About Us

 

Have a Crush On Retro. Built to Last. Worn with Pride.

At Crush On Retro (COR), we’re not just a brand—we’re an invitation to fall in love with timeless style. We offer a curated collection of heritage workwear and boots for those who have a passion for the enduring appeal of retro aesthetics and uncompromising quality.

 

Our Origin: A Love Affair with Lasting Quality

Crush On Retro was born from a simple idea: that everyone should be able to experience the thrill of owning exceptionally well-made, heritage-style gear without the prohibitive price tag.

We’re obsessed with the classics—the patterns, materials, and construction methods that stood the test of time. That’s why we go directly to the source, partnering with skilled artisans to craft pieces from the world’s finest full-grain leathers, sturdy hardware, and rugged fabrics. By focusing on what truly matters and cutting out the middleman, we deliver heirloom-quality craftsmanship at a radically accessible price. Let yourself fall in love with gear that gets better with age.

 

Crafted for Your Retro Passion

Every boot, jacket, and piece of gear from COR is designed for those who appreciate the story behind the stitch.

  • A Nod to the Past: Our designs are inspired by the golden era of workwear and heritage styles—think functional, honest, and built for real life.
  • COR Craftsmanship: We’re devoted to the details that define durability: Goodyear welting for resoleable boots, double-needle stitching, and vegetable-tanned leathers that develop a rich, unique patina. This is investment dressing, not fast fashion.
  • For the Modern Adventurer: Whether you’re on a urban exploration or a weekend getaway, COR equips you with versatile, rugged style that performs as good as it looks.

 

More Than a Brand: It's a Philosophy

We believe in a more intentional way of living and dressing:

  • Invest in Icons: Buy one incredible piece that will be with you for years, not a dozen that will be forgotten in a season.
  • Love the Journey: We celebrate the wear and tear. Every scuff and fade tells your story, making your COR gear uniquely and authentically yours.
