Timberland blends classic brogue styling with outdoor-ready durability

Timberland dresses up its classic boot into a dress shoe staple

timberland heritage boot — Timberland

Timberland isn’t shy about revisiting its most iconic silhouette, but the brand’s latest Heritage 6-Inch Waterproof Boot takes a more serious route. Instead of pushing the classic into trend territory, this update leans into refinement with brogue-style detailing, shifting the boot from workwear staple to something far more polished. It’s still built for winter streets and unpredictable weather, but now carries the kind of craftsmanship you’d expect from a heritage dress shoe.

Timberland redefines its classic into a heritage dress boot

The foundation remains familiar. You get the full-grain waterproof leather, seam-sealed construction, and the rugged stance that’s defined Timberland for decades. The padded collar, structured shape, and hard-wearing lug outsole are all here, anchoring the boot in its utilitarian past. What’s new is the overlay of wingtip perforations and serrated edges, which soften the profile without compromising durability.

Performance stays central to the redesign. Timberland loads the upper with 400 grams of PrimaLoft insulation for warmth and pairs it with a moisture-managing membrane, so you’re covered on wet days. The steel shank supports long wear, and the brand’s anti-fatigue footbed provides comfort whether you’re commuting, walking the city, or heading out for a cold-weather weekend. It carries the toughness that made the original famous, but the brogue treatment expands how you can wear it. It’s a practical cold-season style move for anyone who wants durability with a sharper finish.

The Timberland Heritage 6-Inch Waterproof Boot is available now in black and medium brown full-grain leather, priced at $250. For those who’ve always liked the classic’s function but wanted a version that cleans up well, this iteration hits the mark.

The 5 suit brands you need to know to build your first suit wardrobe: Including the first aspirational one

Building a suit wardrobe starts with the brands you can trust

Men's Wearhouse Custom

Look, starting a wardrobe is difficult. You have to decide what kind of man you want to be. What kind of message do you want to send? What kind of budget do you want to use? And how often you want to go back to the drawing board. What kind of man do you want to be? Sounds heavy. Sounds dramatic. Maybe because, in some ways, it is. So much of what people initially believe about you remains in their subconscious long after they get to know you. So what you wear is important. The message you want to send is one of being put together, attentive to details, or it is the opposite. Laid back and unbothered. The budget is also integral to the wardrobe you build. High quality comes with high prices. However, it comes with longevity, so it means you don't have to replace it as often, saving money in the long run. So, what kind of man do you want to be? Hopefully one that wears men's suits.

No matter what man, message, budget, or shopping frequency you choose, a good suit wardrobe will need to be a part of it. So, where do you go? How do you start? Here are the five brands to trust to get started. No Tom Ford, Brioni, giant fashion houses here. These are the five suits for the man starting out. And one for the man aspiring to the next step. The first four, you can grab your first quality suit for around the $1,000 mark. The aspirational one will be your first custom, so it will be a bit more.

Longines refreshes its cult-favorite central power reserve in light blue

The Swiss watch company is giving the Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve some new dial and bracelet options.

Wristwatch, Arm, Dial

Longines has been around since 1832, which makes it one of the oldest continuously operating watchmakers on Earth — old enough to have spent decades strapped to the wrists of aviators and explorers before most brands existed. So when the Saint-Imier company, now part of the Swiss giant Swatch Group, revives something from its own archives, it's got real history to draw on. The Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is a good example.

The Conquest line dates to 1954 — the first Longines collection to have its name trademarked with the Swiss IP office. And in 1959, one Conquest model introduced the complication this watch is built around: a power reserve indicator planted dead center on the dial. For 2026, Longines has given the modern revival a light refresh: a new light-blue opaline dial and (for the first time on this model) a stainless-steel bracelet alongside the returning dark leather strap.

Shohei Ohtani’s newest Seiko is out of this world

Seiko built Shohei Ohtani a one-of-one watch that tracks a million hours across five rotating discs — and you can't buy it.

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The Seiko Star Time, presented to Shohei Ohtani on July 3, marks his tenth year as a Seiko ambassador. It's not for sale, will never be for sale, and there's exactly one on Earth — currently strapped to the best baseball player alive. Oh, and also? It looks absolutely nuts. Instead of hands, the Star Time tells time with five stacked, concentric discs, each tracking a different scale of accumulated time: 24 hours, then 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, and finally a disc that runs all the way to one million hours.

That's roughly 114 years — a full human lifetime, give or take. The discs turn continuously, so slowly you can't see them move. Seiko named it "Star Time" for exactly that reason: like stars drifting across the sky, the motion is imperceptible in the moment but relentless. A little existential for a watch company, but let's go with it.
