Lucchese men’s boots land at Bergdorf Goodman—here’s why it matters

Lucchese broadens its reach with the help of Bergdorf Goodman

Western wear has proven to be the trend that won’t go away, and brands are starting to take notice. With brands like Tecovas recently arriving at department stores like Nordstrom, the trend is beginning to reach more mainstream retailers rather than just niche stores. Following this path, Lucchese, the Texas-born brand, is paving the way for a broader audience with the arrival of several of their iconic styles at Bergdorf Goodman.

While it may appear that this expansion is only a passing trend, the truth is that the partnership between Bergdorf Goodman and Lucchese is another example of how western wear could permanently impact fashion trends and retailers. Thanks to shows like Yellowstone and high-caliber partnerships with artists like Chris Stapleton and Post Malone, western wear has seen a resurgence like never before. With a limited release to begin with, this Lucchese and Bergdorf Goodman partnership is a first step towards a mainstay place in fashion. 

Bergdorf Goodman gets more western with Lucchese

Releasing five of the brand’s most popular styles, Bergdorf Goodman is embracing the Western trend with one of the go-to Western brands. As part of the expansion, Lucchese is adding Jones in black caiman belly leather; Collins in black florence buffalo leather; Devin in tan ranch hand leather; Gavin in Lucchese’s signature black cherry on santini goat leather, and Tanner in chocolate mad dog goat leather. All five styles will be available at Bergdorf Goodman’s online store and at the department store’s Fifth Avenue flagship location.

In a statement, Doug Kindy, president of Lucchese Bootmaker, said, “Partnering with Bergdorf Goodman marks an exciting new chapter for Lucchese.” Bergdorf Goodman and Lucchese both work to cultivate uncompromising quality.” If Lucchese and Bergdorf Goodman’s wholesale expansion is a success, this milestone could solidify the Western trend as a mainstream style rather than just another micro trend.

Breitling’s new Top Time is a wearable tribute to the Aston Martin DB5
The new watches rep the iconic Bond car right down to subdials shaped like its dashboard gauges.
Car, Watch, Man

Breitling just released a trio of heaters: the Top Time B01 Chronograph 41 Tribute to Aston Martin DB5, a three-edition collaboration with the British carmaker. The connection between the Swiss watchmaker and the British car company runs back to 1965, when a Top Time ref. 2002 appeared on Sean Connery's wrist in Thunderball, worn alongside the DB5 — the first Q-modified watch in the Bond series. It's a nice bit of trivia that the DB5 and that Top Time shared the screen in the same film, and both went on to outlive the movie by decades.

The car cues go deeper than the "squircle" gauge-shaped subdials: a wooden inner ring nods to the DB5's steering wheel, and each edition rides on a hand-colored gradient calfskin strap meant to read like automotive upholstery. All three run on Breitling's in-house Manufacture Caliber 01, a COSC-certified automatic chronograph with a 70-hour power reserve, visible through a sapphire caseback and finished with an Aston Martin-engraved rotor. The case measures 41mm. The editions are divvied up by material and rarity. Stainless steel with a silver dial is limited to 1,022 pieces and sticks closest to the original ref. 2002, while steel with a platinum bezel and black lacquered dial drops to 315 pieces.

Look to the sky for these space themed watches
These 5 space themed watches will have you seeing stars
Accessories, Strap, Wristwatch

It was the 1960s. We were in the middle of a Cold War with Russia, and instead of escalating to an actual war with bullets and bombs, we took the conflict to the sky. We created a war of economics, science, and morale in a race to the sky to be the first nation to reach the moon. While the race picked up throughout the decade, it came down to the wire before the USA won the race by landing on the moon (if you believe that sort of thing and don't believe Stanley Kubrick directed the greatest ruse of all time). In any case, no race can be run without a good timekeeper. And watches were a must-have for all involved. Ever since, chronophiles like me have been obsessed with space-themed watches and, in particular, moon mission watches.

That is why I happened to have this list in my head. Five watches that bring the space race and the great beyond to the forefront of thinking to build a collection that is out of this world.

Legendary designer has a project coming up you may not know about
Legendary designer, Tom Ford, is writing and directing a film adapting the Anne Rice novel, Cry to Heaven
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

Tom Ford is a name that every fashionisto knows well. He is the top of the top when you talk about famous suit makers. He began his career changing the landscape of multiple brands, including Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, before launching his own self-named brand of his own in 2005. The brand has remained a mainstay in the industry for the last 20 years, including the acquisition of Estée Lauder in 2022 for an estimated $2.8 billion. For the movie buffs in the room, you also likely know about Tom Ford because he became the exclusive tailor and suitmaker for Daniel Craig's James Bond for Quantum of Solace in 2008. He carried that gig all the way through the series and defined men's style for two decades.

Now, for the real cinephiles in the room, you may also know that Tom Ford himself is a movie buff and entered the industry as a writer and a director in 2009 by directing A Single Man with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. Then again in 2016 with Nocturnal Animals with Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Michael Shannon. Of course, the wardrobe was stellar in both, and we will get a chance to see his talents onscreen again this fall with a new Anne Rice adaptation, Cry to Heaven.
