The Bass Weejuns Larson Penny Loafer, first created in 1936 by G. H. Bass, is an evolution of the classic Norwegian farm shoe, designed for a sophisticated 'loafing' style. This essential smart shoe is perfect for pairing with tailoring. The Larson features the iconic penny loafer design with a distinctive leather strip across the saddle, complete with a shaped cutout. It boasts moc leather uppers, a regular width, an unlined interior, and a leather sole. Hand-stitched in El Salvador, these loafers are a timeless addition to any wardrobe. The polished leather upper is complemented by hand-stitched seams in tonal waxed thread, a slip-on design, and heel-to-heel welt stitching. Inside, you'll find a leather heel sock with gold foil branding and a natural polished leather sole with a black rubber top piece. This signature model ensures a staple in your footwear collection. Note: For longevity, consider adding a rubber sole protector from a cobbler and regular waxing to maintain the leather's condition. Avoid drying wet leather near direct heat sources to prevent cracking.
