The BATEAU: Handcrafted 1794 Series Cowhide Moccasins in Rocky Oil Tan | Men's
Description:
The River Workhorse: A Masterpiece of Rocky Oil Tan and Frontier Resilience
Forge a connection with the logistics of the early frontier with The Bateau. As a vital addition to our 1794 Series, this moccasin is named after the legendary flat-bottomed vessels that navigated the challenging waterways of the Great Lakes and the Southern Ontario wild. Designed for the man who values a deep, professional profile with an emphasis on rugged durability, The Bateau features a specialized two-piece "Canoe" construction. This dual-panel architecture mirrors the sturdy, functional hull of the boats that fueled the 1794 alliance, offering a sophisticated and grounded silhouette for the modern home.
The architecture of The Bateau (Style SH2479ROM) is defined by premium Canadian cowhide in a rich Rocky Oil Tan—a deep, dark brown finish selected for its substantial weight and natural weather-resistant qualities. The two-piece build is engineered to wrap comfortably around the foot, creating a flexible and low-profile fit that conforms to your unique stride. The interior is lined with our high-performance 1794 Series fleece—a specialized wool-acrylic blend designed for consistent thermal insulation and a soft, resilient feel that stands up to the rigours of daily wear, ensuring your feet remain shielded from the chill of the floor.
The highlight of The Bateau experience is the integrated functional tie system; these leather laces allow you to fine-tune the tension to your exact preference, creating a "set and forget" fit for effortless slip-on convenience. Crafted with the precision of a master artisan, this 1794 Series model features reinforced tonal stitching and a clean, bead-free finish. Grounded by a signature padded sole, The Bateau offers a stable and cushioned gait, allowing the dark, oily lustre of the leather and the integrity of the Canadian construction to stand as the ultimate mark of heritage luxury.

Our men's moccasins do not come in half sizes. If you wear a half size, we recommend ordering up to the nearest full size (e.g., if you wear 10½, order size 11). As these are handcrafted with natural materials, they will stretch slightly to contour to your feet over time. Visit our Size Guide in the footer menu for more tips.
