The Marco is a dark brown Derby — the color that covers everything. Open lacing, a smooth upper, a near-black brown on an almond-toe last with a comfortable fit. The upper is top-grade European calfskin, the dark brown burnished by hand at the toe and heel so the depth moves rather than sitting flat. Built on the 675 last. Made by our artisans in a workshop in Almansa, Goodyear welted one pair at a time. A full leather sole keeps it dressed.

Put it under charcoal or navy and it reads as a decision; put it under dark denim and it holds the register. Dark brown on open lacing is the combination for the man who wants the range of black and the warmth of brown.

Serious without going severe — the dark brown Derby for the man who wants it all.
