Swain Boots are made by Rodrigo Luis Brito Mendes, a third generation bootmaker based in Lisbon, Portugal. Rodrigo spent most of his adulthood working in IT and didn’t return to the roots laid down by his paternal grandfather in 1918 until recently, when he visited the old workshop that had been left untouched since his grandfather’s passing.
All the old tools and sewing machines where still there, with some old versions of the original boots – and Rodrigo was struck with an idea. He decided to revive the company formed by his father’s father, and so he cleared out the workshop and began to prepare for a limited production run.
Ben Branch has had his work featured on CNN, Popular Mechanics, the official Smithsonian Magazine, Road & Track Magazine, the official Pinterest blog, the official eBay Motors blog, BuzzFeed, and many more.
Silodrome was founded by Ben back in 2010, in the years since the site has grown to become a world leader in the alternative and vintage motoring sector, with millions of readers around the world and hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
