Jake Davis Test Shots: Street Etiquette For Sebago

The duo from Street Etiquette has teamed up with boating shoe brand Sebago and Ronnie Fieg to create the Tassel Moccasin. In a test shot filmed by Jake Davis, the shoe hybrid is modeled by SE’s Travis who has embodied this look by styling it up with a white dress shirt and tie, Tom Ford eyewear and a broken-in chino. The shoe is reminiscent of Minnetonka’s moccasins in the burnt pumpkin colorway, with handstiching on top, hard sole and updated with a sleeker shape and tassels. This shoe is a great new take on traditional footwear and who better to present it than the fellas at Street Etiquette.

The Libertines Are Back - All You Need To Know

After watching the Libertines at Leeds festival 2010, Steve and Maher witnessed the re-make of the 'electric chemistry' (as described by NME) between Pete Doherty and Carl Barat.

The pair made the crowd go wild, so much so that they had to take a break in the middle of their set because people at the barriers were getting crushed. Thankfully, no harm was caused, and the re-union of the 1997-formed group was enjoyed by everyone.
