Fur swag on one trillion. Shouts to Matthew Henson…
Dirty Jerz and Sean Price both sent me images of this parka. No doubt the joint is HOARD! I would have preferred an olive green or navy color, but this is the official tissue expedition parka.
Chocolate Snowflake recently gave me a book about Matthew Henson. That dude was super hardbody. Discovering the North Pole was some retarded shit. The North Pole is just ice over water. To get to the pole you have to literally commit yourself to die.
Henson loved adventure so much that he didn’t care if he never made it back home. He learned to communicate and fully integrated with the Inuit eskimos. But most of all Henson learned how to run a dog sled. Mushing dogs was key to moving supplies over the icy tundra and no one was better than Matthew Henson.
The Iditarod race is an 1150mile race across Alaska as an honor to Henson and all the expert dogmushers who navigate that rugged countryside. Timberland created a series of boots named after the great race and the 40-Below was the cornerstone boot. This is the holy grail of Timberland.
The following video is for Marq’Spekt, Dirty Jerz, cocotaso and all of the readers/viewers who have a respect for the craftsmanship of classic Timberland products.
