Description

DescriptionThe one that started it all, the Authentic Original is a tried-and-true icon of prep style. True to our heritage, they’re still hand-sewn using time-honored craftsmanship, with premium materials and the wet/dry traction that made them legendary. Effortlessly setting the bar for what a real boat shoe should be, seafarers love the A/O’s capability; street-farers crave its classic cool. Here they’re elevated with soft lambskin linings, rich leather uppers and 18K gold-plated eyelets—but just as purpose-built as ever. We don’t want them, we need them (that true sign of luxury).
