LAST NO. 365
Produced in May 2009. Last 365 is a Main Collection last, with a broad round toe. Our most generous fitting last in the collection, 365 has plenty of room in the forepart and heel, giving it a slightly asymmetric character that is perfect for high leg boots. In 2012, last 365 cemented itself into Crockett & Jones’s legacy, when Islay appeared in the Scottish Highlands during the final scenes of James Bond’s SKYFALL.
CHUKKA / DERBY BOOT
It is believed that a Chukka boot has both a sporting and a military heritage. A Chukka boot (or Desert boot) is constructed using three pieces of outer material – Inside Quarter, Outside Quarter and Vamp with low cut leg (but above the ankle) and two to three eyelets. In contrast, a Derby boot is a fully lined, high leg and all together, more substantial boot with variations similar to a Derby shoe. Chukka boots are usually considered unlined, although lined versions are available and they are often regarded as the most comfortable of all styles.
