(750)

The White's Boots tradition has its roots in the logging country of west Virginia back before the Civil War. It was there that Otto White's father & grandfather made calked boots for the logging industry. Maries, Idaho. Then in 1915 they moved to Spokane, Washington where, under Otto's guidance, the business flourished. Otto White's desire was a simple one: Make the finest work boots in the world!

This single-minded ambition drove Otto to excell at his craft. His insistence on quality infected the workers of his growing business too, and the White's reputation grew with every pair of boots that came out of the shop. The hard bitten Northwest loggers became White's Boots biggest fans. They were tough on boots, but they had never seen anything like the tough as nails boots that Otto and his crew put together. The durability of White's Boots, their incredible "Arch-Ease" support and Otto's pride in his product, gave White's Boots a reputation that is the envy of boot manufacturers everywhere. Otto White remained active in the shop until his death at age 91 in 1972. Because of Otto's unbending standards of quality and his ability to train others, by instilling in them the same pride of craftsmanship, the quality and tradition of White's Boots continues today. When you come to own a pair of White's, you'll sense that these are no ordinary boots. They are made of the very finest materials in the world and built with skills passed down through generations of craftsmen who are proud of the name Otto White.

Walking through Horween Leather Co. in Chicago, IL, your senses adjust to the sounds of the factory, to the drumming of machines, the movement of hides—to the smell of rich, earthy, almost ancient elements. Take one look around, and you’ll question how long some machines have been there, how long some processes have remained unchanged, how long some hands have honed their movements. To get to the caliber of Horween, the answer has to be a while, a good while.

Proudly passed down through five generations for more than 100 years, Horween Leather Co. is one of the most impressive stories of American manufacturing. Still operating in the original building on Elston Ave in Chicago, which they bought in the early 1920s, the factory feels frozen in time in some respects while also showcasing the art of carefully preserved tradition and thoughtful innovation. With a product rich in character and history, they are the source of some of the finest leather in the world. Welcome to Horween.

James Dean had a relationship with motorcycles that went beyond transportation. The Triumph was freedom. It was identity. It was the purest version of himself. 

Whether he was carving through the California hills or stepping off the bike and straight onto a film set, the boots on his feet were as much a part of him as anything else he wore.

Presenting, the James Dean by White’s Boots. Built by hand with our traditional Handsewn-Stitchdown construction, on the legacy of our 55 Arch Ease® Last, this exclusive limited edition style brings together elements of Jim’s favorite and most recognizable boots, alongside the 173 years of White’s Boots heritage.

Made with a special washed Chromexcel Leather from the legendary Horween Tannery, and offered in a fully custom size range, made-to-order, with unique details and White’s All-Leather construction, the James Dean boot has been built the hard way, because the best things always are.

*In this video, is a narration of a letter written in 1953, from James Dean to his first cousin Marcus Winslow Jr, who we were fortunate to work with on this project.
