I have a pair of the lower cut version offered by BB/Alden.  I do like them for a change of pace but it took awhile getting used to the lower cut.  They would probably be third for my behind tassels and then regular penny loafers.

^ And yet a Brooksian fave rave along with the uber-Anglo Alden tassel which dominated the old Brooks catalogues of the 80's - The LHS was there too, but NOT as such a big deal.

Alden's tribute to London:  http://www.aldenshop.com/DrawOneShoe.asp?CategoryID=51   - A Brooksian fave because it was SO Anglo & that's what they loved. There is nothing remotely 'American' in style about this shoe apart from it being in Cordo, which would be rare in the UK.

Harvie & Hudson is a Jermyn Street Street outfitter. Originally a shirtmaker they now sell all kinds of items. It's deeply conservative but not in a particularly good way. Clothes intended for minor captains of industry but in reality worn by aging estate agents and chartered surveyors. Pale yellow socks are big there.
