Full Grain: Full-grain leather is the highest quality and most durable type of leather. It is made from the top layer of the hide, which contains the natural grain, giving it strength and longevity. Full-grain leather often develops a unique patina over time and is highly sought after for its quality.

Latigo: Drum dyed and hot stuffed with unique time-tested blend of waxes, oils and tallows. H Latigo is the newest addition to the Wickett & Craig of full-grain leather line. After drying, the H Latigo has an aniline finish applied to the grain to provide a slight resistance to aging. This finish is applied lightly to allow the H Latigo to reveal its natural pull-up and full grain beauty. In full weights, the H Latigo will have a gum pasted flesh to give your products the finest look and feel.

Wicket and Craig:  Superior leather since 1867. Wicket and Craig is a renowned tannery based in the United States known for its high-quality vegetable-tanned leather. They have a long history of producing top-notch leather products, including full-grain latigo leather, which is favored by craftsmen for its quality and durability. 

Crafted to endure, this boot is your ideal companion for urban adventures and outdoor exploration. Treat your feet to the luxury of latigo leather from Wicket and Craig and embark on your journey in unmatched comfort and rugged elegance.

A "Stitch Down Double Row" construction in shoe-making is a method where the sole of the shoe is stitched directly to the upper part of the shoe, and this stitching is done with two parallel rows of stitches. This construction technique is known for its durability and the fact that it allows the sole to be easily replaced if needed.

Here's a simplified explanation:

Imagine a shoe as having two main parts: the upper part (the part that covers your foot) and the sole (the part that touches the ground). In a "Stitch Down Double Row" construction, these two parts are joined together by sewing them with two lines of stitches, one on the top part of the sole and one on the bottom part of the upper. These stitches run in parallel rows, providing extra strength to the connection.

This method is favored because it makes the shoe more resilient and long-lasting. Plus, if the sole wears out over time, it can be removed and replaced with a new one, extending the life of the shoe. So, in simple terms, it's a robust way of stitching the sole to the upper part of the shoe for added durability and repairability.

Discovering Bordon: A Sustainable Footwear Revolution

Bordon, a Colombian footwear brand, was founded four years ago with the aim of offering high-quality footwear at affordable prices in their local market. Despite initial challenges, they gained recognition for their craftsmanship and choice of premium materials. In response to global challenges like Covid-19 and economic crises, Bordon shifted production to Colombia, leading to the creation of their 100% Made in Colombia collection. Their mission centers on environmental sustainability, artisan welfare, and customer satisfaction. By adopting a made-to-order approach and sourcing materials directly from suppliers, they reduce waste and costs, making it a brand committed to both style and conscious consumerism.
