Red Wing Heritage, a workman’s staple for quality boots, is hell-bent on equipping us with all the leather goods our little hearts desire.

The launch of Red Wing Heritage’s new collection sees wallets, gloves, belts, bags, even coasters join the ranks of premium leather offerings from the crimson-winged label. Unlike many accessories “collections” introduced by staple-footwear brands, there isn’t just one belt and one wallet in the assortment. Try 18 different wallets accounting for six different styles and three leather colorways (top of our wish list is the vegetable-tanned leather Card Holder), along with eight belts, seven gloves, four coasters, and one end-all, be-all dopp kit.

Every accessory is designed with sharp simplicity and southwest style sensibilities. Red Wing Heritage uses premium leathers from the company’s own in-house S.B. Foot Tanning Co.; each piece stamped the iconic logo and a “Made in the USA” brand.

Red Wing Heritage got its start more than a century ago making premium boots — and has kept the standard of its product to the same high quality — so it’s clear in this special expansion that we’re dealing with leather goods that are built to last and look handsome for decades to come. If you can’t say that already for your wallet, belt, and gloves … it’s time to get better ones.

If you’re too stoked to wait for your leather order in the mail, you can purchase the goods old-school style at a New York City pop-up shop located in TriBeCa neighborhood. The store signals the first time in Red Wing Heritage history that the entire men’s and women’s collections, care products, limited edition styles, and accessories — as well as the new leather goods — will be available in one shop. “It will be the best assortment of Red Wing Heritage found in the U.S.” says a representative for the brand.

The pop-up will also house the recently released, limited-edition Irish Setter collection, the features throwback styles resurrected in modern styles. Seriously, these boots might be the best shoes introduced in the past five fall seasons, perfectly blending style with burly functionality (you’ll look like you just chopped wood for an hour without any of the sweat and debris).

The Red Wing Heritage pop-up shop will be open through spring 2018 (more info and address here), however there’s no word on whether the new leather goods will have an expiration date (please no, please no). Either way, we know what everyone’s getting for the holidays. And we can guarantee nobody’s gonna be re-gifting or asking for the receipt.

The world today is based on a "throwaway culture." That means we have become obsessed with one-time-use items like plastic water bottles, grocery bags, and paper towels. While this can make things feel cheaper and easier up front, it can be more expensive and cumbersome in the long run, not to mention hazardous to the environment. This is also true with your wardrobe. There are plenty of places you can get cheap clothing if you just need to wear it one time. In the long run, though, this is detrimental to you, your bank account, and the environment.

Learning how to care for your wardrobe to make it last longer is better for you, your wallet, and your sanity. Invest in quality items that are made to stand the test of time so that you won't have to shop for clothing every time a new event comes up like other men do. Once you have those quality items, here are the tips that will ensure they last for years, and maybe even a lifetime.

TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Night Driver

TAG Heuer, the renowned Swiss luxury watchmaker, has unveiled its latest men's watch, the Monaco Chronograph Night Driver, which is set to redefine nighttime driving experiences. In this limited edition release, TAG Heuer captures the essence of the "Night Driver" and pays tribute to the iconic Monaco collection. It draws inspiration from the vintage Monaco's midnight blue, charcoal gray, and matte black dials while incorporating cutting-edge materials and technology.
The magic of nighttime driving
Driving at night carries a unique allure, especially when it comes to glowing watches. With distractions minimized, drivers connect intimately with their vehicles and the road. Every nuance is heightened, making the experience pure and exhilarating. As darkness descends, the importance of reliable instruments becomes paramount. The Monaco Chronograph Night Driver steps in as the ideal companion. Dashboard instruments illuminate the car's vital statistics, and the driver's chronograph assumes a central role. At night, legibility is key, ensuring that drivers can access precise information instantly. TAG Heuer's latest creation excels in this regard.

Luminescent innovation
The standout feature of the Monaco Chronograph Night Driver is its fully luminescent dial. This technical marvel utilizes Super-LumiNova to achieve exceptional luminosity, allowing the dial to remain prominently visible in the dark for up to three hours after charging. The deep gray "circle" at the center of the dial provides a strong contrast with the bright blue Super-LumiNova finish of the hands, enhancing legibility.
