Longwings – also referred to as longwing bluchers, LWBs, or gunboats – are a traditional American style of shoe that features open lacing and a wingtip that reaches all the way to the back of the heel. The longwing is a classic and versatile style that has been popular for decades. Perhaps the most recognisable shoe in the Ivy pantheon, and undoubtedly the staple in all things formal when it comes to Ivy footwear. 

Our version is made together with Sanders on their neat and round military last 266. We opted for a hi-shine Picusa leather in the deepest burgundy. They have a black sole and welt with a natural sole seam that we polish to burgundy. If you wish the sole seam to remain white, please let us know in an order comment.
