Article no. 14498 - Tassel Loafer in Black Calf Leather The tassel loafer men's shoe is the sartorial cousin of the classic penny loafer, and was first introduced in the USA in the 1950s and 1960s. A popular casual footwear choice for sartorial gentlemen around the world, the tassel loafer is perfect for summer time or year-round in warmer climates, and can be paired easily with chinos, denim jeans or even bermuda shorts. Aside from the obvious presence of leather tassels instead of a strap across the tongue, another distinct difference between the tassel loafer and the penny loafer is the shorter vamp and tongue of the tassel loafer compared to that of the penny loafer.
