Why choose the black patent Mayfair?
The creation of a faultless, seamless patent shoe is a highly skilled craft and we use only the very best shoemakers for creating our beautiful and unique wholecut black patent Mayfair.
Its clean, sleek silhouette and luxury shine exude sophistication and style making this shoe the ultimate in sartorial elegance.
Looks good with...
This shoe showcases sophistication and flair and should be worn to be noticed.
Make a statement with a contrasting coloured suit at a wedding, or as a subtle expression of refinement with a dinner suit.
Stitched leather sole and stacked leather heel
The Mayfair has a stacked leather heel with a half rubber top piece for added grip.
The sole in leather is painted black with the distinctive Thomas Bird logo in the waist, and with no visible pins, the simplicity and elegance of this shoe continues even to the sole.
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 patent 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.
