The Boots:  Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up – $149.00icon
Looks good with or without mud.

At first they felt a little stiff but they loosened up quick.  The best looking boots you’ll actually enjoy getting dirty.  The toe is rounded off evenly and not elongated, so it has more of a rustic look.  The top stitching dresses it up, and adds a great contrast to the leather.  The black option looks great against a smooth brown rubber (not leather) sole.

 

The Jeans:  Heritage Straight Fit in Resin Rinse – $59.50icon
Made from U.S. Cotton.

Lands’ End Canvas has started to source their denim cotton from the U.S.A.  Manufacturing has been kept in this hemisphere (Mexico.)  The fit is solid as well.  Some guys think the LEC Straights are too trim.  But a measuring tape shows they have a little more room than 501s.  Not skinny by any means, nor baggy.  Stay with the resin rinse.

 

The Blazer:  Marled Blazer – $63.99icon ($129.50)
Grey or black on top, camel under.

Will absolutely need tailoring.  This is an interesting one because it has no lining and while the marled fabric is mid weight, it feels awfully like an INC ultra light on your body.  That’s good.  But it’s real boxy off the rack.  That’s not so good.  It also comes with functioning buttons so that could be an issue.  Three button front but the lapels come pre-rolled over to two.  Extremely comfortable, but does need some post purchase work.  (Post tailoring seen above)

 

The Sweater:  Cotton Cashmere V-Neck – $59.90icon
Lighter, but still fall appropriate.

It’s trimmer through the sides but not quite slim.  That’s true for most L.E.C. stuff.  Lightweight, smooth, and a deeper V than you’d expect which isn’t drastically low.  A little darker in person and a great color.  5% cashmere.

 

The Shirt:  Buffalo Check Poplin – $24.99icon ($49.50)
Not boxy, but not super slim.

Cooler weather doesn’t mean you have to ditch bold patterns.  Instead of a black and red buffalo check hunter’s jacket, a washed poplin with that big pattern is a good way to break up all your fall solids.  On sale.  Button down collar.

 

The Bag: 1963 Trip Bag – $140.00icon
Featured in the best weekend bags post.

The real deal as far as waxed canvas is concerned.  Got some muddy water on this while taking the photos, and the water beaded up, even right over the zipper.  Good size and nice details.  Function first, looks a close second.

Final Total: $497.38 (and feel free to take an extra 25% off with the friends and family code.)

Now it’s your turn.  Choose your favorite piece from the outfit above and leave your pick in the comments below.  One comment will be drawn at random and that person will win the $500 L.E.C. giftcard to buy this, or any other $500 combination of merchandise from Lands’ End Canvas.  One entry per person.  Deadline for entry is 11:59pm ET. on Thurs. 9/29/11.  Good luck!

Comments

  2. I love the Moc Toe Lace Ups.  With the changing season, they’re probably something I plan on picking up regardless of this contest.

  4. I personally like the Buffalo Check Poplin.  Great way to add contrast to an outfit while still keeping it classy.  

  6. A terrific contest!  Thanks Joe, and Lands’ End.

    The Trip Bag looks great and seems a perfect size (roomy, yet carry-on) but I’m going to go with the jeans as my favorite.  Looks like a nice clean cut with excellent stitching.

  10. The soft cotton Marled Blazer, hands down. This and a proper v-neck sweater make for some serious fall layering potential.

  12. The Trup Bag, for rue. I’ve been looking forever for an affordable good-looking weekend bag. That one looks like just the thing. Thank God I’m destined to win this gift card so I can buy it.

  18. The soft cotton twill Marled Blazer, hands down. This and a proper v-neck sweater could make for some serious fall layering potential.

  21. I love the look of those Moc Toe boots!  I just bought them in brown and now this is making me want the black ones before I even have the first pair.

  23. Overall a really nice outfit! I like the v-neck sweater best, mainly because I really like v-necks, but also because that color brings in the color of fall the the outfit and really compliments the blues well.

  26. I’m definitely digging the Crosby Moc’s.  Something I’d definitely rock with the upcoming coldness.

  28. I’d have to go for the either the boots of the V-neck.  Had V-necks on
    the mind lately but it’s still >90F here so it’ll be a while before
    I’m wearing those.

  29. It’s a toss up between the blazer and the jeans.  I’m going to have to go with the jeans though since they look like they would fit me just how I like.  The blazer is the most interesting though.  I just hope they aren’t sold out of medium before I win this contest. 

  35. Not even $500 could make me want that outfit if I have to take the blazer. If by some mischance this comment is drawn at random pass and draw another.

  37. It’s got to be the boots. One of the best deals I’ve seen so far this fall on a great looking boot.

  50. In my experience LEC bags are indestructible, but if I had to pick one item here it would a close call with the boots. 

  53. I’d have to go with the 1963 Trip Bag. You could fit a lot of style in that bag for a great weekend.

  57. The shirt and the bag are on a different tier than the rest.  I’ll go with the shirt because of the value. 

  68. I would say the boots. I have bought both the blazer and the jeans and had to return both because they fit me so poorly 🙁

  76. Somehow I always pick the most expensive item, but this time I dodged the bullet by choosing the second highest priced — the 1963 Trip Bag. 

  79. Love the Crosby boots, although I owe a couple pairs of the straight fit jeans… last seasons at $15 are a steal of a deal

  87. Wow… um… I have to say the boots personally as they’re just sharp. The bag is a close second however.

  104. With a classic but with a modern kick, bet on the Crosby Moc Toe Lace Ups as stepping up your game. These versatile boots look as good as they feel – whether with Heritage Chinos or Straight Fit Jeans

  109. It’s a toss up between the marled blazer and the boots. I think the boots win. All excellent, though.

  112. I’m a fan of the Buffalo Poplin shirt.  A great basic to pair with almost any fall sweater or blazer.

  116. it’s the marled blazer for me.  the texture keeps it visually interesting, but not loud and in-your-face.  looks like something my fiancee would like to cozy up to!

  125. I have been kind of obsessed with the Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up since you first posted it. My budget only allows one boot for now, and that one appears to meet all of my needs. Well done on their part.

  136. I’ve been in the market for a new bag for a while now and had my eye on The Trip Bag for ages, I love it. That blazer is real nice too, but a lot of work. Sticking with the bag as my favorite.

  139. Great promotion Joe! I think I’m going to have to come down in favour of the camel sweater too. But even more, it’s the overall combination. The camel and the dark charcoal blazer are a fantastic combination.

    Cheers,
    Ben

  145. There’s a lot to love here… Love the poplin shirt, the v-neck, and the bag (which I need), but the favorite has to be the boots. I think I’ll go brown on those if I win. 

  146. I love the boots, though I already have one of the buffalo check poplin shirts and know they’re great. Great contest idea!

  155. Is it in violation of the rules to pick all of these? Mainly b/c they look so good together… oh well, if I have to pick, love the shirt. Great color/pattern.

  167. I personally really like the bag, I’ve been looking for a good weekender bag that is durable but still visually appealing. 

  180. Love the bag actually — I travel a lot, so I’ve been looking for a solid upgrade for my carry-on…the JanSport looks a little too collegiate for my tastes these days.

  192. I’ve been looking long and hard for some non-bikerish, non-combatish black boots that could be dressed up or down. Those look just about right.

  204. The bag – an often ignored piece of style that could go a long way. My pick’s for 1963 Trip Bag. Looks good, detail’s nice, and most importantly, functions well.

  216. Hertiage Jeans are fantastic…In my opinion most underrated jeans out there.  I have tried, failed, and wasted money on many jeans.  I currently have 7 different rinses all of the hertiage straight.  LOVE IT!
    Great contest idea also, I think its very very cool lands end is working with you guys with free giftcards not to mention the codes you give us for free shipping and 25% off. 

    Gotta love 11 dollar jeans!

    Chris–

  218. love the blazer and cotton/ cashmere v neck camel sweater combo. I already have that $500 spent. big fan L.E.C.

  224. Blazer all the way. I certainly didn’t expect so many people chiming in. Even our lurkers commented today. Everybody and thier mama made suggestions today. Lol. It’s all good, this website is the shizzznit 

  225. While all the items are incredible, I think the bag is a must have. Bags and briefcases are an essential part of any seasonal fashion. Something needs to put an end to the influx of backpacks well dressed are carrying, this could be just the ticket.

  226. I already own the blazer and yes it does need tailoring!  I really like the bag and could definitely use a weekender!

  229. I am going to have to go with the BLAZER!!  I love the site and it seems that I need to add a BLAZER to my wardrobe from all the write ups and advice.  Not only versatile, its light and breathable.  A+++++
    Good luck to me!

  230. The Lands End Canvas Heritage Straight Fit jeans are really great – I got a pair on a whim with another order and they’ve quickly become my favorite. Not too baggy, not skinny, just right. Bought two more pairs since then. So long 501s.

  238. While all the pieces are incredible, the bag truly stands out. Something needs to put an end to all the sharp dressed men carrying backpacks, this could be the ticket

  250. The boots most definitely, for myself anyways. I’ve never actually owned a proper pair of boots like that, and while I’ve always wanted to purchase some, anything over 100$ is out of my price range right now (college student)

  257. The boots. Definitely the boots. They just look great. Of course that blazer is awfully nice too, but it’s the boots for me.

  260. It was close decision between the boots and the trip bag but I think if I had the choice I would definitely go with 1963 trip bag because that is what I need the most at the moment!

    By the way, I also own the Marled Blazer from Land’s End Canvas and I must say that I am thoroughly pleased with the purchase. The off the rack fit is pretty good and I was able to get this in store for a fairly good price. With a few small adjustments made by my tailor it may become one of my comfortable go to blazers.

    Thanks Joe for always providing an awesome resource for us looking to upgrade our style!

    Regards,
    Edward

  261. I’ve tried the blazer … loved the material, but it didn’t fit well. I’d love to see LEC and Lands’ End introduce size 36 sport coats and drop the functional cuffs.

    So … my pick would be the denim.

    BTW, Joe, you look fantastic. That’s probably the best all LEC fit I’ve ever seen.

  263. Those boots are great!  I might have to pick some up whether I win the contest or not.  Also lovin the 1963 Trip Bag.  Has that rugged look but clean lines so it can compliment just about any style.

  264. I think I’d pick the sweater. I don’t have a single one that I can wear over a dress shirt because of the crew necks.

  265. Buffalo check poplin.  Hands down.  Easy way to add a pop of color without throwing it in people’s faces.

  269. I’m going with the Boots as my favorite.  Like the Aldens, but without the bank draining price tag. 

  271. While all the pieces are visually striking, I am most partial to the bag. Something needs to put an end to the influx of sharp dressed men carrying backpacks. I think this could be just the ticket

  273. I would also go with the “Heritage Straight Fit in Resin Rinse” out of the choices above.

    Thanks Joe.

  275. Thanks for running this.  I really like the look of the marled blazer as the weather starts to cool down, especially since I take tailoring as a given in most cases.  I call it “grown up casual.”  I was hoping to invest in a thick, tweedy blazer this year, but blew my clothes budget on moving to New York, so this is as close as I’ll get.

  286. I’ve been a fan of LEC and Dappered for quite some time now and am very happy to see the two pairing up here. I think that the sweater might be my favorite. Very versatile. 

  287. the sweater! v-necks are my light jacket alternative in the fall (and well fitting is a plus). 

  288. The trip bag seems to be the best deal here.  It is hard to find a good weekender that is stylish but also will hold up against the elements. 

    Excellent Contest by the way!

  305. A solid pair of jeans goes a long ways these days, especially with the New New Business Casual. OR SHOULD I SAY BUSINESS CANVAS! I pick you, 
    Heritage Straight Fit in Resin Rinse – $59.50

    !

  307. The cashmere v-neck would be a safe way for me to venture into colors other than blue and grey.

  309. In dire need of some black boots so those Crosby Mocs would do just fine on the west coast Joe!

    Big thanks to both and continue your excellent customer service LE.

  315. I am a huge fan of the v-neck sweater. It looks like it could definitely serve as a go-to piece for layering.

  320. I am feeling the Crosby boots, I didn’t like them at all when I first saw them but the more I see them they are starting to grow on me.

  335. It’s a tough call but I’ll go with the 1963 trip bag. A bag that is both good looking and highly functional is hard to find.

  336. I’m a huge fan of the boots, versatile enough to take a hike in or wear out to the bar at night and look good either way

  338. Love the Marled Blazer.  If you’ve got a good tailor to cut this thing up off the rack, get it.  Lightweight, excellent color for the season, and the material is great!

  342. That marled blazer! Sometimes I get nervous about too much blue on denim, but that shade doesn’t look like it’d be out of place a bit.

  343. The Moc Toe Boots are, in a word, awesome! Really feeling the style and the price is very good to compared to similarly styled ones I’ve seen

  346. Marled Blazer is classic, and perfect for this Autumn season. It really make the entire outfit complete!

  350. The men’s marled blazer is my favorite simply because it is the best bargain in my eyes. For $64 + $15 for tailoring, you can have a stylish and inexpensive blazer for many different occasions

  358. I’m actually going to say the trip bag.  It’s a snazzy looking piece of luggage that combines form and function.

  365. I agree with already stated sentiment: those boots are a terrific grab. I also think that the marled blazer is pretty sharp!

  379. The Blazer. I hate having things in my pants pockets. A blazer is the perfect means to carry necessary items without the uncomfortable pocket bulge.

  380. Most of these are very nice, but I have to go with the Straight Fit jeans.  I’ve got three pairs already.

  386. Those boots look amazing. I’m out here in Vermont and a nice pair of boots that can take me from rural Colchester where I go to school to downtown Burlington would be sweet.

  387. I love the buffal check poplin. I’m always looking for more casual button-ups. This one still stands out boldly, but the colors are more understated than most of the plaid shirts I have.

  392. I really like the Crosby Moc Toe boots. I’ve been looking for the perfect pair for a while and these are REALLY close.

  394. Really liking the bag! As a dad, it’s the perfect size to pack my clothes for a weekend trip plus include some of the kid’s “stuff’..

  395. Holy five hundred comments, Batman. These folks sure know how to come out of the woodworks when there’s free stuff at stake.

    Personally, I like the marled blazer and the boots. The blazer actually looks better in these photos than it does in LEC’s photos.

  405. The bag is the best.

    I’ve also been curious about how well Lands End Canvas fits skinnier guys (I’m 5’10”, 150)…would appreciate thoughts.  Thanks

  407. I’m diggin’ on the Buffalo Check Poplin shirt. It’s the same color of a smaller check gingham shirt I’ve been hunting for unsuccessfully, but works perfectly for the fall. Nice outfit Joe, just my style.

  410. Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up will catch a woman’s eye saying, “I’m a fashionable man”. It will also tell the other man looking at my woman that I’m afraid to throw down. Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up says it all!

    that I’m not afraid to throw down. Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up says it all! 

  412. The 1963 Trip Bag, hands down.  It’s what finishes the look and ties everything together because it doesn’t matter how good you look if you’re carrying around your college gym bag.

  415. I like the blazer but the functional sleeve buttons would be an issue for me, so the Mock Toe Lace Ups get my vote as my favorite piece of this outfit.

  417. Wow, LEC is doing great things with their clothing. I’m especially liking the marled blazer… looks like a nice 3 roll 2 and the pocket patches are a nice addition.

  421. I love the jeans.  Heritage Straight Fit fits me perfectly thanks to that little bit of extra room in the thighs compared to 501s.

  426. The rest are nice, but the boots win this. Personally, I have been looking for a decent pair of boots without a large rugged sole.

  429. The Buffalo Check poplin shirt. Looks like I could easily wear this from the office on a friday straight to my weekend campsite. Always loved the pattern, always hated looking like a lumberjack at the office meetings. This is a good middle ground.

  435. Although I could use the boots, the cotton cashmere vneck sweater. The feel and the color are both big wins

  449. The buffalo check poplin is a gorgeous shirt and a steal at it’s current price.  In fact, I’m getting it now with or without that gift card 😉

  451. I’ve been waiting with baited breath for the weather here to get back to ties-with-v-neck-sweaters appropriate, and cashmere is just like you’re doing yourself a favor all day long.

  455. the bag for sure.  the boots are almost perfect…almost.  the sweater is boss, but no one should get super excited about a sweater.  but the bag has just the right feel.

  467. love the boots but that bag is a classic!!  it looks like the kind of item that should’ve been left by a great grandparent…guess the LEC will have to do instead.

  471. My favorite has to be the jeans. With a pretty athletic build and bigger thighs, the jeans fit slightly better than 501s.

  478. foot wear is next on my list for updating the wardrobe and the boots are almost exactly what I had in mind. very nice.

  481. It’s a tie between the buffalo check poplin and the blazer. I think the blazer has to edge the shirt out. Blazer all the way!!

  491. The Marled Blazer! (A bit biased since I already own that one)… also loving the 1963 Trip Bag. Has a nice, classy but durable look to it. 

  496. The bag looks like a great texture, and I know my fiance would love it! He shops canvas all the time, and the bag would add a nice finishing touch. 

  497. Wow, $500 really gets people commenting.  I have to go with the boots because most everything else would duplicate things I already have.  

  502. I love that blazer! Reminds me of Don Draper’s excellent jacket in the birthday party episode of Mad Men, season 1. http://contemplatingmedia.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/33.jpg

  507. My favorite piece would have to be the 1963 Trip Bag. It looks like a great combination of ruggedness, looks, and utility. 

  510. I’ve had my eye on that blazer for a while, tailoring shouldn’t be a problem as I just found one next to my favorite liquor store

  519. Toss up between the buffalo check shirt and the v-neck for me.  Got plenty of v-necks so I suppose the shirt wins out.

  528. Hard to say!
    The combo, as shown in the topmost picture, works well together.
    If I had to pick one, I would go with the buffalo check poplin. Good to wear all the way up ’til next summer.

  537. Gotta go with the sweater.  I own a couple BR sweaters and while they are nice, the size just never worked out.  I had to go down a size to make the sleeves work, which left the body looking a like it came from Baby Gap

  540. Marled Blazer. After alterations, this would be a great Fall addition to anyone’s wardrobe. It’s a versatile piece you can dress up for date-night or dress down for Sunday brunch. Truly a wonderful item at $63.99, or free once you win the $500 gift card!

  546. no question, the cashmere v-neck. incredibly versatile. im living in florence right now, sweaters a major part of the italian style. 

  550. Moc Toe Boots, then marled blazer because of price/value, then the bag. Shirt and sweater are nice, but you can find a smaller pattern on the shirt from j.crew and a slimmer fitting camel v-neck at a lot of stores. LEC has some great looking stuff for fall and winter.

  558. I like the heritage straight fit jeans. Since Gap stopped making the authentics, I’m looking for my new go-to jeans.

  559. I’m having trouble choosing, because I’ve been in a total love-love relationship with LEC lately, but I’d have to go with the jeans – they make some mean fitting denim.

  563. The Shirt:  Buffalo Check Poplin .
    Great pattern, that will really stand out among traditional fall outfits

  571. I’m liking that bag, as well. Been looking at it for a while. Might have to pick it up with or without that gift card.

  576. Buffalo Check Poplin. I already have a pair of black boots, otherwise I’d have picked the Crosbys.

  577. I think for me it would have to be the Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up. Although I would probably go with the Espresso over the black. Browns are much more versatile for me, as I almost never need to go for the higher formality level of black leather. I tend to do the “Country Gentleman” in tweed and brown leather more regularly and those work for me.

  584. Buffalo Check Poplin!

    I’ve become a big fan of button ups and this patten in particular is great looking. Layer up in the winter for a hint of craziness popping out of your sweater/blazer. Layer down + roll up your sleeves for a casual and yet interesting shirt for the summer. 

    I saw dappered.com being featured on LEC’s website. Congrats!  And a great price to boot!

  596. Definitely the blazer. I have been looking at that one for a while, but haven’t had the nerve/expendable income to pick it up yet. Oh, the troubles of being a semi-stylish first year teacher…

  600. Tough call: the bag is great, but the buffalo check shirt takes it on shear value. Lands End Canvas has become a go-to for good quality, inexpensive threads.

  619. I’ve been looking for a decent pair of casual boots, and those might do the trick this winter.

  627. That 1963 Weekend Bag is awesome. It would be perfect for a trip back home to the Northeast to peep the fall leaves. Although not pictured, I’d rock the Merlot cords from LEC as well as a chambray piece on top…But it’s going to have to remain a dream for now. #ForeveraBrokeCollegeStudent

  664. At that price I do like the blazer, even with the caveats about the fit. But I actually need something like the trip bag and really like this one, so I’ll go with that as my favorite.

  666. I might have a slight problem… I’ve got more v-neck sweaters than I can shake a stick at. And I’m still drawn to the one up there.

  668. I got some criticism on Styleforum the other day for playing it too safe with color and pattern, so I’d definitely choose that buffalo check poplin shirt to make things a little more interesting.

  678. The thought of having a good looking weekend bag that you can get wet without worrying about is appealing, especially if its not made of nylon.  That one looks sick too.  

  682. I have to go with the bag – when everyone’s fighting for overhead bin space, soft-sided bags like these can mash into spaces that rollers can’t. And if they make you gate-check, waxed cotton can stand the abuse. 

  693. The combination of the buffalo check shirt and the camel sweater is my personal favorite, its a great combination.

  712. Definitely the bag for me. I like the boots just fine, but already have too many boots – think that might get me thrown out of the house. The bag is sweet though.

  727. Holy comments Batman! Well over 600 as of right now! I’m a big fan of the weekend bag. Filson-y looks, LEC price.

  729. Holy comments Batman! Well over 600 as of right now! I’m a big fan of the weekend bag. Filson-y looks, LEC price.

  733. Buffalo Check Poplin for sure! Great shirt! That said, I’m not crazy about the fit on the LEC sweater I bought last year and it’s kept me from buying more. Not slim enough for me. But I’m sure that with five hundred bucks, I could find something I liked.

  743. I love the buffalo check shirt! If I didn’t already own so many gingham and checked shirts, I would definitely add that one to the collection. I think I need to add some stripes to the wardrobe instead

  767. Crosby Moc is awesome. Great alternative to those of us who can’t bear to harvest our own organs to afford the Wolverine 1000 Mille boots.

  777. The Cotton Cashmere V-Neck is so refined in it’s style. The camel hair color is exceedingly rare in the style world but this is certainly one of those sweaters that speak out silently. Now that’s style!

  794. I was gonna say the Buffalo check shirt easily but then I got to the end of the list. Being a new dad, the trip bag would be incredibly useful AND stylish. 

  797. I have been checking out the boots for a little while now. They’re no Indys, but they’re about a third of the price of those Aldens.

  800. I have to pick just one?  The blazer/sweater/poplin combo is really, really nice.  If I had to pick one out of that group I’ll pick the poplin.

  806. Definitely a fan of the Marl Blazer. Too often the marl look can come off way too much as a Christmas sweater. This blazer hits all the right color levels, even if it does need a little tailoring. As a short guy, I’m used to it 🙂 Keep up the great work, Joe and Crew!

  807. The Cotton Cashmere V-Neck is just so versatile and warm during the fall months.  I have to go with it.

  812. I’d say the Crosby Moc Toe boots. It took a lot of resolve not to add those to my shopping cart when I was stocking up during the 25% off sale. 🙂

  825. Yup, definitely the Crosby Moc Toe Lace Up boots. I have never owned any pair of boots other one pair of Clark’s desert boots, but this would be what I would like to get if I am going to have one.

  827. Those boots are made for walkin’ and that’s just what I’m gonna do since I ordered a pair during the recent sale!  I went with brown, but the black version is very sharp and can go with so much it’s tempting to get the set.  

  835. I’m going with the buffalo check poplin. Being a tall, thin man, I like shirts with patterns, esp. checks and ginghams.

  836. Straight fit heritage jeans has to be my favorite item to purchase from L.E.C!  I never go wrong with picking up a pair.

  838. I’d go with the sweater. Love the blazer, but LEC sleeves are too long for me and they’re too hard to get tailored.

  843. I’d have to go with the Men’s Heritage Buffalo Check Poplin Shirt. I need to add that to my wardrobe.

  846. Definitely that sweater. Lightweight means I can acknowledge that it’s fall, but still wear it here in not-chilly-at-all San Diego.

  851. My vote goes for the Trip Bag.

    I’ve been looking for a replacement carry-on piece and this seems to fit the bill perfectly!

  852. I’ll vote for the Buffalo Check shirt. Cool pattern, and the button down collar is interesting for a shirt that looks like that.

  853. I have to say what truly makes an outfit are those small touches. As a designer, The Crosby Moc Toe Lace-Up boots is a great mesh of form and function. All too often, we take our time planning an outfit from head-to-ankle, and forget about the toe. Living in Denver, the weather is constantly changing, so having versatility with a good boot is key. If I go out to my favorite watering hole and it starts to rain or snow, these boots would fair the weather and look damn good doing it. The last thing a gentleman should be doing is jumping over puddles on a sidewalk to avoid messing up their wingtips. With these, the only concern will be picking up my lady to help her avoid the puddles. It’s a win-win for any man.

    A good boot can take a beating, and constantly look good with its age. We’re gentleman after all, and the Crosby helps us plan for anything.
