Tassel Loafer Suggestions?

[w.o.e.is.me.]

Any suggestions for a good tassel loafer in the $500 or less range? Considering going with Alden but they're a little stubby. something a little sleeker would work better for me, i think. any thoughts? Really like antiquing the pair below (please disregard the rest of dude's outfit, as i do not in any way endorse it).

C&J Langham in Tan (to be antiqued)?

last 72 is sleeker then the 325 (Cavendish)

The chap in C&J told me they were on a different last. Any idea if this is true?

Yes, different last, toe box is totally different, 325 is a generous blucher last, I think that isn't the best last for a loafer. the C&J's classic tassel last is the 72, but the Redway toe area appears sleeker compared to 72 last. 325

72

Redway

Woe, you seem to hit up Paul Stuart quite often.

Have you check out their shoes? There's a pair of nice suede tassel loafer, you can check out the pix online too.

C&J for polo Darlton -- not sure if these are the same as redway.

When in Paris, I bought a pair of suede tassels at Markowski for something like 175EUR.

These randomly come up on Ebay for a respectable price. I tried unloading these for the longest time - finally wore them on the weekend and they are "keeper's". Lobb - Foxton
