I was sniffing around on the net looking for a Dack's advertizement for a wholecut shoe with no luck at all. Odd that they made wholecuts from at least the early 50's right through the anniversary years, but appear to have never advertized them. In my electronic journey I came across these Dacks Bespoke Anniversary whole-cuts in calf. Perhaps I don't get out enough, but I have only ever seen Dacks whole-cuts in water bison and kudu. Interesting to see them in smooth calf.

I don't ever recall seeing any wholecuts in person.
Pretty much finished up the restoration of my 1950's Dacks whole cut oxfords. I stripped and dyed them, and then evened out the colour as best I could with two different shoe creams. I also did a little interior restoration with glue and dye. They are a perfect fit, so I am pleased I can get some more miles out of them, They were in very poor shape but they are OK now. They are interesting in that they have the black diamond Dacks tag.
Before and after shots.

I agree. I just checked the newspaper archives. They never advertised them. I think the Diamond on the outside is just so damn cool. I am also pleased to see a second Black Diamond. They must have used them in the 50's.I saw a pair on kijiji once. Totally makes sense for Dacks to have made a few pairs of curling shoes.
