Keep on going an this channel is gonna be huge! Hard to find someone who strikes just the right balance of quality + luxury, and being open to spend $$$ when the item is right! Looking forward to more comparisons (maybe one on wool overcoats given winter is coming and is another staple item)
to each their own. But $1000 for a basic looking simple cemented suede shoe is insane, and to last one year? Personally I'd much rather have a beautiful welted pair of penny or horse bit loafers. More versatile, will last a lifetime with proper care and way cheaper for a better shoe (look at oak street, grant stone, blackstock and weber for some brands)
I absolutely love all of your roundup videos like this, along with your detailed posts on /r/mfa. Especially love the idea of comparing dupes of an iconic piece (like this one) as opposed to some of your other videos which are much more open-ended and subjective (like the hoodie video). It'd be way too expensive, and time/space-consuming but I wish someone would do this with comparing dupes of the iconic Eames lounge and ottoman to the official Herman Miller version. Suggestion for next video: straight-leg jeans! It'd be a bit unique because it could be bookended by the Levi's 501 on the low end up to a pair of Levi's LVC replicas on the higher end, along with lots of budget points in-between (e.g. from Unbranded to TCB or Blue Blue Japan, to Pure Blue Japan or Samurai)
Yes, great to see you collab with Asket. Because of your videos, most of my wardrobe is kitted out with their stuff. Got to try their denim next. Do you wear the loafers without socks? I use no shoe socks but I thought wearing without would cause huge moisture build up leading to being uncomfortable?
Thank you so much. A collab with Asket has always been a dream and I'm glad we got to do something! All loafers I typically wear with no show socks. These are the first ones where I’ve gone truly sockless. Still not sure how I feel about it but moisture buildup hasn’t been an issue so far and the shoe trees definitely help
Rich man’s Hey Dudes? lol I actually like this style loafers but couldn’t help thinking this while watching the video. I’ll be subscribing man love the content 💯
Nice video! I personally found the winner 🥇 n this category to be the model by Velasca. I like a lined shoe and the rubber soles are cemented but also Blake stitched. Tried the Scarossa model and sent them back right away, as they were not well made at all. I’m big into shoes including the materials and construction. I also picked up a pair of Magnanni in this style and they are again lined and well constructed, although not sole stitched. I would not even try the Loro Pianos because they are unlined and unstructured. The two I mentioned above that are keepers are not bulky and have the desired silouette. I fully conditioned them with Saphir spray condition as well as the Saphir water repellant spray. I don’t mess around with my shoes and have a nice collection of high quality dress shoes and sneakers, including retro low CP’s. I would have bought the LP Summer Walks if they were better made.
You know your stuff! Really wish I would have known about the Velasca’s earlier. They seem right up alley. I personally like the flex the unlined Loro Piana’s provide compared to the rest. But personal preference at the end of the day. Thanks for the informative comment 🙌🏽

I'm confused what you mean by "traditional." There is no tradition here. These shoes are newer than smartphones. They're a minimalist gimmick, they're just the new common projects, they'll fall out of favor in four years as soon as people realize how pointless they are (and as soon as all of their pairs have fallen apart). Loro Piana is not a quality brand. Old money just wears actual boat shoes, or sperries, or whatever orthopedic sneakers their maid bought for them.
What is it with Americans always mispronouncing easy to pronounce brands? Like Scarosso, there's a double s for a reason. Why call it Scaroso? Same thing with risotto, calling it risodo, or calling a Testarossa a Testarosa. Only Americans do that, and I think it's a weird phenomenon, as it's easy to pronounce it correctly.
What do y'all think? Are the Loro Pianas actually worth it or would you go with one of the other options?
Won't catch me dead in these, but watched anyway. Appreciate the high quality content!
I wasn't a fan a few years ago but they have really grown on me! These look great on feet and you can wear them on a ton of different fits.
The Asket sponsored material was great! I was looking for more information on their pants and found this part super helpful

Thanks for the support, I appreciate it!
Wool coats are hard since I live in Texas but agreed that would be a good video!
You're back!! Dude I love your channel, I'm a guy whose recently been getting more into clothing/shoes trying to upgrade, your channel is terrific!
Appreciate the support!
Random day at a thrift and there was 2 scarroso ludovico in my size for $40 each! I am stoked!
That’s a steal!
I love loafers! Can't wait to actually watch the vid lol
Thanks! Let me know your thoughts!
Best sponsor ad I’ve ever seen. You’re awesome, dude.
Appreciate that man!
Top quality content, your channel will for sure grow if you keep the videos coming. Next video suggestion: best jeans, chinos, etc
Means a lot, thanks for the support

Have to agree with you there
It could be okay, compared to the multi thousand dollar clothing items they sell
I’m looking at the title and I already know this is gonna be a good video 😮
Honestly felt like one of the best ones we’ve made. Hope you like it!

Thanks! Glad you loved it. This was a fun one to make!
I own many aurelien loafers and can say confidently they are the best!

@@asimwhich no show socks do you recommend?
Been dying to buy a pair of loafers, again here to save the day thanks dude!
Thanks for watching!
Rich man’s Hey Dudes? lol I actually like this style loafers but couldn’t help thinking this while watching the video. I’ll be subscribing man love the content 💯
Haha pretty much
You posted after a long time.
So good to be back 🙌🏼
You should review the massimo dutti split suede loafer
the gum stuck bit was hilarious. hope you got it off
Was literally my second time wearing them too haha - TikTok came in clutch recommending WD40 and it rubbed right off
@@asim oh thats a clutch tip i wouldnt have thought of, thanks will keep that in mind
can you do the same for GAT sneakers
Wonderful vid! Unfortunately the sound volume goes up and down at certain times. Overall though I'm glad you came up with this. Keep up it up. Cheers!
Thanks for the feedback, noticed that after the fact on the talking head portions of the video. Will keep it in mind for future vids
the berwick palma flex is another good option
Dude do a review on that Rolex OP and did u get one from dealer.
dude youve got to upload more your vids are awesome
Appreciate the love, more videos coming soon!
Hey man immediately thought of your channel. You should try luca faloni polos
Id get one of those loro piana shoes. They look pretty snazzy. I dont mind the price.
These shoes are nice. I have one pair from gucci love em.
Yeah i think i will just live with my Birkenstock Arizonas, or the Gizeh
Vídeo extraordinário, realmente se trata de uma silhueta muito simples mais ao mesmo tempo elegante
can't get me out of my ultra boost, we talkin comfy aesthetic, easy fit knit polo, cashmere sweater, dress pants and ultra boost. Hasn't failed me yet
I didn’t even know adidas still made ultra boost hahaha
Best vid thus far! Not bias :)
Thank ya videographer
What shoe trees do you recommend? How much money does one need to spend on a shoe tree?
Nice channel 🫡 subscribed
Can’t remember off the top of my head but I have a good Amazon pair in the description
What’s the suede jacket you are wearing ? It looks fire ❤️🔥
It was a sample for my brand but didnt make it to production. I think Massimo Dutti has a similar option!
cool content, where's your sweater from?
Quince!
buddy, what's the pair of white pants you wear throughout the video? been looking for a pair just like that lately. thanks!
Suitsupply chinos!

Thanks for the informative comment 🙌🏽
What kind of water protection spray did you use? I think most of them you definitely should not spray on your hands...
Have it linked in the description. It was recommended by Loro Piana staff
Never been keen on Loafers with a white sole 🙁
They've been super popular recently - rightfully too due to how versatile and comfortable they are!
Loro piana at 450usd is king, at current price it has zero competitive advantage compare to baudoin & Lange
i have the scarosso and idk whats wrong with my feet but when i wore them the bottom of my feet would sweat like crazy
Haven't noticed that on my end but I'll pay more attention. How're they holding up?
Hair routine?
Blumaan Original as a prestyler to damp hair followed by Milbon No. 8 after i've blowdried it - can't find link to Blumaan but here's the Milbon amzn.to/47WRiu4
Do you know what happened to the Loro Piana Summer Walk color selection? I can only see four colors on their website now.
They are all great ,will be getting a pair of TLB Mallorca,thanks 🏴👍
There is another brand from Mallorca that is good as well. Carmina. Will recommend to take a look 😊
🐐

Wait. You wear your loafers without socks? No man NO SHOWS 😅😅
I wear no shows 99% of the time with shoes like this but the Loro piana staff was adamant on wearing these sockless so I gave them a shot
First!!!!
