The Description
Discover timeless style and exceptional craftsmanship with our ‘Imperial’ Suede Loafers – a premium footwear choice for the discerning gentleman. Expertly handcrafted in our high-grade factory in England, these loafers reflect the finest traditions of British shoemaking. Designed and engineered in Kettering, Northamptonshire, the heartland of English shoe production, each pair embodies meticulous attention to detail and quality.
The ‘Imperial’ loafer is constructed using luxurious suede for a soft, refined finish that adds sophistication to any outfit. Built on the classic ‘College’ last shape, it offers a sleek yet comfortable silhouette ideal for both smart-casual and formal occasions. The shoe is offered in a ‘G’ fitting, providing a slightly wider fit for enhanced comfort throughout the day.
What truly sets the ‘Imperial’ apart is its Goodyear welted rubber sole – a hallmark of durability and premium craftsmanship. This traditional construction method not only ensures long-lasting wear but also allows for resoling, making these shoes a smart investment. The rubber sole adds superior grip and practicality without compromising on style.
Whether you’re dressing for the office or an elegant evening out, the ‘Imperial’ Suede Loafer offers enduring quality, classic design, and exceptional comfort, making it an essential addition to your wardrobe.
We recommend using a shoehorn to help maintain the shape, prevent creasing of the heel, and allow the foot to glide in with ease – keeping your shoes looking their best and feeling comfortable from the first wear.

College
Loafer last shape, designed for use with slip on styles. The College last has a standard length toe, with a pointed round toe shape. This last generally runs true to size, although it is designed to fit snugly as befits a loafer style.
