G.H. Bass

Started by Mr George Henry Bass in 1876, G.H. Bass carved its name into the history books by creating the first pair of penny loafers in 1936, playfully dubbing them 'Weejuns'. Over the intervening 84-odd years, its timeless footwear has been worn by everyone from President John F Kennedy to Mr Steve McQueen and is still made using the traditional bench-crafting and hand-stitching methods today.
