<\/a><\/p>\nThis American interlude is hardly out of character for J.M. Weston, whose founder Eug\u00e8ne Blanchard studied technique in the United States in 1904. To quench his thirst for knowledge, the young man crossed the Atlantic to learn the Goodyear stitching technique, which he then brought back to France. It was the start of J.M. Weston’s rise to fame.<\/p>\n
Moccasin, Derby & Laced Ankle Boot<\/p>\n Maison Kitsun\u00e9 worked closely with Michel Perry to develop this micro-collection of three models:<\/p>\n . A two-tone calfskin moccasin in grey and sand, representing the purest American “college” spirit, best worn barefoot in the summer. While J.M. Weston traditionally mounts its moccasins using Goodyear stitching, this design uses Blake stitching for a more flexible, relaxed shoe.<\/p>\n . A laced ankle boot in larch-tanned calfskin, reminiscent of a stroll through the woods of Vermont, with a perforated upper that recalls the broguing of traditional golf shoes.<\/p>\n . An East Coast-style derby, in larch-tanned calfskin or butter yellow calfskin suede, mounted on a brick-red rubber sole to be comfortable in the country and elegant in town. The brick-red rubber sole is a first for J.M. Weston, which generally uses Goodyear stitching on leather soles.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
