The Cavalier Story

Brown Derby Shoes β€” Warmth, Depth & Formal Style

A Chicago brand. Every pair handcrafted to order at Tevfik’s bench in Gaziantep.

The Cavalier is for the man who prefers character over convention. Deep, rich brown leather brings a warmth black can’t match β€” especially in daylight, where color and texture come alive. An open-laced apron-toe derby, Blake-stitched so it can be resoled for years rather than replaced.

These brown derby shoes are the choice for outdoor weddings, garden parties, and business occasions where navy or grey suits call for something richer. Explore our full range of Derby Shoes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Sizing, delivery, returns, and care β€” answered.

How do I choose my size?

The Cavalier runs true to size β€” order your usual US size. Between sizes, size up; wide feet, size up once. Not right? We offer a free U.S. size exchange, and your new pair is handcrafted in about three weeks. See the size guide near the size selector for the full US/EU/UK chart.

How long until my shoes arrive?

Every pair is made to order in our Gaziantep workshop, then shipped free to the U.S. β€” most orders arrive in about three weeks (roughly two weeks of crafting plus tracked shipping). Have a wedding or event coming up? Order at least four weeks ahead.

What if the fit isn’t right?

You’re covered. Free U.S. shipping and returns, a 30-day window, and a free size exchange. If you exchange, your replacement pair is handcrafted to order in about three weeks.

Can these shoes be resoled?

Yes. The Cavalier is Blake-stitched with a leather sole, so a cobbler can resole it when the time comes β€” built to be repaired and worn for years, not thrown away.

What leather do you use?

Full-grain leather β€” the top layer of the hide and the highest grade. It’s more durable than corrected or β€œgenuine” leather and develops a rich personal patina as you wear it.

How do I care for them?

Brush off dust after wear, apply a matching cream now and then to nourish the leather, and use cedar shoe trees to hold their shape. Avoid prolonged wet exposure β€” if caught in rain, stuff with paper and let them air-dry naturally.
