THOROGOOD, AUTHENTIC TASTE

16 August 2014 | Shoes

Alla fine del 1880, nel retro del negozio di un calzolaio di Milwaukee, Albert Weinbrenner ha scelto di realizzare stivali da lavoro destinati ad un uso professionale. Esperienza, artigianalità e costante desiderio di innovazione sono ancora oggi alla base della produzione di Weinbrenner. Orgogliosamente Made in Usa, le American Heritage rappresentano la perfetta combinazione dell’artigianalità e del comfort che caratterizza i prodotti Thorogood. Ciascuno dei modelli evidenzia una robusta costruzione Goodyear Storm Welt: la suola interna è infatti cucita direttamente a quella esterna in gomma, rigorosamente Vibram®, in maniera tale da rendere ermetiche queste calzature. Le cuciture multiple in contrasto, emblema dell’elevata resistenza di questi work boot, disegnano l’intero profilo della scarpa.

In the late 1880's, from the back of his father's Milwaukee cobbler shop, a young Albert Weinbrenner set out to design specialized work boots for the new trade of telephone lineman working around the state of Wisconsin installing private and public exchanges. He was successful. Proudly ‘Made in the USA’ the American Heritage embodies the perfect combination of craftsmanship and comfort that characterises Thorogood products. Each model shows a robust Goodyear Storm Welt construction; in fact, the inner sole is directly sewn to the rubber external one, rigorously in Vibram®, so as to make the shoes absolutely waterproof. The multiple contrasting sewing ( quadruple at the points of greater stress), an emblem of the great resistance of these work boots, designs the whole outline of the shoes.

Questa rara pellicola muta, girata nel 1935, riprende l'originale film "Birth of a Hat" del 1920.

Fondata nel 1865, è la più grande e conosciuta fabbrica di cappelli al mondo. @Slalom Stores troverete moltissimi modelli Stetson, passate a trovarci!! Slalom Staff ;)

Birth of a Hat is an industrial short about, and sponsored by, the John B. Stetson Company. Founded by John Stetson in 1865, the company specializes in the mass manufacture of felt hats. Within ten years of its founding, Stetson developed the widely popular “Boss of the Plains” hat, the inaugural model of the now-traditional cowboy hat.
