If you have never been in a Bonobos store, you may be a little thrown the first time. There is only one of each garment. It is a store that is minimal, clean, and not at all the chaotic overturned stacks in the mall stores you’re used to. And that is a designed effect, cutting down on mass-produced waste. The shopping experience is meant to be more tailored to you. Your specific sizing and fit profile are taken, and if there is something you like, you order your perfect size, and it is sent to your home. Like an in-person online experience.

The brand began with the momentum of some innovative pants the creator, Brian Spaly created in Stanford Business School with a curved waistline…an upgrade on the regular khaki pant. Now, they are focused on two simple concepts for their fall line that continue their sustainable mindset.

Focusing on foundational versatility

While nearly all of Bonobos’ clothes are versatile and can be worn both in the office and on your casual outing, the fall 24 line from the brand looks ripped straight out of a capsule wardrobe. The minimalist feel of the neutral colors and men’s basics mirrors the feel of their store. Their Primo Chino sports the look of a heavier pant without the bulk, making them perfect for year-round wear. And their Everyday Oxford shirt and Hudson Long Sleeve Polo encapsulate your classic, everyday wear. Both their tops and bottoms come in 4+ different fits, making them just as versatile as anything in your closet. For a brand that is normally bright and unique in colors and patterns, a focus on foundational garments in versatile looks are a change of pace.

Taylor Stitch channels their Yellowstone aura with this year’s western shirt

Emulate your favorite Dutton in a fan favorite

Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket

We don't know why, but we assume it is because we have been watching the new season of Yellowstone. Whatever the reason, we are seeing Western-style infiltrate every corner of men's style, and Taylor Stitch is doing its part. Whether you go for workwear or outerwear, there is always something for you to use functionally, along with the fashion. One of our favorite shirts is the western shirt, and there is a new one landing this season that will make Rip Wheeler envious while driving cattle. The Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket is the perfect mix between function and fashion and makes you feel right at home in the bunkhouse or on the trail.
Fan favorite takes you to the Dutton Ranch

The western shirt is a fan favorite look that seems to pop up every year. But this year's iteration just seems to have a bit more of a punch to it. Maybe it is because of the Duttons, maybe not. But this year, Taylor Stitch brings out a version that looks perfect for the ranch, and is equally stylish enough for the bar and tough enough for the ropin pen. Let's just hope it never has to visit the train station.

Ledbury changes the suit look with a unique dress shirt option for fall/winter

Update your dress shirts with a flannel

Ledbury Flannel Dress Shirt Open Collar

Wearing a suit every day is a blessing and a curse. The blessing part of the lifestyle is that you get 12 months of embodying the kind of elevated elegance owned by the likes of James Bond and Harvey Specter. You feel the way people treat you; they assume you are someone important. The curse part of it is in the summer, it can be stifling hot, and in the winter, it can be blistery cold, and there aren't a ton of things you can do to fight that. That is until you find a brand that does the small things to help in that matter. Seersucker and linen suits in the summer and cashmere and tweed suits in the winter are the usual answers. But the Ledbury flannel dress shirt takes a different approach to the winter season by adding style and warmth to your seasonal looks.
Adding flannel to your suiting

Two southern gentlemen who worked and studied together under one of London's premier shirt makers brings you a unique elevation to your shirt wardrobe with the Hartman Flannel. While it is customizable to be anything you want, getting it in its stock form gives you an attractive spread collar and double button barrel cuff similar to your other dress shirts. The flannel gives a thickness to your shirt that makes it perfect in the colder months. The softness keeps you from feeling like it is weighing you down, and the elevated pattern allows you to pair it well with your tweed suits or your knit ties. There is no reason to be basic with an option like this on the market.

Two American legends come together to get you outdoors

Todd Snyder x Woolrich combine to create a legendary capsule

Todd Snyder x Woolrich Scenic Sweater

When you are a clothing brand that's been around long enough to provide socks, coats, and blankets to the Union Army in the Civil War, you can pretty much call yourself the country's oldest outdoor outfitter. And that is exactly what Woolrich calls themselves. Coming up on 200 years of excellence, the brand still holds true to its three core values: American heritage, Purposeful design, and iconic brand elements. Todd Snyder is another American icon who has established a name that very well could be around at his bi-centennial celebration, thanks to impeccable style and incredible craftsmanship. These two have now come together for an epic collaboration to get you outdoors. The Todd Snyder x Woolrich is now available for the dedicated outdoor enthusiast.
1830s heritage with modern Snyder style

The 35+ items in the collection have many things to love. The number one thing that will likely catch your attention if you are a fan of Woolrich is the Buffalo Check Long Parka. One of Woolrich's most famous creations is the Buffalo Check flannel, which was inspired by the buffalo owned by the Woolrich family. Snyder puts a modern spin on the garment by making it more usable for the outdoors in extreme cold. The Reflective Shirt Jacket may look like a standard felted wool jacket, but on closer inspection, you will find the kind of Todd Snyder detail he has been known for, a reflective glass woven into the fibers to create a silver-white glow. These are just two examples of the features and style you can expect from the two icons of Americana.
