“We wanted to do something that still felt very us but in an accessible and not too serious way – refined, approachable and all-American,” Ernest Sabine, founder of Ernest Alexander, told us at the GQxGap launch event in New York City.

You can expect to find menswear with a mix of rock-and-roll meets Saville Row from NYC based Bespoken and laid back surf-inspired gear from California label Aviator Nation.  Ernest Alexander will showcase his rugged yet refined handcrafted goods, while Baldwin delivers modern denim wear from the heart of Kansas City.

Standout pieces include the Bespoken suede baseball jacket and the Aviator Nation reversible puffer vest.  Plus, you won’t want to miss out on any of the Ernest Alexander bags.

With prices ranging from $30-$348 for accessories to outerwear, make sure to check out the select Gap retailers carrying the collection or head over to gap.com before supplies sells out.

There are so many options, from stressed and faded jeans to more professional-looking slim tech pants in a solid, even color. If you want to fill some gaps in your wardrobe and don't want to spend too much, now's the time to do it. Amazon and Levi's are featuring some excellent early Prime Day deals -- there are too.

Indeed, but in recent years, the deals haven't been much better during the main event, especially on apparel and clothing, name-brand stuff included. These Levi's deals are likely as close to the lowest they'll get, and even if they're not, there's plenty of opportunity to capitalize on all of the best offers.
