"I love these shoes , they put on a fight breaking them in but they are great"
The James is built on the W2298 last, our classic city profile that provides a close, tailored fit through the waist and heel. It is distinguished by a prominent hand-stitched apron and a unique split-toe seam, giving the loafer a refined, architectural character. The Burgundy Burnished leather adds a layer of depth, with the darker tones at the seams and toe-box highlighting the artisan craftsmanship involved in every pair.
Burgundy Burnished Leather: Artisan Depth Our burnished leathers are hand-finished to create a deep, lustrous patina that is unique to each pair.
-
Deep Tonal Variety: The burgundy hue features rich, wine-coloured undertones that have been darkened at the edges to provide a classic "antique" look.
-
High-Shine Finish: The leather is polished to a fine sheen, making it an ideal companion for sharp tailoring or formal evening attire.
-
Durable Elegance: Despite its refined appearance, the premium calf leather is robust and will continue to develop more character and depth with regular polishing.
Technical Build: The Traditional Foundation This edition of the James is grounded by a traditional sole unit for a more streamlined look.
-
Single Leather Sole: The use of a single leather sole maintains the loafer’s slim profile, offering a light feel and a flexible step that becomes increasingly comfortable as it breaks in.
-
Stacked Leather Heel: Features a traditional stacked leather heel with a rubber quarter-tip for added durability and grip.
-
Goodyear Welted: Fully Goodyear welted in our Northampton factory, ensuring a watertight bond and a shoe that is built to be resoled for decades.

Super comfortable sturder loafer
"Great pair, fit from day 1"
Exceptional Quality - as usual
"Great shoe"
Amazing
"Great shoes, bought them in the shop in London. Great customer service, genuine brand! Highly recommended"
Shoes
"The shoes were delivered promptly. It was the first time that I had ordered them and I went on my normal shoe size. They were a little bit too big and I I sent them back for exchange and I found this to be straight forward. The shoes look amazing and feel of great quality. Not worn them yet."
Good quality
"I like the shoe, the quality is good. . But the Brexit makes it not very attractive to order. Nevertheless the shoes are very nice."
Perfect
"Perfect fit and quality. Thanks Alen"
Bellissime
"Tricker’s scarpe di alta classe ed eleganza ! Un evergreen da avere sempre"
Not the leather quality I expected
"For a $700 shoe, leather quality was no acceptable, and now I must pay $245. To return"
"I mistakenly ordered a 7.5 thinking it was a us gauge. Called customer service to correct this to a 6.5 uk size which they promised. But still delivered the 7.5. So disappointing considering the expensive shipment cost. Very sloppy"
