Love the look of that Allen chukka. Do you know when it will be in stock? Thank you

It looks amazing in person. I got a single MTO, on the S-last though, but I can tell you that it's absolutely stunning. I think it's their best model by far.

So we've not had a lot of GMTOs and crowdfunders lately - but here is our first ones in a while.

The 3988 is beautiful in person. Is there a reason why that one has 3 holes and mine just have 2? It's the same model, just curious.

Is the Marques the unlined loafer that was teased on IG a while back or is that something else still to come?

I'm waiting for the teaser (Marques in Polo Suede) to drop as well, although I recall it was lined.

:slayer:

Looks like I am indeed waiting for mine to be remade but as long as people post sweet pics of them I'll be fine haha.

I am so glad we went for S last, it really is a great boot shape that is nice and versatile. Hows the fit?

Fit is good! Definitely fits similarly to rain last. I feel like these are a little wider in the forefoot than the S lasted quarter brogues I have in the same size.

Been a while. Just got the L&T string loafers in fox suede - will echo what others have said which is that these (L&T shoes, not necessarily this model) look and feel like a pair more in line with $500 - $600 shoes. I say that as a cranky, critical, non-enthusiastic sort. Looking forward to the weather in NYC cooperating soon and busting them out, beating them up a little in jeans and a t-shirt. Those Bonafe suede derbys are calling my name and I may not be able to hold out this time...

Did you size down due to them being suede and warm weather loafers?

No I did not. I think they fit me fine without socks. Surprised at how comfortable they were.

No it's lined. The unlined loafer will be laucnhed later this spring and is called "Antibes". It's a collaboration style with Manolo.se

This is it: https://www.skoaktiebolaget.com/products/crowdfunder-lof-tung-marques-deposit

For some reason I did not order it as a stock style, so it's available as MTO and GMTO only currently.

Thank you kindly for your nice feedback. Glad people like Löf & Tung!

@Leaves What is the difference between choco suede and brown suede in L&T's lineup?
