Started by one man, William Green, Grenson opened their first factory with some of the finest shoe craftsman in the business in 1874. Made the old-fashioned way from skin to box, every Grenson shoe is “Goodyear Welted,” the age old technique that makes the shoe more robust for longer wear. It also means the shoes have the ability to be repaired without losing their shape.
For Bernard Gantmacher, it all began with the shirt. Proving to be a master at the sewing machine, he was quickly recognized as a skilled shirt maker. Trending in the 50s, the button down collared shirt is now a classic. Teaming up with American fashion designer Michael Bastian, this Fall 2013 collection, Gant by Michael Bastian, is inspired by Norman Rockwell and provides an all-American vibe.
