Our Legacy Anthracite Suede Saddle Loafer

Apr 14, 2011


The folks at Our Legacy just put up one of my favorite Spring / Summer footwear pieces I've seen yet. On their site, they state the shoe is made in the UK using saddle construction; I'm not entirely sure what that means, but you can't stick a penny in 'em. Regardless, the leather sole is goodyear welted, the color (somewhere between "charcoal" and "slate") is gorgeous and unique, and they look damn good; which is what really counts. At first glance they reminded me of my navy suede Alden LHS, but perhaps to some purists' dismay, I actually prefer Our Legacy's take. The clean, uniform stitching throughout and balanced strap proportions form a simple silhouette that really can't be beat. I probably wouldn't wear these with a wool suit, at least not a grey one, but with a well-worn pair of denim or colored chinos, these could really shine.

Bro, seriously. You don't know shit about style/fashion. I don't even understand why you're trying to blog about it. Nobody likes you. Just give up.

I'm pretty sure that these are designed by Mcnairy for OL, as they look exactly like these http://www.bonobos.com/store/item/mcnairy_penny_loafer_snuff_suede
