Edward Green Brown Baby-Calf Suede Portland Unlined Tassel Loafer

Discover the Edward Green Brown Baby-Calf Suede Portland Unlined Tassel Loafer on the 389 Last. Baby-calf suede sits at the finer end of what Edward Green works with: the hide taken from younger animals produces a suede of exceptional suppleness and a pebbled surface texture that is softer and more refined than standard calf, the nap carrying a depth of colour and a handle that improves with every wearing. The Portland is the house's tassel loafer, built on the 389 last, Edward Green's classic round-toed slipper last designed with the relaxed, close-to-the-foot profile that proper slip-on footwear requires, the shape neither elongated nor squared but settled into a quiet oval that suits the informality of the model. Unlined construction and a featherlight leather sole reduce the shoe to its minimum without removing anything that matters, the result being a loafer light enough to fold and stow in a travel bag without ceremony, the sole flexible enough that the shoe offers no resistance to the foot whatsoever. The tassel sits across the vamp in the manner that has made the Portland a summer reference point for the house since it was introduced. This being a vintage piece, the Edward Green font on the insole belongs to an earlier period of the house's history, the lettering carrying the particular character of a time when the branding was set differently.

Edward Green has been making shoes in Northampton since 1890, and the Portland in baby-calf suede on the 389 last is the house at its most unhurried: a loafer built for warm weather, long travel and the kind of ease that only a properly made English shoe provides.
