Eleventy Varsity V-Neck Sweater

Honor the Gift Dice Cotton & Acrylic Knit Cardigan

P. Johnson Tennis Quarter Zip

Polo Ralph Lauren Corduroy Belted Jacket

Instead, it features a safari jacket-style silhouette, complete with a throat latch, sets of cargo and patch flap pockets and an inverted back pleat.

Todd Snyder Japanese Sherpa Lined Flannel Basecamp Shirt
Image Credit: Todd Snyder As the name implies, Snyder’s latest shacket is inspired by vintage mountaineering wear. If more evidence is needed, just look to its Sherpa fleece lining, side-entry hand pockets and a pair of flap patch pockets at the chest that can surely hold a Clif Bar or two.
