Fred Perry is a brand with a serious following all over Europe and around the world. The Driscoll boots are a fine combination of [leather and canvas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kleman-x-percival).

The boots were released in an orange and brown Autumn-inspired palette. The tan details and neutral nature of the color choices make these boots a magnificent match with fall/winter attire and they can be brought back out come spring time.
