Red Wing Heritage has built its legacy on obsessive attention to detail, premium craftsmanship, and high-quality materials. This combination of factors has raised the brand to become one of the most recognized and lauded boot brands in recent seasons, and the recognition is more than well deserved. Besides boots, the brand has branched out into different footwear silhouettes, making Red Wing even more iconic. However, when it comes to accessories, Red Wing has had less luck in pushing its branding to the masses. 

Despite previous attempts, many of Red Wing’s bags and accessories have fallen flat and disappeared from the brand’s permanent lineup. However, much like the brands’ tenacity in building durable footwear, Red Wing is gearing up to push the envelope once more with a quiet release of a new premium bag —the first in many years.  Instead of switching things up, Red Wing’s newest EDC (everyday carry) bag delivers the quality and craftsmanship one would expect from the brand. While not your next timeless boot, the Explorer Bag is set to be a new piece that outlasts the trends and expectations. 

Red Wing doubles down on accessories with the Explorer Bag

Built to keep your essentials safe and in style, the Explorer Bag is the ideal everyday accessory that gathers your belongings while featuring Red Wing’s timeless, premium craftsmanship and quality. Made from Oro Legacy leather, the bag features flap-top access and a slip strap with magnetic closure. The back snap pocket opens way to an organizational plus, with holders for pens, credit cards, coins, and keychains. The Explorer bag also features a luggage tag and an adjustable tag, ensuring you have everything you need for the work day or a short trip. Perfect for keeping your items in one spot, the Explorer bag is the ideal addition to your everyday looks, especially for those heading into the office. Available via Red Wing’s ecommerce site, the Explorer bag retails for $500.

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.
