Red Wing Shoes - 9030 - Beckman Moc Antique Cigar
Back in the early days of the twentieth century, the streets in Red Wing Minnesota were pretty much either muddy or dusty. A businessman like Mr Beckman therefore needed sturdy boots that could be polished to reflect his status as a successful shoe company owner. The ‘9030’ is part of the Beckman collection. This collection is based on the boot’s classic Red Wing styling and the use of exclusive Black Featherstone dress leather. This leather is both light-weight and durable, which explains the name of this particular boot. These 6-inch boots feature an embossed moc toe style, 9 eyelets and a Vibram sole for solid grip. Also available in black. Maintenance: Leather Conditioner and to polish: Shoe Cream.

The perfect match in style, and probably the oldest match in history is definitely Red Wing Shoes and Levi's Vintage Clothing. We simply love this look at Tenue de Nîmes, the Red Wing Shoes 8125 8" Classic Moc Blueberry Muleskinner together with the amazing Levi's Vintage Clothing 1890 501 XX Spur Bites Limited Edition jeans. The Levi® Strauss & Co. archives bought the original jeans in 1997 for $25,000. These legendary jeans were made between 1890-1901 in San Francisco with XX 9 oz. denim from the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in Manchester, New Hampshire. The name ‘Spur Bites’ refers to the damage at the leg openings that are typically the result from wearing spurs and riding boots, something cowboys from back in the day were well familiar with. The spur bites were repaired with a number of patches from a variety of denims, one of which is the same as the jeans itself. This suggests that it was at least the second pair the wearer owned. He sacrificed one pair to save another. The yarns were dyed with natural indigo. This piece is sewn in the USA, limited to 501 pairs worldwide. A truly amazing piece to accompany your Red Wing boots.
We found another old cabinet photo of a group of miners in the Jack Possum Mine, Wentworth, Missouri. There's not much information on this mine, but with a little research we found out that it was owned by Smith & Hodges Mining Co. and was one of the largest in that area around 1915 to dig for sphalerite, the most common zinc ore.
It's a beautiful picture that breaths the dark underground atmosphere, the young brave men wearing heavy boots, denim overalls and dungarees accompanied by a hinny on the right for the real heavy work. A great addition to our growing collection.
