Editor’s Note: These promotional galleries were put together by the gents at Huckberry<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n For over three generations, <\/span>Red Wing\u2019s Heritage boot collection<\/a> has kept pace with some of America\u2019s toughest workers \u2014 miners, loggers, even paratroopers. Along the way, the Minnesota-based brand has forged a reputation as solid as their footwear, and now,<\/span> thankfully<\/span>, Red Wing is putting their best foot forward \u2014 into the weekend. Their <\/span>Weekender Chukka<\/a> is<\/span> built from the soles up with the same American-built quality and handmade detail as their work boots, but offer a sophisticated, albeit more casual, look. <\/span><\/p>\n Also known as “desert boots” this style of shoe is lightweight, makes for great footwear in the spring and summer, and can be easily dressed up or dressed down for wherever the weekend takes you. Plus, the Chukka offers amazing comfort straight out of the box. Absolutely zero breaking-in required. All this adds up to an<\/span> off-the-clock shoe<\/i>-in. Which is why we bugged Ben, one of the best-dressed guys and resident Chukka Connoisseur at Huckberry, to show us exactly how to wear them for each day of the weekend (plus Friday!). Long live <\/span>Red Wing<\/a>, and long live the weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re firm believers that you should never dress for the job you have, but for the job you want, even — and maybe especially — on Casual Fridays. Red Wing\u2019s <\/span>Weekender Chukka (in <\/span>Copper Rough & Tough<\/a> or <\/span>Hawthorne Muleskinner<\/a>) is the place to start. They feature r<\/span>oughout leather<\/span>, which is made using a reverse-suede technique. While most tanneries split, thin, and weaken the hide to create the rough suede surface, Red Wing simply uses the other side of the hide, making it just as durable as other leathers. <\/span><\/p>\n Socks are optional here, but try pairing the shoes<\/span> with some nice rolled-up <\/span>chinos. <\/span>Taylor Stitch makes a super-comfy, dark green pair<\/a> from breathable, brushed Spanish twill. For shirts, <\/span>Apolis\u2019 light blue Oxford Button Down<\/a> is an optimal choice. Each one is meticulously crafted from a 90-year-old Honduran tailoring collective with super soft cotton milled in Brazil. If your office runs a tad chilly, we recommend <\/span>Copin\u2019s Brushed Cotton Shirt Jacket<\/a>. Finish it off with <\/span>Arcade Belt\u2019s bestselling and high tensile elastic Hudson<\/a>, and <\/span>this minimalist Tsovet timepiece<\/a>. All things considered, both are super-affordable and complete the casual, refined wardrobe we want for a Casual Friday — one that\u2019ll seamlessly carry us into after hours. <\/span><\/p>\n Think about it for a minute: there are only 53 Saturdays in 2016. When this post goes live, 18 are gone, leaving just 35. If you\u2019re a typical 9-to-5er like us, that means there are only 35 perfect days remaining where you\u2019re entirely the boss. So, why not dress the part for what should be the week\u2019s high point? For this, start with Red Wing\u2019s <\/span>Weekender Chukka in the <\/span>Copper Rough & Tough<\/a> colorway. Built from premium quality, oil-tanned leather, it\u2019s water, stain, and perspiration resistant, and gives a subtle shine. <\/span><\/p>\n Saturday nights call for nothing less than the best selvedge denim, which means a pair of <\/span>Tellason\u2019s Elgin Slim Taper<\/a>. They\u2019re cut from Cone Mills White Oak red-line raw selvedge. In time, they\u2019ll mold to your body shape and produce entirely unique fade patterns. (Read the full care instructions <\/span>here<\/a>). <\/span>Katin\u2019s Cloud Short Sleeve<\/a> is a great shirt choice with its summertime surf vibes and carefully-woven cotton construction. If you\u2019re not a watch guy, check out <\/span>Studebaker\u2019s handsome line of hand-forged cuffs. Ben is partial to the <\/span>Lodge Cuff<\/a>\u2019s simple silhouette and sterling silver construction. When rain falls, stay dry with K-Way\u2019s super-portable <\/span>Rain Jacket<\/a>. It can be easily stowed in its own waterproof pocket<\/span>, which is small enough to fit in your lady\u2019s purse.<\/span><\/p>\n For those Sundays spent out and about, the name of the game is casual comfort. The <\/span>Weekender Chukka is still the perfect place to start. Try the tan suede <\/span>Hawthorne Muleskinner<\/a> colorway for a less dressy alternative to the <\/span>Copper Rough & Tough. Whichever suits you, <\/span>Red Wing has equipped both with a patented insole and footbed for superior comfort. Again, no break-in-period required. They\u2019re ready for Sunday Funday right out of the box. <\/span><\/p>\n Now for pants, <\/span>Iron & Resin\u2019s USA-made <\/span>Trenchtown Pant<\/a> gets our pick. It sports a lightweight, breathable cotton twill weave and waist cinch drawcord. Pair it with <\/span>Duckworth\u2019s Vapor Tee<\/a>. Its fabric cools you due to conductive Re-Vaporation, which really kicks in during exercise. If it\u2019s still a bit chilly in your neck of the woods, warm up with this <\/span>Pocket Sweatshirt<\/a> from<\/span> Todd Snyder x Champion. Complete the look with a <\/span>Timex Chronograph<\/a> watch, which continues to be one of Huckberry\u2019s all-time bestselling items. It\u2019s easy to see why: vintage 3-dial face (in Navy or Cream), handsome leather strap, and button stud fastening.<\/span><\/p>\n ______________________<\/p>\n Join Huckberry<\/a>\u2019s 1 million+ adventure community.
