Known for their work boots and heritage silhouettes, Nicks Boots is once again elevating your footwear with the goal of maximum durability and comfort. Just in time for their yearly collaboration, Nicks Boots is reuniting with Carl Murawski for a new boot designed for style and meant to last for years. As with most of the shoes in Nicks Boots’ lineup, this latest pair is designed to blend ruggedness with a refined element, creating a work boot that you can wear off-hours. While featuring various stylish elements, these boots are designed to be worn, and their personalized aging features allow them to patina over time, becoming even more of a fashion statement. 

Nicks Boots and Carl Murawski introduce The Blackwood

In this new release, The Blackwood derives its personality from the fact that it ages and becomes even more stylish over time. Featuring overdyed English Bridle leather from Wickett & Craig, this material undergoes a fascinating process that involves tanning it first in Buck Brown, followed by a black overdye finish. Through wear and time, the boot will patina, revealing the warm brown tone that has been hiding underneath. Other features of the shoe include Dr. Sole Half soles, 8-inch height, brass hooks and eyes, an LTT pattern, and a brown rolled top. All of these details create a low-profile design with ultimate grip and a long-lasting construction. This new Nicks Boots and Carl Murawski partnership is available via the Nicks Boots website and retails for $899. An elegant and rugged boot, The Blackwood is a true work of art that combines premium craftsmanship with elevated style.

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.
