October - Top 10

Rounding up this month's best items!

What’s going on everyone! Another month is wrapped up, and just like that we are starting to close in on the end of 2023… kind of crazy how fast this year went by. Anyway, this month was exciting, it was filled with a lot of great newsletters and of course some amazing items. Buckle up though, because I’m coming in hot in November… The Boot Report is cooking, the winter headwear newsletter is also coming, and a bunch of more exciting topics that are geared exclusively toward the colder weather.

Until then though, make sure you are up to date with everything that happened this month by checking out October’s newsletter lineup:

• It’s time to put away your Arc’teryx jacket - Taking a look at rain-ready outerwear alternatives that will keep you looking fly and prepped for the outdoors.

• The Pants Report™ - Checking out a few recent pickups I'm excited about, cozy options, and pants that are perfect for the colder weather.

This month’s Top 10 is filled with heat!!

10. THAMES PANAYIOTOU POLO

Thames is underrated in terms of good prep style garments. This particular joint should definitely be on your radar, and still available directly on the website in a lot of sizes here.

9. KAPITAL KOUNTRY BORO ZIP JACKET

Do I even need to say anything? Just look at this thing, it’s absolutely crazy! Boro stitching running throughout the entire piece, and it’s one of those things that will get better as you wear and tear it. Part of SS24, no release date yet.

8. ENGINEERED GARMENTS x PARABOOT CLUSAZ

The Clusaz might be one of Paraboots most underrated models, so I was really excited to see Engineered Garments tapping in to shine light on this one. These are still floating around for sale at various website like Nepenthes and Totem Shop!

7. LE FLEUR x LACOSTE

The first time I saw this collab I was pretty underwhelmed, but to my surprise it actually ended up growing on me a lot. I think it’s mainly due to the hardware detailing that was used across the collection. Simple pieces mixed with elevated hardwear makes for a good mix!

6. WYTHE x HUCKBERRY LEATHER JACKET

Money is temporary, swag is forever. That’s what I’ve been saying to myself ever since I peeped this piece. I mean, leather jackets are never going to go out of style, and if you’re to get one you might as well make it quality that will last you a lifetime. Lots of sizes of this one still available directly on the Huckberry website.

5. PALACE BIG PUFFER JACKET

Extremely disappointed in my tardiness because I completely forgot about the drop… Really wanted that camo one but I was 4 minutes too late and now I’ll have to either way for new colors next year or try to get one on resell… Either way, the L is real.

4. SUPREME x STONE ISLAND

Ok to be real this might be one of my favorite leather jackets that dropped in the last few years. My ignorant ass really thought this was going to be < $1400 but when I saw the price tag of over $2000 I lost my damn mind. I guess I can’t be surprised but still.

3. COMME DES GARCONS HOMME PLUS CONVERTIBLE HIKING BOOT

I don’t actually know a lot about this particular hiking boot and just randomly discovered it not too long ago. At first it looks like your classic hiking leather boot, but then you realize that you can turn it into a low top and that’s the magic. If anyone knows any additional information please drop me a line I would love to learn more!

2. NIKE AIR MAX 95

Originally I thought this was a Nike By You, which was posted by htk2626 on IG. But upon further investigation it seems like this colorway could be roaming around in the Asian market, but I could still be wrong though. Unfortunately, all I know is that this one is nowhere to be found in North America.

1. PALACE VESUVIO KNIT

Football kit inspired knits are still the talk of the town because this Palace knit did numbers on the SNL instagram, blowing all of the other items out of the water. It is what is I guess, because it doesn’t seem like the people are tired of these types of knits just yet.
