Rising Sun

In case we did not emphasize enough how great vintage boots go with our painstakingly crafted jeans here is more evidence. Our good friend Frank Barone likes to show off his 1940s WWII Paratrooper Jump Boots worn with Rising Sun Yukon jeans in his prized Ford Model AV8 hot rod. When he throws on his vintage aviator sunglasses he looks just like the dry lake racers of yore. They still produce new boots with the Corcoran mark but we have learned that the vintage boots made to WWII period military specs are truly unique. The Corcoran Jump Boots were on the feet of US soldiers fighting worldwide and in action zones across Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific.

This particular pair features leather uppers in brown color as per the specifications at the time. When the US military changed their boot colors to black some soldiers were referred to as “brown boot soldier” as recognition of old timer status. The beautiful and quiet toe cap detail complements our jean’s stitching and the denim selvage perfectly. When coupled with a cuffed pair of Yukon jeans the boots illustrate why the boot and jeans look will never go out of style.
