Taking its moniker from Timberland’s original company name (the Abington Shoe Company), the Abington Collection represents the true core of Timberland – premium leathers and shoemaking crafted to endure the tests of time. The collection merges trend-right details with heritage-driven style utilizing only the best materials and construction techniques.

The Essex Shipbuilding Museum on Main Street serves to educate others of those formative years of this proud town and the neighboring town of Gloucester is home to one of the few remaining wooden shipbuilding yards in the country.
The Abington Spring 2015 Collection was inspired by the historic boatbuilding tradition of Essex. It features fine leather and suede, sail cloth details, and Vibram® outsoles in unique boot and chukka styles.
