Today, we would like to introduce you to the changes over time of The 2 Monkeys VAUDEVILLE [TM83933] and The 2 Monkeys Sportif Black Calf [TM72924].

 

The 2 Monkeys VAUDEVILLE [TM83933] Price: ¥110,000 (tax included)

 

 

 

 

Vaudeville was a form of theater entertainment for the masses in America before the spread of film. From 1880 to 1920, when vaudeville was all the rage, there were many vaudeville theaters in big cities such as New York, and they were very busy. The content was also very diverse, with singing, dancing, comedy, magic, and more. Many of the stars of early silent films, such as Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, and the Marx Brothers, were from vaudeville. They traveled from theater to theater. The 2 Monkeys “VAUDEVILLE” is a boot made with the image of a vaudeville actor who was also a traveling performer. (It is not a reproduction of a specific vintage boot.) It was inspired by American and French boots from around 1910. It is a capped toe boot with a high toe, called a high toe or bulldog toe, and a waist leather with separate parts sewn together above and below. The original wooden last with a slightly oblique toe is combined with a small cap, a large waist leather, a low length, and a small heel to create the appearance of boots from that era. Two different manufacturing methods are combined to tightly tighten the waist, recreating the graceful appearance of boots from that time. The toe has a unique shape with a line, imagining actors who are used to showing off. The leather is horsehide (horse front), which is smooth but leaves the natural skin. Since it is not very "made up", scars and rose marks may become visible as you wear it, but it is leather that allows you to fully enjoy the horse leather characteristics including those. The soft leather fits the foot perfectly. Like "SPORTIF", it is an amazingly light boot.

Available in black and oak brown.

The black has a brown core that ages beautifully, while the oak brown has a deep, shaded color, and you can enjoy the changes that occur over time as the black dye used in the finishing process fades.

 

My favorite is the Oak Brown. I've been wearing them for just under a week now.

As mentioned in the introduction, just like the Sportif, I feel that they are light and easy to wear, even though they are boots.

The high toe looks really cool, and the softness of the horsehide leather gives it an irresistible fit.

I also like how easy it is to walk in.

I'm looking forward to seeing how it changes over time.

I would also like to share with you the changes over time.

 

 

Next is the sportif

 

The 2 Monkeys Sportif Black Calf [TM72924] Price: ¥121,000 (tax included)

 

 

 

 

 

- Goodyear welt construction (tread area)

・McKay method (waist to heel)

This sportif boot is a combination of these two.

The waist is tightly cinched, which can be easily seen when looking at the bottom of the sole.

The leather used for sportif bags is French calfskin, which has few blemishes and a fine grain, and is soft to the touch.

By pressing the surface of the leather, the leather fibers tighten and create firmness.

The leather used in sportif shoes is brown-core leather that has been hill-dyed, so as you wear them,

The leather will age over time, revealing the brown of the underlying material.

You can enjoy watching the expressions change.

Sportif boots are moccasin-style boots that can be worn with a wide range of pants, from slim to wide.

These are my most worn boots this year.

I've been wearing them for about 8 months now and they have become much more comfortable.

I will wear them again next year.

I would also like to be able to tell you about the changes over time.

 

 

 

Thank you for reading to the end.

 Have a good year.

また来年も宜しくお願い申し上げます。
