The Whittier oxford is a design straight from the mind of Mr. FitzPatrick: The hand-stitched apron detail and false heel counter create a one-of-a-kind pattern on what is, underneath it all, a classic wholecut oxford. The resulting model has proven an enduring favorite among J.FitzPatrick staff and customers alike, and for the first time is available for purchase with a hand-dyed patina by

The Ocean Depths patina was created by Hancore exclusively for the November 2022 GMTO. Black gives way to subtle blue hues on the vamps, side panels, and heel counters, creating the effect of color rising from below and breaking through the otherwise dark surface of this handsome oxford. These subdued colors will show most strongly in bright natural light -- sinking to a near-total black at night.
