"Perfect as a dress shoe - you see and feel the quality"

Buckingham is a stylish blucher based on the same last as our Benson wholecut. It has the open lacings of a derby but without the derby seam, and creates that clean, uninterrupted wholecut look. In classic black leather, this smart shoe is comfortable and versatile and complements any suit beautifully.

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

Thomas Bird fitting advice: Buckingham
"Fits true to size. The Derby lace up opens out to accomodate a slightly higher than standard instep if required. If you are inbetween sizes, then we normally recommend dropping down to the nearest whole size."

Product details

Why choose the black Buckingham?

Our Buckingham blucher is an easy-to-wear style with the open lacings of a derby but without the seams. Its sleek, simple silhouette looks clean and businesslike, but pared down with smart jeans, it can also look comfortable and easy for a more casual appearance.

The black Buckingham is a versatile shoe that will work well with any colourway.

Looks good with...

With its clean lines and easy feel, the black Buckingham is an ideal shoe to pair with a smart tailored suit, for all-day comfort and elegance.

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 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.
