Default Velvet loafers

Thoughts on these? Was thinking they would work well for evenings at home with guests, perhaps with a pair of gray flannels. Thoughts on color as well, please. Also, no Belgian shoes.

Leopard or zebra print.

If you are too shy: navy, burgundy and pale gray. Green too. Hell, any color.

Just don't get Arfango.

All the English ones are made at the same place, right?

The Arfango ones are great:



But unfortunately no longer available in my size.

Bowhill & Elliot make a good share of the Alberts with the quilted interior. Church's still make their own, I believe.

Why don't you just have your new shoemakers, G&G, make you up a pair? It's only moolah.

I don't even have a last yet, and I don't feel like waiting eight months.

Really? What'd you get?

I don't think G&G have Alberts yet. Later this year.
