Mythical leather, Rediscovered

FJ Bakers Russian Leather is a reproduction of the legendary leather. It was created by studying the only known remaining rolls of leather from the 18th century shipwreck. These leathers are tanned using the same techniques and materials that the original Russian artisans would have used.

Revival of the lost art

Each piece of leather is dyed, printed, and hand-treated with a blend of natural oils. This includes birch oil, which makes the leather water-resistant, insect-repellent, and fragrant. This traditional process has been used since the 17th century to create high-quality Russian leather.

360° Channeling insole Goodyear Welted

Leather Channeling

Our shoes are stitched to a leather channel on the insole unlike most factory made shoes where it is stitched to a gemmed cotton rib.

Sharp Feather Edge Shape

Compared to a cotton rib, a welt stitched to a leather channel in the insole sits flatter on the shoe giving it a sharper feather edge.

Whole Day Comfort

The thicker insole adds more stability and support to the feet resulting in a more comfortable experience even over an extended period of wear.

Quicker break-in period

The combination of a thick insole and the welt sitting almost in-line with the insole, reduces the break-in period of the shoe significantly.

Standard Features Of Bridlen Shoes

3D Attachment

The upper components are attached together on a last as opposed to on a flat surface. It gives definition of shape to the upper even before the lasting process allowing for lesser pressure needed during lasting. This in turn keeps the natural feeling of the leather intact and gives the overall shoes a more well defined shape.

Minimal Adhesives

The 3D attachments allow for very little and weak adhesives to be used only along the edges keeping the breathability of the premium leathers intact. It allows for the leather to age more naturally over time.

Materials

The seat area fits more snug to the heel as leather board counter is a more breathable and living material adding to a comfortable and good fit. The heels are stacked layer by layer and nailed top-down making for a robust yet clean, premium finish.
