It was known in the trade as a 'closed tab shoe' because the eyelet tabs (the sections of leather with holes for the laces) were stitched under the front section of the shoe, or vamp,  rather than on top of it.  Shoes where the eyelet tabs were stitched on top of the vamp were known as 'open-tab' shoes and this was the case for 'Derby', 'Blucher' and 'Gibson' styles.\r\n\r\nUsually Oxfords were made up in plain black or brown leather for everyday wear.  British men's footwear fashions were conservative during the 1930s with strict rules dictating what shoe could be worn with which outfit.  Brown shoes with a dinner suit were frowned upon and any kind of flamboyance was considered distasteful.  These elegant two-tone shoes would have been considered somewhat daring compared to more traditional single colour styles.","physicalDescription":"Pair of men's shoes of polished tan brown leather and white suede. Oxford shoes with brown strap laces through six pairs of lace-up holes. Fashioned with narrow pointed toes with brown leather toe-cap and a tan bar over white uppers, tan tabs and tongue and tan heels. The insides are of canvas and leather with a leather insole and lining. Vamp, facing and backstrap, white suede strip between toe-cap and vamp, and white suede quarter. White stitching and brown leather sole wheeled on upper rim.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Saxone Shoe Company","id":"A19483"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"suede","id":"AAT193368"},{"text":"leather","id":"AAT11845"},{"text":"canvas","id":"AAT14078"}],"techniques":[{"text":"stitched","id":"AAT53660"},{"text":"tooled","id":"AAT53876"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Stitched and tooled leather and suede, and canvas insides","categories":[{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Footwear","id":"THES48951"},{"text":"Men's clothes","id":"THES49043"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"},{"text":"Scotland","id":"THES262877"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2014HE2484","2006AW2435","2014HE2488"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES325899"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""},{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES325899"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Shoe","id":""}],[{"text":"Shoe","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""},{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1935","earliest":"1930-01-01","latest":"1939-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Martin Chapman","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"30.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx.","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"9.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx.","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"10.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"approx.","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Shoe size 9","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'SAXONE / made in Scotland' [with the lion rampant]","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Stamped in gold in the heel"},{"content":"'855 62 D3048 1495/6'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Stamped along the upper edge of each shoe"}],"objectHistory":"Registered File number 1983/2143.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Pair of men's shoes of leather and suede with laces, made by Saxone Shoe Company, England, ca. 1935","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Swann, June. <u>Shoes</u>.
