Torbay—The New Unlined Dress Loafers
Hybrid designs are a common theme in the house’s footwear design. Retaining the excellence of traditional English shoemaking, this is yet another design that pushes the envelope of legendary English-shoemaking house Crockett & Jones. This is our take on a completely unlined dress loafer.
Good bench made shoes would always be best if they are Goodyear welted, if not by hand, the bespoke way. Why? Because they can be resoled. They are sturdier, also better for the foot, and it’s just a respectful nod to tradition. But that doesn’t limit the possibilities the upper can do, right? Spending the whole day strolling around the office, or the city, the last thing you want is an extremely sturdy upper that restricts breathability, worse it goes you cramps or blisters. Soft unlined upper contrastingly juxtaposed with a Goodyear welted sole, made the old English way, that’s what our new unlined dress loafer Torbay is all about.
Named after a small coastal town Torbay, we’ve taken inspiration from the sensibility of relaxation and tranquility. It has the comfort of a small, quaint town, but a sharp design geared up for the big city. We envision this to be the softest possible shoe for dress use.
Made structureless on the upper, it is suitable with tailoring or suits for an elevated look. It is an elegant shoe with a more angular toe box, featuring sharper lines to compensate for its completely unlined structure.
68% Cotton, 20% Silk, 12% Merino wool
A soothing palette with a luxuriously soft hand combined with a slight vintage feel and visuals, the shadow stripes give subtle depth and definition to the piece. A shirting piece that weighs heavily on casualness, but at times can also dress up if needs be.
The design features a special chest pocket design with jetted seam finish. The construction is where it differentiates from our other creations. We opted for the softest interlining for collars and cuffs, giving a more pared down, unfussy aesthetic to make the narrative whole. The wear experience is incomparable. It is an absolute delight to wear against the skin. Very smooth with minimal friction points. Fabrication is still machine-washable.
Pair this with: Civilman Trousers in Deep Olive, Khaki, or Taupe. Goodman Jacket, Sport Jacket, or Lazyman Jacket in Camelhair and Navy Bouclé.

100% Japanese Cotton
Suitable for all smart to casual settings, there is nowhere this pair of trousers can’t take you.
Civilman Trousers are the relaxed versions of your tailored dress trousers. Like a chino, it is at the same time a step-up of the rugged jeans/classic denim. It embodies a modest and courteous image, mostly casual with a hint of dressiness. The cloth is the ultimate highlight. The ecru denim is elevated by subtle dispersed flecks of espresso or black, like vanilla pod in ice cream. It evokes an instinctive raw-looking charm, adding an extra layer of casualness to the garment.
This design is based on the classic five-pocket denim, built-in with curved inset pockets on the sides of the front with a coin pocket (formerly referred to as a watch pocket). The traditionally big patch back pockets are purposely replaced with our signature anchor-shaped flaps. Cut for a mid to high-rise, straight-legged, perfect for tailoring and casualwear. Wear them pressed with the centre crease or without, up to your preference.
Pair this with: Uppers we recommend Deep Blue Linen Shirt,Boating blazer in Dark Beige/Ink Boating Stripes, short sleeve polo in club navy or tennis white and our knitted t-shirts Navy/White Nautical Stripes, Brick Red/White Nautical Stripes or any colours in our classic knitted t-shirts such as caramel,mustard, navy.
Care tips: Cold wash (below 30°C) by hand or machine, hang dry only. Due to the nature of the cloth, a total of 1.5cm length shrinkage may apply from the first few machine washes.
Also available in other fabrics.

Navy is a man's best friend, but there are only so many one can own. We made this navy just a little different from your usual ones by adding a single teal yarn to create a slight green cast that combines gracefully with blue. This is the third iteration of our navy Lazyman Jacket, with all details refined, and it is likely to be the final version of its kind. It is a piece with slightly reinforced weave, in special woollen spun technique which leads to an extremely soft, louche, and fuzzy creation. Designed for the city, the multi-purpose jacket is suitable for all seasons.
The Lazyman Jacket is The Anthology's signature product - an unconstructed jacket made for the modern man. This version is designed to be a cardigan-like garment that is an alternative to your work blazer. The product features 3 functional pockets, rollable sleeves and adjustable side tabs at the back. Woven by a specialized mill in Biella, Italy, the fabric offers a unique hairiness that is slightly reminiscent of tweed but with a surprisingly fine cashmere touch, a mix of vintage and urban sartorialism.
This is the third iteration of our navy Lazyman Jacket, with all details refined, and it is likely to be the final version of its kind.

Crafted in luxurious milled calf, a soft calfskin that is comparable to sheepskin, with a buttery soft dark brown surface dressed with natural fine grains with no after-finish, no embossing. What you end up getting is a natural hide that has beautifully grained leather, softly complementing and texturising the softness of the design.
The overall shoe is completely unlined—a great sensation.
