Boots and denim are about as natural a pairing as you can get (in the sartorial sense, at least). Hell, none other than Justin Theroux extolled the virtues of the "winter from the waist down" look in our April issue. And with good reason: It's tough, classic, dependable. And unflinchingly American. So it's really just good common sense that Chippewa — 112-year-old purveyors of all manner of rugged boots — would team up with a brand like New York's Jean Shop to celebrate another milestone: the launch of the new, American-made Original Chippewa Reserve Collection.

The result of the Jean Shop collaboration? An eight-inch moc-toe engineer boot crafted from heavily oiled Horween leather sitting atop a Vibram outsole. "As a historic American company, Chippewa is thrilled to partner with a brand such as Jean Shop that believes in the same American-made and American-loved standard as we have since 1901," said Chippewa brand manager Clark Perkins. Jean Shop co-founder Eric Goldstein echoed the sentiment. "Classic jeans and footwear. Made in the USA. A perfect match." Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

The Original Chippewa x Jean Shop engineer boot will be available for $495 this holiday season at Jean Shop's NYC location plus other select retailers. Take another look at the boots below, then keep scrolling to see a few of our favorites from the Reserve Collection, which, ahem, reboots styles from Chippewa's extensive archives.
