what the style is:

Penny Loafer

Penny loafers are classic American styling, identified by their "penny" strap that lays across the tongue. This is a "half strap" style, where the strap reaches the moccasin-style apron stitching, but dues not extend any further.

what it's lasted on:

Saint Helens Last

The Saint Helens last is the chisel last of our JF line. It is slightly elongated, but less so than our J. FitzPatrick line chisel lasts; it ultimately fits very true to size with a medium instep and a cut that closely follows the contours of the foot. We recommend keeping your standard size with the Saint Helens last.

The Saint Helens is a classic medium-fitting last:
-Medium forefoot (neither too wide nor too narrow)
-Medium instep, not as generous as our J.FitzPatrick Line lasts
-Good for medium width feet
-Slightly elongated last, yet very shaped to foot length/profile

what you'll be standing on:

Street Walker Sole

The "Street Walker" sole is an open-channel, combination leather and rubber design. Leather heel stacks and mid soles are topped with rubber to create an all-weather capable finish.

size guidance

As a standard rule for our loafers, we cut them more snugly compared to our laced shoes in the same size.

The Washington loafer is as close a fit to an unlined loafer that we have, due to its lowcut pattern and deconstructed side panels. We recommend you stick to your regular oxford size for a standard width fit. If you are narrow, you will need to size down at best. Potentially it might not work at all if you are a true narrow. A true wide foot will have a difficult time fitting this loafer.

Similar in sizing to the Carmina Uetam loafer and Crockett & Jones Cavendish with a bit more play in the heel.

Length: Elongated (circa 1 inch of space at toe)
Width: Standard
Instep: Low Cut (generous)
Toe Box: Standard
Last Shape: Hard Chisel

Fantastic Penny Loafers

This is my second pair of J.FitzPatrick shoes and they are both wonderful. The fit on the Washington is true to size and they wear very comfortably. I'm quite happy with the shoe and would highly recommend them :D

Great Loafers

Really happy with how the shoes fit, feel and look, especially at the price point. The customer service was great - I had to exchange for a half size larger. They were extremely responsive and helpful.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s black suede loafers

I’ve recently bought the Washingtons in black suede and delighted with them. They fit me like a glove without any blisters or other issues (like visiting your side of the family instead of your partner’s). Never thought black suede can be used for both casual and business settings (had several compliments, including the lines of “you promised me you wouldn’t buy another pair”). Definitely be coming back soon!

Washington Black Suede

What an absolutely beautiful shoe! The fit and finish, spot on!

So Sleek

Black Suede makes a statement in and of themselves. Black Suede from Justin Fitzpatrick just catapults you into another dimension of style!
