Do you want the famed comfort of UGGs in the summer without getting too toasty? UGG makes some terrific men’s and women’s sandals for the summer season that allow you to stay UGG-y while letting your toes see some much deserved sunshine. The Women’s Hamoa, pictured above has a sheepskin lining on the foot-top strap, which is oh so comfy and the Men’s Bennison pictured below is perhaps the cushiest men’s flip-flop in the land.

R.M.Williams Saddle Dressing is a leather conditioner that works wonders on R.M.Williams and Blundstones alike (and on any other leather product for that matter, be it a couch or a handbag). It keeps leather moisturized, which also helps keep up water repellency and makes any pair of leather boots look gooood. Some people think that polish is good enough to care for a leather boot, but that’s not necessarily true. Think of saddle dressing as a moisturizer and a polish as a make-up. It’s more important to keep the leather in good condition by keeping it moist, but you can always use polish if you get a nick or scuff in a boot and you need to replace some colour.

For the month of March we are having a contest! When you purchase saddle dressing you can enter to win an R.M.Williams belt with a logo buckle. And if you win, you will have one more fabulous leather product that will shine and beam after a little drink of saddle dressing.

For years we have been carrying the CSA Greenpatch™ safety boot, a comfy no-laces alternative to the traditional lace-up safety boot. They have a slip resistant sole, safety toe cap and shank, and Deluxe Poron™ Footbeds.

They are loved by people in all lines of work–chances are you’ve eaten a meal prepared by someone who wore these in a restaurant kitchen or you’ve sat in a house built by a Blundstone-wearing builder.

Now there is a new kid on the block– the CSA Greenpatch™ in nubuck “Crazy Horse” leather. These puppies will wear in beautifully–when treated they turn a few shades darker or you can leave them alone and let the nubuck work in on its own. Don’t forget, the safety boots also come in black and brown, if nubuck isn’t your thing.

Icebreaker made it into Time Magazine! Click here to read the article about the birth of the brand and how it is influencing the outdoor apparel market. Icebreaker is made from merino wool, a very renewable resource, where many competitors use petroleum based synthetic fabrics to make their apparel. This is just one of the reasons we love the product.

Meet the UGG Lo Pro Button, a summery new UGG that is a little bit lighter than its fully sheepskin lined counterparts. It has a light and breathable cotton jersey knit material on the upper and a sheepskin sock liner on the bottom to keep feet cozy, but never ever sweaty. Sheepskin is a natural fibre that wicks away moisture from your tootises, so fear not, you don’t have to give up UGGs for the summer. Another fancy little feature about this newcomer is if you decide to unbutton the boot and fold it over there is a nice pink striped pattern on the inside. Oo la la.

When you love ‘em, you love ‘em. Mike Soroka bought a pair of R.M.Williams Comfort Craftsman boots several months ago, and now there’s no stopping him. He’s already on to special ordering RM clothing and is working on getting a pair of RM custom-made top boots. When he isn’t lovingly caring for his Comfort Craftsman boots or teaching his cat, Pearly, about the quality of the RM brand he can be found writing an entry to Outback Magazine, an R.M.Williams publication out of Australia. He is entering a short story and this photo of his cat to the magazine in hopes of winning an R.M.Williams prize. Best of luck, Mike! We’re here to support your new addiction!

Is that Sidney Crosby wearing Icebreaker? Nope, although this Icebreaker model does show a striking resemblance to Canada’s hockey darling, it’s not him. But hey, I bet Sidney would love Icebreaker Pure Merino Clothing. The lighter merino garments are not only great for winter layering on and off the hockey rink, they are amazing in summer. Merino wool wicks moisture away from your body and the texture of the merino is breathtakingly soft. Contrary to popular belief, wool in the summer can be an excellent idea!

We have some wonderful new Icebreaker additions this Spring including some great printed Ts for men. Above you can see Sidney the Icebreaker model wearing a Men’s 150 Tech T Lite Crosscut with a delightful circular print on the side.

Look what book jacket caught our eye in the window of our neighbourhood music shop, Rotate This. Displaying yet another excellent place for Blundstones–the stage.
