New Year’s Eve is one of the events we look forward to every year. Whether you are going to Times Square, celebrating at a big watch party to see the festivities on the big screen with an open bar, or sitting at home and letting the kids stay awake until midnight for the only time of the year, it’s a big day for everyone. When you are shaking off the bad things that happened in 2024, reminiscing about the good things that took place this year, and planning what you want to accomplish in 2025, your party is a big moment, and what you wear is just as significant. If you are like us, you love dressing up in something a little louder and having a little more fun with a great cocktail look. One brand has hit the nail on the head this year for the best jacket for your NYE party. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat is the unique look that will make you the center of attention as you ring in the new year.

Combining two looks into one

What makes a great sport coat for New Year’s? For us, it is something unique that stands out. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat does this by combining two of the excellent sport coat looks of the season. Paisley is a great way to stand out with your smoking jacket, dinner jacket, or unique sport coat. And corduroy is a staple in the fall and winter seasons. This sport coat combines them both with a corduroy fabric blessed with a subtle but vibrant paisley pattern. This is the best coat to ring in the new year.

MoS releases a coat that seems perfect for Bond

Ministry of Supply heated coat

Ministry of Supply is a company that excels at functional fashion. They pride themselves in creating products that are just as comfortable, versatile, and durable as they are stylish. Stretch fabrics, wrinkle-free, and stain-resistant garments make it easy for you to look great and not have to be careful about what you wear. They are some of the best in the game at allowing you to be carefree without being careless. Named after the department in the Ministry of Defense that supplies James Bond with his legendary gadgets, Ministry of Supply is passionate about keeping you moving. This season, they found the perfect way to keep you warm with a gadget good enough for 007 himself. The Ministry of Supply Mercury Heated Town Coat is the elevation your coat wardrobe needs.
Gadgetry suitable for James Bond

The Melton coat is an iconic addition to any coat wardrobe, but it has some problems: 1 - it is light for the winter weather, so there are only a few months you can wear it. 2 - it has high dry cleaning costs due to the wool. The Ministry of Supply Mercury Heated Town Coat solves both of those issues as the wool is machine washable, and it offers a flexible and feather-light carbon nanotube panel that provides three levels of instantaneous, adjustable heat - plug in a USB-C battery, hit the power button and get back to your day.

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.

You can embrace this year’s ‘old is new’ trend with Olderbest

Military, work, and mid-century inspired style

Olderbest Fair Isle Sweater

This season is all about raiding your grandfather's closet for the best items from yesterday. Call it vintage chic, call it old-is-new, or call it whatever you want. We prefer Grandpa-Core. Vintage styles made popular, from loose-fitting pleated Donegal pants made popular in the early 1900s to the baggy styles of the Y2K era, are popping up all over the industry and giving all of us a fit of nostalgia. Of course, finding quality goods that fit this criteria without raiding your ancestor's closets or spending an arm and a leg is a tricky proposition. Luckily for all of us, brands are emerging into popularity that fill the void and give all of us the garments that keep us in nostalgic heaven. Olderbest is a third-party retailer that excels in bringing these brands together.
Vintage-inspired clothing with modern quality

There are three main avenues of the old-school looks that most of us like to emulate. The military styles of the past, which include garments like a Vietnam utility shirt, a WWII flight jacket, or a peacoat from Navy origins. The workwear looks feature old railway-striped jackets and selvage denim, and you could never go wrong with a good pair of coveralls. And finally, you have the vintage looks of suspenders, flat caps, cardigans, and loose-fitting pleated trousers. Olderbest brings together a collection of brands, including Bronson MFG. CO., Remains Clothing, and Time Catcher Clothing. While other people are scrounging thrift stores, second-hand shops, and smuggling old favorites from their grandpa's house, you can find your own right here.
