We've rebuilt our classic Adrian tassel loafer using luxurious Ambassador leather, a tumbled material with an oiled finish and a soft handle that makes slipping into an Original Dr. Martens silhouette even easier. The sole is secured with DM's yellow welt stitching and marked with our signature grooving pattern. The first DM's shoe inspired by subcultures. The Adrian loafer rolled off the production line in the 70s — fusing mod-like smartness with Dr. Martens-level durability. Ambassador is a heavyweight and oily leather that's been tumbled for added character. Clean with a damp cloth and care with Dr. Martens Wonder Balsam. The DMS sole is a cornerstone of Dr. Martens construction. A two-tone PVC sole marked with our signature grooving and our unique tread. Our Goodyear-welted lines are heat-sealed and reinforced with our signature welt stitch.
