The Sigotto Uomo 5975 is a men's slip-on dress shoe in soft black leather with a subtle plaid texture, finished with a gold-tone metal B logo and set on a genuine leather sole.

Craftsmanship
Sigotto Uomo handcrafts its whole collection in Istanbul, and the 5975 is hand-stitched. The soft black leather carries a subtle plaid texture that only shows itself the closer you look. The upper keeps a sharp, structured shape while staying flexible from the first wear, so there is no stiff break-in period. A genuine leather sole gives the shoe the substance and step of a true dress shoe rather than a casual slip-on. A gold-tone metal B logo adds a refined finishing touch without becoming ornamental. Inside, a full leather lining and a cushioned leather insole keep it comfortable through long office days. As with all natural leather, small variations in grain are part of the material's character.
Heritage
The slip-on dress shoe grew out of the loafer as men looked for a shoe that was easy to wear but formal enough for tailoring. The leather sole kept it in dress-shoe territory, and a small metal ornament on the vamp became a common finishing touch. The 5975 follows that tradition and adds a plaid texture that rewards a closer look.
Styling
The 5975 is a dress shoe that holds up under scrutiny. Wear it with a black, charcoal or navy suit for the office or formal events, or with gray trousers and a dark blazer for business dinners. The all-black finish keeps it versatile, and the texture gives it quiet character. Pair it with fine socks in black or charcoal.
