This series uses tough, oil-treated leather from Horween Leather Company, a long-established tannery in Chicago, USA, known for its rich aging process. The leather used is "Chromexcel," which is frequently used for work boots. The interior features a familiar cotton-based check fabric. Despite its simple and casual design, the series is crafted using a labor-intensive manufacturing process.
GANZO, the highest-quality line available anywhere, pursues the concept of “genuine” throughout the entire process, from the selection of materials, to cutting, thinning, sewing and polishing - without compromise. The persistence and energy of takumi (expert workmen) delivers products created by the hands of craftsman who are well-versed in Japanese culture and techniques.
GANZO offers three distinct types of cordovan, each with its own unique charm. Here, we introduce the key characteristics of each series.
In Tuscany's Santa Croce, the workshop of ROCADO integrates these time-honored leatherworking methods, primarily used with cowhide, to craft fine cordovan leather.
