There are surely more than a few style situations on the horizon for you this fall (and myself!) that are going to require you to lace up a pair of the most rugged boots for men. It could be something as light-spirited as a brisk morning tailgate, something in-between like a coffee shop visit and brewery beers, or something more hard-wearing, like a day hike or a upstate getaway.

For those situations and more, meet your new favorite pair of boots, courtesy of Taylor Stitch and Danner.

The two standout West Coast brands — Danner with decades of Pacific Northwest bootmaking excellence, Taylor Stitch with nearly 15 years of crafting the best modern menswear — teamed up on the new Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots.

The resulting pair is an ode to Danner’s lightweight Ridge Hiker, with customary Danner performance details (the brand makes some of my favorite pairs of men’s boots), not to mention Taylor Stitch’s uniquely stylish point of view. And the Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots fit nicely in both worlds, with the proper style details and performance specs to match.

The Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots start from the ground up, literally, with a sturdy yet comfortable Vibram® Kletterlift Thin outsole, the kind that can grip slippery terrain with ease. For even more comfort, they’re amped up with a removable Ortholite footbed, while a GORE-TEX waterproof liner keeps your feet dry. The rich dark brown pebbled leather is distinctive and will develop a handsome patina with age, but it’s the dry-waxed camo side inserts that give these boots an extra dash of style.

The Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots are resoleable, which is great news — you’ll have these USA-made men’s boots for years to come. Speed hooks deliver a secure fit and a classic hiking boot touch, which is ideal for even more stability on uneven terrain.

Of course, you can rock the Taylor Stitch x Danner Ridge Boots more simply, say with a pair of Taylor Stitch indigo denim and a Taylor Stitch workshirt, for easygoing fall pursuits aplenty. Get ahead of the curve and invest in the best for early fall with the latest and greatest from Danner and Taylor Stitch.
