Made in the USA, iconic Ranger Moc silhouette from Maine’s Rancourt & Co., chocolate-brown bison leather, and NOT final sale.
They also kinda look like Ed Gein got ahold of a California Raisin and executed his particularly ghoulish brand of “arts and crafts” on said unfortunate grape.

At least on the screen that’s what they look like. But J. Crew has been struggling with their in-studio photography for a bit now. Don’t take my word for it, look at the reviews from other products. Their site is scattered with customer reviews basically saying this item does not look the same in person as it does online.

Bison is a big-grain material. And a quick search on the Rancourt website turns up another Bison Leather Camp Moc (with a Lactae Hevea outsole) and that Bison isn’t so… Raisiny.

So expect that grain to be big.
Real big.

Spring and Summer are on the way.
That’s all.
Carry on.
