I'm not really a bit-loafer fan but I saw that Leffot is doing a preorder for some Color #8 bit-loafers from Rancourt. They look pretty good! Rancourt x Leffot Bit Ivy Pre-order

They are pretty nice looking - a bit more formal than many of the other bit-loafers I've seen.
Formality level aside, I think these are an improvement from their 'pinch' bit loafers.Oak Street's version is my favorite though, with a narrower strap and overlapping plug.

Gilman tends to stretch everywhere. Buckaroo more than Chromexcel, but still both leathers stretch significantly over time. Also, if necessary, a cobbler should be able to stretch an instep quite easily (and instep stretchers are also readily available for purchase online).

I hope other people post their Rancourt footwear. Back to normal rotation after wearing the new pairs almost every day.

Rancourt seems to have a few new things up. I really like these penny loafers. Great price.

@mdubs, you are on fire ? w/ your Rancourt make-ups / purchases! I've fallen in the Rancourt rabbit hole.

I have to confess, I have a shameless copy of your blue / brown shell shoes on order now. Got a couple pairs of shell ranger mocs that I love.

Rancourt custom ordering is the bomb ?!
