L.L. Bean Buck Chukkas

The L.L. Bean Signature site went live today and with it comes the first proper look at the collection, all that had seen before was the ranger moc's that I wrote about a couple of weeks ago. The footwear collection is quite impressive and for me this is the highlight, the Buck Chukkas. The red-brick sole compliments the tan boot and these would be the perfect summer boot, maybe even better than a sand desert boot.

L.L. Bean Handsewn Ranger Moc

The second these were brought to my attention I knew I had to have them, especially as they are limited to only 100 pairs. These are very similar in shape and colour to the Redwing Chukkas which I have tried to get hold of for a while now. They are also a much cheaper alternative to the Yuketen moccasins which have been gaining praise in the past few months. The only negative point is the two weeks I have to wait for them to arrive from the U.S., but at least they make the effort to send them over the pond.
