A lot of you have made requests for the rolled welt on our Hutton Playtime to be offered in a darker colour.
You asked, we listened.
Presenting the Playtime by Hutton with a twist, this time with a welt in dark brown:
Some smart folks on social media have already noticed the colour difference in the pictures we've been sharing.
While it may look a little grey in some pictures, we can assure you the colour is dark brown - but sometimes the overcast weather we've been getting has drowned out the warm tones of the brown.
Why such a dark colour & not a lighter brown that matches the English Tobacco?
We've seen a few people ask this, and the answer is simple, though twofold:
- With age, the colour of the welt should scuff nicely, in the same way the crepe 'foxing' around the soles gets nice and 'fluffy' with wear.
- The colour of the blonde crepe becomes a dark brown over time as well, as you can see in a lot of the pictures we share on social media of worn-in Playtime chukkas.
Here's an example of only a few months wear:
And here's what the soles look like up close out of box versus after 7 months wear:
We're all about making sure your boots look the best they can as they age, not simply out of box.
