Paris is one of the centers of the fashion world. Menswear has a saying…if you want flash, you go Italian; if you want quality, you go English. If you want a healthy mix of both with the romance of pure style, you go to Paris. Octobre released the first part of their 2024 fall line with an August full of casual wear, including sweaters, tees, trousers, and polos. This month, they are shifting their focus to the office and event space by releasing a new suiting capsule focused on enduring style and an eco friendly approach that keeps you looking your best and feeling even better about the purchase of Octobre suiting.

Capturing Parisian style

The new suiting from Octobre focuses on providing a Parisian-inspired wardrobe with attractive modern silhouettes. The Hampton is a gorgeous deep brown double-breasted jacket with a loose fit reminiscent of the late ’90s, perfect for the resurgence of the time. They go perfectly with the Terrence Pant in the same color. The next up is the classic pinstripe blue of the Young that perfectly encapsulates the look of the times…recapturing the height of the men’s suit. And finally the Warren Velour is the perfect blue corduroy that emulates James Bond under the Eifel Tower. The collection also includes a herringbone jacket called the Riddle. This jacket will look stellar with your favorite deep brown pants (the Terrence Pants from above fit in with the look) or your dark dress denim, perfect your after-dinner romantic stroll along the Seine.

Suits actor gets comfy off set with Velvet by Graham & Spencer

California basics made for comfort

Velvet x Bryan Greenberg tee

As we all finish binge-watching our favorite Harvey Specter moments as we get ready for the Suits spin-off, we find ourselves reminded of the impeccable fashion we fell in love with on the series. Women marveled over Jessica Pearson's sensational dress and heel combinations. And us men, we learned the value of the power suit from Specter. Now that we have a new LA version of the series (Suits LA) starring Stephen Amell, we can start thinking about the style again, only with a West Coast twist. However, there is another angle to Suits LA's style: the offset collaboration with a different actor. Bryan Greenberg is tackling this new series with the former Arrow actor, and he has put together a new collection. The Velvet x Bryan Greenberg capsule shows off how style isn't reserved for the suit and tie.

Ben Sherman x Ace Cafe combine enduring legacies in a capsule collection

Ben Sherman x Ace Capsule Lifestyle

Ace Cafe was the place to go when the North Circular Road was brand new in 1938. The cafe was frequented mainly by truckers and other travelers on the road until the building was demolished in a WWII air raid in 1940. It took a full nine years before the cafe reopened, and just like England, it bounced back after the war's destruction to become stronger and more successful. Ben Sherman is one of the more popular brands we talk about on The Manual, it is the pinnacle of British style and embodies the rebellious nature of its origins from the 1960s. Six years after Ben Sherman opened its doors in 1963, Ace Cafe was forced to close theirs. The Ben Sherman x Ace Cafe capsule collection is a testament to the enduring legacy of both brands and puts British heritage on full display.
Enduring legacies of rebellious culture

In 1994, the Ace Cafe Reunion organized the convergence of numerous motorcycle runs that played homage to the closure of the original cafe and brought recognition back to the long-loved cafe. Ben Sherman put together a seven-piece capsule, creating a timeless fusion of mod and biker culture spanning from the late 50s to the present day. It includes two tees, two pullover polos (one long sleeve and one short sleeve), two button-ups (one long sleeve and one short sleeve), and a short sleeve zip, all carrying the classic black and white color scheme and checkerboard pattern Ace Cafe is best known for.

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.
