Why Craftsmanship Matters

Today’s generation is manifesting hunger for the authentic – whether it’s eating organic, supporting small business, or celebrating spectacular artistry. A desire for craftsmanship is at the forefront – an appreciation of the highest standards and those who’ve spent a lifetime cultivating them. Carhartt (clothing & outdoor gear) specifically termed the call to craftsmanship as a “rebuilding” of a nation, the “road home from a throwaway world.”

More Than (Just) Good Design

Craftsmanship is more than good design; it’s a wholehearted commitment to a tradition of excellence – to creative, enduring, breathtaking products. In a recent Harley-Davidson (motorcycles) commercial, it was phrased this way:

“What is the going rate for the work of the American craftsman? How much value does heritage add to technology? If every detail fits together perfectly, how much more is the whole worth (rather) than the sum of the parts? If riding gives you a feeling that’s impossible to explain, is it possible to calculate how much that’s worth? How do you measure the value of becoming part of something that is bigger than yourself?”
