If you're into moccasins or handsewns, as they're also referred to sometimes, you've probably come across moccasins from Arrow. Arrow is one of these small, family owned companies, that live a quiet existence, making extremely good products one at the time - at a good price even - and catering to a small, niche audience - mostly in Japan, it seems.
There hasn't been spent a dime on their website and ordering from them isn't really easy, however you can have your mocs made to your specifications. I like some of the make-ups, that I've seen over the years in Japan. My favourite is probably the ring boot with the crepe sole, however I for wearability I would most likely go for the regular moccasin.
I've pairs from Eastland (Rancourt), Quoddy, Yuketen, Russell Moccasin, and probably others, but I've still to invest in a pair from Arrow. I can't help but wonder, why I haven't done so yet.

Take a look at these stitches. Sewn by hand one stitch at the time.
The leather is very thick, but still very pliable, so it will mould to your feet.
This is a beast.
