The Manual’s Top 5 Winter Coats

By

Can you feel that? That’s fall gently nudging you to invest in a new coat for the cold season. Fear not, we have five awesome options to ensure you hunker down in style.

1. Mason Mac by A.P.C.

Recommended Videos

This is timeless option perfect for the modern minimalist. Crafted from Italian water-repellent tricotine and lined with faux sheepskin, this smart mac is going to be your best friend during those cold and rainy winter days. We love the large patch pockets – perfect for keeping your phone safe and dry.

2. David Parka by Stone Island

OK, prepare to be impressed by the technology behind the construction of this super parka. Firstly, the David has been treated with an anti-drop agent. Then, during the dyeing process, the fabric is put through a heat-induced compression to create a truly tactile finish. Together with the unique double hood, lined first with woolen felt and the second with detachable sheepskin, and nylon lining filled with the finest down, this may be the warmest, most stylish sleeping bag we’ve ever experienced. Just imagine those smug snowy days…

3. Spiewak Melton Pea Coat

This military classic will see you through, way beyond the impending winter season. This pea coat is particularly awesome because it’s inspired by the pea coats that Spiewak has actually supplied for the US military, since 1917. Made from a tough melton wool blend shell, this smart piece of outerwear will keep the chill out until spring.

4. Barn Jacket by Gant

Shearling jackets are BIG news this season. If you’re a little unsure about full-on sheepskin, tap into the trend with this understated tribute by Gant. Crafted from buttery soft moleskin, this jacket features a detachable faux-shearling collar, a modern and lightweight alternative to the real thing. Featuring 12 pockets in total, the Barn Jacket fuses style and function in equal measures.

5. Bowerbridge by Penfield

We love the idea of wearing this vibrant orange hue amidst the inevitable winter gray. Undoubtedly, puffa jackets are having a moment and this offering from Penfield is our fave. Based on the typical down jackets of the 1970s, the super lightweight Nylon shell belies the incredible warmth of the quilt-through down inside. A great option for the weekend and the workday, just add chinos and brogues.

Taylor Stitch proves that Made in America is still popular
International production may be popular but Made in America is selling out
Taylor Stitch Made in USA jacket

Many clothing brands make a decision at some point during the scale-up phase to ship manufacturing jobs overseas in an effort to increase their profits. That, in turn, increases the value of their stocks, and the growth just skyrockets from there. However, that means jobs go away and, in a lot of ways, means the quality suffers a little. That is why garments that are made in America just feel different. They feel stronger and more durable and let you take a feeling of pride in what you wear. That is why Taylor Stitch put together a collection of items Made in America that embody the spirit of home while making you look and feel great. But before you run over to the site and grab up all you can, you need to know one thing about the Taylor Stitch Made in America collection.
Items are flying off the shelves

The three most significant and most popular items in the collection are a collaboration with San Francisco legend Golden Bear Sportswear, the Golden Bear Snap Bomber, which balances vintage curb appeal with heirloom quality construction to earn its place as the go-to statement piece in your wardrobe. While it still has limited sizes available, the the Camp Pant in Rigid Indigo Sashiko and Mill Shirt Jacket in Rigid Indigo Sashiko are completely sold out. What does that tell us? Other than Taylor Stitch makes excellent quality homemade products, the people love them. We will keep our eye on those in hopes that they come back. Partly for you and partly because we want to get our hands on them as well.

Dr. Martens releases new collaboration
models starting at dr martens in midair

Although Dr. Martens has built its legacy as a go-to for boots, it’s hardly been considered rugged material- until now. With their latest collaboration with thisisneverthat, Dr. Martens is taking its classic styles and giving it a tough upgrade. Donning a new look each, these are far from the fresh and sleek new boots you’ve grown accustomed to. These new workwear boots are made to be worn out, give your footwear a unique story, and maximize use. Using iconic details from both brands, the latest workwear boots will add style to your everyday looks.

Banana Republic taps The White Lotus star for SS25 campaign
Nicholas Duvernay is a model for the first time
Banana Republic

Banana Republic is a staple in accessible fashion. It isn't a brand that lives only on the runways where everyday people feel disconnected, and it is more elevated than the run-of-the-mill selections those men who care little for style and standards prefer. It carved a place for itself in the middle, accessible for all and loved by most. With their launch of the spring and summer line, they tapped the star of The White Lotus, Nicholas Duvernay, to model the new pieces, and even though he had never done it before, he looked like a natural.

"Banana Republic’s pieces are timeless, blending the brand’s heritage with modern styles," says Nicholas Duvernay. "The craftsmanship and quality fabrics make them as comfortable as they are elevated—perfect for a night in the city or a weekend getaway. Shooting this campaign was an incredible experience, celebrating style, quality, and the spirit of exploration that defines Banana Republic."
