{"product_id":"tsu15-10","title":"\"J.M. WESTON\" 2010's Prince of wales checked derby shoes","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"J.M. WESTON\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2014-2015 Prince of Wales check U-tip derby shoes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a French shoemaking house founded in 1891 that has continued to be loved by gentlemen around the world for its precise lasts and robust craftsmanship, J.M. WESTON presents a truly distinctive piece featuring an English-inspired pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model bears a double-name engraving on the insole—J.M. WESTON and Charlie Casely-Hayford—along with the inscriptions MADE IN FRANCE and MODELE PROTEGE. Since the shoes and design correspond to the Prince of Wales check pattern developed in this collaboration, this piece holds particular value as part of a capsule collection from around 2014-2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper is finished with fine Prince of Wales checks in black and an off-white\/ivory-toned palette. Although no material indication can be found, the surface presents a look akin to a woven fabric layered over leather, giving it an expression that, while remaining classic in pattern, offers a depth distinctly different from typical dress shoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rounded toe, created by pairing an out-laced lace-up construction with U-tip-style moc-style stitching, delivers a straightforward beauty that is unmistakably J.M. WESTON. Meanwhile, welt stitching and a leather sole with added thickness provide an appropriate center of gravity at the foot, naturally harmonizing the dignity of formal wear with a casual, strong presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe interior is lined in camel-brown leather. On the outsole, near the instep area, you can also find engravings of J.M. WESTON and MADE IN FRANCE. From the nailed-on heel top and the substantial look of the sole, you can feel the sturdiness of French production and the charm of vintage luxury.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may notice natural signs of use from wear on the sole and at the tips of the shoelaces. That said, the individuality of the checked upper and the calm, dark tones have matured into an elegant appearance over time. This is a pleasure not provided by simply “keeping things clean”—it is one of the appeals that only well-worn leather shoes can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile respecting the proven construction of classic leather footwear, this model is especially recommended for those who want to add personality subtly to their step. When paired with slacks or chino trousers, it brings depth to a proper, traditional look, and even with denim or military pants, the neatness of the pattern will help tighten the overall style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn terms of mood, it is a piece you can take in hand to complement tasteful everyday attire such as tailored jackets or knit polos—adding the depth of French shoemaking and an English spirit to your usual styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy all means, take this opportunity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.M.
