Established in 1876 by George Henry Bass of Wilton Maine, G.H.BASS began with a man on a simple mission- To make the best possible shoe for the purpose in which it will be used. In 1936, G.H.BASS. put a stylish spin on a Norwegian farm shoe designed for "loafing in the field," and playfully named them Weejuns- introducing the world's first penny loafer. Over the past 140 years, G.H.BASS. has been found on the feet of some of the worlds most influential people all while staying true to their roots and continuing to find new ways to marry the timeless with today.
