JACQUES POCHETTE TAN

Jacques Solovière styles generally run slightly large, as they are designed on Italian lasts. We recommend referring to our size guide for measurements or contacting us at info@soloparis.com for personalized advice.

This type of leather is not water-resistant, is prone to stain & water damage, and risks the possibility of discoloration. When exposed to rain, dry with a cloth as soon as possible. If severely soaked, put newsprint paper into the shoes to absorb water and prevent it from warping. Store in a cool dry place. High-temperature drying methods (i.e., a hair dryer) should never be used, which may cause the leather to harden, crack, or warp. Light stains can be cleaned with a dry cloth. We recommend you to use a cream.

PROPERTIES

Grained calf leather is valued for its textured surface, natural resistance to scratches, and soft, malleable structure.
Its visible grain gives each pair a unique character, while remaining supple and adaptable to the shape of the shoe. It is both durable and refined, ideal for everyday elegance.

CARE

Though more resistant to daily wear than smooth leather, grained calf is not water-repellent and can be sensitive to moisture and staining.
In case of rain exposure, gently pat dry with a soft cloth. If the leather becomes soaked, fill the shoes with paper (avoid printed newsprint) to absorb excess moisture and maintain shape. Let them dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use artificial heat sources such as hair dryers, which can cause the leather to harden or crack.

To maintain the leather’s suppleness and finish, use a neutral or color-matching cream polish. Apply with a soft cloth, allow to absorb, then buff gently.

We recommend using cedar shoe trees between wears to help maintain the shape and absorb residual humidity.
Store your shoes in their dust bags, in a dry, well-ventilated space.
