Full-grain leather derby, handcrafted in Italy and treated with a distressed spray finish that creates subtle tonal variations across the surface. The effect recalls the appearance of work shoes shaped by years of wear, movement and exposure. Wide-foot last inspired by early twentieth-century Japanese military footwear, offering greater stability and comfort. Oversized fold-over tongue. Leather lining. Vibram® lug sole construction. Antique brass eyelets and hardware throughout. Riveted antique brass logo plaque applied to the fold-over tongue.

Founded in 1908 as the first company to produce boots for the Italian army, Fracap has spent more than a century refining its approach to footwear through craftsmanship, durability and function. This collaboration reinterprets that heritage through a contemporary lens, drawing inspiration from the worn shoes of workers, travellers and everyday labour. The oversized tongue references the protective features traditionally found in industrial footwear, transforming a functional detail into a distinctive design element. The distressed finish celebrates use rather than perfection, while the generous proportions introduce a sense of ruggedness and ease. A reflection on craftsmanship, utility and the enduring beauty of objects shaped by life.
