Timberland Abington 2012 Fall/Winter Collection | Hypebeast

The Timberland Abington Collection is inspired by a time when people were rugged and their clothes had to be as dependable as their work ethic was. Taking its moniker from Timberland’s original company name, the Abington Shoe Company, the offering contains premium leathers and shoemaking meant to endure the tests of time. The Six Inch Work Boot and the Work Oxford draw their influence from the turn-of-the-century New England mill worker who, when on his feet for hours upon hours, viewed his shoes as perhaps his most valuable tool. The Low Guide Boot is inspired by the long overdue sporting lodge getaway – a place to unwind, recharge and connect with nature before returning to the daily grind of factory work. The Alpine Ox and the Hiker pull heavily from the shoes that were worn by guides while exploring and charting the vast Presidential range deep in the White Mountains of New England. All Abington footwear features premium full-grain Horween leather made in the United States or premium suede from C.F.Stead & Co. of England.
