What is the “Bench Made Process” used by Tricker’s?

One of the most appealing aspects of the manufacturing process at Tricker’s is the “bench-made” method. Generally, the responsibility for manufacturing shoes is divided according to the process. In the case of Trickers, however, one craftsman handles each pair of shoes from start to finish. The name “bench-made” comes from the fact that the same craftsman sits at the same “bench” to make each shoe.

A pair of shoes created by a top-class craftsman through more than 200 processes contains a certain responsibility and soul. (Some people say that there are individual differences in Tricker’s shoes, which may be due to this.) And of course, high manufacturing technology alone does not make a shoe a first-rate leather shoe. For the leather, they use carefully selected calfskin leather from calves less than six months old, and high-quality oak (hardwood) leather for the sole. Tricker’s quality can only be achieved by shoes made with carefully selected materials and bench-made by skilled craftsmen.

Trickers’ quality and sturdiness are based on the rugged line

Tricker’s shoes have a rugged atmosphere and style that no other leather shoe brand can produce, with the chunky, thick, rounded form represented by the 4497S last (wooden pattern) and the thick double sole that you can tell at a glance will not easily wear out. Even men who wear more expensive luxury dress shoes such as John Lobb and Edward Green wear Tricker’s shorts and boots, not to mention those who are obsessed with this fascination and only wear Tricker’s, are not unusual. Although the quality is undoubtedly high, there are many who say that they are rough when compared to, say, Japanese-made shoes of the same price. However, the reason why people continue to love Tricker’s shoes is because they have a unique presence that cannot be summed up in one word, “rugged.

What is also noteworthy is the manufacturing site. When one hears the words “royal warrant,” one might imagine a group of dour, English gentleman-like craftsmen, but surprisingly, British rock music is played inside the factory, and craftsmen with heavy tattoos on their arms can be seen working to the rhythm of the music. Perhaps the charm of Tricker’s lies in the fact that it is not decorated in any strange way. As mentioned above, they use a bench-made manufacturing system, so it is good to look at your own pair of Trickers and wonder, “What kind of craftsman made these shoes? What kind of craftsman made these shoes?

For men who are looking for “a long relationship with leather shoes, a game, and drama,” this may be a “very possible” choice.

Trickers’ Charm: Leather Aging

The high-quality calf leather, “storm welt” to prevent water from seeping inside, strong “double leather sole,” and the more practical “Dynaite sole” and “Command sole” make Tricker’s boots and shorts a sturdy and long-wearing partner. Another appeal of Trickers boots and shorts is that the leather will change over time as they are worn in, rather than being worn out.
