BEST LOAFERS FOR MEN?
If you’re looking for the best loafers for men, then look no further. Say hello to our exclusive collaboration with Crockett & Jones. Made on their 375 last with Crockett’s Superflex sole plus the leather and suede combo upper, it’s just the ticket. The Sonning loafer is our latest exclusive with Crockett & Jones made just for us here at Bowhill & Elliott.
HOW TO STYLE THE BEST LOAFERS
If there was awards for the best loafers for men, surely these loafers would be up there on the stage taking it home. Whether they are worn with denim, (seen here with a pair from Blackhorse Lane ) teamed with tailored shorts or styled with a suit, they are sure to elevate your summer wardrobe. Not your average pair of loafers, the Sonning is surely up there as one of the best loafers for men.
But why do we love it we hear you cry? Firstly the Superflex sole is crucial for starters and key to giving you more comfort and flexibility under foot. Perfect for walking those streets on a city break or pounding the pavements at home. Equally important is the suede and leather upper, ideal to wear all year round.
CROCKETT & JONES FOR BOWHILL & ELLIOTT
It all started with our MD’s apparent ‘need’ to have a pair in his personal collection, Marc had the opportunity to dive into the extensive archive at Crockett & Jones and ran with it. We’re proud we have something of a ‘special relationship’ between us here at Bowhill & Elliott and Northampton’s most famous footwear manufacturer, Crockett & Jones. But it’s thanks to you, our loyal customers who always embrace our collaborations, which of course gives us the excuse to experiment more.
Here at Bowhill & Elliott we love to have fun with our designs, hand embroidered velvet slippers with dancing skeleton anyone? Not just in our handmade slipper collection though, our collaborations are no different. The kiltie fringe detail takes reference from Scotland, echoing the pleats of the traditional kilt. We have always been big fans of the iconic ivy league style and we knew we wanted to bring this inspiration through in the Sonning. From days gone by this style of loafer had strong ties in the sporting world, particularly golf but fast forward to now and you can wear them anywhere from holidays to home. As a result they are a must-have for the gentleman who knows how to dress up or down in style.
Finally coming in at £595 they are a considered purchase, but we believe one that you will wear year after year. Because of the Goodyear welted sole, this allows for multiple refurbishments at the Crockett & Jones factory, a shoe you will have in your wardrobe for years. A factor we believe to be important and very much aligns with our ethos of ‘buying less, buying better’ and our sustainability ideals as a brand. Remember you will only find these loafers in-store and online, discover more here.
