I thoroughly enjoy your off topic vlogs. I love my 1953's and currently saving for another pair .

How does the size run on these? Do you wear your typical US/UK size or do you size down? Thanks!

Well pardon us, Mr. Gucci Loafers.

Why can I not find the light natural tan leather?! :(

Nice video! What's the background music so Catchy and made the video vibe well!

Hellllll yeah Anna and Christian, this Off-Topic just gets better and better 🙌

so easy to watch: the outdoors, the energy, love this channel

Great episode and wonderful original insight and perspective - thanks for sharing!

Where did you get the red button down, and the light green sweater from? Big fan of both.

Do you know the length of the vamp? its not written on their site. Thanks

Incredible review, Christian! I have always wanted to get a Gucci loafer, this review makes that decision that much easier.

You really deserve way more subscribers. Amazing as always!

Bravo to the great video 👏🏽. A lot of people hating on the brand and not quite sure why. I’m a shoe collector but my true passion is GUCCI. What’s summer without a great horsebit loafer! Whether in a driver or in the 1953 line, it’s money well spent. Personally, I own over 30 pairs of just the horsebits. Over 100+ in all GUCCI shoes and I’ve never regretted it. More vids please!

love the production of this video. very professional and captivating

My father has been in the shoes industry for over 30 years now, and out of being surrounded by superb footwear for a majority of my life, I can confidently say Crockett and Jones, Church’s, Salvatore Ferragamo, and even Magnanis make fabulous, qualitatively brilliant foot wear ! Gucci and LV both, while still being very highly respected brands are somehow falling short on durability . I know it’s not the first thing you look at when you spend 700-1000$s on shoes, but you still want them to be durable . They’re no longer the company’s of the past. Their leather isn’t the same. Their QC isn’t the same . You can physically feel a difference in quality over the past 10-15 years i’d say. Yes I’d buy a pair, but knowing fully well they won’t last me as long as any of my others 😃

Love Crockett & Jones. Their 'Harvard' penny loafer in shell cordovan is a great alternative to the Gucci horsebit. But it is true, English shoes just look and feel more dressy, while you could pull off Gucci loafers in shorts and without socks. Church's quality has gone downhill massively since they got bought out by Prada around the 2000s...

$920 now in Nov. 2023 --- I will pick up a pair for Christmas. I remember seeing the ads in my Mom's T&C magazine and wanting them back in the '80s. And here I am, going to get them (black with gold horsebit) many decades later. Wearing my Cartier Santos while watching your fine video - thank you. I also love that they share the same birthyear as my beloved Rolex Submariner (I have the Starbucks).

I own 2 pairs of 1953 horse bit penny loafers and let me tell you they arent that comfortable, they feel like walking in wooden planks, very expensive and yatch like wooden planks but still there are shoes more comfortable out there for a better price, that being said these shoes were a hand me down and they are about 10 years old and I still rock them with no signs of giving up. Love em

Excellent video Christian, I’m surprised by the amount of hate you got, although many people have brought up the Diminishing lack of attention to quality which I would say is true, you had many other good points of why they are worth it. I adore the Gucci horsebit and am so glad to see a video about them from you. Please continue to make off topics. By far one of your best videos yet I’m production quality as well.

I personally would probably never go for the hyped shoes just due to the fact that the price is too much for what you get. But this is a great video either way, loved it

Great video Christian. I have a few pairs and like mine. These dress up like no other and, if you ever need to, will command a decent preowned price if you sell them on eBay. I bought and resold a pair of LV loafers a few years ago and actually made money. Anyone who goes down the “there’s better quality” road forgets to consider resale and the intangible feeling of owning an icon.

TheDutchSandwich not just that, but these will last a life time with proper care. In my mind, these are an investment, no different than a watch. Right when I got my first pair, I could see the huge difference in leather from other brands. Bottom line, if you can’t take care of your shoes you shouldn’t buy these. They will last a very long time.

I can’t relate to watches but, the history and story telling reels me in. Glad I followed a random Reddit link

What kind of glasses are you wearing?

Awesome video, would like to see more like this.

Great Video, Christian! I‘ve enjoyed it so much! 😍 I fell in love with these „vintage“ light brown (cognac) loafers at 2:15. Could you name me the exact model? That would be great! Thanks in advance. Have a great day! Max

These shoes are really durable and serviceable and will last you a very long time. I also like Salvatore Ferragamo loafers, mine still looks new after 5 years!

What glasses are you wearing?

you convinced me that there were better shoes to buy. I like Trenton and Heath who actually take apart a shoe to show how well constructed it is.

I just can't imagine anything better than a nice oxford, a comfortable pair of chinos, gucci loafers and a yg 1803 daydate. Like, omg.

Love the off - topic but also its important to pair your watch with style. About the shoes i think they are good classic and timeless shoes but not for 600+ dollars. I would buy them vintage for better value and and quality. In person they don't look as good as Carmina not sure about comfort and how it wears.

great video!

But it seems hard to find those classic Gucci loafers in the shoe range now under the new styling direction by the designer Alessandro

I have to say, I love your videos and I'm really learning about the best assets to have and invest in. Peace and love to all....

Pairs well with a Diadora tracksuit, Tony.

Hi Chris, in my opinion Carmina isn't that comfortable as Gucci 1953. I just got my 1953 model horsebit loafer, it is very comfortable, same level as my VASS oxford :), and if you want to buy a pair of horsebit loafer, Gucci seems like the only choice since it is original. Before finishing the purchase, I can't decide whether I should go for a pair of Baudoin&Lange or a Gucci 1953, but since Baudoin&Lange is glued and Gucci is using a refined version of Blake Stich, I choose the Gucci and never regret for the decesion. I hope you can do some reviews on Baudoin&Lange sagan loafer in the future, maybe compare it with Gucci? Cheers!

Also if you could do a video on Dita sun glasses if possible?

I couldn't care less about Gucci loafers, but off topic, your way of telling a story really works for me. you could probably talk about coasters and lace tips and still keep my interest long enough to watch the entire video. good work!

Hello Christian. May I make a recommendation. Anything of this calibre in terms of shoes must be looked after with a good pair of cedar wood shoe trees I swear by mine. They are an invaluable tool for looking after your expensive footwear. An never wear the same pair twice in two days. Give them some rest time. Loving the Day Date too. Ultra cool sir.

This is so delightfully pretentious. Such wonderful delivery. Awesome construction, editing, and script. The oyster party b-roll with your family is perfect. That said, you and your dad need to iron your shirts. The placket needs to be crisp. (observation from several videos)

This is a good video and review. If you don’t want to watch it then why did you click on it?

Christian, please do a video on RM Williams boots before Gentlemen's Gazette beats you to the punch! (if you've ever heard of them)

Damn you Christian, now I want a pair!

Bad ass video man

Gucci loafers are a massive waste of money, the quality of the calfskin alone makes it not worth the price. That being said, the horsebit loafer is imo the greatest contribution to fashion gucci has ever made, and even though they did it first, I have to say that many companies now, make a much more elegant, higher quality horsebit loafer than gucci nowadays.

Eloquently said!!!
