Bandido Boot in Black Teacore Bison

Details Sizing Brand Info Handcrafted exclusively for Blue Owl, the Bandido is a stripped down western boot designed for everyday wear. This iteration features a textured vegetable-tanned bison leather in a "teacore" finish. With wear over time, the black surface of the leather with scrape away to reveal the leather's natural brown, tea-coloured interior. Blending traditional western and classic work-boot crafting techniques, the boots combine a tight 120 degree Goodyear welt construction with a brass-nailed waist for a rugged yet refined resoleable bottom. The welt stitching is further strengthened by "Punto Marcado", an old-school bootmaking technique that involves hand tooling each individual stitch to ensure durability. Finished with rattlesnake-skin-inspired Vibram half soles, leather-trimmed elastic gusset, and tapered cuban heel.
