Well, it’s the last full week of summer and who are we kidding? We know you’re champing at the bit for fall and all its sartorial promises, which is why we’ve chosen to highlight flannel-lined waxed truckers from Flint & Tinder, cashmere overshirts by Loro Piana and Billy Reid’s take on the quail jacket. But because we’re not quite there thermostat-wise, you may also want to consider a cashmere/linen/silk-blend sport coat from The Armoury or a pheasant-print shirt by Polo Ralph Lauren. Carry on.

The Armoury Cashmere/Linen/Silk Twill Model 103 Sport Coat

Todd Snyder Wide Wale Corduroy Gramercy Trouser
Corduroy is coded as a country fabric. But sometimes all it takes is color—for instance, the graphite-grey of this Todd Snyder pair—to lend them a more urban feel.
TDR Combat Jacket Navy
TDR’s Combat Jacket might look like something out of Top Gun, but its name is more than marketing. It’s actually made from a patented fabric called Cordura Combat Wool, which blends merino with nylon to achieve ten times the abrasion resistance of typical wool.

Fortela Saharan Jacket Brown Wool Twill
Based on a vintage example from founder Alessandro Squarzi’s own archives, Fortela’s Saharan jacket has a safari silhouette but is made from lightly brushed 16oz wool. Ideal if your plan is to peep leaves rather than lions.

Noah Football Top
Long before NFL jerseys became the neon-colored messes they are today, players huddled in simple, tight-fitting tees reinforced by rib knit binding. It’s a lost legacy that Noah has admirably returned to in the design of its Football Top.
Sid Mashburn Slim Straight 5-Pocket Pant Charcoal Mix Wool Twill
The five-pocket pant is a classic, but there’s more to life than just denim. Which may be why Sid Mashburn took the design of your basic blue jean but made it from 100% virgin wool instead.
Marni Button Down Shirt
You take one look at this button-down shirt from Marni, and… what’s that you hear? Is it the opening synth chords of the 1984 megahit Take on Me by A-ha? Yes, yes, it is.
Loro Piana Men’s Vincenzo Tartan Cashmere Flannel Overshirt
Loro Piana has extended its Midas touch to that most downhome of American garments, the flannel shirt. True to form, the label’s not-so-humble iteration is made from a sumptuous blend of cashmere and virgin wool.

Huckberry Flint & Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
No, the second season of The Last of Us isn’t premiering anytime soon. However, the flannel-lined Flint & Tinder waxed trucker that Pedro Pascal notably rocked in season one is back in stock. So take that as a consolation prize.
Dries Van Noten Leather-Trimmed Suede Sneakers
The GAT—aka, German army trainer—trend is riding right into fall. On hand for an appropriately autumnal update is Dries Van Noten, who has produced an olive suede iteration trimmed in white leather.
A.P.C. Trek Crossbody Pouch
Crossbody bags have taken off for men, but there are still some who may find the accessory a little precious. We advise that camp to investigate A.P.C.’s hiking-inspired Treck pouch, whose gorpy touches include a logo-engraved carabiner and zippers affixed to climbing rope.
Drake’s Navy and Ecru Chevron Cotton Rugby Shirt
It’s right about now that the polo shirts get packed away and the rugbys come out. And if your own closet is lacking in the former category, consider snapping up this bold, chevron-patterned number by Drake’s.
Cherry Los Angeles Safari Straight-Leg Distressed Two-Tone Cotton-Canvas Trousers
Adding reinforced panels to a pair of pants might be considered preventative maintenance. Or it might just look cool, as is certainly the case with these two-tone cotton-canvas trousers by Cherry Los Angeles.
Bottega Veneta 8.5cm Leather Tie
What will it take to revive neckwear’s falling fortunes? Maybe this extremely ‘80s black leather tie by Bottega Veneta? Only time will tell.
Billy Reid Quail Jacket
No fowl were harmed in the making of Billy Reid’s quail jacket, which is inspired by authentic hunting gear but lined with chambray for a softer, cooler feel. Vitally, it’s fabricated from water-repellent waxed cotton sourced from Scotland’s Halley Stevensons, which should give it street cred among actual quail hunters.
Acne Studios Andemer Waxed Crossbody Bag
The Andemer bag by Acne Studios looks a bit like something you might have stashed your pencils inside of in 8th grade, except that it’s made from waxed cotton and functions as a crossbody bag. Yes, that’s an upgrade.
