American-made, Ivy-style loafer made from kudu leather
Few footwear brands carry a legacy like Alden. For over 140 years, the brand has hand-crafted leather footwear at its Middleborough, Massachusetts workshop. This season, we partnered with Alden to develop an exclusive, hardwearing version of the Leisure Penny Loafer in Dark Waxy Kudu, a durable leather that comes from the African greater kudu antelope. It boasts a dark, rich color and a premium feel, along with water resistance from the leather’s naturally high oil content. Artisans at the Alden workshop then add a tempered steel shank for structure, a Goodyear welt construction, and a flexible Leisure rubber sole. A Huckberry tree in the insole adds the final touch.

About Alden
Founded in 1884 by Charles H. Alden in Middleborough, Massachusetts, Alden has spent well over 140 years making the finest leather footwear in the United States. They’re renowned for using premium leathers from the world’s best tanneries—often from the famous Horween Leather Company in Chicago, where it's long been rumored that Alden gets first pick of the maker’s iconic shell cordovan. The same attention to craft carries over to Alden’s Middleborough workshop, where skilled artisans—some second- and third-generation—hand-finish each pair, a testament to the brand being one of the longest-surviving shoemakers in New England.
