I’m excited to review a brand called Jay Butler. It was created by a fellow menswear enthusiast named Justin Jeffers.

Justin is known for his somewhat aggressive tastes (red velvet jacket, anyone?) and his unapologetically bad grammar.

But he really knows his stuff when it comes to menswear. I especially like his product reviews, which tend to be very detailed and honest.

Before I try a new made-to-measure suit company, for example, I always check to see if Justin has reviewed them.

I was excited when Justin told me he was launching his own brand. He’s a shoe snob who has an unhealthy obsession with loafers, and Jay Butler reflects this.

I’ll share my thoughts about JB in minute, but first take a look at the shoes:

If you can’t tell, I get a little carried away during these “photo shoots”. What can I say, guess I have a thing for suede…

Why do I think you’ll like Jay Butler? It comes down to these three reasons:

Reason #1: Reasonable Prices

If you’re looking to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on shoes, there are plenty of ways to do that. But for most of us, price matters.

Jay Butler loafers start at $145, which is very reasonable, especially for shoes with Blake construction and hand-stitched uppers.

Plus, shipping and returns are free.

Reason #2: Small Sizes

Ever fall in love with a pair of shoes, only to discover that it’s not available in your size? I wear a men’s 7 (US) is most brands, and this happens to me all the time.

Jay Butler uses a unisex sizing system that goes from 4 to 14.

Reason #3: Stylish Loafers

Every man should have at least one pair of comfortable, stylish loafers in his wardrobe.

They’re a step up from boat shoes, and they can be dressed up or down.

These brown suede Shipley Tie loafers are perfect for spring, summer or fall. I’ve mostly been wearing them sockless (or with no show socks) with chinos or shorts.
