Old House Provisions
Old House Provisions is a new kind of menswear store, stubbornly focused on "the make." From our own bespoke shoes, made on premises by founder, Drew Altizer, to tailoring and workwear from our favorite brands, everything here is the best that can be found, often without exorbitant brand premiums. The aim of Old House Provisions is to bring the pursuit of perfection in artisanal shoemaking and menswear back to the Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia area.
Meet Drew Altizer, Owner and Shoemaker
Drew is an Alexandria native and a traditionally trained bespoke shoemaker. He opened Old House Provisions in December 2024 to create a broader platform to share the beauty of artisanal crafts, not only in the finished product, but in the makers that craft them and skills they’ve honed over years of obsessive training.
Given the lack of shoemakers in the U.S., he had to travel all over the world to train. While he was primarily schooled in the Florentine tradition, he also worked under British and Japanese masters, and rounds out his experience with additional Hungarian and American influences.
He’s inspired by styles and methods from history and the craftsmen and women who contributed in a small way to the course of human events.
