Weejun

When a brand name becomes so omnipresent that it literally takes over what the item literally is, you know you a winner on your hands. There are items available for sale like Kleenex which has become synonymous with tissues, Levi's has done the same with Denim Jeans as well as Dockers with Khaki pants. Another brand name that made it into the club is Weejun. If you are familiar with shoes, specifically penny loafers, Weejun is Bass Shoes brand name for their mocassin construction loafers and has become synonymous with penny loafers. The two now are completely interchangeable. Allthough you buy weejun shoes in kilt tassle and tassle only style, the name weejun has become the name for penny loafers in the manner that is no different than asking someone if they have some Kleenex. It takes a special shoe that develops such a strong following to become the name for an item and Weejun is no different. You see Bass Shoes first came out with the Weejun back in the early 1930s when Mr. Bass was in Europe on vacation and saw some Norwegians wearing a type of shoe he had never seen before. He basically made an interpretation and the Weejun was born. It didn't take very long before you saw College Students wearing weejuns on their feet and they became hugely popular. So next time you refer to a product make sure that you think about whether that product is what the name is or if that is what the brand is. Shop for Weejun Loafers Here.
