Each pair of our nubuck leather classic horsebit loafers is skillfully crafted using traditional techniques. For greater level of sophistication we have crafted ours in rich Nubuck leather from Italy that captures the essence of the luxury of touch. Tanned on fine European hides averaging more than 50 square feet, the soft velvety hand and lavish tracking effect of this leather exude subtle sophistication and elegance and given them a full leather lining for added structure and support. Each pair is bottomed with our watertight leather outsole, it is oil treated for water and abrasion resistance. The signature snaffle bit hardware that gives this loafer it's name is made from nickel plated antique brass in Japan.

The horsebit loafer is another one of those timeless pairs of shoes that embodies the preppy or Ivy style of dress. One of the first styles of shoe to bridge the gap between dress and casual, some would say that you never wear these loafers with socks. They are best paired with dress slacks or chinos with a polo or oxford shirt.
