Men’s Style Pro + Awl & Sundry Presents: The Napa Slipper

It’s been in the making for a minute (can’t rush perfection) and now I happily present – The Napa slipper. 

I’ve partnered with online custom footwear brand, Awl & Sundry, to design a limited edition shoe that I was essentially searching for over the last few years. Black watch plaid footwear is hard to come-by, so creating my own design was the only option. 

Tuxed

The Details:

Each pair of Napa slippers is handmade with:

• Leather soles & insoles
• Wool, black watch plaid uppers
• Blue wool back seam stripe
• Blue wool piping 

Instead of going the suede route, my goal was to create a slipper that you could wear the majority of the year. The texture of the wool makes give this slipper the versatility of a sneaker in the fact that you can pair them with denim or you could rock them with a tuxedo to add some pop without peacocking.

Personally, when looking at my style & how The Napa slippers fit into it, these shoes are a true bridge of my sartorial tastes. Sportswear is my main vibe, however; I’m often suited — which is how people tend to see me. This slipper finds a way to amp up a very casual look, but, they gives a off a casual -and yet slightly more sophisticated approach to tailored menswear (i.e. tuxedo).
