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

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.

Caterpillar celebrates a century of building the world with CAT Centennial collection

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London
Wax London polo black floral

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.
