Crockett & Jones in Black
No outfit is complete without the right shoes to pair with. A full completion of this fall/winter’s main theme, black, filling the gap that brown shoes would never have, we are pleased to introduce the black version of our collaboration with Crockett & Jones. Bringing to you the Bodley and Bloomsbury, our penny and tassel loafer design, now in the new black calf and black suede version.
Black calf can be a dressier take for formal suiting or evening ensembles, or contrarily, a way to penetrate casual looks that enlighten a rebellious moment - think punk rock and workwear, where white socks, controversially, become part of the equation.
Black suede represents the unabridged discreet elegance — astoundingly ‘lacklustre’, bold in colour but soft in texture, it looks oddly familiar yet startlingly peculiar. Unbothered, while weighing a powerful statement but is too cool to answer to someone, black suede is no different from the cool indie person that finesses good taste and good work. It would never be more popular than its counterpart brown suede, but would always be remembered a unique character.
Enjoy the two addition of styles and we hope you get to see black in tailoring in a new light.
We are honoured to create this collaboration model crafted by one of the last remaining English shoemakers, the formidable, dependable, failproof Crockett & Jones.
Bodley is a half-strap penny loafer designed with clean, elegant lines, such as the refined butt-stitched apron and an oval cutout.
On a 376 last, it features a modestly short vamp which is casual enough to be paired with jeans, chinos and our Civilman trousers, yet dressy enough to be taken back to more formal settings when a suit is called for. Although based on an iconic C&J shoe last, the heel counter was also modified from its predecessor, the 314 last, to hug tighter around the back of the heel for a better fit, also to accentuate the divine lines of the shoe.
This design is done in black calf, with a single leather sole, Goodyear welted. Box and individual shoe bags included.
Summary:
• UK sizing
• E fitting
• 376 last
• Black calf upper
• Single leather sole

Bloomsbury is an absolute no-fuss, short-vamped tassel loafer. It is an ode to Bloomsbury Group's commitment to exploring new ways of thinking, like how a tassel loafer was born out of artistic curiosities.
On an archival 72 last, the shoe features a short vamp and a soft almond toe, modishly executed with wider joints to achieve a versatile look, also made more comfortable. The style opens doors to both casual and formal styling, instead of a typical long-vamp loafer where strictly formal dressing is preferred.
