Modehistoria
Founded in 1892 by Albert Weinbrenner in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Thorogood began as a manufacturer of specialized boots for the trades. The brand gained significance for introducing job-specific footwear, such as the Hike 'n Camp boot in 1964, which became a standard for the Boy Scouts of America. Historically, Thorogood has maintained a role in American industrial history, transitioning from essential safety equipment to a staple in the global heritage fashion movement.
