I love loafers. I have a few. From gucci to Allen edmonds to santoni and bally.
No Alden? Crocket and Jones? Edward Green?
Why make in US I can make them in Bangladesh if given the full specification at fraction of price
Grant Stone are 100X better than Oak Street.
I didn’t like loafers until this 2 months ago. I’ve collected 14 pairs of GS’s. Mostly boots but I have the midnight suede Traveler’s and the espresso suede Horsebit Loafer. I like them a lot. The first Travelers were uncomfortable in the instep but the HB loafers fit perfectly. A little on the looser side but still fit well with a tongue pad. I wear my loafers with N&F Sakura selvedge denim jeans.
