ACME Shoemaker

The client wanted patina — but restrained. Dark brown as the foundation, with a gradient that adds dimension without announcing itself.

It’s a difficult balance to strike. Too much and it becomes costume; too little and there‘s no point. This sits exactly in between.

Made for a client in London

Hand-burnished cognac leather, ankle strap, red leather sole. The Jodhpur is one of those silhouettes that needs nothing added — the boot itself is the statement. Every crease and gradient in the patina belongs to its owner from the first wear.

Acme Shoemaker · Jodhpur Boot · MTO

The Adelaide Oxford, now in Dark Brown Gradient.
Cap toe, brogue medallion, closed lacing — a combination that has been right for over a century. The gradient finish adds depth without disrupting the formality of the silhouette. In certain light, the toe almost disappears into black. In others, it opens into a warm dark brown.
That shift is what makes it interesting.
