See Now, Buy Now: The Filson Canvas Outfitter Jacket is a Classic Upgrade for Your Autumnal Gear Lineup

For as easy as it might be to say that they don’t make ’em like they used to in matters of the best gear for fall — and the best outerwear, and the best base layers, right on down the list — it’s all the more notable when a heritage brand steps up to the plate time and again.

And while they no longer make all their gear right here in the United States, in my experience, the heritage outfitters at Filson deliver the goods in rugged, reliable and yes, stylish fashion — especially the brand’s lineup of Filson men’s jackets, including the handsome and hard-wearing Filson Canvas Outfitter Jacket shown above.

The brand also has a knack for making finely crafted waxed jackets, field jackets, flannel shirts and beastly, thick wool jackets — the list goes on, of course, but it’s all yours for the taking as you peruse a steady stream of Filson New Arrivals ahead of the best season in menswear. And it can all start with a durable work jacket, one as ready for dive bar beers as for day hikes or evening bonfires (to name but a few of my favorite fall pursuits).

The Filson Canvas Outfitter Jacket takes its toughness and easygoing-yet-rugged style points from barn coats and from classic cotton canvas construction, not unlike outerwear from other famed workwear brands like Carhartt. Built to resist abrasions and tears from dust and debris, as well as windy conditions out there in the field, you’ll also notice this handsome work jacket for men features patch hand pockets for additional cargo, along with a chest pocket and chip-resistant buttons.

As I tend to say, if it seems like Filson has taken care of every last detail in one of the best fall jackets, for men, I’d say that, well, it’s because they certainly have. Take special note of the cozy corduroy collar and the rugged Kangaroo shade of the jacket shown here, giving off a pleasing fall look that wears as well with grey canvas work pants as with black jeans or your favorite pair of perfectly faded blue jeans — on or off the clock, for that matter.

Reinforced shoulders with raglan-style stitching are ideal for mobility, while the fit should prove agreeable enough to layer with flannel shirting, your favorite henley or a thick and burly fisherman sweater.

And with a price that clocks in just below $200, it seems to me this is as solid a deal for a work jacket as for a dependable style move as you belly up to the bar and grab a cold PBR. At least, that’s just one way I can see myself wearing a newfound favorite in this hard-working Filson men’s jacket. Embrace the season at large, my friends.

With inspiration tracing its way out to the American West, there’s a spirit of adventure that’s behind even the basics from the famed Huckberry brand-within-a-brand, which you very well might know from the iconic Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket (also as worthy a seasonal pickup as any).

In fact, the long-sleeve shirt in question might be the perfect base layer alongside such a tough, durable jacket, with colors like Gold providing an eye-catching seasonal pop, at least in my experience. Huckberry notes this shirt, with its vintage inspiration, takes its cues from old-school tees and is “made from a robust, heavyweight cotton,” which is garment-dyed and washed for a lived-in look that’s also going to feel mighty comfortable out of the box.

The company rightfully calls this a “luxurious update on a time-honored classic,” with 12.5oz. cotton denim delivering structure and rugged appeal.

Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket review.

The timeless trucker jacket silhouette remains the same across the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket lineup, which also includes rich suede versions in a variety of fall-friendly colorways. And while other versions of the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket feature shank buttons in an antique finish, this one features updated hardware with a cleaner look and feel.

Cut to fit above the hip in tried-and-true trucker jacket fashion, chest and hip pockets add utility and deliver storage space for your everyday carry, for good measure.

Either way, this stylish men’s denim jacket is a certified winner in my book, whether worn atop a pocket tee or paired with a light-wash chambray shirt — add in stretch chinos in a fall-approved tobacco hue, step into your new favorite pair of Blundstone boots (for instance), then take in the wonders of expertly crafted seasonal style.

See Now, Buy Now: The Shinola Lake Superior Monster Automatic Watch Is Ready for Anything This Summer

Shinola men's watch review.

So, the stage is set. That lakeside cabin or beach retreat is booked, the packing process is underway, you’re dreaming of filling up your YETI cooler with ice-cold beer and perhaps, you’re contemplating the watch (or watches!) you’re going to bring with you as part of your everyday carry essentials on a summer getaway.

One of the very best watches for men should be able to go anywhere you go, into the water and back on land — and back on the road — without missing a beat. And because a stylish watch for men is quite the investment, you should be shopping with confidence (and hopefully, giving yourself a bit of time to consider the timepiece in question). That’s where the handsome Shinola dive watch at the top of the page joins your packing list.

Shop Shinola men’s watches ASAP

My past Shinola reviews have assuredly sung the praises of the brand, from its Mid-Century Shinola Runwell to hard-wearing, bold dive watches like the Shinola West Wind — this timepiece shown here is no slouch, either.

But if versatility, rugged construction and style points aplenty are what you seek, then you could do worse than the Shinola Lake Superior Monster Automatic Watch, a land-and-sea timepiece fashioned with great care from the modern icons at the Detroit lifestyle company. Yes indeed, if any company could craft a durable watch fit for the Great Lakes, it’d be Shinola.

And while we don’t talk about watches on this blog as frequently as, say, the best Oxford shirt or classic blue jeans, it’s a valuable piece to have in your arsenal, packed with both functionality and fashion.

At first glance, the black case and bezel, plus three-link stainless steel bracelet, might call to mind a certain famous, somewhat similar dive watch (ahem, the Rolex Submariner), but Shinola switches things up when it comes to the Shinola Lake Superior Monster Automatic Watch, shifting the date window and delivering this rugged dive watch in a 43mm build.

Fashioned from durable 316L stainless steel, this watch is also rated down to 1,000 feet — whether extreme diving or a quick dip in the ocean is your pursuit of choice, this watch can handle it. And the good news, you needn’t change it when it comes time to dress for dinner — it’s refined and yet highly functional, like, well, the Rolex Submaner.

Add the Shinola Lake Superior Monster to your collection now

The 26-jewel, 38-hour power reserve of the quite reliable Sellita SW200-1 automatic movement powers this watch, and marks a step up from Shinola’s earlier days of using quartz movements (let the debate among horological enthusiasts rage on as to which movement is really worth the price).

Its indices are given a green-glow treatment, Shinola notes of this hard-working, easily wearable watch. Whether paired with a polo and chino shorts or with a chambray shirt and linen trousers “the star quality of this timepiece is its performance,” and that’s a sentiment I wholeheartedly endorse as you prep for your next standout summer getaway.

The Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt takes a more breezy, beach-friendly approach in terms of color and pattern, which is never a bad thing to have handy.

Guayabera shirts are the main source of design inspiration for the Criquet Shirts Desi Shirt, which blends both cotton and linen chambray in a super-lightweight, ultra-comfortable fabric.
