DUCKER & SON VINTAGE BROGUES – BLACK - UK 7 – VERY GOOD CONDITION
A fine pair of vintage cap-toe, full-brogue oxford shoes in beautiful black calf leather from Ducker & Son of The Turl in Oxford – never out-of-place. They are in very good used condition overall – notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there – mainly at the toes (see photos).
Ducker & Son closed down in the last few years or so, and so they will be producing no more shoes, which is very sad, I think. Past customers include World War One air ace Baron von Richthofen, J.R.R. Tolkien, Evelyn Waugh, various Bowes-Lyon’s (the late queen-mother's family) and several Maharajahs; more lately, they have included Olympic rower Matthew Pinsent, comedian Rowan Atkinson,Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson and Formula One’s Eddie Jordan.
The width fitting is ‘EX’ - which is a ‘standard’ width fitting
The shoes feature leather soles, calf leather uppers and full leather linings.
Top quality from this traditional English shoemaker.
