J.M. Weston: The Iconic French Loafer

J.M. Weston

The Iconic French Loafer

A French Icon

A shoe that we've used for just about every photoshoot for the last five or six years, the J.M. Weston 180 is the loafer that defined Parisian ease. Adopted by the French establishment in the 1940s, it owes its low vamp and signature cutout strap to a trip Eugène Blanchard, son of the house's founder, took to America in the 1920s- his own take on our classic penny loafer, filtered through a French eye. Being as passionate about the brand as we are, we're incredibly proud to be one of just two North American accounts carrying the 180, offering three distinct styles, available in shop and online.

Impeccable Quality

J.M. Weston is one of the last shoemakers left that still owns its own tannery, which means the leather isn't merely sourced- it's made, start to finish, by Weston. Each pair passes through hundreds of steps by hand, and is goodyear welted for a sole that can be resoled again and again.

We brought the three styles of the 180- chocolate caviar grain, brown suede, and classic black box calf- up to the Upper East Side and shot around Central Park to showcase this shoe as it's meant to be worn.

All three styles are available to try in store or to order online, and if you have questions on fit or which pair suits you, email us at team@jmueser.com and we'll be happy to help.
