A true wholecut oxford is a beautiful thing: The clean and unbroken pattern leaves the leather and silhouettespeaking for themselves,and gives you the opportunity to show off the handsome shine you've lovingly applied to your pair.

The "Union" is our first JF Line wholecut oxford with no brogueing, and as such we made it on our chisel Saint Helens last, to really sharpen the lines on which a wholecut's style depends. The resulting shoe is sleek and leans heavily towards formal wear; while you can wear it casually, we recommend you pair the Union with some tailoring.
