A polished leather driver with the house's rubber sole and a sharper loafer attitude.

Story & heritage
The calfskin driver translates the Original's relaxed moccasin language into a cleaner leather shoe. It keeps the core Car Shoe formula — hand-stitched upper, driving sole, low profile — while adding a fringe and brass-coloured eyelets for a more dressed loafer character.
Because Car Shoe's fame rests on the patented 1963 rubber-nub moccasin, this style reads as a direct descendant rather than a separate line. It is the bridge between the driving shoe and a smart casual loafer.
Materials & craft
The official product specification lists a calfskin upper with an antique, distressed finish, leather lining, fringe detail, hand-stitched details, a leather insole with golden logo, classic brass-coloured metal eyelets, and a dotted rubber sole embedded onto the sole.
How to choose & style
This is the dressiest driver in the set. Treat it like a summer loafer: cropped chinos, white denim, open-collar shirts, and light jackets. The fringe adds movement, so keep the trouser hem clean and let the shoe carry the detail.
