Brown is the version of the Cameron you buy to wear rather than to admire. Where the acorn shows every scuff and every missed polish, the darker brown absorbs them, so this is the pair that survives a commute, a site visit and a long walk home without needing attention on Sunday night. It also sits closer to the tone of a mid-grey or navy trouser, which widens where it can be worn.
The model underneath is NPS's four-eyelet Gibson, an open-laced derby. Because the facings sit on top of the vamp the shoe opens right out, which suits a higher instep or a foot that swells through the day far better than a closed-laced Oxford does. Four eyelets keep the throat low and the look casual.
It is built on NPS's 10885 last in an F fitting, fully leather lined, and Goodyear welted, which is the reason a shoe like this is worth resoling in five years rather than throwing away. The maker is NPS of Wollaston, Northamptonshire, in business since 1881. The company began life as a workers' co-operative and remained one until it was bought out in 2006; it has been privately owned since. Solovair is made in the same factory.
