New York–based Aimé Leon Dore releases a shirt from the SS26 lineup imprinted with batik patterns labeled as “Printed Abstract Shirt.” Priced at IDR 3.9M and made in India.

If you plan on wearing the loafers with tailoring, then Edward Green's Piccadilly (slide one). It has a beautiful shape — not too aggressive in terms of styling, but just the right amount of sleekness for a tailored jacket. Can be made unlined or lined, on a single leather sole or the company's R1 rubber sole. I prefer the company's more neutral browns, such as the espresso brown pictured in slide one, rather than warmer "mink" suede, which will clash with the cool tones that typically dominate a tailored wardrobe. If you mean a penny loafer you can wear with casualwear, then Alden's Leisure Handsewn in suede (slide two). Can be worn with jeans or chinos. If your style leans very trad, then tailored trousers, as well. The rounder shape here will feel more at home with jeans and fatigues. Or chinos, if you're a chino guy. If you want something to wear with more contemporary outfits, then JM Weston's 180 (slide three). They look great with jeans or tailored trousers, a tailored jacket or tweed topcoat. The high side walls are very distinctive. JM Weston's sizing system can be very confusing, so it's best to order in a store where a sales person can fit you. Unfortunately, the company shuttered their only US location (in NYC) a few years ago, so best purchased in Paris. Finally, you can also go bespoke. At the moment, I currently like Seiji McCarthy, who made the first pair of shoes in slide four. Since these are bespoke, they can made from almost any leather you choose (including suede). Seiji has different tiers of bespoke and made-to-measure with differing levels of handwork, depending on your budget and preference. The round toe loafer in slide four is one of his newer loafer models. It's good if you want something that feels like "elevated Alden." I also like Nicholas Templeman, who made the second pair of shoes in slide four. Having worked as a lastmaker at John Lobb (of St. James Street in London, not the Hermes' owned ready-to-wear operation in Paris) for seven years, he carves all of his lasts from rough turns (a large block of wood). This means he's not limited in terms of shape. He can effectively produce any style you wish, such as the John Lobb Lopez inspired loafers pictured below. I think Nicholas has a great eye and can execute a great pair of shoes in the West End tradition.
