1. J.M. Weston

The "180 Signature Loafer," synonymous with JM WESTON , is crafted in the Limoges, France factory using the Goodyear welt construction method and vegetable-tanned soles. With its iconic saddle resembling a seagull's silhouette, it is a quintessential penny loafer.

2. John Lobb

The "Lopez," a masterpiece from JOHN LOBB , often called the "King of Shoes," is a loafer that, while employing the Goodyear welt construction typical of British shoes, has a subdued welt, making it suitable for dressier attire as well.
The "4395" last, specifically designed for loafers, has a slightly short nose. The curve towards the arch of the foot provides excellent support, resulting in a comfortable fit.

3. Crockett & Jones

The classic tassel loafer, "CAVENDISH3," is a shoe where details such as the moccasin stitching and tassel size are just "right." It uses the "375" last, which provides a secure fit that suits Japanese feet.

4. Berwick

Berwick is a shoemaker based in Spain. Their designs, which blend classic British style with Italian and French flair, are very popular. This classic model from the brand uses calfskin from Dupuy, ensuring impeccable quality.

5. Ferrante

Based on Ferrante 's long-selling model, this Isetan-exclusive item features washed leather. With its semi-square, elongated toe and delicate form created using the Goodyear welt construction method, it's a truly elegant shoe.

6. Crockett & Jones

The "HARVARD 2" uses medium-colored cordovan leather. It's not only visually appealing but also easy to style.

7. Leyucca

These Isetan-exclusive bit loafers feature a moccasin stitching on the normally stitchless wholecut toe. This gives the shoe a defined shape, making it suitable for dressier occasions.
