    Yeah half size down from brannock. Brannock -1 width works as well, I have a van friendly foot which makes Aberdeen fit like crap lol

    Personally I think the van last is just too perfect for a penny loafer for me to veer too far off from Alden, though I do own some C&J Pennie’s. For other styles like horse bits or tassels I’ve been known to try some osb/GS tho 😉

    Had a shell issue with my 986 and Alden fixed me up with a new pair, which was a lot more than I expected. I had a receipt that I bought them new so maybe that had something to do with it, but I expected them to be like it’s been a few months, kick rocks. Alden4lyfe

    Alden or bust for penny loafers (unless you can’t find the particular make up anymore like the unlined stuff).

    I own LHS at size 7.5E and 8D both fit me well. Calf Harvard 7E fits fine but a bit tighter than the Alden stuff. Alden is wider for sure

    Color 8 is really my favorite shell color. So good. Glad it’s not a rare

    They look a bit lighter with indirect sunlight. They’re a bit faded compared to my 986

    I love penny loafers, and I was able to get these harvards for 150 or so almost new. I don’t like tan shoes however, and I wanted unlined black pennies. So one dye job later… 😁

    Full cut linens and wools do this really well, may post some stuff later

    Hot weather and Tassels. These are from the seconds store and they had a small knick on the tassel lace which I put a tiny bit of super glue on to prevent it from tearing more. Otherwise they’re perfect. I ordered a couple of black shell pairs from the seconds store and the shell was ripped on...
