Clinch Jodhpur Boots Black Horsebutt CN
Clinch by Brass Tokyo
Clinch has become world-renowned for the artisanal quality with which founder Minoru Matsuura designs and crafts each style in the company's lineup.
Built around unique wooden lasts carved by hand, Clinch aims to recreate the build and style of 1940's boots from the ground up. All components are carefully sourced to create a boot that stands apart.
The CN Wide last which these Jodhpur Boots are built on have a beautifully sculpted shape, arguably the most distinctive and desired detail of this hand-carved wooden last created by Clinch. The fit is snug, contouring to the foot, with the intent of the leather moulding to the shape of your foot over time. The all-important toe box style is un-structured, and reasonably flat keeping its shape without flattening out too much, and the vamp fits closely to the instep. We find that the CN last can easily accommodate a US D-width fitting and most foot-shapes.
The Jodhpur Boot from Clinch is their take on a traditional Jodhpur style, although a little more refined, with some inspiration taken from their Engineers styles as well as their archive. These feature a logger heel, using a reproduction 'O'Sullivan's' Heel Block (O'Sullivan's was an American manufacturer of heels and patented this style in 1899). The vamp front features a unique crease line through the centre, similar to vintage Engineer boot styles as well as their own styles.
Sourced and hand selected from a tannery in Europe, the horsebutt used by Clinch is hand over-dyed, which with wear will gain a natural shine and reveal the leather's distinctive natural underlying colour; just like original examples of the 1940's.
The horsebutt uppers are put together in three sections, with each section expertly cut by hand. Put together with intricate, tonal stitching, the Jodhpur boot also features a belt closure where two halves cross one another in an 'X' shape, before looping through to the outside shaft and finished with a brass buckle adjuster.
These are listed in US Sizing. For further information on sizing and fitting please visit our footwear size guide or drop us an email on info@clutch-cafe.com.
