Thank you for the advice. Also with the office I am in, although professional, has a dress code that most if not all on SF would find extremely casual. So for me these paired with denim or cotton would work for any workday in the summer.

Today I just purchased a pair of Alden Navy Suede Unlined Leisure Handsewn Loafers with Oiled Waterlock Soles on the Plaza last. Pics to come soon! I tried them on and fell in love... so comfortable.

And grabbed these Alden Sand Suede Longwings a few months ago in preparation for Spring/Summer:




These are both just fantastic. Love the colour of the AS and the Browning is one of the best HG styles IMO. Snap with aportnoy on the Aldens, they look very solid, practical and smart .

The Aldens look great, but the brown ones look a little weird?

I almost forgot that one of my favorite looks for summer was woven leather. But I haven't seen it in many years until I ran across these today on another thread. I love this look as a loafer or a chukka.
