In 1950, a beautiful new leather was created specifically for Red Wing using a dye made from the bark of trees with a naturally red coloration. The leather was named “Oro Russet” for the richness of its color, a color that resembled the coat of an Irish Setter hunting dog, and was used to build some of the first 877 style boots.

I finally found someone to resole the 1950’s G.H. Bass & Co Quail Hunter Boots.
Can’t wait to see these with a white Vibram.
3 weeks and counting!

This A2 jacket was worn by Jack D. Cornett, a WWII fighter pilot shot down over Paris in 1943. He later escaped through Spain in 1944 as described in Peter Eisner’s book “The Freedom Line”. After repatriation, he was sent to Okinawa, where he spent the remainder of the war as one of the Army Air Corps ” Blue Angels”.

Vintage picture of a guy getting his feet measured at a Red Wing Shoe Store
(via thedenimindustry)
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.
From London England, relocated to Portland Oregon.
Americana.
