Just one of the remarkable menswear essentials we’re recommending you buy this week (or month!).
If the weather is anything like it is in my neck of the woods, perhaps you’ve really started to get that fall feeling — a crisp breeze, changing leaves and perhaps … the desire to stow away your early fall gear in favor of men’s style essentials that are a little heftier and more rugged? Take the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater, today’s featured pick and the lead entry in this edition of The List. There’s plenty more where that came from — read on below.
Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater in Natural Melange — $188
A handsome sweater from an authentic brand.
Your friends — heck, our friends — at Taylor Stitch have their hearts and minds set on making some of the best darn cold-weather gear out there. Exhibit A: The rugged, well-crafted Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater.
Triumph & Disaster On The Road Kit — $35.98
Handy essentials for a fall weekend away.
After all the rugged outdoor adventures you’ll have wearing the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater, your face is going to need some R-and-R. The Triumph & Disaster On The Road Kit should be a fall travel essential.
Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Slim Jeans — $225
These jeans are,. quite simply, beautiful.
Japanese selvage denim, garment-dyed & then crafted into slim blue jeans by a lauded American designer? These are only going to get better with age this fall.
Howler Brothers Merlin Jacket — $195
Technical detailing and vintage looks come together in one cool package.
Available in two cool colors, the Howler Brothers Merlin Jacket blends technical functionality with the kind of vintage style you might have seen on the trail decades ago. In short: It’s now the perfect fall jacket to wear with slim, faded jeans, suede chukka boots and a rugged henley.
Bespoke Post Swagger Box — $45 (When Signing Up for Bespoke Post)
Plenty of stylish socks to go around here, that much is true.
A heck of a lot of style swagger is what you’re getting in this excellent Bespoke Post Box, featuring up to six pairs of stylish men’s socks. Good stuff, especially for fall.
Huckberry x Lum-Tec Combat B-52 Watch — $499
A pleasingly rugged watch for fall and winter .. and every season beyond that.
You need a watch for fall that works as hard as you do — the beastly, yet subtly stylish, Huckberry x Lum-Tec Combat B-52 is one such watch, assuredly.
Kamik Yukon C Boots — $110
Like the original “Duck Boots” … but somehow cooler?
Hey, winter’s going to get here eventually. You might as well buy these rugged outdoor boots now — your feet will thank you later.
Flint and Tinder Check Buttondown — $108
An essenttial casual shirt inspired by vintage plaids.
It’s easy to forget just how essential a simple-yet-crisp navy plaid buttondown shirt can be. The Flint and Tinder Check Buttondown features Japanese cotton, a clean fit and a great price.
Iron & Resin Union Work Pants — $155
Hard to go wrong with tough work pants for rugged fall style.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going … and surely, they step into the Iron & Resin Union Work Pants, right?
SeaVees Mariners Boot in Pig Suede Desert — $158
These are nearly a fall must-have. Beautifully done.
SeaVees has done it again, this time updating the excellent Mariners Boot in beautiful, rich suede for fall. Wear them with the Flint and Tinder Stonewashed Jeans (nudge, nudge).
Now, that’s going to close out today’s edition of The List — although I certainly hope you’ll keep coming back to it. What’s your favorite of the above men’s style essentials (besides the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater, of course)? I seriously enjoy the excellent Howler Brothers Merlin Jacket.
