Oregon and California team up for the perfect boots

When we talk about shoes, one of the most important factors isn’t how they look, or the materials, but the experiences you have in them. It’s where you take them after they leave the factory that makes all the difference.

Which is why the Iron & Resin version of the Danner boots walk one of the major common lines between the two worlds. The fine suede uppers are designed to wear and grow with their owner, with marks and age telling a story, rather than detracting from the shoe’s appeal.

Iron & Resin co-founder Thom Hill shared his thoughts on the collaboration. “We’ve long been fans of Danner boots and have been using them on our own adventures for years. Designing this collection with Danner was an opportunity to build the ideal boot we could use both on and off a bike, scrambling our local mountains and frequenting our favorite watering holes.”

The Southern California based brand shares a lot of other traits with Danner, and one of them is quality.

Like all Danner boots, the limited edition Iron and Resin Tramline is built to the highest standards for footwear, right in The Manual’s hometown of Portland, Oregon. They feature a waxed canvas collar for ultimate durability, and Danner’s signature stitchdown construction, a classic look with a refined feel.

The collaboration doesn’t stop at the feet, however, with a jacket and hat similarly built for whatever the west coast throws at you. Another goal of both brands is manufacturing in america, so the water-repellant Gaviota jacket and Rivermouth cap are both made in California.

The entire collection is already available on Danner’s site, but it won’t last forever.

Rolex adds new Cosmograph Daytona watches
Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

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.
