Flint and Tinder x Rancourt & Co. Beef Roll Penny Loafer

Story

Made-in-Maine loafers, handsewn from genuine bison leather

Rancourt & Co. is the real deal—a family business who’ve been making handsewn, moc-style shoes in the same Lewiston, Maine, factory since 1967. We teamed up on the Beef Roll to put our spin on their iconic loafer with full-grain bison leather sourced from Chicago. From the distinctive texture of the leather itself down to the natural rubber Lactae Hevea outsole, this is a standout on the shoe rack, but feels like a pair of broken-in sneakers when the rubber meets the road.

About Rancourt & Co.

At first glance, it’s not hard to see that Rancourt & Co. makes great shoes here in the United States—maybe some of the best, provided you’ve been lucky enough to own a pair. But take a deeper look at the Rancourt story and you’ll discover the resurrection of a legacy of American manufacturing in Lewiston, Maine, following a near-catastrophic off-shoring of the town’s vital workforce. It took Kyle Rancourt and his father going after their dream of starting a shoe company to help preserve the former glory of Lewiston, and reinforce Maine’s place in the pantheon of superlative leather goods. Each pair is cut and sewn over 100+ steps by skilled shoemakers, some of whom have been on the job for decades. And to this day, the Rancourts themselves still check every handmade pair before they ship out of the factory.
