Why choose the brown Eastwood?
Eastwood is our gorgeous classic chelsea boot. It is a simple, beautifully crafted ankle boot and with elasticated sides and a soft leather lining, is easy to slip on and off.
Its subtle, unfussy silhouette gives a clean line with smart tailoring, but this versatile boot can be dressed down to look relaxed and comfortable for more informal occasions.
Looks good with...
With its simple shape and cut, the Eastwood chelsea boot can be worn with smart tailoring for a contemporary, sleek, unfussy look, but pare it down with jeans and a jacket, and it immediately has a more relaxed, comfortable vibe.
Complement its simplicity in our lovely rich brown with a bold coloured or patterned suit for an individual, classy look.
Stitched leather sole and stacked leather heel
The sole is stitched onto the upper using a traditional and refined Italian method called Blake stitching. This allows the sole to be easily replaced when it eventually wears but we've used a rubber insert as well, to aid longevity and grip.
There is a 25mm genuine-leather stacked heel, with 6 brass pins and a rubber piece, again for longer wear and better grip. There is also a ‘gentleman’s corner’, a small bevel that reduces snagging of the heel on your trousers. We've even added an embossed Thomas Bird logo in the waist of the sole too, a distinctive feature of our brand.
Materials and craftsmanship
We work with the finest Italian artisan shoemakers who showcase their expertise in cutting, shaping, stitching and dying leathers, skilled crafts that have been handed down through the generations.
With attention to detail being paramount, leathers are carefully selected by weight and pliability and cut to form the pattern to fit the last. Then several stages of dying, polishing and burnishing create the depth and richness of the unique brown colour.
Italian made
Italy is renowned for the quality and style innovation of its beautiful leathers and components used in the shoemaking process.
It has a strong and well-deserved reputation as the home of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail and we want nothing less for our Thomas Bird collection.
