It's Friday and we're here with some behind the scenes shots from the production floor. We build our boots here in Eugene, Oregon and we're very proud of our process and the end result, and we think you will enjoy some behind the scenes action.
The very last of the Stone Rambler and Sand Teton Stag is in production.
The rich caramel of Sesame Double Shot in upland form, awaiting hardware placement.
Cypress is a workhorse of a leather, especially for a "smooth out" leather.
This is the rich chestnutty brown of Autumn Cypress.
One of the most popular leathers in our taller Upland: Black Waxed Flesh.
Excited for these to finish up in production, an indominitable leather in natural olive green.
Every step requires skilled hands.
When a robot can do this we'll let you know.
This is the previous (Autumn Cypress) boot after lasting and welt has been attached, but prior to trimming the upper.
Adhesive being applied prior to midsole being placed.
After trimming the excess upper leather, and filling the cavity with cork, the midsole is adhered, then stitched.
Setting up the outsole stitcher with thread.
He makes it look a lot easier than it is to get this clean of outsole stitching.
To get that clean clean profile, we do a highly-finessed final sanding.
This leather ages very well, you're going to love it.
We're sitting pretty on our stock of these work mocs in Black Oiled Rough Out, a no-bullshit, tough-as-nails rough out leather. Set it. Forget it.
It's a vibe for sure.
With its longer vamp, the formal last is true to name.
Hopefully this was an enjoyable insight into our process. Check back next week to see more.
