Tassel Loafers | Summer Shoes<Crockett & Jones Cavendish Dark Brown Calf Suede

A classic tasseled loafer, the Cavendish is a stylish casual shoe. Typically worn without socks, it is the perfect summer shoe; however it is equally elegant and comfortable worn with woolen socks in the colder months. The tassel embellishment owes its beginnings to a debonair man-about-town named Paul Lukas. In the 1940s the penny loafer was at the height of its popularity and Lukas was looking for something different. Having recently been impressed by a pair of oxfords with tasseled laces, he approached his shoemaker and asked that tassels replace the strap of his penny loafer; thus the tasseled loafer was born. The Cavendish is crafted on Crockett & Jones’ 325 last, a classic English round-toed design. A sharp yet comfortable shoe, it can be dressed up or down with ease.
