Perhaps the best wallet you can buy now — just one of today’s featured picks.

We’re going to get right down to the business of outfitting you with some of the best new menswear around today. Mid-August calls for some reflection and yes, some planning for early fall. That being said, you should focus on tough, timeless men’s style essentials to take you through the weeks ahead. Pieces like the perfect jacket for early fall, or a rugged men’s henley, or an everyday carry essential like a stylish leather wallet. Here we go. 

Secrid  Slimwallet — $90

Highly durable and functional — you won’t miss a beat with this wallet.

Here it is — the highly durable, highly stylish & highly rugged Secrid Slimwallet as seen at the top of the page. Surely one of the best men’s wallets to buy now, and then use every single day.
Timex Marlin Automatic Watch — $168.99

A sleek, hard-to-find watch that’ll upgrade every business casual look you throw at it.

There’s a great chance that by the time you read this, the sleek, super-stylish Timex Marlin Watch might be sold out. That being said, it’s a heck of a refined dress watch to wear with your next suit. More on your must-own fall suit in just a second …
Taylor Stitch Westport Jacket — $158

An exceptionally versatile layer that’ll only get better with age.

Faherty Brand Slub Cotton Henley — $98

A classic white henley, made with classic slub cotton.

Every guy needs a rugged henley on his list of men’s style essentials — the Faherty Brand Slub Cotton Henley is ideal for wearing on its own with slim tan chinos and rugged leather boots, or layered up with a classic chambray shirt.
Hemel Tracker Watch — $340

A durable watch to throw on your wrist darn near every day.

The alternative to the Timex Marlin Watch is here. Looking for a rugged everyday watch to take you from August into fall? The Hemel 340 Watch is it. This tough field watch is easy to wear with everything from a white Oxford and dark denim to tan chinos and a grey henley.

Taylor Stitch Telegraph Jacket in Charcoal Herringbone — $228

The next — and best — addition to your fall closet you can make.

If you’re not yet acquainted with the tremendous style and versatility of the Taylor Stitch Telegraph Suit, you best hop on this train now. The Telegraph Jacket in particular works with dark denim, a white Oxford and brown wingtip boots — for starters, that is. Heck, get the full Telegraph Suit if you so please.
TOMS TRVL LITE High Sneakers — $84.95

Take everything you thought you knew about TOMS and toss it out the window.

Available for a heck of a price — under $90 — the TOMS TRVL LITE High takes the comfort you’d expect from this ethical and stylish brand, then injects that ethos into a fall-ready pair of high-tops.
Topo Designs Rover Pack — $139

A functional backpack that doesn’t look half-bad, either.

Less of a high-top sneakers guy and more of a rugged hiking boots type of guy? Well, the Topo Designs Rover Pack is the functional, understated and surprisingly stylish everyday backpack you need heading into fall.
Triumph & Disaster Rock & Roll Suicide Face Scrub — $29.98
Triumph & Disaster

A cool name, a cool label and an even better product.

We’re about more than just style essentials for the transition to fall — I’d wager men’s grooming essentials, especially from a well-done brand like Triumph & Disaster, will pack just the punch you need to upgrade your grooming game.
CIVIC Frank Chinos in Navy — $128

Crisp navy chinos in a futuristic fabric.

A pair of classic navy chinos — particularly a pair from Taylor Stitch partner brand CIVIC — are an essential you can wear starting now (thanks to the comfortable, stretch merino fabric) and then on into September & October.
Flint and Tinder Plaid Button Down — $74.98

As simple and classic as it gets — a tough plaid shirt from Flint and Tinder.

Now, now — what to wear with your classic navy chinos? Why, a well-made, rugged buttondown shirt from the ever-stylish team at Flint and Tinder. This is the perfect casual shirt to wear with dark denim or tan chinos, plus brown leather boots. Easy as that.
Danner Mountain 600 Enduroweave Boots — $160

Hiking boots that are durable yet lightweight? Well, that’s too good to be true — or is it?

We mentioned rugged hiking boots earlier, and the Danner Mountain 600 Enduroweave Boots fall squarely in that category. The fact that they’ll stand up to the rest of your summer and fall adventures off-trail is a big bonus.

Alright, my friends – we’re wrapped up with this edition of The List. It’s tough to pick favorites, but I sure loved the Hemel 340 Watch  … oh, and the always-excellent Telegraph Jacket— from the Taylor Stitch Telegraph Suit, of course. Happy shopping, and thanks — as always — for reading!
