Richelieu brogue en cuir avec perforations

The Rowan leather brogue Oxfords offer a more textured alternative to the plain dress shoe, while still being easier to pair than a two-tone model. Their leather upper, decorative perforations, and tapered toe add depth to the shoe without distracting from the rest of the outfit. The model thus integrates just as well with a suit as with wool trousers, smart chinos, or a more classic ceremonial silhouette.

The upper is made of cowhide leather. The supplier also indicates a cowhide leather lining, a cowhide leather insole, and a rubber outsole. The construction is announced as stitched and the closure is by laces. The low heel, less than 3 cm, maintains a close-to-the-ground line, while the tapered toe reinforces the formal character. The supplier mentions a wear-resistant function, but since no specific duration or standard is provided, IVAREE makes no quantified promises.

Rowan responds to searches like leather brogue Oxfords, perforated dress shoes, black lace-up Oxfords, or brown brogue shoes. Black remains the most formal choice and combines easily with a grey, navy, or black suit. Brown brings more depth to beige, camel, navy tones, or textured mid-season materials. The perforations distinguish the pair from a plain Oxford without giving it an overly ostentatious appearance.

The supplier recommends this model for spring and autumn. For care, regularly remove dust with a soft brush or clean cloth, gently insisting around the perforations. Then apply a suitable smooth leather care product. Avoid immersion and allow to dry naturally if the pair has gotten wet. Shoe trees can be used after wear to help preserve the shape.
