St. James II | Suede | Mink
Estimated Delivery Time: t.b.a.

The St. James II is a striking Oxford dress shoe that’s a signature creation of Gaziano & Girling. It’s crafted around the shoemaker’s chiselled-shaped MH71 last, which has an English personality with a square toe, using a beautiful mink suede.
Thanks to its subtle and charming texture, the formality of this smart dress shoe is softened, thus allowing it to be worn in a more casual way, too. It has a single leather sole for slim elegance, and features punched broguing details across the toe and vamp.

Material: Suede
Sole: Single Leather

Made in: Kettering, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom
Gaziano & Girling has swiftly become a cornerstone of English shoemaking, seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design influences.
Founded by Tony Gaziano and Dean Girling, the brand draws inspiration from English heritage and Italian elegance. Renowned for their distinctive Art Deco aesthetic, each pair showcases impeccable detailing, including chiselled toes and sweeping lines. Handmade in Northampton to bespoke-like standards, Gaziano & Girling exemplifies the art of shoemaking at its most refined and innovative.

- 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.
