With the fall season on the horizon, it’s no surprise to see brands starting to tap into their boot releases. One brand known for its quality boots is Red Wing Heritage. For almost 70 years, the brand’s Classic Moc boot has become a staple of its footwear lineup, thanks to its timeless look and high-quality construction. A favorite among workers and casual wearers alike, the Classic Moc is ultimately the must-have for any Red Wing fan. Now the brand is taking its most iconic boot design and giving it a slight makeover. Although the boot appears the same on the outside, the new muleskinner leather makes it stronger and more durable than ever before.  

Red Wing Heritage unveils its stronger Classic Moc yet

The go-to boot for factory workers and farmers, it’s not a surprise that Red Wing Heritage has decided to make the Classic Moc even stronger. Created by Red Wing, the boot’s muleskinner leather provides a suede-like texture that’s even stronger than the previous material used. Donning a chocolate brown shade, the Classic Moc completes the design with a cream traction tread outsole and a natural tan leather midsole. The moleskinner leather is not a new concept for Red Wing Heritage, as it has been featured on other styles in the past. However, fortifying the Classic Moc with this durable material makes this the ultimate boot for the season. Now available through Red Wing’s webstore, the Classic Moc can be purchased for $320. While the upgrade primarily involves a construction upgrade, it’s a swap that can make a significant difference for a long-lasting boot.

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.
