John Elliott makes some of our favorite sweats. And now he makes some of our favorite socks too. The marled slub cotton socks are extremely cushy and come in five different colorways. We're wearing them with sneakers, loafers and the Birkenstocks we've been working in since March.

Do you need some new house shoes? How about a pair that you can easily wear with your WFH kit, or on causal errands and around the fire pit? These are it. Hand-stitched in Maine, the soft suede feels immediately broken-in and the “Ortholite Comfort Hybrid Recycled Footbed” cushions the foot for all-day comfort. Plus, they look damn handsome.

This may be the perfect winter soap. Alder New York's new bar is inspired by their popular face wash and developed for skin that gets dry and rough during these cold days. The fragrance-free soap uses a coconut-derived formula that quickly creates a soothing lather. Plus, it utilizes 1% glycolic acid and sea kelp to help smooth and soften rough patches while jojoba oil and shea butter makes sure skin retains moisture. And if you like this soap tray, they're now selling that too.

It's a new year, but we still want the same old comfort. And this flannel shirt jacket is like being wrapped up in a blanket—only it makes you look cool and on-trend. The heavyweight cotton flannel comes in several plaid patterns and is finished with a straight hem, two chest pockets and two side-seam pockets.

These are not vintage pants. But everyone will likely think you scored the ultimate grail find. Because Imogene + Willie's military pant has been patterned from an old pair that's been worn down to the threads and is constructed with a yarn-dyed Japanese cloth with the same slub texture that makes this new pair really look and feel like the original. They're a tad oversized, making for a slouchy fit and come with standard military trouser pockets and a button fly with WWII-reissue buttons.
