Cherry x Salt & Stone Body wash

1

What does a camping trip to Joshua Tree smell like? Or rather, what do you want it to smell like in your mind? Salt & Stone just dropped a limited-edition fragrance inspired by the American West with the indie-luxe brand Cherry Los Angeles. Here’s how they describe the scent: “Tobacco blossom drifts on a dry breeze as the sun sinks behind the desert mountains. Cool cactus water beads on worn leather. Sharp apricot. Rich sandalwood. Warm tonka bean and violet leaf linger in the dusk air.” Sounds nice, right?

Buck Mason Herringbone saddle chino

2

These are new, but they’re the kind of pants that you wish you could unearth in a vintage shop. With a nod to old school military tailoring, Buck Mason’s latest chino delivers rugged sophistication thanks to its mid-weight 9.4-oz cotton twill, subtle herringbone weave and garment-washed texture. The relaxed, higher-rise fit and straight-leg channel classic officer’s-pant proportions, while details like the Hollywood waistband, felled seams and patch pockets elevate the style. You can already tell that they’re the kind of pants that will get better the more you wear them.

imogene + willie x Dehen Wool weekender jacket

3

Here’s a cool, all-American collaboration. The stylishly rugged lifestyle shop imogene + willie has partnered with Dehen, the legendary Portland, Oregon-based denim company, to deliver a hardwearing capsule collection. The line includes some knitwear and winter accessories, but the standout for us has to be this jacket. Constructed from a substantial 100% wool denim milled by American Woolen (one of the only remaining U.S. mills producing high-quality woolen cloth), it’s finished with deep front welt pockets with snap closures and a hefty two-way brass zipper.

ACL x Rivay Canvas shirt jacket

4

The blog father made this ideal shirt jacket. Michael Williams, our good friend and the guy behind A Continuous Lean, just teamed up with Rivay for this handsome layer that he says “has the comfort of a shirt but with the rigidity that you feel when wearing a sportcoat.” Made in Portugal, from Italian cotton canvas that’s been garment-dyed and washed for softness, it’s finished with generous patch pockets on the chest and handy slash pockets at the sides, too. It’s a versatile piece that will, no doubt, be one that you grab over and over.

Alice Mushroom chocolate

5

Mid-day scaries and post-work stress? You’ve met your match. If you’re looking for a way to unwind that’s a little easier on your system, pop one of these mushroom chocolates. Alice has been folding functional fungi into sleek little bars that feel more accessible—and a lot less intimidating—for the everyday guy. Their latest release, Zen-x, is designed to help keep cortisol in check and nudge you into a calmer, more relaxed state. Plus, they’re tasty, too.

Secret Society Neckwear Exploded paisley tie

1

We told earlier why you should be wearing a tie again. But, in case you needed further convincing, here’s a new brand you need on your radar. Founded by Nathan Green, a Sid Mashburn alum, Secret Society Neckwear specializes in ties with attitude. In a world when less men feel compelled to wear one, Green says that “knotting a tie is pretty rock ‘n’ roll.” This exploded paisley, with its vibrant graphics, proves that point perfectly. And each tie is made in the U.S. from Italian silk, double-faced and slip-stitched, then finished with the brand’s signature red “X” bar tack.

Moon Juice Bliss Miss kit

2

Ready for some winter cuddles? Moon Juice has teamed up with Burt’s Bees for a delicious collaboration that pairs the brand’s “Heirloom Hot Chocolate + Sex Dust” with a custom diner mug and an exclusive Burt’s Bees lip balm that smells (and tastes like hot cocoa). Packed with natural ingredients that are traditionally used to support mood, energy, libido and endorphins, it’s a sweet treat that will definitely set the mood. And, of course, makes for a helluva gift for the right person.

imogene + willie Quilt-lined chore coat

3

This is the toughest chore jacket of all time. It’s cut from a hearty 12-ounce canvas fabric from Mt. Vernon—an American owned-and-operated mill that has been producing fabrics here in the U.S. for over 175 years. But it’s also got a quilted lining for added warmth and insulation. Finishing details include a leather-lined collar, hand warmer pockets and durably-stitched buttons that aren’t going anywhere.

Infinity Pillow Packable blanket

4

Holiday travel is coming up. And we’re in the middle of tailgating and fire pit season, too. Which means a lightweight, packable blanket could come in handy, right? This quilted blanket is super comfortable, lightweight and comes with an integrated wide elastic strap so you can roll it up and bring it everywhere. Inside, hollow fiber insulation provides some padding and warmth while the recycled nylon is resistant to moisture and stains.

In case you haven’t heard, Gap is so back. Under the creative direction of American designer Zac Posen, the quintessential mall brand has returned making quality, affordable staples that guys want to wear. Case in point: This cozy shadow plaid flannel shirt, cut with a relaxed boxy fit and a cropped, straight hem at the waist. Made with 100% organically grown cotton, the fabric is washed and brushed for added softness.

Fleece cardigan

1

The latest UNIQLO collab has everyone talking. Fellow Japanese brand Needles has put together a capsule line of cozy staples, focused on fleece jackets, cardigans and pants. There’s a lot to like, but our favorite is this relaxed fleece cardigan, complete with drop shoulders and Butterfly logo embroidery to add that quintessential NEEDLES brand accent. It’s available in three colorways, but sizes are moving fast.

Stinson EVO GTX

How do you make Hoka’s technical kicks even more durable? Partner up with rugged Canadian retailer Haven. Revived from the footwear brand’s archives, the Stinson balances rugged durability with exceptional comfort, ready for any landscape. Kitted out with a custom GORE-TEX Invisible Fit membrane, the tonal grey and black sneakers provide waterproof protection with natural flexibility and breathability. And, of course, they’ve got Hoka’s plush cushioning, rockered midsole and a modern lug sole for comfort and traction.

Dundas overcoat

3

As we’ve recently told you, you’re going to need a good coat this winter. And Kestin, an under-the-radar Scottish brand just released one of the best ones we’ve seen this season. The label’s Dundas overcoat is cut from a super soft yet sturdy Italian wool blend with a brushed finish. It comes in two classic colorways, a midnight navy and a speckled gray, and is tailored with raglan sleeves for ease of movement and finished with Coroso buttons and a concealed placket.

Doubleback twill pant

4

This looks like the perfect vintage sweater, but it’s brand new. Big Rock Candy Mountaineering has a relaxed, retro vibe but specializes in pieces inspired by the vintage gear the designers unearth around the world. The brand launched last year from two menswear vets (including the founder of Wythe) and these pants highlight what makes it so damn good. They’re cut from heavy-duty cotton duck canvas that can take a beating (but they’ve been washed so they’re broken in from the start). The high-set, wide rear pockets keep essentials within reach on the wall or on the move, and the double knees add extra life where it counts. Of course, they look just as cool when they’re worn on the weekends to lunch.

Wool tweed mock turtleneck

5

This looks like the perfect vintage sweater, but it’s brand new. Buck Mason has knit this from chunky Italian merino, giving the finished sweater a distinctive, nubby tweed texture. It’s lightweight, soft yet lofty, so it delivers real warmth without the bulk. Finished with a ribbed mock neck, it stands nicely without constricting your neck and has a lived-in feel from day one. This is a sweater you’ll get a lot of wear out of all season.

Reigning Champ Brushed fleece half-zip

1

This sweatshirt looks deceptively simple. The collared half-zip is made from a lofty fleeceback fabric chosen for its soft interior feel and insulating properties. Put it on and you discover the perfect drape, thanks to said fabric and the relaxed fit with drop shoulders and generous sleeve proportions. The slightly cropped silhouette hits right at your waistband and the heavy-gauge zipper adds a ruggedly luxurious touch, too.

Buck Mason Cloudloom Romeo pant

2

We love these gentlemanly trousers because they’re as comfortable as a pair of sweats. Buck Mason’s design team says they were inspired by vintage chinos, but cut this pair from a cozy herringbone twill fabric (made from cotton and wool). It’s got the perfect mid-rise waist (with concealed drawstring for a perfect fit) and single pleats (for a touch of dapper charm). And there’s a matching jacket if you want to make it into a suit

Caraway Bar set

A great bar set doesn’t have to be big. This nine-piece set has everything you need in a cool, compact set-up. Crafted from rust-resistant 304 stainless steel, each tool delivers high performance, cleaner prep and long-lasting durability. Plus, the modular birch storage base and display-worthy backer (available in half a dozen colors) will elevate any countertop or bar cart.

COS Brush cashmere polo

4

A soft shirt that’s tougher than it looks. Add some serious texture. This new, elevated style from COS is knitted from Good Cashmere Standard yarn that’s brushed for a luxuriously tactile finish and features a laid-back open collar and finely ribbed trims. It’s an investment piece, but it’s the type of sweater you’ll wear all winter—thrown over a tee or layered under a jacket.

imogene + willie Griffin workshirt

5

A soft shirt that’s tougher than it looks. Based off of a vintage hand-me-down chamois button-up, imogene + willie’s Griffin shirt was developed with the desire to fill the gap between a flannel and outerwear. They say it’s an “intentionally versatile garment designed to take a beating.” And we have to agree with them. Not to mention, the stylish washed black colorway is an extremely versatile shade.

Shaggy Dog sweater

1

New power duo just dropped. Modern American label Alex Mill linked up with heritage brand J. Press for a fall collection that nails bold, colorful prep. The tight edit includes Shetland wool sweaters, made-in-U.S.A. tees and denim, wool trousers and a sharp blazer—all crafted with the kind of quality and fit both brands are known for. It’s the perfect upgrade for your fall rotation.

Baggy five-pocket pant

2

These are like the kid brother of some serious workwear pants. They’re a little lighter and cooler, but still plenty durable. Made from a rugged canvas with a touch of stretch for added daily comfort, the pants are cut with a loose, relaxed fit through the leg for a modern look. They’ve been washed for a worn-in look and feel, but are still sharp enough to wear with your favorite button-downs and sweaters.

Moreno sweater

Leave it to a French label to make the sexiest sweater polo on the market. Octobre Éditions has created a sweater that’s both relaxed and elegant. Knitted in Italy from Italian wool, it’s thicker than most knit polos and has raglan sleeves for ease of movement and a more body-conscious drape. It’s available in three seasonal shades, but this steel blue is our favorite.

NEWGATE Brooklyn Retro Alarm Clock - Rectangular Matt Black Silent Sweep Clock - Bedside Accessory - 10.6 x 14 x 5.4cm / 4.1 x 5.5 x 2.1in

It looks old school, but this sleek clock sports state-of-the-art movement technology. Newgate designed their Brooklyn Clock with silent ‘no tick’ movements that offer complete peace and quiet—whether you’ve got it on a nightstand or on your desk. The retro face is easy to read and the battery-powered clock is reliable and portable.

Here’s a hearty seasonal collaboration. Woolrich has just dropped a full collection of affordable goods for Target.

Ideal for picnics and afternoon cuddle sessions.

Proof PatinaTech sweatshirt

1

Not all performance gear has to be so “cold” looking. Think of Proof’s new PatinaTech as your next “beat-up” favorite, right out of the box. With a washed finish, soft terry interior and just enough slub texture, it lands between lived-in and luxe. The cut’s relaxed but still carries structure at the shoulders and chest, allowing for movement. It looks like a vintage sweatshirt, but still offers modern benefits like sweat-wicking and anti-odor properties. Plus, it comes in five colorways to match any gym fit.

Long-sleeve Riviera polo shirt

2

Sunspel’s long-sleeve polo isn’t just another shirt, it’s a modern menswear icon. It’s made from the brand’s own lightweight, breathable Supima cotton mesh—first developed in the 1950s for summers on the French Riviera, the soft material is a fabric innovation that has stood the test of time. The shirt’s design became something of legend when tailored for Daniel Craig’s debut as James Bond in Casino Royale, and the long-sleeve version carries that same sharp, understated style with a little extra versatility for fall. Cut with a flattering fit, it’s refined enough to slip under a blazer yet casual enough to wear on its own, making it an ideal layer for this time of year. Our readers have always gravitated toward it—especially in classic navy—and for good reason: It’s one of those rare pieces that feels timeless, cool and quietly confident. Pick one up and take 10% off your first order with code WELCOME10.

Baggy canvas carpenter pant

3

These pants are hard to define, but easy to wear. They’ve got the look of fatigue pants, but are cut from a rugged workwear canvas fabric. The overdyed bamboo wash gives them a well-worn look and feel, while the relaxed tapered silhouette is comfortable but cool. In person, they look a whole lot more expensive than what you paid.

Nylon road helmet bag

Meet your new hard-working sidekick. Reigning Champ’s new Road Program collection introduces bags “built for utility in motion”. Each one is streamlined for everyday commutes and travel, with considered components and finishes for daily use. Our favorite is the helmet bag, which is like a specialized tote. Sturdy nylon webbing handles allow for carry in the hand or over the shoulder, and the interior features a large central zip compartment, interior patch pockets, and a padded laptop sleeve.

Movie log

Track your film diet the analog way. There’s nothing wrong with Letterboxd, of course, but A24’s new Movie Log feels like something made for cinephiles who still believe in pens and paper. Dressed in a bold, yellow buckram-textured cover with Wes Anderson-like graphics, it’s low-key but full of intention. Inside, you’ve got 176 pages with organized space to log over 300 films—complete with titles, directors, cast, ratings and notes. It’s not just merch; it’s a new cinematic ritual.

Tough and refined ... why not? This boiled-wool work jacket from Alex Mill fuses sartorial polish with utilitarian edge. The dense, felted wool holds structure and sheds wind, while deep navy hues slot seamlessly into any fall or winter wardrobe. Whether layered over a sweater or paired with a tee, it works across contexts: the campsite, the street or even the office. It’s your go-anywhere top layer, and one that ages well year after year.

Elevate your travel game. Away merges bulletproof style and engineered function in its new Aluminum Edge line. The leather-inspired pebbled exterior shell can stand up to the rigors of travels, while a sturdy aluminum frame and reinforced corners add strength. The interior features Away’s popular removable laundry pouch, compression pad, and clever organization for shoes and tech. A TSA-approved design means you won’t have to check it, yet it still fits a four-day rotation with room to spare.

A&F’s hoodies just keep getting better. This new one comes in a cool, washed-out blue woodland camo colorway. The brand’s signature “SoftAF fleece” wraps you in plush softness while the drop shoulders and roomy cut give it streetwise swagger. A roomy kangaroo pocket anchors the look and the hood lays nicely behind you. Ideal for layering or solo wear, it’s the kind of roomy, statement-making pullover that turns loungewear into a style play.

This isn’t your grandad’s work jacket. But it almost could’ve been, since Dubbleware is an icon of American workwear that’s been around since 1924. This offers a fresh take on a timeless staple, drawing from classic utility styles but reimagining it with a lighter touch and an updated silhouette. The washed olive hue gives it an old school vibe, while the semi-relaxed cropped cut ensures easy layering when temperatures dip.

The waxed canvas shell shrugs off light rain while breaking in beautifully—the kind of piece that only looks better with age. Snap-front closure, roomy patch pockets, and a hip-length cut keep it practical, while the fit strikes that sweet spot: relaxed enough to layer, clean enough to wear on its own. Available in several colorways, it’s one of those jackets that earns character with every wear and works just as well on a coffee run as a weekend getaway.

Is it a sweater that acts like a jacket, or a jacket that feels like a sweater? Maybe it’s both. Milled from a wool-blend that pairs crisp body panels with a lighter knit across the sleeves and back, this sport coat delivers structure in all the right places. The silhouette’s relaxed and roomy (ideal for layering), but tailored enough to avoid looking sloppy. Rugged enough to stand in for outerwear on cool days, polished enough to dress up a tee. This is a versatile piece you’ll keep reaching for throughout the fall and winter.

The fabric is light enough for movement, but substantial enough to carry real structure.

A fragrance fit for royalty (and cocktail hour). Cognac Reign from indie house D.S. & Durga pours baroque elegance into every spritz. It opens with caramelized citrus and warm, antique woods—the olfactory equivalent to the hush before the orchestra strikes. Then it dries into a heart of rich cognac essence and a base of tonka bean and limousine oak. The scent is rich and a little smoky yet sweet. Think Versailles after dusk: powder-wig swagger meets dim candlelight and conversations over polished wood.

This one’s doing its best little sculptural double-take. Anya Brown’s resin catchall, a low-slung, swirl-patterned tray turns everyday clutter into décor. Less than 40 bucks, it’s an easy buy but looks like a luxe gallery piece. Each dish bears its own hypnotic brown swirl—think latte art meets abstract design—so yours will feel bespoke. Whether it corrals keys by the entryway, organizes earbuds on a nightstand or anchors your desk accessories, it balances utility with a quiet visual punch.

UNIQLO’s coolest sub-label just dropped their latest collection. After being teased online for a minute, the UNIQLO : C Fall/Winter 2025 collection has finally arrived. The partnership with prolific British designer Clare Waight Keller has lots to like, but most people are excited to score the viral wide-leg sweats that sold out last spring. Available in a range of colors, they’re tailored like a pair of trousers, with a wide leg that can be cinched at the ankle for a more athletic cut.

Wrangler x ROA Lana denim shirt

We didn’t have this on our 2025 bingo card. Wrangler, that bastion of all-American denim, teamed up with ROA, the Italian indie punks shaking up gorpcore, for a slick capsule collection. “A reflection of the growing influence of outdoor performance wear in the urban and streetwear fashion space,” the brand says. “The Fall/Winter ’25 collection was created using ROA’s technical design DNA, merging avant-garde material innovation with Wrangler’s heritage-rooted silhouettes.” Our favorite? This badass shirt jacket.

The James Brand Palmer utility knife

1

Modern life means a barrage of online deliveries. The Palmer reinvents the humble utility knife with minimalist style and real-world chops. Its slim, pocket-friendly body (in anodized aluminum) slides open with a buttery, patented mechanism. Perfect for everything from opening packages to pencil prep, it fits neatly into your front-coin pocket or can be tossed into a desk drawer. Toeing the line between everyday tool and thoughtful design object, it’s so stylish and capable, you’ll barely think of it as a box cutter, yet it handles like one.

Have you heard about The North Face’s Red Box collection? The new label is being described as the American version of the brand’s cult favorite Purple label out of Japan. GQ says the first drop is “pretty tight, but pretty much all of it hits.” Our favorite? The streamlined fleece pullover. It’s made with a plush recycled-poly fabric, features two super-secure zipper pockets, and is finished with elastic at the cuffs and hem to help it hold its shape (and block wind). And it’s offered at a very reasonable price.

Marbled cement skull

It looks like something you’d find on Rick Owens’ desk. This stone skull was designed exclusively for CB2 by Parisian duo dach&zephir. Infusing gothic vibes with gallery-level polish, the cast-cement form is wrapped in a milky white marble finish via a water-transfer process that is the perfect mix of edgy and elegant. It’s sculptural without being overbearing and versatile enough to stage on a mantel, shelf or patio (it’s outdoor-safe, by the way). Each piece has its own marbling, so yours will feel like an art object, not a chain-store prop.

Nighthawk sunglasses

Buck Mason reminds us that you shouldn’t put your shades away just because summer’s coming to an end. The brand just reissued their Italian-made sunglasses for Fall 2025 and the Italian-made frames come in three unique frame styles. Inspired by mid-century modern design, our favorites are the Nighthawk—a stripped down riff on military frames, they’re fitted with anti-reflective coated CR39 lenses that offer full UV protection and five-barrel hinges for day-to-day durability.

What’s a little bit rugged, a touch preppy with a streetwear nod? Noah’s Buffalo plaid half-zip. It’s like a long-sleeve polo, made from 100% cotton interlock jacquard in a bold check pattern, crafted in Portugal with the kind of attention to detail you can feel. It’s the kind of piece you can wear with sweats and jeans but also pull together with a proper pair of pants and sneakers for a fresh look. You’ll put this standout knit on repeat as the temperatures start to dip.
