Rare Red Wing Irish Setter Sport Boots
We were gladly surprised to find images from this unique pair of Irish Setter sport boots. They were bought in Japan somewhere in the 1990s, in the midst of the
Red Wing craze that was just settling back then. Assumably, it's one of the first ever produced Classic Rounds in the Abilene Roughout leather. From the Irish Setter cloth label and with use of the
excerpt from the 2nd Red Wing Book as recently featured on our
Tumblr page, you can tell it's an early 90's manufacture. Nowadays these are produeced as the 8167 Classic Round, unfortunately as a Japanese exclusive. But no need for panic, it's twin brother
8181 Classic Round Hawthorne Muleskinner can be found in our webstore.
Thanks to
