G.H.Bass – The Original Weejun

George Henry Bass founded a shoe factory in 1876, which launched the first Bass penny loafer in 1936. The design language was based on the mocassins of the North American natives and they called these loafers “Weejuns”, which colloquially means “simplified”.

The simplified way of wearing a shoe without laces quickly made these shoes popular and many Hollywood stars, and especially Ivy League students, wore this footwear to the world.

Combine the loafers with a pair of jeans from Resolute or a chino from Tellason and a JFK polo shirt from G.Inglese and interpret your personal Ivy style or wear them with Hollywood pants from Rota and a linen shirt from Borriello or Finamore in the style of former Hollywood stars.

The unlined finish creates great comfort after a short break-in period.
