The Alden x Brogue 1940 Service Shoe is built on the distinguished 379X last, a shape celebrated for its balanced proportions, supportive arch, and subtly robust profile. Constructed with a classic leather outsole paired with a durable rubber heel, this model stays true to the spirit of mid-century military footwear—functional, dependable, and designed to age with character.
Crafted in premium black calfskin, the shoe carries an understated elegance that allows the silhouette itself to shine. Its clean lines, minimal stitching, and period-correct details preserve the authentic look of the 1940s U.S. service shoe, bringing history into everyday wear. The simplicity is intentional—this is a shoe meant to be lived in, dressed up or down, and worn with confidence.
In styling, the 1940 Service Shoe integrates seamlessly into any heritage-inspired wardrobe. Whether paired with At Last & Co. trousers, chinos, denim, or their tailored pieces, the shoe offers a refined yet rugged foundation, enhancing both casual and formal vintage looks.
Adding to its appeal, this design was originally produced exclusively for Timeworn Clothing Company, making it a model long admired by collectors and enthusiasts. Its reintroduction through Brogue offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Alden’s collaborative history—an understated classic brought back for modern wearers who appreciate true craftsmanship.
