Introducing the Chequer Monk in brown, exquisitely fashioned from the finest calfskin full grain leather. The Chequer is a double monk strap cap toe and buffalo outer with a woven leather body. The hand weaving done is simply an accumulation of passion and a master craftsman's ode. A leather sock padded with insole leather stitching for comfort. The Chequer Monk's construction is one of the most durable and reliable methods known by artisans as the Goodyear Welt. Much like your favorite pair of raw denim this leather ages in a similar way, developing a âpatinaâ as oils from your skin and other nvironment absorbs into it giving it the raw vintage look.Â
