'Irish Setter' Classic Moc Oxford – Triple Black
With the renewal of Red Wing’s Oxford model, Engineered Garments have designed a special edition that reflects EG's distinctive style, based on this model. First up is the Triple Black model, featuring a combination of three different black leathers: Black Chrome, Black Abilene Suede, and Black Prairie.
From the Moc toe and the storm welt’s big stitches and every other stitch, everything is blacked out, including the traction tread sole and eyelets, creating a fully monochromatic look. While the mixed upper may appear uniform from a distance, up close, you can clearly see the unique textures of each leather, each developing its own distinct patina over time. Additionally, in homage to the Irish Setter, the model’s foundation, Engineered Garments have used the original Irish Setter label on the main tag, and even the shoebox is designed in the original Irish Setter style.
This collaboration blends a retro, classic model with EG’s modern touch, resulting in a truly special project that reimagines the past for today’s era.
The roots of Irish Setter go back a long way. In the 1920s, the Red Wing Shoe Company introduced “Outing Boots” — strapping 18 inch high boots that were the first styles specifically designed for hunters. Based in Red Wing, Minnesota, Irish Setter is a division of Red Wing Shoe Company which produces a full line of performance hunting boots and rugged outdoor work footwear. Designed by people who are passionate about working in the outdoors, Irish Setter continues to craft boots with leading technologies and the finest materials to offer premium-quality footwear.
