IL BASSO - Navy
A clean low profile in full-grain calfskin, cut close to the foot with no overlays, no contrast panels, and nothing stitched on the side. The kind of shoe that reads as a shoe from six feet away and as something considerably better up close.
Blake-stitched to a slim rubber sole — thin enough to sit under a trouser break without looking athletic, substantial enough to walk a city in. The leather is unlined at the collar and vegetable-tanned, so it softens to your foot in a week and creases where you bend rather than where the factory decided.
Wear it with tailored trousers on a Friday. Nobody will think you dressed down.
