Zegna Oasi Cashmere Il Conte Jacket
One does not expect a chore jacket to look so… aristocratic. But Zegna’s Il Conte jacket lives up to its noble title (a nod to the founder) with a stand-up guru collar and fully traceable cashmere fibers cultivated in the label’s “Oasi.” Not into online shopping? Check it out in person at the brand’s latest outpost, in NYC’s Meatpacking district.
Universal Works Mountain Fleece Lancaster Jacket
It takes only a few thoughtful touches for a design to standout in a sea of fleece. In the case of the Lancaster Jacket by Universal Works, that means a rounded collar, deep patch pockets and reinforcing cotton-jersey trim.
Stubbs & Wootton Prep Hunter
“Look Muffy, a shoe for us.” Palm Beach-based slipper maker Stubbs & Wootton was preppy to begin with, but its Prep Hunter style—embroidered with every WASP’s favorite sporting motifs—takes it to a whole new level.

Stan Ray Western Shirt
Anyone can wear Western wear—so long as they don’t take it too seriously. This denim pearl snap by Stan Ray, which features embroidered 10-gallon hats on the shoulders and back, is just the right amount of playful.
Saturdays NYC x retaW Laundry Bag
The clothing you haul biweekly to the laundromat deserves better than a plastic bin with a chipped handle. Enter: this purpose-designed laundry bag from Saturdays NYC and Japanese fragrance brand retaW, which is built from tough cotton canvas and adorned with the former’s signature slash stripe.
BUY NOW ON SATURDAYS NYC: $150
Polo Ralph Lauren Classic Fit Plaid Cotton-Linen Shirt
Is there any such thing as a transitional flannel shirt? Yes, there is, and it’s this plaid cotton-linen number from Polo Ralph Lauren.
Officine Creative Artik Full-Grain Leather Lace-Up Boots
The snap of fallen leaves crunching underfoot is a 10/10 sensation. It might even be an 11 if you do so in these full-grain leather hikers from Officine Creative.
The Merchant Fox The Foxmoor Gilet in Exmoor Brown
As gilet season kicks off, it’s time to consider the important questions like… is the “g” silent? While that’s sorted out, consider picking up this new introduction from The Merchant Fox, which matches a rustic, undyed wool fabric to an urbane Nehru collar.
BUY NOW ON THE MERCHANT FOX: $467
Our Legacy Full Zip Hoodie in Boston Check
Hoodies don’t have to go into hibernation with falling temperatures. They just need a more substantial hide, such as the fuzzy wool-blend fabric that constitutes this zip-up from Our Legacy.

Levi’s X JW Cotton Denim Jeans
Junya Watanabe has struck again, this time applying his manic touch to a pair of Levi’s. The resultant denim features a flared leg and idiosyncratic details including waistband buttons and exaggerated “wings” on its rear pockets.
Frizmworks Slim-Fit Quilted Nylon Down Hooded Jacket
Drawing from the design of Vietnam-era jungle jackets, this quilted down jacket from Frizmworks features a pair of angled patch-flap pockets at the chest. While it’s unlikely to see combat, it may witness a snowball fight.
Portuguese Flannel Gales Checked Knitted Overshirt
We know you’re excited to pull on a proper tweed jacket—but we’re not at tweed jacket-weather yet. Bridge the gap in this knitted wool overshirt from Portuguese Flannel, whose oversized glen plaid pattern would be at home on any country estate.
Fratelli Rossetti Suede Derby Shoes
Inaugurate desert boot season with these suede derbies by Fratelli Rossetti, whose generous almond toe and flat rubber sole promise to deliver what the style is all about: comfort and ease.
Fleur Du Mal Men’s Jacquard Robe
Snaffle bits and riding whips adorn this jacquard-woven robe by Fleur Du Mal, whose equestrian credentials are further enhanced by a glossy brown hue.
Ettinger 90th Anniversary Bookmark
To commemorate its 90th year in business, English leather goods maker Ettinger has revived its original Guardsman logo from 1934. The sword-wielding chap now graces this goat leather bookmark, and other items featured in a special anniversary collection.
Drake’s Sand Suede Welder Jacket
Eating an ice cream cone around suede is dangerous enough—welding should be entirely out of the question. Fortunately, the new Welder Jacket by Drake’s is workwear in name only, and deftly combines a lightweight Italian suede to utilitarian details including brass hardware and reinforced pockets.
Canali Grey Silk Wool and Cashmere Blend Trench Coat
Canali’s looking pretty good for 90. Looking even better: this silk, wool and cashmere-blend trench coat included in the Italian label’s 90th anniversary capsule collection.
Billy Reid John Shawl Cardigan
The double-breasted stance works wonderfully on peacoats, trenchcoats and sport jackets: so why shouldn’t it be the same with the shawl collar cardigan? That’s the bet that Billy Reid has placed with its John cardigan, which is made from French terry and features a pair of darted patch pockets at the waist.
Barbour Re-Engineered Beaufort Wax Jacket
Yes, we know, don’t fix what isn’t broken, etc. But Barbour’s “Re-Engineered” Beaufort undoubtedly benefits from fresh features including quilted lining, a snap-off hood and angled chest pockets.
Giorgio Armani Velvet Blazer
When it comes to fall/winter fabrics, tweed and corduroy get all the best press. But Giorgio Armani is making the case for velvet via this double-breasted blazer, marked by a low buttoning stance and an appropriately louche cut.
A.P.C. Bobby Sweater
A.P.C.’s take on the Breton sweater is one you won’t have to shelve for fall, thanks to its merino wool fabric. The French-Tunisian label leaves its mark on the classic style through the cheeky addition of a single red stripe.
Anderson & Sheppard Shetland Sweater in Moss Brown
Anderson & Sheppard’s crewneck Shetland comes in 26 colors—that’s two more hues than your classic Crayola box. There are no bad choices, but its Moss Brown colorway appeals to that same part of the brain that’s begun craving pumpkin spice anything.
BUY NOW ON ANDERSON & SHEPPARD: $335
AMI Paris Tonal ADC Cap
For those itching to get back into corduroy, consider this tonal baseball cap by AMI Pairs to be you first fix.
