Handsewn Penny Loafer Chocolate Wild Boar Leather
From Norwegian day-laborers to preppy college kids, the quintessential penny loafer has come a long way... while mostly remaining exactly the same. It's become an American classic, and true to form, it's one of the easiest shoes in the world to wear — not too fashion-y, not too fussy, and it'll probably look great with 75% of your closet. Ours is handsewn in Portugal — in fact, one hour of hand-stitching goes into each pair — with moccasin construction and a slightly higher vamp for an especially comfortable fit. This one in particular is made from a very special skin — wild boar leather — with some natural, beautiful irregularity and scarring on the surface. Possibly the earthiest exotic out there. It has the same casual ease as suede, but a touch more special.

Why we love it
- made in portugal
- made by hand
- quietly special
"These loafers are made from wild boar skin. I love it because it’s the earthiest of exotics, and visually pretty subtle. Less aggressive than sharkskin, although perhaps not in real life. Cinghiale are pretty ferocious in the wild. But in a pair of loafers, the hide is quietly chic."
