SF - Velvet loafers

**iammatt** · April 30th, 2009, 07:20 PM

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.

navy or purple. Black if you must.

As in Albert slippers? I think they're cool.

What about green?

**voxsartoria** · April 30th, 2009, 07:22 PM

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.

No funny crests.

Maybe with a 2 inch heel.

Will you also be sporting a smoking jacket and pith helmet?

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.
