Bit Shoe Style

The "bit" is the signature element of this distinguished loafer. It refers to the elegant, metal hardware that stretches across the vamp of the shoe, where a traditional penny loafer would have its leather strap. This polished metal ornament, often resembling a horse's snaffle bit, is what gives the shoe its unique character and name.
