A classic penny loafer with a modern twist and work boot construction
Handmade with the artisanal craftsmanship of a small historic Italian factory nestled in Mount Sibillini, Italy, the Frentaly Loafer harmonizes American style, Italian construction, Japanese sensibilities, and exceptional materials. Meticulously cut and hand-lasted using the finest full grain Palermo leather for greater thickness and durability, the leather is tumbled and embossed for a subtle, uniform texture that adds a stylish look and supple feel. With a nod to vintage American work boots, these loafers also incorporate a Goodyear Storm Leather Welt construction for enhanced moisture resistance and a snug seal, not to mention a sturdy support for a lifetime of wear.

About Yuketen
Every now and then you get a mad scientist-type innovator who seems to bend all the rules. Well turns out that Yuketen’s lead designer, Yuki Matsuda, falls into that category—and it’s totally paid off, since he’s now one of the most revered shoemakers out there. Using traditional shoe-making techniques and heritage styles as his foundation (think work boots and moccasins) he reimagines the whole shoe—adding here, taking away there, resulting in a modern hybrid of all the best-looking and comfiest parts.
