Why choose the black Harrow?
A versatile staple for any wardrobe, Harrow in black is an understated, refined Oxford with an edgy punch-toe detailing on the capped toe.
This classic shoe brings a sartorial elegance to any business smart or smart casual ensemble and its timeless style makes it well worthy of investment.
Looks good with...
Our cap-toe Harrow Oxford is possibly the most versatile shoe to pair with smart tailoring. Its simplicity and subtle shaping complement any smart outfit, and the punch-toe adds detail and interest for a contemporary feel.
Pair the classic black Harrow with a black or grey suit for a sleek, sophisticated look.
Stitched leather sole and stacked leather heel
The sole is stitched onto the upper using a traditional and refined Italian method called Blake stitching. This allows the sole to be easily replaced when it eventually wears but we've used a rubber insert as well, to aid longevity and grip.
There is a 25mm genuine-leather stacked heel, with 6 brass pins and a rubber piece, again for longer wear and better grip. There is also a ??gentleman??s corner??, a small bevel that reduces snagging of the heel on your trousers. We've even added an embossed Thomas Bird logo in the waist of the sole too, a distinctive feature of our brand.
Materials and craftsmanship
We work with the finest Italian artisan shoemakers who showcase their expertise in cutting, shaping, stitching and dying leathers, skilled crafts that have been handed down through the generations.
With attention to detail being paramount, leathers are carefully selected by weight and pliability and cut to form the pattern to fit the last. Then several stages of dying, polishing and burnishing create the depth and richness of the classic black colour.
Italian made
Italy is renowned for the quality and style innovation of its beautiful leathers and components used in the shoemaking process.
It has a strong and well-deserved reputation as the home of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail and we want nothing less for our Thomas Bird collection.
