GQ endorses new Bass Weejun in latest issue
07/01/09
"Bass introduced the Weejun loafer in 1936, but it wasn't until the 50's that guys started slipping dimes (price of a phone call) into the mouths of the shoes' straps. Pennies were substituted eventually, and when James Dean stepped into a pair of loafers, it cemented their iconic status. Since then, they've been enjoyed by all, from schoolboys to punks to elegant prepsters. In 2007, high fashion labels like Prada and Gucci made versions in designer leathers and exotic skins. This year, Bass has reinvented its trademark loafer with a slimmer profile and modern lines. The result is stunning and so is the price. The shoe is more fashionable without being too fashion-forward. Wear it with a slim khaki suit or a pair of dark jeans. And at $125 a pair, it's a smart way to master your own reinvention." - Jim Moore shoe image - Dover by G.H.
