Although Dr. Martens is recognized as one of the most symbolic boot brands in streetwear, there’s one style that the brand has yet to dominate – until now. While the brand’s patent boots and signature yellow stitching are firmly cemented in boot history, rain boots had remained one of the last silhouettes to reach their lineup. With the release of the 1460 Rain Boot, Dr. Martens has finally offered longtime fans a chance to add this seasonal shoe to their rotation, complete with all of the characteristics of a Dr. Martens shoe. As with many of their designs, the rain boot isn’t your ordinary winter piece, but instead Dr. Martens’ version of the style. Perfect for navigating the streets in the gloomy, rainy weather of winter, the 1460 Rain Boot proves that Dr. Martens is more than just a traditional lace-up boot. 

Dr. Martens finally releases rain boots for the season

Designed to handle heavy rainstorms, the Dr. Martens 1460 Rain Boot isn’t just for looks, even though it manages to succeed at that too. Keeping the classic 8-eyelet shape of the original 1460 model, the rain boots are upgraded with a PVC-coated upper and fused outsole for waterproof protection. Faux-stitch detailing brings back the classic Dr. Martens look, while a rubberized heel tab and a custom last shape complete the design.

Inside, the PVC upper shell is lined with polyester, protecting against water, abrasion, and chemicals without sacrificing flexibility. The heat-sealed Goodyear welt construction ensures durability and resilience for all of your rainy-day journeys. To maximize functionality, the rain boots also feature an air-cushioned BEN sole for traction and support. The rain boots’ SoftWair insoles ensure comfort with every step, even in harsh conditions. Ready for all types of outdoor adventures or urban journeys, the 1460 Rain Boots are available in four colorways: Yellow, Black, Olive, and Lilac. All four colorways are available via Dr. Martens and retail for $110 each.

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics
Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
