Henry Navy Suede Penny Loafer - 144

Navy suede is the loafer for the man who knows what he's doing. The Henry in navy suede takes a slot-vamp penny loafer in a soft, matte European suede — a deep, chalky blue with a nap that absorbs light rather than reflecting it — and sets it on the elongated, elegant 144 last. Colour and texture doing the work at once.

The suede upper is cut from European suede in a deep navy: the nap gives the colour a softness that calf can't replicate, and in navy it reads more like a fabric than a leather shoe. The effect is relaxed and precise at the same time — effortless in a way that takes material and proportion to pull off.

The 144 runs long and elegant with an almond toe, slightly tapered, and a low snug instep for a sleek line cut to favour the trouser break. The loafer silhouette on the most refined last in the range.

For the summer suit, the linen trousers, the cream chinos. Slip-on ease, navy and suede — two things that make almost any outfit better, in one shoe.
