Why choose the tan Henley?

Henley is a classic, stylish tassle loafer exuding charm and a sense of fun. Easy to slip on, it is an effortless shoe to wear, and with its rounded toe and clean, uncomplicated lines, it is a versatile choice, as suited to a work environment as it is to the beach.

The Henley loafer in tan is an easy, versatile choice that looks effortlessly smart and chic, while still feeling relaxed and playful.

Looks good with...

With its preppy charm, our Henley tassle loafer can bring a sense of fun to the workplace. Wear them with funky socks to really set them apart from a traditional Oxford lace-up, or try them sockless with shorts or chinos for a summer feel.

Our tan leather has a relaxed, comfortable feel about it and looks great paired with any colour.

Stitched leather sole and stacked leather heel

The sole is stitched onto the upper using a traditional and refined Italian method called Blake stitching. This allows the sole to be easily replaced when it eventually wears but we've used a rubber insert as well, to aid longevity and grip.

There is a 25mm genuine-leather stacked heel, with 6 brass pins and a rubber piece, again for longer wear and better grip. There is also a ‘gentleman’s corner’, a small bevel that reduces snagging of the heel on your trousers.

Materials and craftsmanship

We work with the finest Italian artisan shoemakers who showcase their expertise in cutting, shaping, stitching and dying leathers, skilled crafts that have been handed down through the generations.

With attention to detail being paramount, leathers are carefully selected by weight and pliability and cut to form the pattern to fit the last. Then several stages of dying, polishing and burnishing create the depth and richness of the unique tan colour.

Italian made

Italy is renowned for the quality and style innovation of its beautiful leathers and components used in the shoemaking process.

It has a strong and well-deserved reputation as the home of fine craftsmanship and attention to detail and we want nothing less for our Thomas Bird collection.
