Barbour Sapper Jacket

What better way to sport such a bold watch than with some equally-badass outerwear? This Barbour Sapper jacket is both aesthetically and functionally inspired by similar coats employed by the British military. Boasting weather-resistant waxed cotton construction, corduroy lined collar, and a hidden stowaway hood, this jacket is packed with different features. The garment is fully lined and comes with adjustable cuffs and draw cord in the inner waist. Not to mention, the coat is equipped with four flap pockets on the front for storing things like phones, wallets, flasks, and the innumerable phone numbers you’ll receive wearing the Sapper jacket. Though the coat is far from cheap at $429, those familiar with Barbour know that the price is worth every penny.

Orion Leather Latigo Belt

Speaking from personal experience, Orion makes the best belts I’ve ever owned. Handcrafted in the USA of thick full-grain leather, these belts are conditioned with special oils to create a nice, glossy finish on the leather. As soon as I felt the difference in leather, I knew I’d never go back.

These belts retail for around $60-$70, which may deter some of those used to cheaper (yet inferior quality belts). Chances are, you’re going to be wearing a belt nearly every day of your life, so why not invest in one that will last years all while supporting American industry? Remember to order 2 sizes above your waist measurement.

Red Wing Iron Ranger

How else to complete your ensemble of American-made goods than with a rugged pair of Red Wing Iron Rangers? These boots are Goodyear-welted and crafted from sturdy, oil resistant leather, so you can be certain they can handle any task you throw at them. The Iron Rangers are available in a variety of different materials and colors to choose from. A cheaper alternative that’s still made in the USA is the Chippewa Apache Lace-Up boot.
