The Jordaan loafer is one of the best examples of a simple and classic loafer and is one of my more comfortable loafers hands down. More comfortable than their 1953 loafer.
I like he special effort you guys make not to overtalk each other, but instead you compliment each other. Very pleasant to listen to. My favourite is the tasseled loafer.
I actually prefer the chain on the Tom Ford drivers to horsebits or even tassles. I find the chains to be very subtle while still managing to be a statement piece, if that makes sense.
I have had tassel loafers up to 2014 and then moved over to penny loafers by LL Bean, but last month needed to replace them and purchased two pairs of Randolph penny loafers manufactured by Allen Edmonds with a Goodyear welt which will last for many years. I do like the look at penny loafers but early in my mid 20, 's preferred tassels with them. I wear no-show socks to protect the leather from the sweat of my feet during the day.
Tassel and the penny (not the grandpa ones tho. Sorry Blake) are the most versatile, but I can't get enough of that kiltie loafer. The Santoni Genaro 5 is my dream loafer. And George...that suit is fire
Haii Blake does that suit really fit you well? Like when you were sitting, the suit felt so baggy from the back side and it was like it would cover your head from the back if it got any worse, while Gorge did not have that problem. How do we make sure that thing doesn't happen to us?
Love how you said, "once you turn 35..." So true. One thing though, drivers are indeed perfect for driving, particularly for performance cars and you wear a size 12 shoe. Problem is though, when you're also 6"4' changing shoes in your Lambo, well it's less than, let's say, stylish. Particularly when you're trying to stay cool...🤗
Haha your extra shoes won't even fit in your trunk! I think back in the day the pedals were made of metal and didn't have as much grip as they do these days so the tread on the driver was necessary.
Gent's Lounge 😂😂😂 Many many 😣years ago, 1988, I was in Italy where I visited the Ferrari dealer in Florence. I was 18 so couldn't afford one but had just bought a Alfa GTV6 so of course interested... The gentleman who served me, who looked remarkably like Giancarlo Giannini, after I made a remark about how small the boot was, said to me... With a car like this, all a man needs in the boot is a pair of brogues, a bottle of champagne and a condom. Everything else will take care of itself...
Yes, my favourite shoes of them all! Haven't tried goodyear welted ones before but hand sewn ones and cemented ones have served me quite well, without being too uncomfortable but I guess it's something to try in the future. Also which style do you guys prefer, the shoes with shorter tongues or longer tongues?
I am truly a loafer lover tasseled is my fav tho. Horsebit, kiltie, tassel/kiltie, buckle and penny. I have one pair of drivers I gave the rest away. For some reason I got turned off with drivers last summer...and yes I'd rock that wingtip brogue kiltie/strap joint yes I would!
Gent's Lounge nice! Because it’s always so confusing to pair shoes and trousers! Especially do you have any advice regarding pairing suit trousers with shirts instead of t shirts?
Dear Blake and George, Your first video I came across was few years ago and it was about winter boots. At that point I realized that what sets you apart from the other style bloggers here. You show us how we can experiment being in the safe zone when it comes to men's fashion. There is always a modern element in your style and I love the idea that you are not scared of braking any so called "rules". As like other videos, I really enjoyed this. But, I have one question :-) Specially when you look at suede loafers, suede Monk strap, there are so many colors and option. To dress them up, lets says we play safe and stick to navy or grey suede loafer or monk strap. But, I always wonder what kind of belt should I wear? I can buy for example a suede navy dress belt, but the idea of a dark grey suit with nay loafer and navy belt does not click to me. Could you please share your thoughts ? Many thanks in advance!
With blue or navy suede we like a lighter brown belt to give a little contrast. You could try to match with a grey or blue leather belt but you have to get the exact shade or else it just looks kind of off. And a brown belt will go with way more stuff so you’re not just wearing a specific belt with your shoes.
Nice Video not much of a loafer guy but you have me thinking .Buy the way may I ask you Blake about your suit is it a brand or bespoke looks great. cheers gents.
Wow, there is a lot of tension between both of you guys. A passive-aggressive thing I can tell, just put on mute the video and you will see lol. Cheers!
No penny loafers at an interview Allen Edmonds is always running a sale Lace up dress shoe always an interview as you don’t have the job yet. Can’t do tassel always feel like an old guy wearing them. Doing to much on the second to last shoe
@@gentslounge haha normally i am more of a fan of blake's dressed up looks, but recently George, you look sharper! haha! i like his tie in this video, it's nice!
Most of the time I'd agree with you. But on camera with proper posture you can leave the suit buttoned if it doesn't pull too much. Some news anchors even have their buttons placed higher so they can sit with their jackets buttoned. Appreciate the comment! -G
Ali Truth hurts, doesn’t it? Did my comment strike a little too close to home? You probably save wearing socks for your Birkenstocks. It’s OK, dude. We know.
