The latest rework of our classic Adrian Snaffle loafer uses rugged Repello Calf suede from C. F. Stead — debossed with a subtle and subversive python pattern. The loafer is detailed with antique gold trim and a removable tannery swing tag. We’ve built the silhouette on our unmistakable grooved outsole, reinforced with our signature yellow welt stitching.

- Repello Calf is a rugged fine-grade suede treated with Scotch Guard finish for enhanced protection against water and other stains — from the first wear to the last

- Construction – Made with a Goodyear-welted lines that are heat-sealed at 700˚C and reinforced with our signature welt stitch

Ignatz –
First pair of DM’s and my first pair of loafers since around 1980, couldn’t be more pleased. Bought them for work as I now walk a lot of miles, nothing to say that you shouldn’t look your best at the same time ! I did feel like I could have done with a half size, but didn’t seem to be available in this shoe. Hopefully these will see me in good stead for a good few years as long as they are looked after.
