When he’s not doing photography, he’s writing and working towards his goal of becoming a Marine Aviator. [Click here for Zach’s 5 Favorites.]( A few weeks ago, I received a box containing a pair of Red Wing’s new “Weekender” line Chelsea boots to review for you guys. Now that I’ve had them for a while, and they’ve been safely returned to kind folks who loaned them to us, I’m ready to write this review. I’ve not been paid by Red Wing to do this review, so I’m coming at it unbiased. Nobody likes a shill, and so I won’t be one. As you will see it has a bit of good and bad, and while I won’t be purchasing a pair of these anytime soon, they do fill a niche that some of you may have. Packaging: The boots came neatly packaged in the standard Red Wing box, the same used for Iron Rangers or any of the other boots in their lineup. Included in my review sample were a few accessories including a suede brush, a brass shoehorn, and some shoe care spray. First Impression: These boots are light. Like, really light. I was pretty surprised by this, and immediately gave the boots a once-over, to check the quality. Usually “lightweight” and “cheaply made” are bedfellows in the world of boots, and so I was immediately suspicious. This aside, the stitching was all straight, and the suede was clean, and the boots appeared well finished. But let it be known. If you’re expecting the usual heft and solidness of a traditional Red Wing Boot? You will be sorely disappointed here. [In Review: The Made in the USA Red Wing Weekender Chelsea | Dappered.com]( The whole package that Huckberry sells.You can get just the boots [direct through Red Wing](, for a penny less. Construction: I was informed that this was intentionally a lighter-weight, cheaper construction boot. This relieved me, and so I adjusted my expectations a bit. As previously mentioned, the stitching was straight, and the assembly was neat and identical across both boots. These are designed to be re-soled, which is good, because the current sole is sort of a pseudo-crepe sole that I’m not thrilled with. I think a large part of the “cheap” feeling I got was due to this sole, which I was informed was selected for both weight-saving and economic reasons. This seems to be a hallmark of [Red Wing’s new Weekender line](. Fit: Generally speaking, I go a half size down when I wear boots, but these were a bit snug, so I would get them true to size. Aside from the tightness, which is no fault of the boot, the fit was good. There were no loose seams to rub blisters and the large pull-tabs on the rear of the boots made wearing them easy. Given that Chelsea boots have elastic sides, if you size these properly, you’ll never need to use that shoehorn. [In Review: The Made in the USA Red Wing Weekender Chelsea | Dappered.com]( The “Hill” outsole is lightweight. Real lightweight.And so textured that it looks serrated/maybe even chewed up. Style: I’d say they’re good for casual wear. I wear boots on a daily basis, so I could see using these for general walking around. The elastic would come in handy if I flew for business a lot and had to constantly remove my shoes. The tan suede is a good neutral, and if there are any veterans reading this, they’re almost a perfect match to the Army’s sand colored boots, and not nearly as dark as the coyote tan of my USMC boots. Ideally these seem great when paired with dark wash jeans and a casual sweater, but I’d also be okay rocking them with some chinos. Value: This is where your personal opinion will probably be the deciding factor. I personally think there are better American-made boots for 240 dollars than these. Chippewa has plenty of options in that range, and for a little more you’d be in the range of some of Red Wing’s more iconic shoes. While the construction of these boots is good, I don’t know that it’s any better than less expensive Chelsea boots. That being said, these are Chelsea boots, and so it’s not like you’re going to be herding cattle or storming a beach in them, so for casual wear I imagine they’ll last a long time, especially if you use the suede brush to keep them in good shape. [In Review: The Made in the USA Red Wing Weekender Chelsea | Dappered.com]( Final Verdict: Ultimately, the Red Wing Weekender Chelseas are decently made casual boots by a reputable maker based in the USA. I don’t see them failing at their designed purpose any time soon, and so I give them my stamp of approval. I probably won’t buy a pair, but if you’re in need of a casual suede boot and you don’t want to be bothered with laces, purchasing from a legendary brand like Red Wing is probably a pretty safe bet.

Sometimes it’s good to look at a few suggestions then add your own tweaks and ideas. That’s what these are for. The week before last we brought you a round up of the [best in new affordable men’s style arrivals for spring of 2018](. From that post we created both [casual]( and [middle]( ground looks.  Now we’re combining several of the spring temptation picks to create a well curated suited up look that should still keep you cool in the coming months. [Style Scenario: Spring Temptation - Dressed Up | Dappered.com] The Suit: [Spier & Mackay Light Heather Grey Slim Wool Suit – $328](. Invited to a spring or summer wedding where there might be some dancing outdoors at dusk? Wear this and you just might knock your date’s socks off (or, knock the socks off someone in the wedding party who made the mistake of turning you down all those years back). They say living well is the best revenge. And revenge is a dish best served while well dressed. Also available in [their more generous contemporary fit.]( The Sunglasses: [J. Crew “Palma” Sunglasses – $59.50](. Yes, the same sunglasses in each post of this series. And, why not? A classic shape that is easy to dress up or down. And they won’t break the bank. The Belt: [BR Italian Leather Belt in Cognac – $59.50](//bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1012500&pcid=1012499&vid=1&pid=175910012). A classic thinner belt in smooth leather, with that cognac shade, will keep your outfit on the dressier end of the spectrum. The Shirt: [Nordstrom Smartcare Trim Fit Herringbone Dress Shirt – $49.90]( ($69.50). Or whatever your favorite slim fitting white dress shirt is. The Coat: [Suit Supply]( Raincoat – $499](. Virtually the same as the trench mentioned in our [Spring Temptation]( post, but in navy. 80% wool / 20% poly by Italy’s Vitale Barberis Canonico mill. Storm closure. Taped seams and a broad collar. The breathable wool blend will keep those spring showers from spotting up your suit, without causing you to heat up. The Watch: [Orient Bambino Open Heart – $220.50]( w/ DAPPERED30 ($315). Looks terrific. Lots of color schemes to pick from, including that all blue model shown above. Code is good for 30% off, but these should be up for more than 30% off when they run specific sales. The Shoes: [Allen Edmonds MacKenzie]( $361.25]( ($425). Again, there are two kinds of people in this world. You either LOVE wholecuts (a shoe where the upper is made of one single piece of leather), or you despise them and think they look like clown shoes. And as someone (me) who DOES like them, even I will accept that in static photos, such as the one above, they can look a little Bozo-like. But in person? They are lean, mean, and sexy as hell. Yet again, they ain’t for everyone. ff/Dappered?a=8llXLh3DmZ0:XeRzdticCgc:yIl2AUoC8zA ff/Dappered?a=8llXLh3DmZ0:XeRzdticCgc:qj6IDK7rITs ff/Dappered?a=8llXLh3DmZ0:XeRzdticCgc:gIN9vFwOqvQ You are subscribed to email updates from [Dappered Style Mail]().
