Bridlen — New York

Bridlen is the brainchild of two seasoned shoemakers who set out to craft a line of classic men’s shoes that would be accessible to a larger audience. Designed to appeal to the discerning shoe connoisseur, Bridlen combined Mr. Watanabe’s masterful craftsmanship with Mr. Hasan’s meticulous eye for detail. Bridlen’s goal is to incorporate as many bespoke elements as possible into its factory-made Goodyear-welted shoes.
