Red Wing Explore New Terrain and Retrace Old Paths In Issue 2 of the Red Wing Post

Some things just don’t come round often enough; the Red Wing Post is one of them. So, when the annually released newspaper drops, there is cause for celebration.

The Red Wing Post is a collection of all things Red Wing; celebrating the company’s illustrious 110-year history. Throughout the paper, you will find tales about the history of the Red Wing, anecdotes from die-hard Red Wing wearers, glimpses into the archive and detailed stories from the new bread of Red Wing wearers.

Up and down Germany, the Red Wing Shoe Stores put on beers and food, and brought together Red Wing fans from far and wide. Naturally, there were a lot of beards, bikes and tattoos to go with the great chat and a chance to catch up with good friends.

Head into your nearest Red Wing Shoes Store and pick up a copy.

Matt Wilson

Before turning his attention toward clothing and fashion, Matt Wilson was a product designer. He witnessed first-hand the unethical manufacture of products designed and developed specifically for obsolescence and quickly recognised the inherent dangers of this attitude towards consumerism. A happy chance occurred when he discovered Raw Denim. Fascinated by the narrative contained in each garment, this newfound passion led him into a journey of discovery through the fashion and clothing industry. The qualities he found in a great pair of jeans he soon found in other garments, shoes and accessories. Up until February 2017, Matt was heavily involved with Selvedge Run, a trade show for menswear, shoes and accessories. A home for brands with a philosophy that aligned perfectly with his principles of craft and quality at the core of a good product. He now shares this passion the as the Editor of Rope Dye, an online men’s lifestyle magazine about the passion for well-crafted menswear as well as other cherished products and designs that baulk against today’s throw-away culture.
