"Very good loafers, especially if you are between size."
The Dartmouth Loafers in Weave Black are designed for men searching for a black woven loafer that feels as good as it looks. The woven leather vamp is crafted by hand, creating subtle texture, improved airflow and a point of difference that sets it apart from a standard black penny loafer. Polished enough for the office, versatile enough for dinners, events and long weekends away, this is an easy upgrade to your everyday rotation.
Underfoot, the leather and rubber-injected sole adds grip and durability without losing flexibility, so you can move from commute to client meeting to evening plans in comfort. Wear with sharp tailoring, black or charcoal suits for weddings and formal occasions, or keep it relaxed with dark denim and a crisp shirt. Discover more in our Loafers collection.

Wipe away surface dirt with a clean dry cloth after each wear. Apply a neutral leather polish periodically to keep the upper in good condition and rotate between wears to allow the shoe to breathe and hold its shape. Keep away from prolonged exposure to water or direct heat. Always wear socks to extend the life of the lining.

"Very good loafers, especially if you are between size."
"This is my second pair of the penny loafers from Aquila and can’t recommend them enough. While they take a few wears to break in, the leather softens very nicely and the colour has remained distinct. Very comfortable for a loafer. I’d recommend sizing down as they tend to slip at the heel at a larger size."
"Love these shoes. I have them in the tan suede and the neutral leather. They are very comfortable and I am getting a huge amount of wear out of them. They look good with jeans and chinos. . . dressed up or down. Very pleased with my purchases."
"I'd been looking for a pair for some time and came across these. Delivery was on schedule and the fit was true to size. Good quality of finish and a fair price for the pair at $269 including delivery and a $10 discount code."
"I recently purchased three pairs of the Dartmouth multi-colour loafers from Aquila, and I must say they have exceeded my expectations in every way. These shoes strike a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The design feels truly timeless—something that instantly brings to mind the refined style of a well-dressed gentleman from the 1950s. What I love most is how effortlessly they elevate a smart-casual outfit. Whether paired with tailored trousers or a relaxed weekend look, they add a subtle sophistication that is hard to find in modern footwear. The craftsmanship is impressive, and despite their refined appearance, they are remarkably comfortable for all-day wear. Another pleasant surprise is the value for money. Compared to many competitors in the market, the price is unbeatable for the level of style and quality you receive. In my view, the Dartmouth loafers are a true must-have in any gentleman’s wardrobe—classic, versatile, and effortlessly stylish."
