Product details
Why choose the brown Hampton?
Hampton is a sleek penny loafer which exudes charm and grace. Easy to slip on, it is an effortless shoe to wear, and with its chiselled toe and clean, uncomplicated lines, it is a great all-round choice, as suited to a work environment as it is to the beach.
Brown is a staple option in this style and worn with a suit, can look smart and businesslike, while still feeling uncomplicated and relaxed.
Looks good with...
Gone are the days when a traditional lace-up shoe was required in the workplace. Our Hampton penny loafer is hugely versatile and can be worn as easily with socks and a smart suit, as it can sockless with chinos or shorts.
Dress this brown option with tailored trousers and jacket, and bring a relaxed professionalism to your working day.
Stitched leather sole and stacked leather heel
The sole is stitched onto the upper using a traditional and refined Italian method called Blake stitching. This allows the sole to be easily replaced when it eventually wears but we've used a rubber insert as well, to aid longevity and grip.
There is a 25mm genuine-leather stacked heel, with 6 brass pins and a rubber piece, again for longer wear and better grip. There is also a ‘gentleman’s corner’, a small bevel that reduces snagging of the heel on your trousers. We've even added an embossed Thomas Bird logo in the waist of the sole too, a distinctive feature of our brand.
Materials and craftsmanship
We work with the finest Italian artisan shoemakers who showcase their expertise in cutting, shaping, stitching and dying leathers, skilled crafts that have been handed down through the generations.
With attention to detail being paramount, leathers are carefully selected by weight and pliability and cut to form the pattern to fit the last. Then several stages of dying, polishing and burnishing create the depth and richness of the unique brown colour.
Italian made
Italy is renowned for the quality and style innovation of its beautiful leathers and components used in the shoemaking process.
It has a strong and well-deserved reputation as the home of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail and we want nothing less for our Thomas Bird collection.
