Filson Duffle Bag and Red Wing Limited Engineer Boots - REDWING1905 The Engineer collection was originally developed for engineers working on America’s railroads. The boots with pull-on styling, used minimal stitching to protect the engineer’s feet from the hot embers that fell from the locomotive’s firebox. The buckled side gusset at the top of the boot allowed for easier bending, a necessary requirement as they needed to continuously shovel more coal into the firebox. The first engineer boots, number 919, appeared in the 1941 catalog—they were advertised as pull-on boots for engineers and truck drivers, the new engineers of the open road. View high resolution

Red Wing Heritage x J.Crew - Dad Chic 4515 These are pure dad-chic. Or, if that is not working for you, how about professor-modish. This is not to say that we are not feeling these heritage oxfords, crafted by Red Wing Heritage exclusively for old J.Crew, but their boxiness and heft seem to suggest perfect pairing with short white socks, pleated chinos and a tucked-in golf shirt. “[The shoe] was inspired by the traditional 875 and 877 styles worn by work crews, but designed for factory managers who needed a lighter, more comfortable oxford to wear in the office.” Again, given the looks, we are not surprised to hear this. Still, with the proper pair of jeans and a proper cuff, the made-in-the-U.S.A. 4514 could tiptoe out of dad-chicness and right into the working-it work wear arena. Available at jcrew.

Red Wing Boots - Work Oxford No. 8102 Red Wing’s moc-toe classic work oxfords were inspired by the success of the iconic 875 and 877 work boots. While the work crew needed a sturdy boot, the factory manager who moved back and forth from their office to the factory floor sought a more comfortable oxford. Lighter in weight because of its lower profile, these work oxfords could stand up to the hard concrete and not be too heavy for an entire day spent behind a desk. Continuing to wear a Red Wing product was only natural for managers who started their careers on the factory floor. They appreciated the comfort and durability Red Wing built into every pair of their legendary work boots and shoes. View high resolution

Red Wing Heritage x Nigel Cabourn “The Munson Boot”

With the concept of collaborative ventures in mind, industry renowned outdoor specialist Nigel Cabourn has partnered up with Red Wing Heritage to create The Munson Boot. Although both brands have a differing heritage based on their respective fields over the years, this partnership allows them to explore each others territory and combine them into a single unprecedented piece of work. Made out of Munson lasts, The Munson Boot was inspired by the true ruggedness of infantry boots and how they’ve been able to withstand constant wear and tear for decades. The use of Munson lasts have not been readily used in the fashion industry for many years, but this pair of boots was created to last for perhaps a lifetime worth of outdoor adventures. Featured with army green Harris tweed lining and deep green leather shoelaces and eyelets, The Munson Boot is available in two colors – Light Brown Hawthorne Muleskinner and Dark Chocolate Muleskinner.
