• The John Lofgren Bootmaker Chelsea boots are a masterclass in timeless design and construction. Entirely made in Japan, these boots take inspiration from the original 19th-century design by Victorian-era bootmaker J. Sparkes-Hall, who first patented them as "paddock" boots. Later popularized in Chelsea, London as "Chelsea Boots," John Lofgren's interpretation pays homage to this rich heritage with historically accurate construction and materials built to last. The JLB Chelsea boot features Horween Chromexcel uppers, Japanese cowhide lining, heavy-duty elastic gussets, a full-length backstay, 360-degree storm welt, and American-made Vibram soles and heels.

• Hailing from California, John Lofgren's passion for vintage fashion led him to Japan, where he established his inaugural vintage store, "Honky Tonk Company" (H.T.C.), in 2000. Recognizing the superior quality of vintage-inspired new productions compared to the originals, John transitioned to crafting his own line. His creations draw inspiration from timeless classics, featuring contemporary fits and crafted from the finest materials under ethical conditions.
