Henley
Tassel Loafer Tan

Full grain calf leather

This is our Henley tassel loafer. This pair is in a beautiful, hand finished tan patina. We also have them in other colours - oxblood, chestnut, blue and black. They are all hand crafted in Italy, using the finest materials such as full grain calf leather. The chestnut patina has been applied by hand, making every pair unique with subtle variations in colour. You can see a darker line from the toe to the top line.

Craftsmanship/attention to detail

The top line is neat, no raw edges, as we taper or ‘skyve’ the edge, then fold and stitch it. Also more comfortable if you’re not wearing socks. Inside the heel, we use suede in the rear counter to stop your heel from slipping. The loafer has a full calf leather lining. This helps absorb moisture and prolong the life of the shoe. And we use a genuine full leather insole.

Stitched leather sole

The sole is stitched onto the upper with a traditional Italian method called blake stitching. This is in-channel, lock stitching, so even if one stitch was worn or breaks the others will still be locked in place. There is a rubber insert for added wear and better grip.

Stacked leather heel

There is a 25mm leather stacked, heel, held with 4 brass pins, and a rubber piece for better wear and grip. There is a ‘gentleman’s corner’, a small bevel to reduce snagging of the heel on your trousers. So that is our oxblood tassel loafer, a beautifully made high quality shoe, that with care should give you many years of enjoyment.
