Sons of Henrey is a Belgian brand who copies Edward Green till the bone, and its loafer last is very similar to last 184 of Edward Green. Sons of Henrey gives name to each model, however to this pair of Penny loafer, it has none, so to call it conveniently, I name it Penny. Let us have a look at this rendition of Sons of Henrey for the most classic loafer.
Unboxing
Blue/navy shoebox cannot go wrong in classic menswear.
Last
I don’t own loafers from Edward Green and I feel 184 or this one is too sharp for me, loafers can host much rounder last.
Pattern
I don’t want plainly describe the pattern of this pair, but use dress shoe comparative studies to manifest how this pattern is formed.
When we talk about penny loafer, there are two iconic of iconic, one is Lopez from John Lobb and the other 180 from J.M.Weston.
The come two well received penny loafers, one is Piccadilly from Edward Green, the other 983 from Alden.
When we have all these reference, it is so clear how Sons of Henrey Penny was designed.
That is the hollow shape of John Lobb Lopez plus apron stitch of Alden 983.
Leather
The leather is from German tannery Weinheimer and the colour is called Chocolate. Weinheimer is famous for its box calf, but maybe only black ones, other colours are reported not very luxurious or reliable.
Outsole
Quite ordinary leather sole with closed channel.
Construction
Neat fudge and stitches, quite good execution.
Conclusion
If the leather quality is great after wears, then it is a worthy buy.
