After reading Moses’s recent post on The Boat Shoe Redesign, i remember a couple weeks back while i was scouring the net for some early Xmas gifts i stumbled across the latest Vans Chukka Del Barco LX Pack.

Released from Vans Vault as part of their winter collection these two colourways, Almond/Turtledove and Coffee/Turtledove (Turtledove? really, they couldn’t think of another colour along the lines of Brown), are ideal for the subtle winter palette. Although you might not want to wear them all the time, firstly even though its made from premium leather any type of material will takes it’s toll on the winter weather and secondly, as it’s going for £140 you wouldn’t want to ruin them for the first reason would you? But don’t let those reasons go against them as the detailing of the stitches and the custom Del Barco logo makes up for it.
