Penfield was established in Hudson, Massachusetts in 1975. Penfield garments are designed to stand up to the demands of the New England climate, yet are equally at home sheltering you anywhere the window blows or rain falls. Penfield garments are made by people who know and love the outdoors. Fashion, function, practicality and durability are the key elements incorporated into every design they manufacture. Penfield will protect you in a variety of weather conditions, and give you years of superior performance. Spring 2012 is now available at both Still Life For Him & For Her.

A century ago, dependable gear was a matter of necessity and a tool for the job. This was a time of self-reliance, living off the land and overcoming whatever circumstances stood in the way.

Inspired by the hardworking loggers, farmers, guides and shopkeepers that braved the harsh New England winters, Timberland's Abington Collection offers classic boots rooted in a tradition of exceptional performance. Updated with modern innovations including waterproof/breathable membranes, Vibram outsoles and American-made materials like Woolrich fabric and genuine Horween Leather, the Abington Collection is built to endure.

After an insane debut in Autumn 2010 and a phenomenal Summer 2011 with Timberland Abington Collection, the boots that are built to last have returned for Autumn 2011 at Still Life For Him in two styles.

• Talking To The Land: Seasons changed, tasks changed—but farm work never stopped. Bitter cold New England winters demanded rugged boots to withstand the weather for days on end. With time, they took on great character. The 6" Farmer Boot from Abington is constructed from premium Horween Leather from Chicago, IL. A breathable leather lining and genuine leather midsole finished with a high-traction Vibram outsole and two laces choices.
• Built to Serve: As townspeople stockpiled winter supplies, and store proprietors carried countless loads to customers, footwear provided traction, durability and comfort—all while looking respectable. The 5" Officer Boot was our number one footwear option last autumn and we've brought it back for the guys who missed out. Premium Horween Leather construction, this durable, lightweight boot has a breathable leather lining and high-traction Vibram outsoles - a dressier boot for the gentlemen wearing this with suiting, the 5" height and cap toe references officer and postman boots of the past.
