Tanned by Charles F. Stead in England, Bronze Rough Suede features a nappy finish, creating a rough and natural texture in a rich leather. This comfortable and chunky casual leather will have a wide range of nappiness to the suede. Due to the highly exaggerated and irregular nap of leather, variation should be expected. No two pairs will be the same.
The Garrison boot is our rendition of the classic service boot. Developing out of WWI's trench warfare, the service boot's history has been one of defense. Named after the military fortification and the guards charged with its protection, the Garrison boot conjures up imagery of security, safety, and refuge. Moreover, the name itself ultimately derives from the Germanic word meaning 'to ward off.' The Garrison boot is just that – stable, unyielding protection for your feet.
Featuring a perforated cap toe and backstay that hugs the heel counter, the Garrison boot is our first all-eyelet boot. Further drawing on its military history, we paired the Garrison boot with a lug outsole to offer more robust traction. Combining these elements produces a stylish yet utilitarian boot.
