It seems that every loafer style I have seen, penny, tassel, Venetian, driving moc are rather bulky. I'm particularly annoyed with the stitching across the vamp. Not sure what to call it, but it's the same stitching that you always find on split-toe shoes, except on a loafer it occurs without necessarily a split-toe.

Does there exist anything more sleek like the traditional English velvet slipper (shown below), except in leather instead of velvet? Or wait, could I just wear a velvet slipper as a loafer (as in, not just around the house)?
