Stellar Equipment in the winter
Stellar Equipment

It is lightweight, stretchable, and so comfortable that you may not even remember you are wearing it. When you are headed out into the frosty wilderness, you are going to run into more than the weather. While this version will protect you from the cold of the snow and ice and the wet of the rain, it will also allow you to move freely and maneuver your way through the trees and rocks of the forest.

A 3-layer hard shell system made from 100% pre-consumer recycled Japanese nylon fabric featuring DermizaxTMNX technology built for uncompromised winter protection, durability, breathability, low weight, and freedom of movement. Perfected for on-mountain winter activities, the Stellar System blends minimalistic aesthetics and capability with waterproof and industry-leading breathability. This is the perfect addition to your winter gear that will keep you on the mountain the entire season.

The Normal Released the best blazer of the fall and you can still get it
Elevate your tailored wardrobe with the ultimate casual blazer of 2025
The Normal Brand Corduroy Blazer

You know us, we LOVE a good suit and a good sport coat. When they are done right, they are the best kind of garment, tailored perfectly, elevated, and stylish; the job is almost done for you. Whether you are looking for the best suit on the market or whether you need an excellent sport coat for the office, certain styles are classic. The navy and blue options are never going out of style; the tweed look is the perfect fall and winter variety. But The Normal Brand had a different idea this season, and it ended up being the best option of the fall, and people noticed. The Normal Brand Hawthorne Cord Blazer shakes up your tailored wardrobe in the best way possible.
Reinvent your tailored wardrobe

If you think back to 2021, a trend made a brief appearance and then slipped away quietly without much fanfare. Daniel Craig appeared in his final turn as James Bond in No Time to Die and rocked a three-piece corduroy suit in the opening salvo. While the look didn't blow up how it should have, the image still sears four years later. The Normal Brand piggybacked on that idea and offered a double-breasted blazer option that elevates your tailored wardrobe with a casual look that makes you look as sleek as James Bond without the stylist. It is extra warm, making it perfect for winter. It was popular enough that it is going quickly, but if you're lucky enough to get your hands on one, it will be your go-to all winter long.

Buck Mason brings Rocky Mountain majesty back with new collaboration
Old mountain vintage meets new age workwear
Buck Mason Rocky Mountain Hero

Henleys, denim, waxed jackets, and anything you need for the ultimate man's wardrobe can likely be found within the collections of Buck Mason. It doesn't matter if you are the guy who likes to get out into the wilderness and needs some of the most rugged work wear you can find or if you are the guy who needs to find something more elevated like a houndstooth jacket or casual suit for a dinner date, Buck Mason usually has what you need, and they make them accessible for every man. Now they are looking for the guy who lives the Rocky Mountain life and needs the clothing to aid it. The Buck Mason x Rocky Mountain Featherbed collaboration is a deep dive into vintage Americana.
Brought to you by a love of vintage

The story of this collection begins with a man by the name of Cub Schaefer. He built a brand that catered to the ski bums, backpackers, and mountain loyalists who frequented his little majestic corner of the Tetons. His brand, Rocky Mountain Featherbed, blew up until it was forced to close its doors in the 1980s and resurrected by a Japanese brand who kept it going until Buck Mason brought it to the attention of those looking for that moment of majesty. This 17-piece collection brings sweaters, vests, knits, and coats to those looking for a mountain getaway or something to wear for the hard days on the ranch, factory, or any job requiring tough and durable garments.

Taylor Stitch’s Morse pant is the upgrade your chinos need
Add more depth to your chino wardrobe with something unique
Taylor Stitch Morse Pant Close Up

One of the great things about chinos is that they are always in style and always appropriate, no matter the time of year. In the spring, they pair with a polo and light jacket; in the summer, they are a linen shirt's perfect companion; in the fall, they work well with your rugged boots and flannels; and in winter, they are a sweater's best friend. In short, it is always sweater season. But the downside of that is that chinos can get boring. The run-of-the-mill cotton chino can feel like the same old thing. Taylor Stitch is a company that likes to take the same old thing and make it new and better. That is why the Taylor Stitch Morse Pant is the upgrade your chino collection needs this winter.
Add depth and texture to a classic look

While your chinos are likely solid brushed cotton that keeps you in style year after year with their simplicity, the Morse Pant offers something a little different. The subtle herringbone pattern will help you stand out while keeping your style classic and toned down. Combining these with a textured shirt like a waffle henley or utility shirt gives the look a textured nuance that any man's wardrobe needs.
