The penny loafer originated in the 1930s when GH Bass started producing loafers with a distinctive strip of leather across the saddle with a diamond cut-out. The shoes were called Weejuns, sort of a play on the word Norwegian, the shoes then worn by Norwegian farmers being the inspiration for the loafer.
The term “penny loafer” was coined when American prep school students took to inserting a penny into the slit of each shoe, enough money to make an emergency phone call in the 1930s. The name stuck and the practice of inserting pennies continues to this day, even more so since the recent disappearance of our Canadian penny. Penny loafers are among the most popular shoes for any man who is committed to a classic but leisurely appearance.
