Church’s Black Tassel Loafers US 8D – Made in the UK, Pre-Prada Era (Like New)

Superb pair of Church’s Custom Grade tassel loafers in polished black calf leather, made in England at the brand’s famous Northampton factory. Purchased new in 1992 at Church’s former Chicago storefront—pre-Prada acquisition, ensuring original production standards from this era. These loafers are Goodyear-welted for durability and fully leather lined, featuring hand-stitched aprons and signature double tassel detailing. Condition is like-new - with almost zero wear on the sole - see photos. Includes original box, receipts, and Church’s-branded shoehorn. Your chance to own a piece of English shoemaking history in pristine condition. Church’s modern equivalent - the Kingsley model retails new for over $1600 + taxes. In terms of sizing, believe this is a US 8 and not UK 8. I usually wear US 8.5 and this fits snug for me. Hand measurement of the outer shoe length is 11.5”. The Custom Grade line is a benchmark for English shoemaking, combining premium materials with hand-finished details. These are ready to wear and built to last, perfect for cocktail receptions or elevated smart casual attire for the office.
