Unlined Penny Loafer, Dark Brown, Rufer Last

The Unlined Penny Loafer in Dark Brown by Bridlen Shoemakers combines casual sophistication with artisanal craftsmanship. Designed on the Rufer Last, this loafer is crafted from Janus calf reverse suede by C.F. Stead, known for its velvety texture and exceptional durability. Unlike traditional loafers, this model is unlined, offering a lightweight and breathable feel, perfect for warm-weather wear or extended comfort. A 5 mm flexible insole, made from channeled vegetable-tanned leather, provides a sturdy yet comfortable foundation. The closed channeled ING flex Italian leather outsole, crafted using traditional slow chestnut pit tanning methods in Tuscany, ensures remarkable durability and a sleek finish. Constructed with a 360° channeled welted Goodyear design, this loafer represents unparalleled quality and versatility, making it ideal for both casual and semi-formal settings.
