U.S.N. Service Shoes - Black Horsehide Buttock

While black service shoes were worn as part of formal attire for official Navy events and ceremonies, they were also frequently used for daily wear.
This is a reproduction of a 1940s model featuring a T-shaped backstay. The six-eyelet configuration is a detail rarely seen during that era. It is crafted using "buttock" leather—a premium horsehide prized for its exceptional luster and durability.
