Soon: turkey, stuffing, digestive football-watching etc. But now: shearling-lined boots from Lemaire, ‘70s inspired virgin wool trousers by Our Legacy and a Billie Todd shawl collar cardigan that you can practically sink into. We’re thankful for these, and a veritable buffet of other enticing menswear picks, below.

Todd Snyder Canadian Full-Zip Jacket in Camel
Image Credit: Todd Snyder Rare is the sweater that can also qualify as legitimate outerwear, but this Canadian-made zip jacket from Todd Snyder pulls it off. Thank its chunky knit, 100% wool fabric and a pair of front pockets that double as hand-warmers.

Bally Montana Leather Snow Boots in Black
Image Credit: Bally Were Johnny Cash living today and planning an Alpine ski trip, we imagine he’d take all his après activities in these Western-inspired boots from Bally Curling. Made from black nubuck leather and insulated by a five-layer technical sole with a Vibram rubber grip, they’re aesthetically striking and climate-appropriate.

Herno Montgenevre Down-Padded Jacket
Image Credit: Farfetch By opting for a wool-blend outer fabric with a velvet finish, this padded jacket from Herno is a bit more polished than it has to be (never a bad thing). And thanks to its down-feather filling, it will prove just as insulating as a more purely utilitarian iteration.

James Perse Grateful Dead Recycled Cashmere Sweater
Image Credit: James Perse California cool-kid minimalism is the order of the day at James Perse. But the LA-based designer is letting his freak flag fly via this unexpected sweater, which is made from recycled cashmere and marked by an iconic Grateful Dead motif.

Lemaire Boots With Shearling
Image Credit: FWRD The key to Lemaire’s house boot style is its clean, stripped-down design. So rather than adding anything on the outside, they’ve taken the interior route and lined it with warming lamb shearling for the colder months to come.

Billie Todd The James Shawl Cardigan
Image Credit: Billie Todd Whether you’re trying to channel Brian Cox in Succession or just warm yourself in the morning while the coffee percolates, you’d be well served by pulling on this shawl collar cardigan by Billie Todd. The chunky sweater—which requires 2.5 pounds of lambswool to make—is knit in Scotland, a fact that we’re sure Brian Cox (if not Logan Roy) would appreciate.

Stüssy Fair isle Knit Bucket Hat Brown
Image Credit: Couveture and the Garb Store Stüssy’s Fair isle bucket hat sits at the intersection of streetwear and geezer style—and delivers both in a crochet-knit pattern. A proper topper for everything from tweed jackets to hooded sweatshirts.

Our Legacy ’70s Virgin Wool Trousers

The Anthology Wingman Blouson Terra Cotta
Image Credit: The Anthology Once-archaic Casentino wool continues to creep into modern closets, this time via an Anthology blouson inspired by vintage flight jackets. Aside from the nubby Tuscan cloth, the piece is also marked by four zipped pockets that form a dramatic “X” across the chest.

Drake’s Norwegian Birdseye Wool Alpaca Crew Neck Jumper
Image Credit: Drake's Canonized within the pages of The Official Preppy Handbook, the Norwegian sweater has been updated for 2022 with an alpaca-blend fabric and a striped ribbed collar. As ever, it’s best complemented by a pink oxford cloth button-down and wheat-colored cords.

Grenson Victor
Image Credit: Grenson Grenson’s Victor takes after the “bush shoes” worn by Afrikaner soldiers in the Boer Wars and is made from waxy Chromexcel leather—in other words, it can survive a rain squall or two. A lugged commando sole will provide sticking power when it’s needed most.
-
Drôle De Monsieur La Banane 90
Image Credit: Drôle De Monsieur Drôle De Monsieur has updated everyone’s favorite banana-shaped fanny pack for fall with Italian-milled corduroy fabric. What goes inside—fallen leaves, freshly picked apples, mulling spices—is up to you.

Pilgrim Surf + Supply Minimalist Salathe Pant
Image Credit: Mohawk General Store Pilgrim Surf + Supply may be selling this pant just a little bit short by dubbing it “minimalist.” There’s nothing minimal about its sturdy cotton-hemp fabric or its oversized rear bucket pockets secured by snap closures.
