Most major men’s brands offer some form of overcoat, but few can compete with the fine detailing found in Billy Reid’s Grey Tweed Sunday Coat ($895). Mixing southern gentility with Italian tailoring, the three-quarter length, English Donegal tweed coat features a wool Japanese blanketing body and pocketing lining, rich leather detailing under the collar and [...]
Ruff Wear K-9 Overcoat
Perfect Pup Protection
Just because your four-legged friend sports a coat year round, doesn’t mean they’re invincible to the cold. Knowing when your dog requires added protection depends on a variety of factors including, age, weight, fur-type, and height. Generally speaking, though, unless you own an Alaskan Malamute or a breed with “Mountain Dog” in the title — [...]
Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket
Sta-Puft
Light is good. Light, warm and water-repellent are just that much better, especially when it comes to outerwear. No doubt this fall will bring the kind of weather where you want to be prepared yet mobile and versatile. The new Patagonia Ultralight Down Jacket ($279) will allow you to do just that with its lightweight [...]
Gant Rugger Hiker Jacket
Hiking? Doubt it. Style? Absolutely
Good jackets are generally one of two breeds: down-filled marshmallow parkas or lightweight cover-ups for a beach barbecue. Rarely does a man cross paths with a perfect autumn jacket that strikes a balance between the two. The Hiker Jacket from Gant Rugger ($285) is quite possibly the best such garment we have ever seen. Not [...]
Denham LONGSHORE D.G.L Jacket
A New Spin on Military Surplus
In the realm of jacket brands vying for your dollars, of which there are plenty, few have such depth of heritage and origin as the Denham LONGSHORE D.G.L Jacket ($780). What makes it utterly unique is that the entire jacket is re-cut from Dutch army blankets and ponchos. The ponchos obviously provide the jacket with [...]
Hlaska Surly Navigator Blazer
Bolstered Blazer
A perpetual conundrum facing stylish men is the ability to look good without seeming dressed-up. While there are many techniques to walking this fine line, owning fashionable and purposeful outerwear that looks great without appearing like you just came from the office can help tremendously. Hlaska’s Surly Navigator blazer/jacket ($375) is a great example that [...]
Jack Spade Neptune Trench
Look Good, Stay Dry(er)
GORE-TEX and its analogous water-proof brand-specific variants can be a life saver for camping or just getting to work in a down pour. The downside is that most jackets made using this material look better suited for Everest than the office. Trench coats have been a staple of men’s fashion for decades because they provide [...]

Cloth Logic
Diversify Your Winter Wardrobe Men, here’s a quick fashion tip that blows by many. When the weather turns cold, your outerwear is the most visible and memorable part of your attire.

Banana Republic BR Monogram Four-Pocket Trenchcoat
We’ve seen a few products come out under the Banana Republic BR Monogram label and frankly haven’t been entirely impressed by a lot of them, but with Spring coming we think the folks at Banana have put together some decent gear, specifically this BR Monogram Trenchcoat. It’s a four-pocket trench that’s cut with a slimmer [...]
Diesel Pea Coat
The mark of a good coat is the ability for it to work with a bunch of your getups rather than being single purpose outerwear. We cover a good number of men’s fashion items here on Gear Patrol and we understand clothing is subjective, but we think you’re likely to find this coat well worth [...]
