"Elegant and of course excellent quality"
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. In a soft black calf leather, this is an ideal choice to complement any outfit, and can be dressed up or down depending on your occasion.

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."
- 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 black 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

Product details
Why choose the black Brighton?
Our lovely black 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 black Brighton is a great staple to wear with business smart outfits.
Black looks great with every colourway, and use its simplicity to wear contrasting checks and pinstripes for a more individual look.
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 classic black 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.
