By Beau Hayhoe Published April 21, 2021

When the season starts to shift ever so subtly toward fall, there are certain styles that immediately capture our attention at The Manual. And one of those brands offers up plenty of men’s essentials, which we’ve rounded up in short order. That brand is Alex Mill, a revamped outfit launched earlier in 2019, inspiration from the modern man. The Alex Mill Fall Collection is one of our favorite offerings on tap to start the new season, and these picks below offer up something for everyone, to say the very least.

Corduroy is no longer the stuffy fabric of years gone by — it’s now the type of thing you can often find in a stylish, slim-cut, endlessly versatile shirt like the one seen above. It’s perfect to wear with your favorite dark blue denim, perhaps layered over a thermal henley.

We mentioned the need to layer up with a Buffalo plaid shirt earlier and here’s the very shirt in question — rugged, ready to layer up on a fall weekend, and offered at an agreeable price. It’s perhaps the very definition of the perfect fall shirt.

We’re all well aware of the time-tested appeal of the military jacket — but what if Alex Mill found a way to improve on that? That’s what they’ve done with this take on the field jacket, a new classic in a deep navy. Wear it over a white Oxford shirt with tan chinos (preferably from Alex Mill) this season.

Style hack: How to cuff your shirtsleeves like a pro

Follow this guideline to look masculine

Man with sleeves rolled

In the undoubtedly long list of times you have laid in bed or on the couch, mindlessly scrolling TikTok or Instagram, you have likely come across the innumerable posts, reels, or videos where women list out some of the sexiest things a man can do. You would expect some things: chopping wood, standing between them and danger, or being a good father. Some others are interestingly insignificant in the grand scheme of things and something we all do in our everyday lives without even thinking. Putting your hand on the passenger seat to turn around and back up the vehicle. Placing your hand in just the right place to keep them from hitting their heads. And one of the most often uttered is when a man rolls up his sleeves. Of course, this is just one of many style hacks you can use, and learning how to cuff sleeves is vital to your look. Here is how and why to get it right.
Relaxed and manly style

Why roll up your sleeves? Why take a shirt that was made as a long sleeve and turn it into a short-sleeved shirt? You never see us turning a short-sleeved shirt into a long-sleeved sleeve. Well, first of all, if we could do that, we probably would. But the main reason for doing it is to function. You can't control the weather. Sometimes, it will catch you off guard, and you simply aren't expecting the temperature to rise as it sometimes can. Rolling your sleeves is a great way to roll (pun intended) with the weather the way you do when you layer. It just doesn't require as much preparation.

Your new jacket should be lightweight, versatile, and stylish

A case for lightweight

Man in hat and jacket

When the weather is boiling hot, there is little thought about outerwear. Then, when you are thrust deep into the bitter cold, all you can think about is getting your thickest coat out to protect you from frostbite. But what about those in-between times when it is just cool enough to need something heavier than a sweater but just warm enough that your big winter coat is too much?

That is when you need something for the transition months. You need something lightweight and versatile to help you bridge the gap between the boiling hot and the bitter cold. That is where you need lightweight jackets, something you can wear in warmer moments to guard against the breeze and something you can layer to guard against the unexpected cold. If you are still on the fence, here are some tips to make a case for lightweight jackets.

So many stores have become monstrosities in their surroundings. If you have ever been somewhere that feels truly magical and then taken out of the moment when you run into an Apple store, you know what we're talking about. The Tie Bar's flagship store in Chicago doesn't feel the same. A collection of decorative window displays framed by a black facade fades into the line of buildings of W Armitage Ave, preserving the energy of the street and the city of Chicago. Of course, their hometown is high on their list and became the inspiration of The Tie Bar fall 2024 collection, capturing the feel of the city and the serene midwestern fall.
Channeling Chicago

The collection isn't just any line thrown together to grasp the season's trends. The Core Collection from The Tie Bar channels the aesthetic and aura of the company's hometown, Chicago. The Tie Bar president, Michelle Kohanzo, explains how they brought about the love of the city.
