Out With The Old, In With The Cold: Our Picks For Fall

By

It’s that time of the year again when we have to say so long to your favorite raggedy t-shirt, those tragically torn up flip-flops (please throw them away already – your closet will thank you). Put away those well worn shorts and start thinking about some more seasonably appropriate options. The Manual has compiled a list of ‘fall friendly’ items you should consider picking up before the crispy cold front sets in. Out with the old, and in the with the cold.

Blind Barber Facial Cleanser

How about a fresh start, before we start? Wipe away the sweat and dirt that accumulated during the past few months with Blind Barber’s new facial cleanser. The Wild Watermint Gin Facial Cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, and strong enough to remove all that dirt and oil so your pores don’t get clogged while shaving. Purchase through Blind Barber’s website.

A Barbour jacket is one of those classic items that never goes out of style. Maybe you remember your dad having one? Chances are, he still does. With it’s weather resistant waxed cotton shell, this jacket is perfect for those damp days. You can purchase you’re very own at J.Crew.

Burton Flannel 

You can’t have the Fall without some flannel. You don’t have to be a hipster, and you don’t have to start chopping wood. Flannels are awesome, comfortable, and warm. We could keep going on an on. Check out some of Burton’s options here.

Wildblue Noir Fragrance

Banana Republic’s newest fragrance is a perfect transition cologne from summer to fall because of its woody, herbal notes and dewy spices. This new addition also has warmer hints of vetiver, musk, suede, leather, fresh ground coffee beans and dark chocolate. It kind of sounds like something you’d drink by the fire. Kind of. You can purchase this dapper scent at any Banana Republic store starting in September.

Saving the world by removing one antiquated business practice

The fashion industry is one of the most wasteful on the planet. Almost every brand, indeed all of the big ones, uses the same process for creating the product you have on your back right now. Of course, each garment must be produced in a warehouse and shipped to you or the store where you pick it up. Mostly, that is standard, and many brands have done all they can to limit waste and its environmental impact. However, there is also the process of producing a large-size run to accommodate everyone who wants to buy one. Business approaches and algorithms are used to anticipate how many smalls, mediums, larges, and fringe sizes they will need, but on average, 10-30% of those products end up in landfills. But TWOTHIRDS is doing it differently to limit waste and save the environment, all while ensuring you look as good as possible.
Pre-order makes the product better for the environment

The company just dropped its ss25 collection, and it is full of everything you need for the transition months between the extremely cold and the uncomfortably hot. From light sweaters and jackets to long-sleeve tees and shorts, these are the looks you want to have when the sun comes out. But what sets them apart is their pre-order system, which is how they are changing how we buy clothes. Instead of producing as many garments in each size they THINK they need, they instead release their collections for pre-order and only make what people buy. No waste, high-quality, and stylish. This is how it should have been done all along.

Huckberry figured out the transition jacket with help from Relwen Clothing
Midwest ruggedness for every man
Relwen yellow pullover

Getting yourself a good coat is the perfect way to spend the winter cozied up and protected from the cold. Getting yourself the right fabrics in the summer is the best way to keep yourself cool and your clothing breathable during the sweltering summer. But what about the months in between? Fall and spring are notorious for their cold mornings and warm afternoons. The rise from coat weather to sweaty weather means you have a dire need for a transition wardrobe, and in particular, a great light jacket. Huckberry is one of our favorite brands for the rugged masculine aesthetic, and they figured out how the transition jacket should be with the help of Relwen outerwear.
Relwin sends the message for us to "be lasting"

They got their start in the open fields of the Midwest and still call Columbus, Ohio, their home today. The fields, agricultural farms, and hard-working spirit of America’s heartland give Relwen their motto, “Be lasting.” Like any farm equipment you look at today, there is a purposeful mix between the old ways of doing things and technological innovation. For Relwen, heritage isn't forgotten or sacrificed for the sake of tomorrow's fashion. Instead, it is weaved into classics like canvas jackets, quilted coats, and waxed blazers to give their entire collection a lived-in and worked-in feel. If you need a light jacket, the standout of this collection is the Quilted Insulator Tanker Jacket. And if you need something lower profile, the Heritage Trap Blazer would be your go-to all season long.

Buck Mason allows you to feel like Rocky in their Welterweight Sweats
The Italian Stallion never quit, and now neither will you
Buck Mason Welterweight Sweats

Do you remember the first time you saw it? The moment you watched Rocky Balboa go for a run through the streets of Philidelphia. The everyman surrounded him as they cheered him on for his improbable fateful moment against the greatest boxer in the world. The moment he started sprinting harder and faster, climbing the stairs, he gave us the iconic moment. These moments are burned into our national consciousness. And now you can recreate the look and the grit with the Buck Mason Welterweight Sweats. They may not be the exact ones he wore (those are likely shreds of thread by now), and they won't keep you going, but as far as functional performance clothing goes, they are as close as you can get to the real thing.
Channeling the Italian Stallion

Reaching back to the middle of the 20th Century, Buck Mason utilizes the evolution of cotton jersey production, which was popular in the 1930s. Starting with a French terry knit with three ends and brushed on the inside, it is constructed using flatlock stitching, a classic ribbing at the collar, cuffs, and hems, and ribbed gussets—each engineered to accommodate stretch at high points of stress for the best and most durable workout set you will find. Rocky Balboa never quit; he wasn't the most skilled fighter, the hardest puncher, or the fastest on his feet, but he never quit. It was his tenacity that kept him going and these will keep you going and be as tough as you are. Or, they will work just as well on the couch while you let Rocky do the hard work.
