Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket ($875)
The quality, durability and absolutely stunning style of the Moto Jacket precedes itself. The Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket was a huge hit last year, and it’s back again this year in a very badass black colorway, made from 3.5oz. Full-grain steerhide and cut slim. Buy it via the special pre-funding price, and wait anxiously for it to arrive. And when you do receive it? Wear it with a Taylor Stitch flannel shirt extensively in the cold weather.
Eddie Bauer x Pendleton 1936 Skyliner ($400)
Eddie Bauer knows a thing or two about hard-wearing outerwear built for the elements, and the Eddie Bauer x Pendleton 1936 Skyliner ups the ante even further in terms of functionality and style. You get your pick of four Pendleton wool patterns, each inspired by a different national park, and a revamped silhouette inspired by the original 1936 Skyliner jacket. It’s your upgraded bomber jacket for the season.
Bridge & Burn Flint Overshirt in Denim ($182)
So, while the above overshirt isn’t a classic jacket per se, it’s an essential outerwear purchase for the season. Lined with a neat plaid flannel liner, the rich indigo denim outerwear is the ideal weight to layer up over a slim white henley or a classic chambray shirt. And the rich indigo color also means it can be paired with selvedge denim for a heritage-inspired look.
JackThreads Corduroy Trucker ($79)
If you think a trucker jacket is only fit for warmer weather, think again. JackThreads — purveyors of everything from affordable stretch denim to affordable chambray shirts — have taken this silhouette and done it up in a rich corduroy for a unique piece of outerwear. Wear it with a long-sleeve merino tee, slim blue denim and retro runner sneakers for casual weekend outings galore.
Exley Waxed Cotton Service Jacket ($575)
Exley describes itself as the “new New England,” and styles like the Waxed Cotton Service Jacket back that up nicely. The brand’s aesthetic — as you can see in the image at the very top — is nothing but classic style and functionality. There’s a whole lot of heritage blended with modern wearability — this is the type of jacket to wear extensively on fall long weekends, made in New England from a Staywax cotton shell that’ll hold up very well over time.
