Prada, Duluth Trading Co., Daily Paper, Vintage Cowichan Wool, Berg & Berg

EDITOR’S NOTE

Yesterday was the first time of the season I was caught in chilly rain… after being pissed about the fact that I had to walk a few blocks in it completely unprepared, I became quite happy that we are approaching inclement weather season… this is where the men start to separate from the boys when it comes to layering.

Anyway, let’s tap into today.

LUXURY
Boxy Top

Prada always makes waves in the vintage markets, and this 90s boxy polyester jacket is no exception. This throwback piece features a stand-up collar, big button closure, and flap pockets with a clean, minimal look. The jacket's boxy fit and poppy blue color capture the essence of 90s fashion, while the lack of a Prada logo reminds you that it couldn’t have been made today. It's a great find for those looking to add some retro and some color to their wardrobe.

WORKWEAR
Cozy Shacket

Duluth Trading Co. has a burly Thermal Sherpa-Lined Shirt Jacket that serves as a good outer layer for cold weather. It’s got a sherpa lining and a tough cotton shell, making it ideal for serious winter wear. The design includes roomy pockets and a longer back section to keep your a$$ covered when bending or reaching. With its good blend of comfort and utility, this shirt jacket is a solid choice for bulk in chilly temps.

STREETWEAR
Hands Off

The Tariq Trapped Jacket from Dutch brand Daily Paper is a standout piece in obsidian black. Made from soft hand-woven fabric, this jacket features an elastic hem and cuffs for a snug fit. It's equipped with a zipper closure, branded puller, and all-over pockets, including zippered side pockets and an inside pocket for secure storage. The jacket's unique texture and sleek design make it a stylish choice for those looking to elevate their outerwear game.

FORMAL WEAR
Cowichan Vintage

This Cowichan-style sweater with a fish motif is a cozy and eye-catching piece for cooler weather. Made from 100% wool, this zip-up cardigan features an old time fish design on the back and front pocket for recreational flair. The sweater's thick knit and shawl collar provide warmth, while its front zipper and lining allow for easy layering. This unique item blends outdoorsy vibes with classic knitwear, making it a standout choice for outdoor fall events.

OFFICE WEAR
Trouser Deals R Us

Berg & Berg's Antonello Cotton Trousers in Navy (among other colors) offer a wonderfully modern fit for a daily driver trouser. These high-risers feature double pleats and a relaxed fit, drawing style cues from classic 80s and 90s chinos. Made from lightweight English two-ply cotton drill, they're completely suitable for warmer weather wear. The Antonellos can be paired with any jacket for a laid-back suit, or worn on their own for a smart-casual look.

ONE LAST THING….
