Suede Tassel Loafer

Medium (D) Width Imported So Ivy, it hurts. Yalie and long-time J. Press customer, George Bush, once said Bill Clinton was supported by "every lawyer that ever wore a tasseled loafer." (nota bene: GHWB also wore them.) According to John Vinocur, the former executive editor of The International Herald Tribune, French politicos in the 1980s adopted them because "It helped them get tables in the better restaurants." The New York Times wrote, "in the 60's, when preppy style ran amok, many a tasseled loafer sat at the end of a leg covered with loud madras pants or...trousers with little embroidered whales." While we can't guarantee you'll get a better table, wearing these will give you membership in the honored, long line of madras and whale-sporting Ivy stylists. A note on returns: We will accept returns of shoes only in unworn condition. Soles must be free of scuffs and uppers from creases. For that reason, we strongly recommend trying them on while on carpet. Brand: J. Press Category: Loafer Color: Cognac Material: Suede Made in: USA View at retailer
