Fresh off their release of the Tahoe Trekker, SeaVees ushers in the fall season with new releases that celebrate the brand’s 60th anniversary. As part of the milestone, SeaVees’ fall collection appears with two September releases that take on two classic silhouettes. Releasing a new boat shoe and a rugged boot, these styles are ready for the changing of the leaves. Both are versatile enough to function long past the fall season, bringing all the practical and stylish outdoor needs. As with the brand’s previous launches, SeaVees’ fall launches are curated with a sophisticated and elevated look with all of the comfort and performance you need for all-day and all-terrain comfort. While both styles aren’t set to arrive until next month, they’re the perfect teasers to start teasing a new season.

Shearling returns to men’s fashion with a rugged, refined edge
Designers are reinventing pelts with sustainable and high-end twists
Michael Kors Shearling Coat

After years of languishing on the sidelines and disappearing entirely from runways, fur (and more specifically shearling) has gained prominence yet again at many fashion houses as designers showcase sustainable fur trends in their latest lines for fall and winter. But with a growing popularity, distinction matters to understand the nuances between fur and shearling. 

While both are ideal for the winter months, shearling (tanned sheepskin with wool) offers a layered look that can be found on bomber jackets or as the lining in slippers. The ethical difference between fur and shearling is that sheep are farmed only for food, not for their skin. Shearling is one kind of fur. On one side, it is made of suede, and on the other side, it is made of fur that has been trimmed. The beauty of design lies in each brand making the decision on how to showcase the material for their audience, resulting in a singular aesthetic that can rewrite the rules of innovation. The following are some noted fashion houses that have offered a fresh take in recent collections that don’t compromise style.
