We're living in uncertain times. Between political strife, a looming recession and the threat of climate change, sometimes you just want to check out. And thankfully, fall provides all sorts of ways to unplug, get outside and try to forget about all of this bullshit. There's something about the weekends in the autumn—they're so full of promise. Everything feels like an event. Maybe you can't take a trip right now, but you can go to a pumpkin patch with your significant other, tailgate with friends, or play some touch football with your boys. Hell, even raking leaves is more fun when you're in some textured layers. It's hard to complain when you've got a craft beer in one hand and a cider donut in the other. Herewith, a few of our favorite seasonal staples, from a rugged overshirt and durable five-pocket pants to a durable tote inspired by vintage mountain-climbing gear.
