Lands' End Canvas
Outfit yourself for the winter without spending a ton of cash with Lands' End Canvas ($25-$325). This new line from the storied sailing apparel outfit mixes classic designs with a casual feel, offering tops, pants, outerwear, and shoes that transition well from the office to the after hours get together.
Polo Ralph Lauren Slim Fit Shirt
Get the classy look of Polo without the oversized bulk in the Polo Ralph Lauren Slim Fit Shirt ($100). This long-sleeved button-down is made from yarn-dyed cotton broadcloth, comes in four styles, and features barrel cuffs, a slightly curved shirttail hem, a chest pocket, and a slim, modern fit that is perfect for cold weather layering.
Dave's Quality Meat Inside Out Flannel Shirt
We're not really quite sure why they call it what they do, but Dave's Quality Meat Inside Out Flannel Shirt ($79) is a quality fall garment. With plaid flannels coming back into style this season, Dave's Inside Out wears well with classic, large plaid patterns in either red or navy, button cuffs, a front chest pocket, and all the lumberjack flair you can handle.
Hamilton 1883 Shirts
Made to honor the company's 125th anniversary, the new line of Hamilton 1883 Shirts ($165-$185) combines the best of the old with a taste of the new. Built of the company's bespoke tradition, these recreations of six of the company's most classic designs — including the long-sleeve oxford, utility, western, and white collar, as well as the classic short sleeve and pullover — are tailored with a slimmer cut to better compliment modern attire, and come pre-washed and ready-to-wear. They may be expensive, but if they last one-fifth as long as the company has, they're still quite a value.
Socks by Mack Weldon
So comfortable customers routinely claim they’re “walking on clouds” thanks to the cushioned footbed. The No Shows ($14.50/2 pack) have a “no slip grip” that stays put in low cut summer shoes, while the crew length styles actually stay up if you want them to. Get one or get them all - the Sock Drawer ($135) includes 16 pairs. But do get them soon, because like all things Mack Weldon makes, these are in high demand (and insanely comfortable).
Nike Tradition Defined Jerseys
Support your favorite Viking while paying homage to past gridiron glory with Nike Tradition Defined Jerseys ($80). Available for Brett Favre in the form of his black #4 Southern Mississippi jersey, or for Adrian Peterson and his red #28 Oklahoma uniform, these throwback jerseys feature tackle twill name and number applications, a woven jocktag at the front hem line, and old-school Nike emblems on the front chest. Amazing.
Rugby Make Your Own Shirts & Sweaters
Tired of going to your local store only to find rack after rack of perfectly good tops held back by stupid embroidery and stitched logos? Take back control of the situation with Rugby Make Your Own Shirts & Sweaters ($40-$150). Available in a wide variety of cuts including sweaters, button-ups, polos, and cardigans, this unique offering lets you choose exactly what patches and script adorns your top, giving you the chance to get a great-looking shirt without the stupid moose, dog, crocodile, or polo player.
Burton Sleeper Hoodie
We're big fans of donning a hoodie when flying, and the Burton Sleeper Hoodie ($100) was made for exactly that. It features a dedicated pocket with a headphone cable port for your media player of choice, an internal passport and ticket pocket, mesh lining, and an integrated/removable inflatable neck pillow for those long cross-country flights.
J.Crew Sueded Fleece Crewneck Pullover
Stay warm and comfortable this fall in the J.Crew Sueded Fleece Crewneck Pullover ($40). Available in blue and grey, this soft casual sweater features smooth brushed cotton, sweatshirt-like V-detailing at the neck, and ribbed cuffs, hem, and side panels. Whether it's going over a button-up or being worn by itself, its a versatile seasonal staple that belongs in every guy's closet.
Gap Fitted Two-Pocket Shirt
Perfect for a lazy weekend, the Gap Fitted Two-Pocket Shirt ($45) is more casual than a traditional button-up, yet twice as functional. It sports two button-close front flap chest pockets, a spread collar, a fitted cut, soft 100% cotton build, and interior button-through tabs for rolling up your sleeves — and keeping them there.

Gitman Brothers Vintage Oxford
Every man needs a simple, classic, wear-with-anything white button-down, and the Gitman Brothers Vintage Oxford ($121) is one of the best we've seen. With a fit and details influenced by 70s and 80s styles, this shirt features a 100% cotton build, a V-stitch pocket, a narrow split yolk, and a back collar button down. In addition, it arrives pre-washed to its true size, so you don't have to worry about it shrinking up the first time you clean it.
Ruehl Buthune Street Cardigan
Cover up on those upcoming breezy, cool nights with the Ruehl Buthune Street Cardigan ($118). Made from an 85% cotton/15% cashmere blend, this stately charcoal cover features two low front pockets, contrast piping, wood-style buttons, and a ribbed hem and cuff. A perfect compliment to a nicely-starched polo or button up, and equally useful for offering chivalrous aid to chilly companions.
Johnny Cupcakes Button Up Shirts
Johnny Cupcakes is no longer just doing tasty tees. His two new Button Up Shirts ($60) blend classic styling with some colorful, streetastic details. Take your pick from the chambray grey shirt with lime green check details or the black & white picnic plaid with purple details. Both sport an imperial cupcake crossbones logo label.
