SHARP & Timberland
Now that we’re less than a month away from the holidays, we’re counting down the days to winter vacation. Before planning the celebration, though, we’ve got to hit the stores. While there’s no one-size-fits-all for gifting, we like our presents to be functional enough for frequent use, while retaining a unique style that leaves a lasting impression (read: not another peppermint-scented candle). Ahead of your holiday party, we’ve picked out nine gifts from Timberland that combine the best of everyday durability with eye-catching designs to stand out from the crowd. We’ve got fashionable lace-ups to brave the iciest of sidewalks and printed scarves made from 100% recycled material. Unwrapping an insulated jacket, 6-inch boots, or edgy pair of cargo pants, even U2’s Bono would say he found what he’s looking for.
What happens when waterproof technology meets premium leather? You’re looking at it. Timberland’s Treeline boots strike a balance between form and function, blending a sharp, charcoal-coloured contour with durable material and craftsmanship that makes daily use possible. Plus, these sleek boots have a warm faux-fur lining to keep your toes safe from the winter. ($170)
This jacket found a home on our list of winter-ready picks, but it’s made with technology developed for truly out-of-this-world antics. Boasting Outlast® tech — a NASA-commissioned technology that absorbs, stores, and dispenses heat — the Strafford jacket is well-positioned to take on Canadian winters. The jacket is still plenty earth-conscious, though: Timberland saves excess material from its manufacturing process, repurposing the fabric into a recycled cotton for chic jackets like the one you see here. ($180)
Stylish as it is, there’s no need to tie yourself to menswear this holiday season. This pair of platform boots can make anyone smile. Pirmaloft® insulation complements the industrial feel of these lace-ups, while a memory foam footbed doubles down on comfort. ($200)
Soft fabric aside, this scarf flaunts an earthy-coloured functionality that pairs well with classic winter wardrobes. The woven Timberland logo pops on the inverted colour scheme, tapering down to a subtle brown fringe. Sustainable material backs up the natural look — it’s completely made from recycled polyester. ($58)
Humberto Leon, known for his poly-brand label Opening Ceremony, teamed up with Timberland for the Future73 collection — a capsule designed for the suave globe-trotter. The molded rubber foxing complements a jet-black pouch and silver zipper, adding a steampunk edge to the rugged look. The dramatic outsole ensures that these boots will stand out on the streets. Since they’re available in a black or wheat nubuck, tailoring your gift to the recipient is a breeze. ($320)
Camouflage just got an upgrade: this fleece sports an all-over print that grounds its moss-green glow with versatile grey and charcoal accents. Soft and comfortable, the full-zip jacket is perfect for the unpredictable patterns of fall and spring weather. In the snowy season, it’s easily worn under a hard-shell winter jacket. ($130)
Got a couple of camping fans in your circle? These Mt. Lincoln boots are calling their name. Top-notch construction includes molded rubber, premium leather, and ReBOTL fabric (made with a minimum 50% recycled materials). Their soles offer a comfortable loft, warm insulation, and a removable sockliner that’s made for the hiking trail. ($180)
Cargo pants have been enjoying a renaissance in recent years; lucky for us, today’s designers have embraced their comeback with street-ready threads like these. For the pair of futuristic pants, Timberland tapped Edison Chen — founder and creative director of Clot — to design a pair of intentionally adventurous cargo pants. Embroidered patterns grace the pants’ eccentric pockets for a design that’s as fashionable as it is utility-focused. ($160)
To finish off our gift guide, we looked to the classics. From their timeless silhouette to their premium leather construction, these boots are the blueprint. Enduring aesthetics and useful features — including a steel shank for arch support and a black, padded collar — remind us that durable style is Timberland’s bread and butter. ($200)
