Boston 2 Dark Brown Rough-Out Suede

Boston 2, the classic penny loafer from the Men's Main Collection. Since loafers have no laces and therefore no possibility for adjustments, getting the right heel fit is crucial. Crockett & Jones has developed some of the best-fitting lasts in the game. You won’t find our loafers slipping at the heel. Among a wide range of loafers, Boston has become one of, if not our most iconic. The appeal of these shoes owes much to their versatility, as well as their casual, unmistakable timelessness. Now available, for the first time, in Rough-Out Suede.

Rough-out suede is a material that ‘roughs-up’ during wear. Over time, it takes on a rugged, worn aesthetic which makes it our most casual material in the collection. If left uncared for, you will find it lightens and continues to become rougher in look and feel. However, rough-out suede very much benefits from an annual covering in dubbin to uphold its water resistance. An application of dubbin will also darken down the leather, and reduce its rough appearance bringing back some ‘newness’.
