"G.H. Bass is synonymous with the penny loafer and helped cement its place in classic American style. They’ve also managed to keep this timeless silhouette accessibly priced over the years," says Nordstrom Men’s Fashion Director, Jian DeLeon. Having been around since 1936, the Weejuns is the OG penny loafer style that still looks great today. In fact, our Gear & Commerce Editor has had them since 2020 and affirms that their craftsman-like construction can hold up even after years of wear. He highly recommends the all-black for more versatility in your loafer lineup simply because of how dressy, elegant, yet versatile they are. At under $150, it provides incredible value. An easy addition to your weekday uniform.
What Do Other Experts Say? "As the OG, Weejuns are an excellent choice for beginners venturing into this style. With their timeless silhouette, a wide array of styles, and true-to-size fit, Weejuns provide great value for your money," says personal menswear stylist Turner Allen.
