We’re always happy to see emails hit our inbox that announce a collaboration between brands we know will get it right.  Last week, we got something letting us know that Bills Khakis had teamed up with Rancourt & Co. for a small collection of shoes, and we were certainly pleased with what we saw; three shoes that look right at home in the collection of each company.  Of course, our favorite is the Lewiston Boatshoe.

Handmade in Maine by Rancourt’s extremely talented staff, these boatshoes will literally last a lifetime.  Made from a deep brown Horween Chromexcel leather that’s paired with a natural leather midsole, and a bright white siped sole that will keep you locked on the deck should things get a little dicey on the water, the Lewiston boatshoes are a steal at under $200. Finished off with rawhide laces, and rustproof metal eyelets, these shoes are just like a pair of Bill’s classic khakis; they look great and will hold up to everything you throw at them and then some.
