There are few items of footwear that meet the business casual standard better than the chukka boot. It’s more relaxed than a dress shoe, without being too casual. Greats’ Royale Chukka has proven that applying the same silhouette to a sneaker works wonders, too, turning out a pair that looks great for kicking it back in the weekend, without making a nice outfit look sloppy. If you’re not quite enthused with the colorway selection they had before, check out the new Greats x Orley Royal Chukka collaboration.

It’s the same silhouette as Greats’ popular mid-height kicks, but this time, draped in fabrics taken from Orley’s fall/winter 2015 collection. That’s right, a casual chukka silhouette in sneaker form combined with the high-end clothing company’s cold weather garment materials – sounds like the kind of shoes we wouldn’t mind rocking for the next couple of months.

The Greats x Orley Royale Chukka comes in three different fabrics: Harris tweed for those who want to pair patterned garments with patterned footwear; a custom Italian floral brocade that, surprisingly, doesn’t look feminine whatsoever (a clever trick because they used the reverse side of the original fabric as the exterior); and a smooth techno black cotton for those who prefer their shoes in more conservative, block colors. Each pair is handcrafted at Greats’ Italian studio, with Vachetta calfskin lining, matte black Margom sole, and black waxed cotton laces.
