FEIT has released a limited edition lineup of leather accessories as part of their hand sewn collection. The lineup — which includes a wallet made from Florentine leather in a vertical and horizontal style as well as a leather wrapped gun-metal shoehorn — is hand made in Italy. The pieces come in matching Italian vegetable-tanned leather available in Naturale, Corteccia and Nero. The wallets are made from a single piece of vegetable tanned calf skin with the final product being seamless and extremely practical. This 15 inch leather shoehorn is also wrapped in a single piece of vegetable tanned calf skin leather while the leather casing is hand molded and entirely seamless as well.
All the pieces are of limited stock and can be pre-ordered now through FEIT.
Some of the finest footwear we’ve seen in quite sometime, Feit’s limited edition “Hand Sewn Reconnaissance” collection for Spring 2012 features a few new models in a range of colorways. The Hand Sewn Superclean Low, High and Stitchown model combine specialized techniques such as hand-made Goodyear construction, with the heel construction of a hand sewn moccasin, and finishing in the shape and feel of a classic court sport sneaker, each style is built to completion by one master craftsman using the finest Italian leathers. Look for these to not only be available for preorder through feitdirect.com but through select retailers worldwide as well.
We got turned to FEIT a short while back and were just stunned at the time and attention to detail they dedicated to each and every sneaker they released. Yep, sneaker. Some boot- and shoe-makers don’t spend this amount of resources when they’re dishing out product. The brand’s Superclean Lows are un-matched on the market, just off the sneaker’s minimalistic design and use of top-notch materials. The shell’s made from supple French calfskin and is fitted with waxed cotton laces. Oh, and it features handsewn Goodyear construction. Unreal.
What’s even more unreal is the fact that we’ve been given the opportunity to giveaway five pairs of these beauties to our readers.
Feit unveils another shoe, this time dropping a classic oxford style with the brand’s iconic x-ray sole. The shell’s made from Horween Chromexcel leather and features hand sewn Goodyear construction. It’s available in Ox Blood brown and a black finish as well.
There’s nothing we enjoy more than turning you all to new, fairly under the radar brands that are trending in the right direction, and we feel Feit falls into this bucket. Though only a few years young, the brand’s been doing some great things as of late, and this falls squarely on the shoulders of Tull Price, the man who founded the company back in 2005. Price looks to deliver product that’s made from high quality materials such as Horween leather. The true differentiator is this — they work directly with the factory to eliminate the middle man and save costs which the consumer would end up having to pay. It’s a direct, made to order business.
