Only the Finest Italian Leather Was Used for these Rare Clarks Originals Wallabees

Image used with permission by copyright holder

On Friday, May 18, 2018, famed footwear brand Clarks Originals released an extremely exclusive run of made-in-Italy Wallabee Boots. Using premium Janus Butt Suede (one of the world’s softest suedes) from British tannery Charles F. Stead, these special Wallabees are hand-numbered up to 365, the maximum amount that has been produced in each of the four exclusive colorways: light blue, black, orange, and maple.

These Limited Edition Wallabies may be sporting the softest suede in the world on the exterior, but what’s surrounding your feet on the inside? The lining is made of premium, super soft leather and the shoe signature crepe sole (upgraded from the original color to an antique amber).

Although we’re not exactly in boot season now, there’s no reason you can’t start planning ahead for autumn and winter. Remember, there are only 365 versions of each color, so if you’re even possibly thinking of buying a pair of these Clarks Originals Wallabees, you’re going to want to act fast.

The great thing about chukka boots — especially Wallabees — is that you can dress them up or down without worry. Since these are, without a doubt, one of the finest pairs of chukka boots we’ve seen in a few seasons, we highly recommend wearing these bad boys with a pair dark jeans, a light denim jacket, and a breezy button down. Add a pair of Clubmaster sunglasses and you’re ready for work or play.

Rolex has introduced a new, super-expensive watch covered in diamonds. What's new? Well, while we're used to this, and it doesn't exactly warrant front-page news, this introduction actually does. This new chapter for the brand unveils two new additions to the Rolex Daytona collection, and they're certainly more opulent in a subtle way compared to previous designs.
Rolex Daytona: Two new Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watches added to the collection

These new Rolex watches, which are part of the Cosmograph Daytona collection, are diamond-set models adorned with mother-of-pearl dials. Hearing about any Rolex watch covered in diamonds automatically evokes fantasies of extravagance and wealth, at least it does for us, but these new timepieces are remarkably restrained when it comes to a balance between bling and subtlety.

What exactly are limited edition watches?
Know the buzz word before you buy
Citizen watch in ground beans

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered why the rare piece of art could ever be worth the obscene amount of money the debonair art thief claims it's worth? It is simple, really. It comes down to the fact that it is rare. A truly original piece of art masterfully created by the very hand who conjured it up in their mind is something that cannot be recreated. The same kind of rare value exists in the watch world, too. There is an entire industry of limited edition watches that claim rarity rivaled only by the masterful artwork of Renaissance artists who can no longer create original pieces.

But what does it really mean to say that a watch is a limited edition? Does it truly mean that there is little chance of you walking into a party or a bar and running into the ever-embarrassing moment when your "rare" watch sits on the wrist of another...in the same room? Or does it mean they just want you to buy it quickly because they have numbers to make before the shareholders' meeting? Both are possible. As usual here at The Manual, we did the legwork to make sure are armed with the information you need before you click the BUY button and invest in a limited edition watch.
