These are a pair of Church's Cape Buck brogues that are somewhere between ten and fifteen years old. I have not shown the sole because, to my shame, I let them go to the point where my shoemaker could not stitch replacement soles, but rather had to glue them. Had I known better, I would have spent the money and sent them back to Church's for recrafting and saving the soles. Perhaps that will still be possible on the next repair, but I doubt it. As far as I know, real Cape Buck is no longer in use in production shoes and maybe not even in bespoke. In any event, this model on this last has always represented to me the perfect brogue. At one time I had pairs in two different calf colors plus this Buck version. This pair is all I have left.
