Kick Winter to the Curb with Allen Edmonds Shoes

Posted on January 30, 2015January 29, 2015 by clambert

Winter–especially here in Fort Wayne–is the worst when it comes to footwear. Salt lines, water stains, soggy, cold feet, and the list goes on. The best way to combat Mother Nature’s cold streak is with a pair of high-quality, long lasting Allen Edmonds shoes.

Allen Edmonds is the standard bearer of classic men’s shoes and we are proud to carry them. Each pair of A.E.s shoes is constructed via a 212-step process, which, if you want to get technical about it, is actually a 424-step process (212 per shoe). That’s a lot of steps.

But it’s fitting, seeing as you’ll take a lot of steps in your Allen Edmond shoes. They are so well made that they wear well for years, and owners typically have their A.E.s repaired rather than replaced. In fact, many A.E.s are deliberately designed to accommodate easy repairs.

Allen Edmonds reputation for wearing well is more important now that it’s winter, and soon your shoes are being relentlessly exposed to the elements, which unfortunately, is a fate none of us can escape. You can, however, put up a good fight by getting yourself a pair of Allen Edmond shoes.

They use only superior leathers such as calfskin and cordovan, and these materials are combined with cork footbeds to create unmatched comfort. Every shoe remains in the last (a mechanical form that has a shape similar to that of a human foot) for at least 24 hours to ensure that they hold their shape for a lifetime.

Come into Christopher James Menswear today and try on our wide selection of A.E. shoes. We have the best selection in northwest Indiana. Also, an expert sales associate will assist you and make sure you buy a pair that fits properly and comfortably, and give you tips on how to get the most out of your Allen Edmonds shoes.

Must-Have Winter Accessories for Fort Wayne

Posted on January 13, 2015January 13, 2015 by clambert

Sometimes, it’s the small things that make an outfit. In cold weather, one small thing can mean the difference between being toasty or a human popsicle. So, stay warm and stylish this winter in Fort Wayne with these must-have accessories.

Boots
In Fort Wayne, where snow, rain and frigid temperatures often occur all at once, you must have shoes that defy Mother Nature. Wolverine, a maker of reputable work boots, also makes stylish casual boots for men, and they are perfect for standing up to snow, rain and frigid temperatures.

Socks
Nothing else matters when your toes are cold. So, keep your tootsies cozy with the right socks.

A quilted vest
A popular look now is to wear a quilted field vest under a blazer or sport coat. We think it looks quite posh.

A cashmere scarf
Cashmere is a combination of extreme lightness and extreme warmth that only Mother Nature could engineer. This purr-inducing, sophisticated fabric is the fine undercoat of goats that inhabit some of the coldest places on earth (e.g. Mongolia in winter), so it’s silky but incredibly warm. Did we mention it always looks chic? Cashmere is the fabric of the winter season.

A cozy hat
Science has dispelled the myth that you lose most of your body heat through your head, but when the temperature is below zero (as it often is in during a Fort Wayne winter), retaining every bit of warmth helps. So, cap your precious noggin with a warm hat.

Handy Gloves
Sleek leather gloves always look sophisticated. They also always protect your hands from a freezing steering wheel in the morning. Black leather gloves are classic and brown look modern with a dark gray pea coat.
