The Whittier oxford is a design straight from the mind of Mr. FitzPatrick: The hand-stitched apron detail and false heel counter create a one-of-a-kind pattern on what is, underneath it all, a classic wholecut oxford. The resulting model has proven an enduring favorite among J.FitzPatrick staff and customers alike, and for the first time is available for purchase with a hand-dyed patina by artist Hancore.

The Dark Antique Brown patina was first created by Hancore in response a client's custom request, and it is now available for the first time as a GMTO. This brown-base patina, which fades into a near-black, hearkens back to the original meaning of the word "patina": "The coloring which appears gradually on a surface, as a result of age or long use."
