Monk Facts

The Chelsea is a five-eyelet straight-cap oxford. It is without doubt Edward Green’s quintessential oxford shoe, embodying the understated elegance that sets the company apart. It is a classic, simple straight-cap oxford and it is precisely this simplicity that gives the Chelsea such versatility. Perfect for even the most formal of occasions, it looks equally good with jeans, chinos or cords. The Chelsea is crafted on Edward Green’s 202 last, their classic English round-toed design. With its soft, smooth curves, the 202 exemplifies the shapely form of the traditional English Oxford. With its finely bevelled waist and exquisite swans-neck stitching at the throat, the Chelsea is the paragon of straight-cap oxfords. Established in a small Northampton factory in 1890, Edward Green has gained a deserved reputation for ‘making the finest shoes in England for the discerning few’. Edward Green’s shoes are made with the finest calfskin to the highest standards of workmanship. Each pair takes several weeks to create and many master craftsmen are involved.
