UPGRADE YOUR SHOE COLLECTION: TAFT JAWBREAKER SNEAKER
GENTLEMAN, NOWS THE TIME TO STEP YOUR SHOE GAME UP. HERE'S ONE OF MY TOP PICKS FOR SHOE UPGRADES THAT YOU'LL WANT TO CONSIDER! A SHOE WITH VERSATILITY IS KEY!
I received a major upgrade to my sneaker collection this Father’s Day. Taft posted photos of their upcoming releases, which featured a Jawbreaker inspired lace up sneaker. If you know me, then you know that I love unique sneakers such as the Jawbreakers. I commented on Taft’s Instagram page about the shoe and how much I loved them, and I guess my wife caught wind of it. Long story short, I opened a package on Father’s Day and here they are! I have my own pair of The Jawbreakers.
The Jawbreaker sports an Italian sole, Italian wool upper, and 360 stitching. They fit true to size, so no need trying to figure out what size to get.
If you are thinking about copping these sneakers, I would highly recommend them. They will add flavor to your shoe collection and turn heads wherever you go. I personally love the speckle of colors throughout the sneakers and low top cut.
Quick summertime styling tips for The Jawbreaker
· Cropped pant, Cropped denim or cuffed denim (you can practically wear any color denim with these)
· Striped tee shirt (the darker the better, but lighter colors will do as well)
· Pair of shades (tortoise)
TAFT JACK BOOT REVIEW: MEET THE JACK BOOT IN CALICO BY TAFT!
I AM A HUGE SUCKER FOR PATTERNED FOOTWEAR, BUT THESE TAKE THE CAKE. I HAD THE CHANCE TO CATCH UP WITH TAFT OWNER KORY STEVENS ABOUT THESE BOOTS. HERE'S WHAT HE HAS TO SAY...
If you don't know about the Taft Jack Boot in Calico then you need to become familiar. This particular Jack Boot is one of the most sought after pairs of Taft Boots. If you missed the preorder period, that is it folks, these will not be stocked again. I had the opportunity to catch up with Kory Stevens, who is one-half of the founder duo at Taft. Being curious in nature, I wanted to know how the Calico Boot came to be. Well here's what Kory had to say!
" I went to the factory late last year and I happened to be there for a really big textile fair. It was there that I found this wool with amazing texture and detail. Never seen wool like this before so I knew I had to get it."
"I got the textile sample and ended up designing the Calico Boot for myself. I loved it, but I knew it would be super polarizing and not sure how anyone would react to it. I just designed it for myself an planned on keeping it just for me."
"I posted a photo of it on Instagram really casually and everyone freaked out over it. I got tons of emails and texts about it, so I ended up putting it online for preorder."
Well, there you have it. That is how the Jack Boot in Calico came to be! Check out the images below of my pair of Calicos. Stay tuned to see how I style these beauties ;) Drop some comments below to let me know what you think about the boots.
WATCH COMPANY YOU'LL WANT TO KNOW: THOMAS EARNSHAW
A WELL BUILT WATCH AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE IS HARD TO FIND NOW-A-DAYS. HERE'S A LOOK AT A COMPANY THAT OFFERS BOTH A GREAT PRICE AND QUALITY CRAFTMANSHIP OF THEIR WATCHES. DISCOVER THOMAS EARNSHAW WATCH COMAPNY.
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a watch fanatic that keeps endless watches on deck. I look closely at the craftsmanship quality when making the decision to purchase a watch. Why invest in something that is going to break a few months later? That wouldn't be a smart investment. I've been following the Thomas Earnshaw Instagram page for a while and have been by impressed by their watch designs. The Longitude Moon Phase Automatic instantly caught my eye and made me realize that I didn't own a navy watch.
The Longitude Moon Phase Automatic sports an automatic moon phase and date dial with apparent roman applied indexes. It large classically formed case and see-through back allow you to see all the inner workings.
"The Longitude Moonphase timepiece from Earnshaw is a fitting tribute to the ingenuity, intelligence and grace in design of the works from Earnshaw." Thomas Earnshaw Company
