It's one of those lines that stick, because it's bizarre, but also because it's good advice.
An old man was measuring me up for a pair of boots. He told me he had spent a lifetime working outside and this was a retirement job, and I was simultaneously ashamed and flattered that he was treating me, a long-haired youth on my travels, like a blue-collar worker. "You've got to have boots that fit," he said, taking care to measure my foot's width. "You have to take care of your feet." Thanks to that man in Salt Lake City, I developed a lifelong affection for the brand he was selling, Red Wing. In two decades I have had 11 pairs. Men have a tendency, once we've found a thing we like, to stick to it. David Attenborough has his blue shirts – originally used so his shows would have continuity, but which now are a constant in almost every sighting of him. Tom Wolfe wouldn't be without his white suit. Architect Richard Rogers loves bright Nehru shirts. Bill Nighy has navy suits. In an interview for the online retail site Mr Porter, Nighy responded to the question whether this is limiting by answering: "I've selected the things that please me."
The editor of Mr Porter, Jeremy Langmead, stands against this sort of thing (and claims to be constant only to his beard). "Men are a bit more loyal," he says. "When it comes to brands. We're lazier, too, less prone to experimentation. All it takes is for someone to say something nice to a teenager about a T-shirt he's wearing and that boy will be wearing a similar T-shirt when he's 70." That is probably true of me. Not long before buying that first pair of Red Wings, I had been working as an assistant to a geologist in the Australian desert. The Timberlands I had bought for the job had collapsed in the 40C heat, the glue holding the soles melting. The geologists had laughed at me. They all wore Red Wings. I swore that day that while people might laugh at me for many things in the years to come, it wouldn't be because of my boots. Now, looking down the line of the Red Wings I still own, I see they contain memories – some happy (walking through thick, fresh snow in London) and some painful (the pair I'm holding were on my feet when I crashed a glider and broke my back).
They also contain the occasional spider. In truth my loyalty had finally been waning. In the years since I first discovered Red Wings, they have become fashionable – and my, how men hate that. The company set up a "heritage" division, which is enormous in Asia and growing in Europe. Red Wings are already available through shops such as American Classics in Covent Garden, and there is talk of a dedicated London store. I believed it was a betrayal of that working man in Salt Lake City. And then in September I was driving up the edge of the Mississippi and came across the pretty town of Red Wing, Minnesota, itself. I took a tour of the factory and the tannery. For the most part, it is as you'd imagine it. Skins of steers on hangers moving across a wet floor. A master tanner by the name of Andy Rhein wearing a pair of boots made of leather he cured in an ancient way, by burying a skin. In the factory, production lines are staffed by friendly Midwesterners, tough and proud, in T-shirts proclaiming their patriotism, love of sports or even their children.
