Wolverine 1000 Miles | Inbetweenisode Vol. 12 min read

The crisp, cool autumn days are upon us.

And as the leaves change so too does a man’s wardrobe.

Layers become important as ever. Out come the vests, jackets, blazers, sweaters, flannel and corduroy. Functional, yet stylish pieces like scarves and gloves become everyday accessories.

Fall is undoubtedly a stylish man’s favorite season—a season ideal to step foot in a clean, classic, and stylish pair of brown boots.

Enter Wolverine.

This week’s post I’m dubbing an “in-between-isode.”

You can expect a feature of an article of clothing I’m loving at the moment or perhaps my thoughts and musings on various men’s style topics.

As I list in my about section, the purpose of Gentleman Within is 3-fold:

1. To talk all things men’s style/lifestyle
2. To teach, inform and inspire to the best of my ability
3. To document my own style journey so that I can learn and grow along the way

I’m always a student first.

With my interest in menswear, I’m learning what it means to be a well-dressed man in today’s world. It’s a joy to experiment with new styles and brands.

Recently, I bought my first pair of Wolverine boots for the fall season.

I purchased the boots at Nordstrom during their Anniversary sale; their biggest one of the year.

It’s a new model called the ‘Adrian.’ Nearly identical to the ever popular ‘Evans‘ boot, the only difference being that it has a cap-toe instead of a plain-toe.

I’m personally a fan of the cap-toe as it’s more casual and adds subtle decoration without the extra embellishment of a brogue.

130 Years of Heritage

According to Wolverine:

For over 130 years, the Wolverine brand has been the sturdy sole that helped shape a nation. We are born of work. Hard work. The kind of work it takes to build the things that endure for generations. Our storied and unwavering legacy in work continues to build our future.

Today Wolverine honors its heritage with a collection of boots and shoes inspired by archival patterns that are crafted with great attention to detail using the same construction methods as the original. The Wolverine 1000 Mile Collection embodies the pillars of Wolverine’s heritage — comfort, durability, function and style.

Values to admire to say the least.

1000 Mile ‘Adrian’ In a Nutshell:

The Wolverine 1000 Mile boot is a classic.

Made of a lustrous, high-quality leather that enlivens a ruggedly built boot, it also features a smart Goodyear welt for improved durability.

It has a leather upper and lining with a Vibram sole for extra traction.

And to top it all off, it’s made in the USA.

You’ll be proud to put a thousand miles in these boots.
