It builds Goodyear-welted leather boots, including the Captain cap-toe, the President, the Duke and the women's Duchess and Legend Chelseas, positioned as durable work-boot construction with dress-boot polish. Production runs in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, where the brand opened its own in-house factory in 2025, using US, Mexican and European tannery leathers. Most styles sit around $199-229, sold online plus one Manhattan store.
