Ohhhh yeahhhhh! :nodding:
I was surprised how little breaking in these things are taking. The dye Alden puts over the color 8 and the color nuances it creates in the creases and stitching is really something to behold.


enjoy wearing!

Looking to get an all purpose loafer, mostly wear jeans or chinos. I can be very tough on shoes, how would the Ralph Lauren Marlow Penny Loafer compare to the LHS. Any pros/cons of either? Thanks.

I was vigorously brushing my Cap Toe #8's when around the ankle area it started to become quite rough with little spots (tears?) in it. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything to be done to get rid of this?

Thanks for any help. Here's a couple of pics of the area.

They don't fit remotely similarly. The Marlow has a double sole, which seems stupid to me in a loafer.
