Original Chippewa rough-out Leather Boots from J. Crew

Okay guys how amazing are these rough-cut leather boots from Chippewa and J. Crew? When I saw them I couldn't help myself I ordered a pair in minutes. J. Crew worked with Chippewa to recreate a pair of 1930s work boots found in Chippewa's archives, but they made them with the rough side of the leather facing out (its looks like suede but is much toughter) and updated to an oil resistant Vibram sole. These are some serious premium men's leather boots that are Made in America too :) Yes they are pricey at $275...but if taken care of properly they will last forever! So what do ya say guys, you ready to splurge?

Top 10 Boots to Wear with a Suit

As I’m sure most of you know by now, wearing boots with a suit has not only become acceptable practice but a move favoured by those in the sartorial know. It’s a great way to add a little something extra to your look and break up the monotony that is often associated with wearing a suit. While this may seem like a bold move for a lot of men out there I can assure it isn’t. When your pants fall over the tops of your boot they often end up looking like a heavier dress shoe, something like a brogue to the uninitiated. There are many different styles of boots out there, and I could probably go 10 deep on different boots to wear with a suit. I think it’s a much more beneficial exercise to look at three categories of boots and break down how to wear the different styles among those categories. As much as I like a heavy winter boot it’s probably not something you’re ever going to throw on with your favourite suit so it seems like a waste of everyone’s time to discuss it. Read more...
