Boot and Leather (602M Last)   This is our classic cap-toe Richmond pattern. This particular boot features a full grain vegetable-tanned upper leather. Working with our partner tannery in Spain, we were able to take the Rust color (seen on the F/W 2023 Allen and Richmond boots) and use it on the same vegetable tanned base leather article we used as part of the Henna series from F/W 2023 as well to create this article. In short, it's our newest Rust color but on a full grain, full vegetable tanned hide. The tanning process of this leather includes many natural oils along with a healthy amount of wax. Therefore, you might see a mild pull-up effect to this leather upon wearing, bending, flexing, etc.    Grade   1 - 5-30-2025: Try-on's from local shoe repair shop as well as prior customer exchanges. Boots may have some leather bending.  Our build focuses on enhanced breath-ability and shock absorption in a more natural way by using leather components.
