Dover | Unlined | Suede | Aqua
Estimated Delivery Time: 4 months

To mark the start of spring, we presented a special capsule together with Edward Green: Aqua Suede Editions. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with the team to produce unique models exclusive to The Hand (like the Oyster suede capsule). Perfect for sunny summer: the aqua suede Piccadilly loafer and Dover lace-up both of which are unlined for your comfort.
Aqua suede is an exceptionally vibrant color described as a deep light blue suede with a tropical touch. Depending on the lighting, it frequently appears differently, enhancing its allure. With its blue or even tropical water look, these will pair particularly elegantly with light chinos, British twill or Japanese denim. Due to the delicacy of this color, we’ll return this sample to Edward Green so the people selecting the hides within the workshop pick the same color range.
The Dover is Edward Green’s signature handsewn derby. The Hand’s version on the 202 last is unlined for a soft, light construction, making it ideal for summer, and you can wear it throughout the seasons. With single rubber R1 soles, it will keep you going all day long. Edward Green has been making the model since at least the 1920s. It is hand-sewn with a boar's bristle needle, one of shoe-making's most intricate crafts. The hand sewing on each pair takes over two hours to complete. A matching belt is available upon request.

Each pair reflects a harmonious balance of understated design and refined details, such as hand-sewn finishes and impeccable construction. Edward Green exemplifies a timeless dedication to artisanal excellence and enduring style.
Sizing notes: Relaxed and supportive fit
- Use Shoe Trees: Insert well-fitting shoe trees to maintain shape and extend lifespan, especially if shoes get wet. Premium suede can handle rain.
- Brush Regularly: Use a high-quality suede brush (preferably natural rubber, like Turms) to remove dirt. Use a welt brush to remove dust and dirt trapped in the crevices.
- Handle Stains Professionally: For stubborn stains (e.g., oil), consult a cobbler to treat with suede shampoo.
- Avoid Overusing Protective Sprays: Choose a natural protector; limit silicone sprays as they block leather pores and reduce breathability.
