J.FitzPatrick Footwear - JF Line

Penny loafers are an undeniable classic, and our Washington model follows that long tradition. With our smart chisel last, this is your no-nonsense pair for looking great on your more casual days. Our Dark Sapphire Suede colorway is a true blue option that will pair brilliantly with every shade of grey, as well as offering a handsome choice for your lighter, brighter Spring/Summer outfits such as khaki, cream, and light blue.

On our Street Walker Rubber Sole, our Washingtons are as hardy as they are elegant, keeping you looking equally good in the office and on a rainy afternoon out. For those of you who already have your fill of black and brown penny loafers, here's your next step!

    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

    They're beautiful but I haven't worn them, yet. Will soon.

    My First Suede Shoe the Washington - Dark Sapphire Suede

    The shoe has a beautiful look for a loafer. It has a very dressy look to it. I’ve worn it to numerous events and it’s so dark that it looks black at every evening outing. The butterfly design along with the city sole make it a go to for both casual and dress events. It’s one of my favorites from JFitzPatrick! 🎩
