The Jodphur Italian Calfskin Boot in Black by Zelli Italia is our sleek, dressy strap-in boot — a refined take on the Chelsea silhouette featuring Italian smooth baby calfskin and nappa. The timeless Black colorway makes it the most versatile boot in the Jodphur range, equally at home with a sharp suit, tailored trousers, or your favourite dark denim. Dress it up or down — it always delivers.
Black is the ultimate wardrobe workhorse — the Black Jodphur pairs seamlessly with formal suits, business attire, smart-casual trousers, and dark denim alike. It’s the one boot that truly does it all, making it the ideal first Zelli Italia purchase.
Nappa is an exceptionally soft, full-grain leather known for its buttery texture and fine grain. Combined with Italian baby calfskin on the Jodphur upper, it creates a refined two-material finish that is both supple and durable.
The Jodphur is available in standard US men’s sizing from 8.5 to 13 in medium width. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. For sold-out sizes, call us at 817-737-9997 to place a back order.
Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the calfskin and nappa supple and prevent cracking. Polish with a matching black shoe cream to maintain the deep colour. Store with boot trees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
