Old Gringo Boots - Transcendent Fashion - Timeless Quality
THE UNION OF STYLE & CRAFT
Since 2000, Old Gringo has been focused on a single goal: creating western wear that combines the best materials with the skills of exceptional craftsmen. Beautiful designs and comfort are not accidents. It’s the result of applying a contemporary flair for fashion to a time-honored handcrafted art.
As we continue to pursue this goal, we strive to make the OLD GRINGO brand something that our Customers feel embodies style and quality. Our success is due to the support of the great retail stores that carry the OLD GRINGO brand and the public who love the products as much as we do.
HISTORY
Old Gringo was founded in 2000 by Yan Ferry and Ernie Tarut. They decided to combine Yan’s bootmaking and design skills with Ernie’s 30 years of experience in leather manufacturing to create boots of superior style and quality. This endeavor was named OLD GRINGO.
OLD GRINGO opened its first factory in the fall of 2000, and the first collection of original, vintage and retro styles was available within six months. The boots were well received in the market by traditional western outlets, as well as fashion boutiques, catalogs and shoe stores. The styles bridged the divide between western style and pure fashion.
After two years of ever-increasing demand, Old Gringo factory built a larger factory in Leon, GTO Mexico from which it continues to produce its collection of fashion-forward western wear.
THE OLD GRINGO 110-STEP PROCESS
One hundred-ten individual steps, performed by our skilled craftsmen, are the foundation for our products. Many of our craftsmen have been perfecting their craft for over 20 years. The consistent application of these skills to the inherently time intensive boot-making process is required to make superior quality boots. To meet the rigorous demands of our designs, we produce and tan our own leathers in colors, textures and finishes developed by Yan Ferry. After carefully selecting the finest grade of leathers, the leathers undergo a meticulous tanning process. Each of the next steps, including cutting the upper materials, pre-fitting shafts and vamps, fancy stitch design, assembling the insoles, outsoles, last and uppers, the hand-driven lemon pegs and meticulous finishing, are considered critical in the construction of the perfect boot. Every step in the process requires craftsmanship.
