Harry Smith Shorey was a handsewer for L.L. Bean in the early 1900's. Nestled in downeast Maine, near the shores of the Passamaquoddy Bay, his family carries on his name as a purveyor of fine moccasins and other time honored footwear with Quoddy Trail. Cutting, skiving, stitching, and handsewing all done...by hand, of course. I've always hankered for shoes that required good skillful skiving. I'll be springing for the gum soles as well.
