introduced in 1912. one hundred two years. a mere year or two over century. leon leonwood's first offering is an american classic. and come fall into winter, there is simply nothing better.
made in maine by hand and available in various heights and color ways. shearling lined or unlined. along with the more recent option of a waxed canvas upper. the 10" bean or hunter may be the place to start.
and while the initial price point of $100+ may deter some -- the comfort, durability, and quality -- along with a life time guarantee should allay any hesitation. simply put, these are an investment piece and will last you your lifetime.
worn with a jean or thick wale corduroy -- tucked in or with a slight roll. rain, puddles, mud. snow. the inevitable grime grey slush that coats city corners. whether accidental or purposeful -- just not a problem.
and come spring, they'll go away -- save that eastern summer storm or well planned run to glasto. but fall, fall, fall... it always returns.
