When it comes to leather shoes that are perfect for summer, penny loafers are the way to go. They pair well with shorts made of chino, denim, or seersucker, and really elevate a summer casual look.
If you flip through the pages of the classic fashion bible *TAKE IVY*, you’ll see just how well these timeless styles complement each other.
However, when it comes to loafers, one thing that concerns me is how comfortable they are. I’ve heard a few stories here and there about how they take a while to break in…
Crockett & Jones has released a new product that addresses that very issue.
This is the “HARVARD 2,” an unlined (single-piece leather) version that builds on our classic “HARVARD” loafer.
HARVARD 2
¥143,000
For the upper, we’ve chosen mild calf leather, which is supple and highly flexible. By using a drum-tanning process to bring out the leather’s natural suppleness, the shoes mold to your feet right from the start and require no breaking-in period. As for how they feel, they’re as soft as you can see here.
Designed to complement this is the rubber “City Sole.” It’s so soft you can bend it with your hands, and it offers excellent traction.
Made using the same Last 376 as Crockett & Jones’ classic “BOSTON 2,” this new model combines the refined look characteristic of British shoes with exceptional comfort.
The lineup includes Black, Dark Brown, Walnut, and Chestnut.
