The long wing is what separates this from every other brogue in the range. On an ordinary wingcap the wing sweeps back from the toe and stops partway along the shoe. On the Oliver it keeps going, running the full length of the quarters to meet at the heel seam, so the brogueing describes an unbroken line around the whole shoe. It is a bolder pattern than the wingcap and reads as more of a decision.
In burgundy it is bolder still. The colour shifts with the light, red-brown by day and near-black under artificial lighting, and the punched detail along that long wing catches the difference. It is a shoe for people who are comfortable being looked at, and it works far better with grey flannel, denim and cord than with formal tailoring.
The R in the name is Cheaney's sole code for their studded rubber sole, a hardwearing tread that does not hold soil and cleans up easily. Goodyear welted and leather lined, made at Cheaney's Northamptonshire factory, where the company has been making shoes since 1886.
