There is nothing like an American Classic, Sebago. Classic can also be done with a twist.  The Osmore Boot.  In many ways, this is a true classic, with even more of a twist.

Featuring full grain waterproof leather uppers with waxy  leather and plaid wool panels, the Osmore’s stitch detailing brings it all together with leather rawhide laces and durable cement construction. Leather sock linings and midsoles cradle your feet in comfort, and the Vibram® rubber lug soles provide traction and support. So whether you’re heading to a rustic day at work, enjoying the weekend, or out shoveling snow, the Osmore has it covered.

“Often thought of as a ‘summer’ brand, we’ve broken out of this category with the Autumn/Winter Collection. The new innovative and expanded line remains anchored in our commitment to top quality, but delivers a more modern, sophisticated product, which is relevant for consumers irrespective of their lifestyles” stated Gary Malamet, Sebago’s Group VP and General Manager.

The Sebago-Moc Company was founded in 1946 by three New England natives: Daniel J. Wellehan, Sr., William Beaudoin and Joseph Cordeau. Their first shoe, the hand-sewn penny loafer, was styled after the popular Indian moccasins and pioneered what would become the company’s patented welt construction. Two years after the initial founding, Sebago-Moc would sell its breakthrough leather boat shoe to Uniroyal. Now part of Wolverine WorldWide Inc., based in Rockford, Michigan, the Osmore Boot is still made in Maine.

Sebago has taken inspiration from its deep rooted history in New England style of fashionable, yet functional footwear, to create collections to tell a story to its consumer bringing the brand to life. In addition, through exclusive collaborations, Sebago is also developing footwear with another American heritage notable, Filson.  Combining these two iconic American heritage notables, the brand continues to put itself on the pulse of today’s style savvy man.  Sold globally, in over 180 countries, Sebago is a classic with a twist.

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular
International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out
Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.

Although Dr. Martens has built its legacy as a go-to for boots, it’s hardly been considered rugged material- until now. With their latest collaboration with thisisneverthat, Dr. Martens is taking its classic styles and giving it a tough upgrade. Donning a new look each, these are far from the fresh and sleek new boots you’ve grown accustomed to. These new workwear boots are made to be worn out, give your footwear a unique story, and maximize use.

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign
Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time
Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."
