The Douglas Oxford is not your run-of-the-mill formal shoe that quietly hides under trousers like an embarrassed wallflower. This is the kind of Oxford that instantly earns a second glance — not for showiness, but because craftsmanship still speaks louder than logos. Born from our Artisan collection and steeped in classic English design, The Douglas blends timeless elegance with thoughtful details that reward both the wearer and the onlooker.

Hand-finished by skilled shoemakers using traditional methods and carefully selected quality hides, The Douglas features a rich, burnished patina that fades subtly from dark tan to deeper oxblood highlights — a finish that looks decidedly smart whether you’re walking city pavements or ducking into a country club. The patina isn’t just a colour; it’s a quiet proclamation of heritage and care.

Underfoot, classic Goodyear welted leather soles with our signature purple rubber insert add durability and grip without sacrificing refinement, while stacked leather heels provide structured support with every step. The Oxford silhouette is universally flattering, making The Douglas a versatile pivot between smart tailoring and elevated casual.

In short, these aren’t just shoes — they’re an invitation to reinvent your formal wardrobe with a piece that marries history, substance and just the right amount of sartorial swagger.
