Coming off the Fourth of July weekend, perhaps your mind has been focused on the best USA-made menswear — besides hot dogs and beer and fireworks, of course.
Or rather, perhaps you’ve been focused on menswear made the right way, the better way — not the easy way, but with care, craftsmanship and just a few extra steps in mind. That’s where Bespoke Post goes big-time with its first-ever collaboration with longtime Northeast footwear purveyors Rancourt & Co.
It can be valuable to rethink your men’s style rotation in that way from time to time, starting from the ground up with your footwear — beyond just canvas sneakers or leather espadrilles this summer. And in that regard, there’s Rancourt & Co., a brand with a long lineage when it comes to crafting some of the very best shoes for men, from handsome boots to timeless leather loafers, moccasins and even heritage-inspired sneakers.
That makes the new Bespoke Post x Rancourt Bison Leather Ranger Moc Shoes all the more special: They’re made with pride and limited to just 100 pairs, all the while merging Bespoke Post’s keen eye for sometimes-overlooked brands with the rich quality that Rancourt & Co. consistently delivers.
Hand-sewn in Lewiston, Maine, these pleasingly rugged moc shoes are about as good as it gets, using grain-side and flesh-side bison leather for plenty of texture and eye-catching appeal, then molding that leather into a classic three-eye moc design.
That means the build of the Bespoke Post x Rancourt Bison Leather Ranger Moc Shoes is somewhere between a classic two-eye boat shoe and perhaps a more rugged chukka boot — it can be worn easily with selvedge denim or olive canvas fatigue trousers, with a chunky build that looks right at home all the while.
Meanwhile, the two-tone leather upper will age wonderfully over time, while the option to trade in either boot laces or suede laces gives the Bespoke Post x Rancourt Bison Leather Ranger Moc Shoes even more casual, retro cool and versatility. Bear in mind, the handsome and impossibly stylish Bespoke Post x Rancourt Bison Leather Ranger Moc Shoes are limited to just 100 pairs via Bespoke Post — act quickly to give your seasonal footwear rotation a shot in the arm.
