"Great quality and fit. Works well with a dark grey suit."

Brighton is a relaxed, comfortable and stylish derby/gibson with subtle, angular lines. It is based on the same last as our Harrow and Camden oxfords. Tan pairs well with blue tones, but looks great with any colourway to add warmth and interest.

Relaxed derby/gibson design with open lacing
More comfortable than oxfords for men with a higher instep
Full grain calf leather for softness and longevity
Hand-dyed tan finish, polished and burnished
Hard-wearing Blake-stitched leather/rubber sole for added grip
Full calf leather lining for comfort and to absorb moisture
Made in Italy by artisan shoemakers

Thomas Bird fitting advice: Brighton
"Fits ever so slightly generous by around a quarter size. With leather insoles, they fit true to size. If you are inbetween sizes, then we normally recommend dropping down to the nearest whole size."

Why choose the tan Brighton?

Our lovely tan Brighton shoe is a classic, old-school derby with clean lines and a comfortable fit.

It looks completely at home with a business smart outfit and is easy wearing all day long.

Looks good with...

With its clean lines and comfortable fit, the tan Brighton is a great staple to wear with business smart outfits.

In this super warm tone, this is a versatile choice and can be worn across any colourway.

Stitched leather sole and stacked leather heel

The sole is stitched onto the upper using a traditional and refined Italian method called Blake stitching. This allows the sole to be easily replaced when it eventually wears but we've used a rubber insert as well, to aid longevity and grip.

There is a 25mm genuine-leather stacked heel, with 6 brass pins and a rubber piece, again for longer wear and better grip. There is also a ‘gentleman’s corner’, a small bevel that reduces snagging of the heel on your trousers. We've even added an embossed Thomas Bird logo in the waist of the sole too, a distinctive feature of our brand.

Materials and craftsmanship

We work with the finest Italian artisan shoemakers who showcase their expertise in cutting, shaping, stitching and dying leathers, skilled crafts that have been handed down through the generations.

With attention to detail being paramount, leathers are carefully selected by weight and pliability and cut to form the pattern to fit the last. Then several stages of dying, polishing and burnishing create the depth and richness of the unique light brown colour.

Italian made

Italy is renowned for the quality and style innovation of its beautiful leathers and components used in the shoemaking process.

It has a strong and well-deserved reputation as the home of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail and we want nothing less for our Thomas Bird collection.
