New in The Shop.
S&S Pick of The Week.
The John Lofgren Bootmaker M-43 boots are easily among our favorite shoes of all time. They've got an easy and comfortable fit, built around the iconic Munson last with the best materials on the market, featuring an unstructured toe and beautifully-stitched uppers. Over time, the natural roughout leather will darken, developing a dramatic patina in accordance with how you wear these.

We had S&S Writer/Contributor Charles McFarlane come talk about the iconic Jacket, Combat, Winter, aka the "Tanker Jacket" with us at our NYC shop. Arguably less flashy than some of the other standout styles of WWII, it was easily one of the most popular amongst servicemen, and continues to live on today in popular culture and media.
