G.H. Bass and Buck Mason are back with a restock of the black Larson Loafer alongside a new brown colorway.
Rooted in the legacy of the original Weejuns, the footwear company noted that the update builds on a true Ivy staple, reinterpreted through Buck Mason’s West Coast lens.
Originally launched in 1936, the G.H. Bass Weejuns became a defining symbol of American Ivy style, worn across campuses, coastlines, and generations of everyday dressers. This collaboration continues that legacy, reviving the core black style while introducing a new expression in brown.

Built in traditional moccasin construction, the Larson features full-grain, hand-stitched leather uppers, a subtly squared-off toe, and a leather outsole with a stacked heel. The black returns with its matte, broken-in finish, while the brown introduces tonal variation. The models are finished with a natural leather footbed with dual-brand debossing.

This release comes just one month after G.H. Bass teamed up with Aritzia on a new shoe collection. For this tie-up the duo took on the classic penny loafer and offered it in two distinct styles, the Milton and the Spence.
These two collaborations are one of the first created for G.H. Bass under the supervision of Aldo Product Services. Last April, Aldo Product Services, a division of the Aldo Group, inked a deal with G-III Apparel Group to become the strategic licensing partner for the footwear brand.
Under the terms of the seven-year exclusive licensing agreement, Aldo Product Services will design, manufacture, distribute, market and sell G.H. Bass footwear, bags and small leather goods starting in the spring/summer 2026 season.
The deal also gives Aldo Group the rights to distribute G.H. Bass products across authorized retail channels in North America. This partnership also includes the management of the e-commerce platform, Ghbass.com. G-III previously had the brand’s operations in-house prior to this deal.
The new G.H. Bass for Buck Mason collection, which retails for $295, is now available on Ghbass.com, Buckmason.com, and select Buck Mason stores.
