Lucchese Jonah Boots
Save 37%:Founded in San Antonio in 1883, Lucchese offers some of the best Western boots of the market. Along with its more traditional styles, it offers some modern silhouettes that are appropriate for a range of settings. For example, its Jonah boot blends the heel and toe of a traditional roper with a narrow side-zip shaft. The Lucchese site says it’s equestrian-inspired, but apart from the zipper and slim profile, the style doesn’t scream horseman. It’s a slim boot that pairs well with modern pants, a style both versatile and rooted in tradition.
Handmade in Texas, the boot features a black suede upper, a 7-inch shaft with a Riri zipper and a leather outsole. If you’re looking to pick up a pair, head over to Zappos where the style is currently 37 percent off. Though pricey at $500, it’s a versatile, well-made boot that will serve you for years to come. — John Zientek
Nemo Losi 3-Person Tent
Save $195: Tentmakers employ their most advanced manufacturing processes and innovative materials to make shelters as packable and lightweight as possible. Backpackers are the primary demographic in mind here, but more casual adventurers — the type who head out for one or two nights rather than seven, or regularly make camp next to their car — form a more substantial proportion of those enjoying wilderness. Nemo’s Losi tent is for these folks, and right now it’s 40 percent off (a savings of $195) at Mountain Steals.
