I've been meaning to get hold of a pair of these Cheaney x Cherchbi Herdwyck tweed brogues for weeks. The chance came recently when I borrowed a pair for a photoshoot. Cheaney manufacture in Desborough, Northamptonshire and the Avon is a classic country brogue available with leather or rubber soles. This version includes tweed made by Cherchbi from my favourite sheep, the hardy Herdwick of the English Lake District.
Adam Atkinson uses the wool of the Herdwick for his Cherchbi bag collection and here it's used for this stylish shoe collaboration with Cheaney. I tried them briefly for the photoshoot but wasn't able to walk any distance in them as they had to be returned in as new condition. However, the waterproof tweed was comfortable and flexible.
