“Take Ivy,” is a photo-book released in 1965 featuring photos by T. Hayashida of Ivy League campuses. The book is considered to be the bible of the Ivy League look in Japan. Thus inspired we created our original Leffot “Ivy” loafer in homage to the coolest loafer of the sixties, the “Venetian”.
Clean, smooth and simple this loafer is much more than it appears to be on the surface. Made of Genuine Horween unlined shell cordovan they are incredibly supple, flexible and light, a joy to slip on and loaf around in. The amount of handwork that goes into a simple pair like these is staggering. Made in Maine and completely hand sewn these shoes are made on true moccasin construction so your feet are wrapped in cordovan top and bottom. In addition it takes the sewer 70% more time to sew a cordovan shoe because there is simply NO margin for error.
Unlined shell cordovan loafers are not easily found. We think you’ll agree these may well be the perfect shoe for spring and summer wear.
These shoes are available in Natural, Dark Cognac, Navy and Color 6 in US sizes Medium widths.
“Ivy” Unglazed Natural Cordovan – $650
“Ivy” Dark Cognac Cordovan – $650

Steven,
Any chance you would ever offer an E width?
Steven,
Beautiful loafers. Are they GY welted?
Chris,
These are moccasin construction not goodyear.

James,
Sorry for now only D widths.
Steven
I’ll have to look that up. Thanks.
Steven,
If you ever become inclined to offer E, would you keep me in mind?
James,
To be honest it’s doubtful we’ll stock E widths in these. The unlined shell is so supple they mold to your feet almost instantly. If you’d like to special order a pair wider please contact me directly.
Steven
I’ll be right over.
Tintin these shoes are soooooooooo you.

The Florscheims are so bad. I bought two pair and am ready to throw them away. I’ll stop by next week. The dark cognac is my preference. Now if I can get my map and compass to find your store again…
Do these fit true to size or a bit small or big? For reference purposes I am a size 9 in Alden Barrie or Plaza last but often a 9.5 in other shoes

Most guys buy these in there regular shoe size.
Hi Steven – now that Spring is supposed to be upon us are these still available or will they be offered again this year? Looking for a 13D.
