Inspired by a 1934 Australian Army model, the Brooke has rediscovered a piece of Australian history that saw service in Tobruk and Kokoda and personifies the durability we have used as the guide in the design process.
The Brooke needed to stand the test of time, and endure many-an-adventure. The Goodyear welt method requires skill and time to construct but ensures the Brooke won't fall apart and can be resoled again and again.
We wanted leather that would fair well over time. An exquisite, but equally hard-wearing, calfskin leather was selected from a renowned French tannery, which will develop a fine patina as it ages.
