The GunDog Affair »Angus« Men's Derby

Description


The men’s Derby »Angus« blends British understatement with rugged elegance. Made of finest Scotch grain calf leather, it features a distinctive texture and detailed broguing, giving it a classic character. The generously cut Derby lacing ensures excellent comfort and an optimal fit.

A shoe with history

The Derby shoe dates back to the 19th century, when it was originally designed for outdoor pursuits such as hunting – its open lacing made it particularly practical. The characteristic perforation – known as broguing – has its origins in the Scottish and Irish Highlands. Originally, the punched patterns were intended to allow water to drain quickly from the shoes. Today, they are a stylistic hallmark that gives the shoe its distinctive character.

Craftsmanship for the highest standards

The »Angus« men’s Derby is made using traditional Goodyear welted construction and the Blake Rapid double-stitch method. This time-tested technique guarantees exceptional durability, as the outer sole can be replaced with ease – a shoe designed to last a lifetime. A soft leather lining and padded insole ensure outstanding comfort. The Vibram terrain sole provides excellent grip and traction, even on difficult or uneven ground.

Scotch grain leather – a Scottish innovation

Scotch grain leather originated in Scotland, where the tannery of Martin Grain was confronted with a recurring issue: The hides of local Highland cattle often showed scratches and scars that remained visible even after tanning. To conceal these natural irregularities, Martin Grain developed a specialised technique. By combining a two-tone finish with a fine embossing process, the leather gains its distinctive grain and captivating light-dark effect. This technique not only makes the leather visually unique but also particularly durable.

With the »Angus« Derby, you receive a classic men’s shoe that masterfully combines tradition, elegance and functionality – perfect for style-conscious men who value the highest quality.
