I was turned onto
New England Outerwear this morning on
Instagram (thanks
Judy!). They are a small Massachusetts shoe manufacturer and design house with a few accessories on offer (like
this hat!) and plans for clothing this coming autumn. If there's one thing that really says it all it's their name. The New England-ness is unequivocally there. Very there. Their women's selection is pretty substantial with boots and mocs of different designs and colors, which is nice to see for such a small company with a masculine bent. Those rugged
Fieldsmen Boots with Woolrich
buffalo checked lining and Horween leather ($470) are based off of designs of 19th century New England hunting boots. And their crepe-soled mocs ($300-$330) are pretty spectacular too, albeit a bit spendy. All of
New England Outerwear's designs are made by hand in Massachusetts.

Anyways! In the next year or so we are hopefully going to be offering a lot more women's styles. Keep an eye out for the spring for our boat shoes and summer mocs! Thank you again so much for the love, and let us know if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Be well and have a happy and healthy 2014! : )
