While on the surface, HUF and G.H. Bass may not have much in common, the truth is that both brands are dedicated to providing users with quality construction and premium materials. Now, the two brands are joining forces for their first collaboration, blending a modern style with a classic silhouette that’ll never go out of style. Taking on the Larson Penny Loafer, HUF and G.H. Bass bring their individual touches to a timeless shoe that is more than just another footwear collaboration. Offering a new generation with a chance to expand their footwear rotation with a sophisticated shoe that still adds fashion and statement to their looks. Although many collaborations take apart the model for a brand new look, this design takes on the original style and makes it even better. 

HUF and G.H. Bass bring modern style to the classic loafer

Although any collaboration that joins HUF and G.H. Bass is bound to make a statement, it’s the design’s leather material that manages to steal the spotlight. Crafted from a unique “chameleon” leather produced specifically for G.H. Bass in El Salvador, the loafer’s color shifts from a rich black to a decadent dark green over time. Made with a green underlayer, constant usage will slowly reveal the green coloring, making it a patina that you’ll be proud to showcase. The green element is incorporated throughout the design, both in the interior and insoles. Along with the leather, the patina is also applied to two sets of HUF “transit” coins in classic gold and HUF green. Along with the loafers, users will also receive a custom-branded shoe horn. Retailing for $264, the HUF x G.H. Bass Larson Penny Loafer is available now via HUF’s webstore.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
