The Dirigo Collection is built using true handsewn moccasin construction, held to the same uncompromising standards as every shoe that leaves our factory in Lewiston. Each style is purposefully designed around surplus and discontinued leathers and soles — materials with character, nothing wasted, and the value passed directly to you.

Dirigo Collection

Every Dirigo style begins with a material worth building around — surplus leathers and discontinued soles that meet our standards. Classic Rancourt patterns, reimagined. Made in Lewiston.
