We have just received some new "Specials" in from Tricker's in the past few days and we are really pleased with the results. We did not want to try and re-invent the wheel but just add a few quirks to some off our favorite styles. The Super Boot has been one of our most loved styles since we started out with Tricker's many many years ago and hence two new versions.
The Stone suede has a natural barbour welt and double natural sole and a wide trim with what is now our customary orange pull. We have also re-introduced speed hooks this season after many years with out using them. I suppose the popularity of hiking boots at present has brought about this reintroduction. You also get a second pair of laces in off white.
Any ardent Tricker's fan knows the C-Shade Super Boot as Ripon and now that they no longer carry this in stock in 5 fit we decided to make a version of it. We have changed the tongue to orange suede and put on a natural barbour welt and mid sole along with a commando sole. This is also with speed hooks, wide trimmed and with a orange pull.
The Stow is an up-dated version of the boot that we did for Winter 10 but have now used an orange suede tongue and speed hooks and like its fore-runner, it has a wide trim.
The only shoe in so far is a Derby shoe with a twin row off stitching on the toe. This is to keep the feel of the shoe a bit lighter for the spring summer rather than use a full toe cap. To this we have added what now seems like the legendary Vibram morflex sole with a natural barbour welt and also finished it with a wide trim.
Over the next week or so we should receive a Bourton version off the Stow boot along with a Toe capped version off the Super boot in a dark brown Zugged leather. There will also be two chukkas, one with a wedge crepe and the other with the Vibram morflex.
After the fantastic response to the Tan Scotch Grain Stow Boot last season, we decided to do it again with a few slight changes - an orange suede tongue and 3 hooks at the top instead of eyelets.
Secondly we have a beautiful Stone Brown Suede Super Boot with orange pulls, natural double leather sole and 3 top hooks.
Our first 2 collaborations will be online tomorrow morning with more to follow in the coming weeks.
