When it comes to wool and leather, it doesn’t get much better than Pennsylvania’s very own Woolrich clothing and boots. Despite what you might think, those aren’t just heavy materials for the winter, and Woolrich is setting out to prove that with a spring and summer collection that’s light in both weight and color.

Woolrich is known for their comfortable and versatile clothing collections, built for everything from the great outdoors to the office, and this year’s collection is no exception. With a focus on exploration and new experiences, their fresh flannel shirts will take you straight from work to your campsite without stopping at home.

Of course, you’re here to read about shoes, and that’s an area where Woolrich won’t let you down. One of the highlights of the collection is the Lane Chukka Boot, a classic style with modern amenities. The suede uppers are soft and pliable, with a unique nappy suede texture that’s sure to help you stand out on a hike. The inside is lined with smooth, fine-grain leather and suede that quickly forms to your foot for a snug, comfortable fit

But these aren’t just chukkas, they’re chukka boots, and Woolrich wants you to know it’s okay to take them out and explore. A heavy duty Vibram outsole makes up the sole of the Lane, for a firm grip wherever you may end up. They’ll last you just about forever, too. The tough rubber outsole can be replaced if you put too many miles on it, but the leather on top will only continue to mature and gain character as you take them on new journeys with you.

You can browse the full range of Woolrich clothing, footwear, and accessories on their website.

Handmade shoes and sneakers, however, are meticulously crafted by experts set on ensuring an exceptional end result: a pair of kicks that prize longevity over short-term sufficiency. The materials used in handmade shoes are high-end, polished, and sophisticated.

Hublot’s sapphire Big Bang gets an icy new color
Hublot reveals new Big Bang in Glacier Blue
Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.
