Classic silhouette. Modern versatility. The Ministry of Supply Aviator Bomber is an updated take on the classic bomber, built from lightweight moisture-wicking fabric, and featuring four-way stretch where you bend the most, laser-drilled ventilation holes on the upper back and under the arms, and waterproof zippers to keep you dry even when the ground's not.

With winter on the way out, it's time to secure the right outerwear before the warm weather hits. The Anorak from Everlane is an uncomplicated, functional choice to help make the season transition seamless. With an adjustable hood, double-sided slant pockets, and a lightweight, smooth fabric, it's what you'll reach for when you head outside and aren't quite sure how the weather will shake out. It's made from water resistant polyester, which gives it a wrinkle free texture, further reinforcing the utilitarian yet minimalist qualities that make it so tempting.

You've got a great coat, gloves, boots, and maybe even a hat to ward off Winter's chill. But each time you step out into the freezing temperatures, your face and neck remain exposed. The Outlier Hood provides excellent protection from the neck up, with an inner layer of merino knit to keep things soft, a mid layer of Primaloft Infinity insulation to keep things warm, and an outer layer of cotton from Switzerland to repel the wind and remain breathable. A cozy headpiece that keeps Winter at bay, but won't make you look like a sweaty mess after it's removed.
Blending classic style with modern materials, the Mission Workshop Styrman Waterproof Topcoat is a smart mix of old and new. It's built from Swiss-made Schoeller c_change fabric, which uses a waterproof, breathable, and heat-reactive membrane to regulate body temperature. The exterior of wool lends a luxury feel to the product, while the full-seam taping, removable hood, and aforementioned membrane keep you dry. Made in Vancouver, it's finished with two internal and two zippered hand-warmer pockets.
Mixing classic motorcycle aesthetics with rugged outdoor reliability, the Barbour X Deus Ex Machina Horace Jacket is ready to keep you warm on cold winter rides. It's made using a super heavyweight, water-resistant waxed cotton that's treated to achieve a leather-like vintage finish, and features a traditional four-pocket layout, warm lining, sturdy metal snaps, and a variety of leather detailing.

Celebrate a rich history of American cycling with the Bell x Schott 60th Anniversary Motorcycle Jacket. Created to celebrate the 1954 founding of Bell Helmets, the design of this 100% horsehide jacket is informed from decades of riding, featuring zip sleeves, a bi-swing back and underarm footballs for greater range of motion, a zip-out pile liner for added warmth when necessary, a tonal Bell rally stripe, and slash-cut chest and side pockets. Limited to just 250 individually-numbered pieces.
Most companies' answer for "How to keep you warm" is to throw a bunch of down between some fabric and call it a day. But not Isaora. Their Microlight IR Down Jacket is filled with a Thermadown material that's treated with Celliant, a potent mix of thermo-reactive minerals that convert your body heat to infrared energy, which in turn promotes circulation, increases tissue oxygen levels, and helps regulate body temperature. Of course, all that's not going to do much good if you're soaking wet, so the filling is also treated with HyperDry to ensure that should any moisture make it past the ultralight micro ripstop fabric outer, it won't be reaching your skin.
Named after and inspired by the M-65 Field Jacket introduced to the US military 50 years ago, the Isaora 3L M65 Tech Shell retains its military attitude while updating the classic with modern materials. Like the original, this jacket features a stow-away hood, Velcro cuff adjusters, and multiple utility pockets. But unlike the original, it's made using a 3-layer, waterproof, breathable 2-way stretch nylon from Japan that's laser cut and fully seam taped throughout for superior moisture protection, and features YKK VT-9 waterproof zippers and an internal phone pocket — a big deal for those trying to keep their giant iPhones out of their pants pockets.
When it comes to menswear, most of the time it's best to just stick to the classics — tried and true staples that haven't let men down for generations — but that doesn't mean the classics couldn't do with an improvement or two. The Isaora Mac Raincoat sticks with the silhouette of one of the most timeless pieces to ever hang in a man's closet, but updates just about everything else. Featuring highly-water-resistant technical nylon throughout, welded seams that just won't leak, flexible panels at crucial points, and a single vent at the rear, it'll stand up against the elements while moving the way you do. What more could you want in a raincoat?
When you climb on your bike, you know that, as important as looking good is, it's even more important to wear gear that keeps you safe in case of a crash. Fortunately for you, the Aether x Spidi Eclipse Motorcycle Jacket accomplishes both flawlessly, giving you great style and uncompromising protection. Designed by Aether and constructed by Spidi, it features beautiful premium leather work, yarn-dyed cotton lining, box quilting, and armor in the elbows, shoulders, and back. It sports a snug fit that's still flexible and lightweight enough that it doesn't get in your way while riding, all while giving you every bit the defense you need against the road.
We can only guess that the Patagonia Houdini Jacket gets its name from its uncanny ability to disappear into its own small zippered chest pocket — pulling a vanishing act that would make its namesake proud. For all its ability to compress into a tiny, packable pouch, this jacket isn't without its utility, featuring a durable, waterproof, and light nylon shell, that still lets your body breathe while blocking the wind and cold. Drawstrings at the hem and hood coupled with half elastic cuffs let you really get snugly when the mercury drops, while reflective logos on the front and back mean you can be seen when you need to.
Despite the name, you don't need to live on a farm to get plenty of use out of this Levi's Barn Coat ($200). Built from a 55/45 nylon/cotton blend, this versatile olive jacket was inspired by military uniforms and traditional workwear, which explains its ability to look good with both flannels, button downs, and plain old t-shirts. Several pockets take care of your gadget-transport needs, while velcro cuffs keep the wind out, a drawstring in the waist keeps it tight to your body, and elbow pads keep things from getting too formal.
It might not be Tom Ford, but we're pretty sure Jay-Z wouldn't complain about you sporting this Shawn Carter x Rick Owens Mollino Crocodile Jacket ($58,000). The result of a collaboration between the two creatives, this jacket is made from actual crocodile, and features a funnel collar with off-center zipper, long, slim-cut arms, zippered cuffs, another zippered pocket on the left sleeve, and a shoulder-to-shoulder zipper on the back that provides access to a hidden pouch. And should you feel bad about dropping over $50K on a single piece of outerwear, know that 100% of the proceeds will go to the Shawn Carter Foundation, which provides scholarships to deserving low-income students.
Multi-purpose jackets aim to do more than one thing well, but usually end up being one trick ponies. This isn't the case with the Aether Nimbus 3-in-1 Jacket ($825), which was created so that each part could stand alone confidently, regardless of the weather. The fully seam-sealed shell is made from a 3-layer woven-wool fabric with a tricot backer. Hidden snap connectors keep the vest, and the clean design intact when it's worn on its own. Add on the exterior zippered hand-warmer pockets, a zipper garage at the collar, and a zippered interior pocket, and you have a jacket that is not the only multi-purpose, but practically essential to put on before going out.
The Jack Spade x Barbour Hopper Jacket ($800) is as good as it gets when you're looking for versatile autumn outerwear. Made in partnership with Barbour — a name synonymous with waxed cotton jackets — this great-looking jacket will get you through anything fall throws your way. It features waxed cotton construction with nylon reinforcement, a quilted button-out orange vest for extra insulation, and a corduroy club collar. Other details include American-flag themed ventilation eyelets, a buckle-neck strap, a plaid liner, and double-zipper and button closure.
While it isn't a blazer in the truest sense — you're not going to be wearing it to formal business meetings anytime soon — the Levi's Packable Blazer ($180) can certainly serve as the outer layer of an above-casual outfit in a pinch. Made from quilted nylon, this jacket is designed for travel, making it easy to stuff into a bag, backpack, or rucksack, and also features long sleeves, a regular fit, and side-flap pockets that make it just that much dressier than a standard rain jacket or hoodie. Available in a versatile liquorice colorway that should look good with nearly anything.
Whether he was acting, racing motorcycles, or driving very fast cars, Steve McQueen undeniably ranks among the coolest guys to ever live. You may never rise to his level, but you can still channel your inner Steve with the Porsche Steve McQueen Jacket ($500). Modeled after 70s-era race wear, the inside of the jacket features an iconic image of Steve outside his Porsche 908 (which he drove in, and nearly won, the 12 Hours of Sebring with a broken foot). Whether you wear it to the track, or out for a cruise, drive fast — he certainly would have.
If you're going to buy a hardcore parka, you might as well buy the best one ever made. And according to the company, that would be the Patagonia Encapsil Down Belay Parka ($700). Independently baffled and differentially cut, it offers the company's new breakthrough Encapsil 1000-fill-power European goose down insulation that's made using advanced techniques; both make the parka the first of its kind. The same techniques also make the down water-resistant, a feature that's helped along by the 10-denier Pertex nylon ripstop outer and lining, a thick, helmet-compatible baffled hood, and exterior handwarmer pockets. Despite all the warmth, it still weighs just 18 oz. and folds up the size of a football, and should you be thinking of buying one, you might want to hurry — it's a numbered limited edition garment, so when they're gone, they're gone.

Next time you want to look stylish on your motorbike and stay warm at the same time, skip the leathers and don the Aether Skyline Motorcycle Jacket ($650). Made with a 3-layer Field Nylon shell, the Skyline is both waterproof and abrasion resistant, while allowing your skin to breathe. Other features include protective elbow, shoulder, and back pads, zippered chest pockets with interior mesh vents, front hand pockets with snap closures, zip vents around the armpits for air intake and matching back vents for exhaust, an interior zippered pocket, and the all important black reflective material on the collar and in the back. Available in four tasteful colorways.
