Sleek Tan Loafer?

[RingTail]

Any ideas on what I can consider for sleek tan loafer? Around $500.
I'm inclined to get C&J Merton, but they don't have it in a tan color.
AE has loafers in walnut, but they aren't sleek.

Santoni "Nate" maybe? Nordstrom has them.

I have a pair of C&J Roseberys that fit that description

those aren't really sleek in the same sense at the merton (on the 348 last)

I have a pair of Santoni's and really like them, anyone know if Nate has an elongated toe, seems a little squarish.



C&J Roseberry looks nice too, interestingly they don't show up on the C&J site, any idea what last it is? I would have considered the C&J Sydney too in tan, but they don't have it.
Tan does not seem that popular.

The 348 is a pretty vulgar last, IMO.

disagree. I like my mertons and hallams very much.

Its not traditional english in the bulbous sense, so if you're used to that, it can take some getting used to.

What in particular do you dislike about 348? The chiseled toe, narrow vamp?

How about 341 Sydney, that's the other sleek one.

The Armoury carries some very nice sleek, tan Carmina loafers.
