JOHN LOFGREN BOOTMAKER

JOHN LOFGREN BOOTMAKER

"John Lofgren Bootmaker" was founded by John Lofgren, a resident of California, USA.
The origin of his vision dates back to the early 1980s, when he happened to visit a vintage shop and felt a deep connection to the “essence of things” and “tradition” cherished there, as well as the “quality” and “style” of “the good old days” brought to life through the exceptional craftsmanship of master artisans.

The items crafted by “John Lofgren Bootmaker” are designed for those who can appreciate the difference between “fashion”—which fades with time—and “style”—which endures beyond time—and who are moved beyond words by the natural indigo patina and fading seen in jeans, as well as the aged luster and history of well-worn leather boots.
When the select few who share this sentiment get their hands on a “John Lofgren Bootmaker” product, they will likely feel a connection and a sense of emotion through the item, linking them to the many artisans who crafted it.
