  The Autumn 2019 collection incorporates new techniques and fabrics, invigorating a selection of much-loved classics. These subtle changes also have the benefit of reducing each garment’s environmental impact, without sacrificing the renowned durable qualities of Carhartt WIP garments. This includes their new organic Dearborn Canvas , which was first introduced to Carhartt WIP collections last season. It’s still just as robust and is created in a 12oz weight. This fabric has also been through an ageing process that gives each garment a unique, lived-in feel and leads to richer, more complex hues of canvas.     Additionally, the worn, patina-like effects Carhartt WIP occasionally apply to their canvas pieces are now executed in a new way. Previously done by hand, which was laborious, time-consuming work, this process is now done with lasers, creating the whiskered detailing that we associate with well-worn Carhartt WIP pants and jackets.

Adidas continues to roll out new twists of some of the company’s more intriguing silhouettes, the latest of which is a duo of contrasting Sobakov BOOST silhouettes. The tweaked soccer sneaker is offered in light- and dark-hued iterations, complete with comfy BOOST midsoles for maximum comfort. An asymmetric knit upper adds both visual interest and heightened breathability, with a midsole that mixes soft BOOST at the heel with textured rubber towards the toe. The result is a hybrid of contemporary design and heritage inspiration, reinforced by the striking “Core Black/Solar Orange” colorway that juxtaposes an all-black look with unmissable orange on the leather Three Stripes branding.

Coinciding with a shift in seasons is a shift in textures and colour palette, as muted autumnal hues of burgundy, camel, and forest green are combined with midweight corduroy and wool fabrics. This builds out from Carhartt WIP's Madison program, which includes subtly branded classics in seasonal cord, while there’s also new styles, such as Carhartt WIP's zip-front Oscar Shirt, which has been crafted from a wool-blend.

The 6-inch Classic Moc is synonymous with Red Wing Heritage. The boot’s unmistakable moc toe and Traction Tred outsole form a silhouette that sets the standard by which all others are measured. The Classic Moc was first made by Red Wing in 1952. In the decades since, it’s grown into one of the most beloved lifestyle boots in the world. Originally made for sportsmen, the boot quickly grew into a favorite of farm and factory workers for its long-lasting construction, steady traction, and all-day comfort. The Classic Moc’s beloved features live on today, as the boot is built with the same pride and process now as it was then. Moc toe construction and the iconic Traction Tred rubber outsole lead the way, and Puritan triple stitching and a Goodyear welt make the boot a legend in durability. A new pair of Red Wing Heritage footwear should fit comfortably tight on the foot, with enough room to freely wiggle toes. As you wear the footwear, the full grain leather upper, ins...

We have just welcomed back the Cotu classic from Superga in a range of new colourways and textural materials. One of the most wearable and all round classic silhouettes; this model has been a firm favourite of ours for years. In the spirt of this, in this post, we look back at Superga's extensive history. It's hard to believe that Superga is well over 100 years old. Under the care and attention of Walter Martiny in 1911, the Superga factory began to produce shoes with vulcanized rubber soles. It was here, in Turin, Italy, the Classic Superga 2750 heritage style was born. After closing during the war, the Superga factory reopened with a mission to bring high quality footwear to the people of Italy. The 2750 became established as the people's shoe of Italy, and Superga increased its product line with technical sport shoes, rubber rain boots and a growing range of colours and styles. The 2750 shoe has been an icon since the very beginning and has inspire...
