Our serviceable Bythborough Chelsea boot is designed for the rugged outdoors. The waxed Tailgate leather undergoes a unique tanning process and is treated with natural waxes and oils to improve the water resistance. We’ve also included a waterproof membrane bag inside the boot to keep the water firmly out. The leather has a characterful, matt, tumbled texture with a smooth waxy feel. The character will continue to develop over the years and the waxes in the leather can be replenished from time to time with a balsam. There is sturdy woven back pull tab and we’ve chosen a practical, sturdy, cleated rubber Vibram sole, lifted with a contrasting light coloured stitch to complement the upper.
