Most classic/versatile penny loafer

[bugatti.veyron]

If I was to own just one pair of penny loafers...what should I get? I'm assuming it should be brown/burgandy so I could pair it with khakis, dress pants, or jeans? Allen Edmonds seems to have a good reputation on this site, but they have like 10 different styles and various colors. Can someone recommend a particular model? On a side note, would I be better off getting penny loafers or those loafers with the metal bits on top (not sure what they're called) like http://www.zappos.com/allen-edmonds-...ark-brown-calf

There's a "quick questions" thread at the top of the page that would probably be best for these threads.

Answer is Alden for BB unlined LHS in #8.

This is the correct answer. Available at your friendly local Brooks Brothers, and only get better with age.

How can a man with the golden fleece as his icon and selling BB shoes in his signature suggest such a thing?

The proper answer is, of course, this in burgundy:

If you go so far as to renounce that, I daresay sir that you go so far as to abjure America.

These may not qualify as most classic, but are my favorites.
