From the brand In 1892, Albert H. Weinbrenner opened a cobblery in Milwaukee with his partner, Joseph Peffer, serving jobbing trades. In 1900, the Albert H. Weinbrenner Co. was formed. By 1916, the company had become the leading provider of leather cutting machines in the US. They introduced the "job-fitted" concept in 1917 and supplied boots to the US Army in WWI. In 1938, the company ventured into safety footwear production, and in 1942, they celebrated 50 years in business. During WWII, they exclusively produced military footwear and gained popularity among civilians as well. In 1943, the company workers organized under the International Boot & Shoe Workers Union, establishing a strong relationship that continues to this day. In 1964, they introduced the Official Boy Scout Boot, known as the Hike n' Camp, which became their best-selling boot. In 1988, the company was purchased by a local group, leading to the creation of the "ThoroGard" division for high-tech occupational safety footwear. In 1992, they celebrated 100 years in business. In 2000, the employees took ownership of the company through ESOP, and in 2001, they donated work boots to Ground Zero following the September 11 attacks. In 2014, they introduced the 1892 Heritage line of handcrafted lifestyle boots. In 2017, they celebrated their 125th anniversary and committed to upgrading their domestic facilities. In 2022, they opened a new factory in Merrill, WI, and launched their first western wear product, Thorogood's Square Toe Wellingtons.
