The Holdfast – Tan Brown Patina Derby

The patina on The Holdfast was built by hand in Tan Brown — layered, dried, and layered again until the depth of colour reached something worth wearing. Applied across a derby last, it makes a shoe that is formal where it needs to be and interesting everywhere else.
