Duck boots are a bit of a love/hate item but they sure as hell aren’t going away any time soon. The fact is, thanks to LL Bean they’re a bit of a classic and whatever you think of them it’s hard to argue that they’re a practical piece of kit. Many men would balk at the idea of pulling on a pair of wellies in harsh weather, the great thing about the duck boot is that they protect your feet without having to resort to the trouser tuck-in option. Here we have Common Projects take on them. Polished pebbled leather, these have a thick sole perfect for stomping in puddles if that’s your kind of thing. Catch them over at Colette. -ld

That is the beauty of duck pants: you’ll see the shitty stains but at least you are using them as they should be. Self Edge works with Roy Denim on a pair of selvedge cotton duck canvas pants woven at North Carolina at Cone Mills. Check the internal stash pocket – shhh.

Check the details on the inside and be sure to actually beat and wear yours as they were intended to be.

Another option in the duck boot battle. Office Creative’s Duck Boot shows a less shiny and more weathered look to the silhouette with leather wrapping the boot instead of the traditional rubber. Italian made goodness. Barney’s has them. (acquire)
