While every fall season brings about remixed boot collaborations, there is nothing like a classic fall boot. Whether you’re reaching for a Chelsea boot or an ankle boot, the options are endless for your quintessential fall footwear. The decision might’ve gotten easier thanks to Oak Street and Billy Reid. In their most recent collaboration, the two brands have banded together to create the ultimate fall boot, inspired by WWI Army boots. With this trench boot, both companies have mixed classic details with modern touches to create a shoe option you’ll reach for year after year.

Donning a classic boot silhouette, the collaborative trench boot is about keeping the details simple and timeless. Featuring Goodyear welt construction, calfskin vamp lining, a partially structured toe, and a hand-lasted storm welt, this boot is complete with the highest quality of craftsmanship. The finishing touches include antique brass eyelets and Billy Reid’s signature grosgrain ribbon. Available in a rich tobacco tone, this boot isn’t flashy, making it a unique shoe in the modern era. Like most rugged boots, this trench boot will need some time to break in, but can equally withstand any situation.

If you are seeing plastic skeletons grace the storefronts, ghosts hanging from the ceiling fans, and candy aisles quadrupling in size, then the Fall is here. Like all seasons, it is time to update the wardrobe for the changing of the weather. While there are dozens of options for the best pieces to pick up this season, suede should be the fabric you go for.

What is suede?
The debate over suede vs. leather is a bit confusing for those who don't know the difference. While some folks will lump them together when listing the best leather jacket options, others religiously separate them. What makes it more confusing is that they are both right.

A brief history of Chelsea boots
