Nick’s Boots x Heat Straps Outerwear Collaboration is Rough ‘n’ Waxed

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.
