We gave you a brief rundown not too long ago (read it here) but Michael Williams over at ACL actually got the opportunity to visit the shop. Being the creative mastermind that he is, instead of pulling out an SLR, the man teamed up with Sean Sullivan to put together a video tour. Check it out after the jump. (more…)

If you’re ever in the Portland area, atop your list of to-dos has to be a visit to one of our favorite retailers, Winn Perry. The man behind the shop is Jordan Sayler, a young proprietor who’s been changing the way guys dress out in the Midwest. The stock is what you’d find at any of the distinguished New York-based shops we’ve turned you to in the past, and we’re led to believe the level of success is the same as well.
This interview crafted by Four + One Productions, gives people who may be interested a bit more introspective look at what it is that makes Jordan tick. Great work by director Jacob Hinmon and photographer Kelly James.

The Wolverine 1000 Mile 721LTD project is named after the original reference number for the 1000 Mile boot and commemorates the company’s 125 year+ history. Wolverine 1000 Mile teamed up with director Sean Sullivan to create a series of films which document the time-honored boot-making process.
Up first is a four-minute video that takes us behind the scenes with world-renowned leather tannery Horween. The good folks have operated out of the same Chicago factory since 1920, and are the producers of high quality shell cordovan leather for Wolverine and many other shoemakers. The video provides a glimpse into another era, proving to all that true craftsmanship can stand the test of time.
Our favorite videographer, Jake Davis, goes behind the scenes with American designer Billy Reid. The fellas had a sit down at the BR boutique in NYC where they discussed all things Billy Reid.
