Comparative science is a form of scientific research. Brought to dress shoes, it can provide data and inspiration. For readers, there is also fun to be had, at least for me in the process of summarizing.
Each brand is likely to have more than one pair of penny loafers, but I’ll pick the most well-known and iconic ones.
Corthay
Corthay’s most well-known style, or series, is Arca. when it comes to loafer, there are good-looking styles, but none of them is very well known.
I looked through the official website and found this model.
The name is unintelligible, the characteristic of the strip is a rectangle.
John Lobb
Needless to say, it must be Lopez.
Chubby oval matches the fat last.
Berluti
Andy, again, goes without saying.
A long and narrow strip with rounded ends.
Edward Green
Piccadilly beats Duke to become the brand representative.
Willow shape, very thoughtful.
Gaziano & Girling
Gaziano & Girling has quite a few models of penny loafers, and I even excluded the unorthodox ones like Antibes. Then the most well-known model should be Monaco.
like the eyes of a mask, or wings.
Aubercy
Not many know about its models, but I’m pretty sure that the most well-known penny loafer is Lupin.
Aubercy directly calls it mask loafer. Is face too long?
Mattina
Loafer models are not as popular as its oxfords and I hardly hear people talk and show this one.
The vacant imitates Gaziano & Girling’s Monaco.
The bestselling loafer from Mattina is this one:
The hollow area is not hollowed out and achieved by stitching! Isn’t this great ！！！！！
Sons of Henrey
There is only one pair of penny loafer offered by Sons of Henrey, and the name is Penny.
Middle route, longer than John Lobb Lopez, and shorter than Berluti Andy.
Carmina
There are really too many models and each has a long numerical designation, I really cannot choose out.
J.FitzPatrick
Penny loafer is too ordinary for this design-oriented brand.
Crockett & Jones
Crockett & Jones has a lot of penny loafers, but the top three must be Boston, Sydney and Harvard. officially, the most popular is Sydney.
Flattened small triangles.
TLB
The main line has a penny loafers called Martin, Artista line has a model called 117, and 117 is more popular.
No need to explain who is copied, Again, Gaziano & Girling Monaco.
Oct Tenth
On one hand it is a MTO brand, on the other hand, no iconic penny loafer model.
Meermin
Same problem as Carmina, but I got the official sales data and the most popular penny loafer style is 114414.
Half willow leaf.
Vass
Vass offers loafers, but I’ve never seen anyone wear it. I went to the official website and found several, sadly none is impressive.
Cheaney
Like Crockett & Jones, there are very many penny loafers. But Crockett & Jones have recognized iconic models while Cheaney is silent.
Carlos Santos
Core loafer model is 9176, named Elliot.
Once again Gaziano & Girling Monaco is copied.
Summary
This area is a very good part for creation in classic men’s dress shoes, because even if you play out of bounds, the shoes won’t go wrong. This kind of subtle differences are where the high-end players care.
Gaziano & Girling’s influence is enormous!
