you typically wear a 10D in dress shoes, order a 10D.
