Laurie Haspel, president and CEO of Haspel Clothing, is excited about the forthcoming collection. “At Haspel, we’re always thinking about partnerships that will encourage our customers to try something new,” she said. “Since 1909, suiting has been our specialty. While we’ve successfully introduced sportswear and other accessories into the collection, we have consistently maintained a watchful eye on footwear. We are so excited to join G.H. Bass & Co., another American heritage brand, in bring stylish, quality footwear to the market.”

“G.H. Bass & Co. and Haspel’s new capsule collection unties two celebrated American brands with iconic legacies,” said Amie Freeland, creative director of G.H Bass & Co. “It’s an ideal partnership of two brands whose shared values — consistent quality and timeless design — have resulted in generations of customers whose loyalty has never wavered. Well look forward to bringing trusted, reliably, and beautifully styled footwear to our customers throughout the country.”

This new capsule consists of the staples for any gentlemen’s wardrobe, northern or southern. Dress up or dress down with the navy and brown leather boat shoe ($130) — no need to own a yacht to look like you belong on one. The driver ($99), in a rich royal blue, is a perfect way to refresh your summer wardrobe from the ground up. Pack the creamy suede bucks ($155) for that spring wedding, and then wear them with anything else you have in mind. The clean sneaker ($115) perfectly toes the line between relaxed and refined, and last, but not least, the iconic G.H. Bass Weejun penny loafer ($145) makes any outfit.

Starting at $99, each shoe style is adorned with a subtle nod of seersucker, keeping these super symbols of sartorialism authentic extensions of both brands. And not to worry, as big fans of both G.H. Bass & Co. and well as Haspel, we know that not only do they look great right out of the box, but they’ll wear-in perfectly, and they’re designed to last just about forever. Get ready to enjoy this spring, and find them at both G.H. Bass & Co., and Haspel.

With Its New Men’s Line, Rothy’s Lets You Finally Live in Your Shoes

Lavion Gibson, director of product design for Rothy’s, remembers what it was like in those early days of the sneakerhead boom. “I grew up keeping my sneakers as crisp as possible,” the 34-year-old tells The Manual. Walking without creasing one’s shoes is a learned skill, but even more valuable is the DIY triage it takes to care for a scuff: Pull out your toothbrush, soap, and water. Take the laces out, clean the soles, and then let them air-dry. It was a meticulous process only compounded by his habit of buying a new pair every two weeks.

Gibson, from his office in San Francisco and appearing onscreen with Senior Vice President of Men’s Chris Hull, 45, laughs at the memory. Hull laughs, too, as on Monday, May 20, the pair saw the company’s first two men’s shoes launch. The joke is, in part, the intensity that comes with core shoe culture. But the other part is that with its release, Rothy's has allowed the fashion-forward man to have his cake and eat it, too. Phrased another way, the days of meticulous shoe care are a thing of the past, replaced with a regular washing machine and about an hour or two of time.
