Weston
On the subject of loafers, theirs are quite lush. Very un-American in their look, I think. The worse I have seen recently (generally speaking) are dinky little basket tassells - worn by a plump little middle-aged woman on a train. Weston are rather expensive, of course - I bought mine from a Belgian chappie on Ebay.

Re: Weston
the only proper ones are the #180
the old man who started the company went to the USA in 1926 and came home and designed the #180, several decades of french have since worn them, quality is solid, that's good enough for me as i am not obsessed with owning junk just because of a tenuous link with past glories (i.e. weejuns, alden, etc)

Re: Weston

Re: Weston
explain why you are parting company with them, bad fit? boredom? poor match with wardrobe? peer pressure? children on streetcorners laughing and pointing?

Re: Weston
Bad fit. Slight indifference. Poor match with wardrobe. The feeling that somebody else might enjoy them more than I.
