Harvard 2 Black Shell Cordovan

Shoes like these are definitely not a dime a dozen. Honestly, that certainly ain’t the price. While a loafer like the Harvard in dark brown calfskin is the pinnacle of conservative elegance, this cordovan version gives it an alluring mean streak that sets it apart. The upper of this shoe exhibits a rich, deep and almost villainously dark lustre that only black cordovan can offer, thereby adding a subtle yet undeniable flair. While its black colour and the characteristic sheen of cordovan mean this shoe can be worn in even the most formal of settings, its unlined construction means that it is exceptionally soft and comfortable, as well as offering the versatility for casual wear. While unlined loafers can provide supreme comfort straight out of the box, cordovan actually softens over time even more than calf, meaning that the unlined Harvard 2 in black cordovan will feel even better ten, fifteen or even twenty years from now.
