Venerable boot maker Nick’s Boots is moving up in the world. As in, up the body from foot to torso. That’s right, Nick’s has joined forces with Heat Straps, a hearty American workwear brand that’s new on the scene with gear that speaks for itself.
Collaborating on a Patriot Type 1 Jacket, Ranchman Jacket, and Leather Patriot Type 3 Jacket, Nick’s and Heat Straps have treated us to a trio of heritage-inspired classics that will stand the test of time just as well as the designs they were inspired by have. Making use of time-honored, heavy-duty materials including 20 oz. waxed canvas and roughout leather, expect sturdy initial wears that eventually melt into one-of-a-kind buttery fits that feel like a second skin. Sound like any footwear you know?
Whether worn to hit the town as part of a Sunday best ensemble or used for – you know – actual labor, any of these 3 fit the bill down to their snap-button closures. Each jacket is made in the USA by Heat Straps, a maker run by career firefighters who know what it takes to create robust workwear.
Available from $700 at Nick’s Boots.
