Italian Tassel Loafer in Chocolate Suede

Our tassel loafers are handmade at a tiny, family-run factory in Italy, and they took a while to get right: just enough flop on the tassel (not too slick, not too loose) and an oak-bark-tanned leather sole that's durable yet flexible from day one. In suede, they're a little more casual than the smooth leather versions. Of course, they're still great with a suit, but we also like them with a pair of jeans for weekend knocking around. They're easy to wear, too — just slip them on and go. (Socks optional.)
