Ludlow suede tassel loafers

our new dress shoes are the perfect foundation for Ludlow suits, chinos or denim. We start with thick Italian leather insoles, a cork-bed filler that molds to your foot for a custom fit and a Goodyear welt, so you can resole them again and again. The calf suede in our shoes comes from C.F. Stead, a tannery in Leeds that's been perfecting its processes since the early 1900s, finding the perfect balance between rich color and durability. We used it to make our tassel loafer, a style that came to American college campuses in the midcentury, where it staked a claim at the perfect distance between casual and formal.
