Following the spirit of the Hawthorne butterfly loafer, and combining it with their love of two-tone styles, J.FitzPatrick created the Meridian loafer, with separated vamp and quarters in place of the Hawthorne's hand-stitched apron -- a quiet difference, but a significant one.
This black suede model leans into that subtle design character of the Meridian loafer, keeping things classic with their black coloring, but giving them a modern twist with textured suede. The resulting loafer is a playful blend of classic and contemporary.
FEATURES:
- European suede
- Fully leather lined for comfort and longevity
- Open-channel combination leather / rubberized sole
- 360-degree Goodyear welted construction
SIZE GUIDANCE:
As a standard rule for J.FitzPatrick shoes, loafers are cut more snugly compared to laced shoes in the same size.
For the Meridian, on the TMG Last, we recommend that most gentlemen stick with the same size as their laced shoes. The exception is if you wear your laced shoes without room to spare, in which case we recommend you take a half size up. We do not recommend you size down on the Meridian unless you have a very slender foot with a very low instep.
Similar in sizing to the Carmina Uetam loafer and Crockett & Jones Cavendish.
Length: Standard
