Well Booted !

There is nothing like an American Classic, Sebago. Classic can also be done with a twist.  The Osmore Boot.  In many ways, this is a true classic, with even more of a twist.

Featuring full grain waterproof leather uppers with waxy  leather and plaid wool panels, the Osmore’s stitch detailing brings it all together with leather rawhide laces and durable cement construction. Leather sock linings and midsoles cradle your feet in comfort, and the Vibram® rubber lug soles provide traction and support. So whether you’re heading to a rustic day at work, enjoying the weekend, or out shoveling snow, the Osmore has it covered.

“Often thought of as a ‘summer’ brand, we’ve broken out of this category with the Autumn/Winter Collection. The new innovative and expanded line remains anchored in our commitment to top quality, but delivers a more modern, sophisticated product, which is relevant for consumers irrespective of their lifestyles” stated Gary Malamet, Sebago’s Group VP and General Manager.

The Sebago-Moc Company was founded in 1946 by three New England natives: Daniel J. Wellehan, Sr., William Beaudoin and Joseph Cordeau. Their first shoe, the hand-sewn penny loafer, was styled after the popular Indian moccasins and pioneered what would become the company’s patented welt construction. Two years after the initial founding, Sebago-Moc would sell its breakthrough leather boat shoe to Uniroyal. Now part of Wolverine WorldWide Inc., based in Rockford, Michigan, the Osmore Boot is still made in Maine.

Sebago has taken inspiration from its deep rooted history in New England style of fashionable, yet functional footwear, to create collections to tell a story to its consumer bringing the brand to life. In addition, through exclusive collaborations, Sebago is also developing footwear with another American heritage notable, Filson.  Combining these two iconic American heritage notables, the brand continues to put itself on the pulse of today’s style savvy man.  Sold globally, in over 180 countries, Sebago is a classic with a twist.

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.
