Yuketen’s Moc Ischia interprets the traditional Italian bit loafer with a bolder punch effect portrayed by the large-gauge bit ornament and unrivaled quality through craftsmanship. Named after the charm of the Mediterranean island, the Yuketen Moc Ischia is a traditional Italian moccasin loafer made from full-grain leather and adorned with an oversize bit ornament, a design touch borrowed from equestrianism.
Each loafer is hand-crafted in Italy from select cuts of the soft and silky full-grain flesh-out leather from Opera Leather from Tuscany, Italy who have been specialized in making flesh-out leather and suede since the 70s. The leather is described as ‘flesh-out’ as it is full-grain leather that is flipped so that the flesh side of the leather faces outwards. The advantages of using full grain, flesh-out leather rather than split suede leathers are two fold; full grain leathers retain their structure, thickness and durability for long-lasting strength and the smooth grain side of the leather wears pleasantly against the skin, negating the need for additional liners. This way, the wearer enjoys the benefits of full grain leather and the pleasant aesthetic of the nappy, suede-like flesh side of the leather.
Beautiful, Difficult to find he right size! I am a size 12 US, Staff in 3 Stores were unclear as to whether the number, on the shoe, was in US, UK, or Italian size. Staff untrained in Shoe sales! I took a chance, buying them online, luckily they fit properly.
This shoe is handmade in Italy, when compare to Gucci horsebit loafer : this shoe is better quality!!
Couldn’t be happier…had eyes on the OG’s in the gucci loafers, found these and the looks and quality of leather couldn’t be any better. Just took some time to find the right fit.
