Real men wear Red Wings
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting a fascinating man yesterday at work. He looked a little like Chong and walked in with two woven Mexican bags full of items to sell to the store. Little did I know my world was about to be rocked by the vintage treasures in those bags. 70′s flowy hippie dresses, 80′s riding boots, beautiful leather pieces…ahhhh I died a little inside. Now, not only did he bring us some amazing treasures, but his personal style was pretty amazing as well. This guy knows his vintage, he wore a basic black tee, with torn up vintage levis, and the most perfectly worn in pair of Red Wing Chukka boots, which he said were from 1976(!), oh and he had a badass silver apache head ring with jeweled eyes. It was one of the most perfect ensembles I had seen on a man in a long time. Were he single and 25 years younger, I would have been all over that LOL! Seriously though, I now implore all the men out there to go out there and get your own pair of Red Wing Chukkas (you need a good chukka in your life anyway) and wear them until every millimeter of that shoe has an amazing story to tell.
Thank you.
