DESCRIPTION
Every so often, a leather appears that feels genuinely extraordinary. Before anything else, it’s important to note that no bears were harmed in the making of this boot. The hide was ethically sourced, found in the wild after the animal had passed naturally. Though the circumstance is unfortunate, it offered a rare chance to use a remarkable material with respect rather than let it go to waste.
Lofgren transformed that opportunity into a truly exceptional boot. The leather displays subtle shifts in colour depending on the light and will evolve beautifully as it softens and breaks in, developing a depth and character unique to each pair.
Only an extremely limited number were produced, and we’re fortunate to offer a select few. This is an uncommon, collectible piece of craftsmanship.
