Romano Martegani ‘Black Label’

Posted by Ron on February 13, 2008

(please note that these are quick pics taken after unpacking from a show….not final promotionals)

Available September 08 -

Casoli Handfinished to client specs

Sorano Handfinished to client specs

Altino Handfinished to client specs

Novara Handfinished to client specs

Tribiano Handfinished to client specs

Vernio Handfinished to client specs (pictured here unfinished)

Our new ‘Black Label’ line will be available at select stores in September 08. We have chosen some unique details for this line, including a very nice calf from Pelle e Pelle tannery in Italy which is delivered to us after only base finishing and we will finish/antique to order here in our workshop in Richmond, VA. The working plan now is to allow each individual client to choose his own final details, but we may also finish these in a special way for retail client orders. While the final handfinishing is the most noticable detail of this line, we have also chosen 2 unique lasts which are not available in our regular line (43 & 72) and have developed patterns that are classy, simple, and will allow the finishing aspects to really shine! Notice also the closer than typical sole trim on the 43 last samples and the rounded, undented midsole weltline on 72 last. This line will maintain our standard double sole + full perfed leather insole details which allow for a very solid feel and an easily re-solable shoe.
