“You got your Rockport x Barbours early? How?”

“What’s my name again? Yeah.”

When you make a footwear collection culling the best of a company known for walking comfort and style with another company known for walking comfort and style, you get the Rockport x Barbour Winter 2011 Collection. The American and British brands decided to put this limited group together (their second) of boots and casual dress shoes so you can look your best when Uncle Conrad and Aunt Ginny visit for the holidays.

The collection consists of the Breaktrail Cap Toe boot in Polar/Sage, the Day To Night Buckle Hi boot in Raize/Sage and Camel/Muted Tartan, and the Day To Night Wingtip in Raize/Sage and Camel/Tartan. Each piece goes with just about the highest quality leathers you can imagine and, of course, the comfort and style that Rockport and Barbour specifically built in.

And they’ve got an unofficial celebrity endorser. Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted recently in the Breaktrail boot, as you’ll see below. So yeah, take that all ye style doubters. The Rockport x Barbour Winter 2011 Collection releases in December to Bloomingdale’s, Paragon Sports (NY), The Tannery (Boston), Zappos.com, and other specialty spots across the U.S. of A.
