Fit Confidence

⊞

The front narrows into an elongated almond shape, giving the tassel loafer a more formal line than a round-toe casual loafer. Slip-on fit depends on the vamp and instep holding the foot securely.

How these brown tassel loafers fit

The shape is an elongated almond toe, which looks slim but leaves the toes room because the length runs past them. The loafer should grip at the heel and sit close over the instep without pressing. Order your usual US dress shoe size, 6 to 15 including half sizes. A little heel lift when new is normal and settles as the leather sole starts to flex; a heel that comes right out of the shoe means the size or width is wrong. Try them with the socks you plan to wear, because sock thickness changes how a loafer holds, and remember your dress shoe size is often different from your sneaker size. We make men's brown tassel loafers in every size from 6 to 15, including size 13, 14 and 15.

Embossed panels are a little firmer than plain leather when new and ease over the first few wears. For a broad foot choose E, EE or EEE and keep your length the same. The four widths are D (standard), E (wide), EE (extra wide) and EEE. Going up a size to gain width only makes a loafer slip at the heel, so choose your true length and the width that matches your foot. Wide width tassel loafers in brown are rarely stocked ready-made; here they are made to order.

Brown tassel loafers with croc-embossed panels

Croc-embossed leather can overwhelm a shoe when it covers the whole upper. Here it is used on the side panels and tongue only, and the toe is left in smoother cognac leather so the hand burnishing and the small medallion stay visible. The two leathers are cut and joined so the seams follow the line of the loafer. Joining an embossed leather to a plain one is the difficult part: the two have different thicknesses and stretch differently, so the edges are thinned and the seams placed where the shoe bends least. The pair of leather tassels on the vamp is the only other detail, and there is no metal anywhere on the shoe.

Cognac leather · Croc-embossed panels · Almond toe

The croc pattern is pressed into leather; it is not exotic skin, which keeps the pair easy to care for. Brown is the most useful colour in men's tassel loafers: it works with navy and grey tailoring, chinos and denim. This pair is hand-welted with the welt stitching visible along the sole edge, so it can be resoled. It also covers what most people want from men's dress loafers in brown: a cognac leather loafer for the office, a tassel loafer for a wedding or a summer suit, and handmade leather loafers made to order in your own size and width.

How do I care for these? +

Remove loose dust with a soft brush or clean cloth. Follow the care instructions for the specific leather and finish; suede, patent, patina and two-tone uppers may need different products. Test any suitable cleaner, cream or conditioner on an inconspicuous area first, and use separate clean applicators on contrasting colours. Condition only when the leather and finish need it, rather than on a fixed schedule. Let damp shoes dry naturally away from direct heat. Contact Handsole before attempting recolouring or using a treatment whose compatibility is uncertain.
