Escape Boot

U.S. Tea-Core Bullhide — Black

The same Escape silhouette — unstructured toe, seven eyelets, Dr. Sole Raw Cord underfoot — rendered in U.S. tea-core bullhide. Where the brown roughout version accumulates character visibly on its surface, this one does it through depth: tea-core tanning builds color from within, so the black pulls richer and more complex as it ages rather than simply darker. A boot that reads formal from ten feet and reveals its provenance up close.

Upper Material

U.S. Tea-Core Bullhide — Black, Full-Grain

Bullhide is cut from mature male cattle — a hide with greater fiber density, tighter grain, and more consistent thickness than standard cowhide. The tea-core process saturates the hide with tannins from the inside outward before surface dyeing, building a color foundation that penetrates the full cross-section of the leather rather than sitting as a surface coat. The result on this black: a depth of color that does not fade at flex points, does not crack at the toe box, and develops a burnished, uneven sheen with wear rather than a flat polish. The U.S. sourcing reflects a hide raised and processed under consistent feed and tanning standards — traceability from pasture to last.

Outsole

Dr. Sole #1122 Raw Cord — Full Sole, Black

The #1122 full sole runs heel to toe as a single unit, with the cord tread pattern providing directional grip without aggressive lugging. On this all-black build, the outsole reads as a seamless continuation of the upper — the natural leather midsole at the welt line is the only tonal break, a thin band of tan that anchors the boot visually and signals the quality of what sits above it.

Hardware Detail

⚜️

Seven Flat Eyelets — Dark Oxidized Finish

Seven dark eyelets run a clean, uninterrupted lacing column from throat to shaft — tonal against the black bullhide, present but unannounced. No speed hooks, no mixed hardware. The eyelet count is deliberate: sufficient rows to hold the shaft securely against the ankle, minimal enough to lace in one pull. In an all-black boot, hardware that disappears is hardware that works.
