We’ve found that there are two camps when it comes to tweed.  One that is convinced that it’s something that should be left to old professors, and the other who understands that it should be an integral part of any Fall wardrobe.  Will give you one guess as to which side of the fence we fall on.  This year, our tweed collection will be growing by at least one piece, the just released Tweed Gentleman’s Jacket by Southern Proper.

As much as it pains us to admit it, we’ll soon be retiring our boatshoes for the season.  Sure, we could extend their life a few more weeks if we paired them with socks, but that’s a line we’re not willing to cross.  Luckily for us, the transition will be a bit smoother this year thanks to a classic Sebago silhouette, the Campsides.

This time of year, a casual pullover is a key piece to any wardrobe.  We’ve been sporting the classic Patagonia Synchilla Snap-T for years, but it’s about time for an upgrade.  We’re not ready to move completely away from Patagonia after so many years of loyal service, so we’re sticking with them and picking up a Diamond Quilt Snap-T Pullover.

We were pretty excited to see Duck Head emerge from the darkness earlier this year, and we’ve kept a pretty close eye on them ever since.  While the original lineup of the new Duck Head stuck with classic offerings like khakis and polos, its already expanding, and we love what we’re seeing.  One of our favorites of the collection is their Chambray Dixie Shirt.

A few years back Sid Mashburn teamed up with Tretorn to put their spin on a classic pair of Nylites.  The result, with its eye catching neon yellow hand dyed upper, has become a go to for us for the last couple of Summers.  Just yesterday, we laid eyes on the latest Masburn and Tretorn collaboration, a Dark Grey Flannel Nylite.  While their flannel upper may be a nod to Mashburn’s bespoke suiting offerings, this pair is made to be paired with your favorite pair of jeans or beat up chinos.
