From Rapha comes the return of the Tailored Jacket. Made in collaboration with British tailor Timothy Everest, we hope to actually grab one of these this time around. For all the corporate blokes that wear a suit to work on the daily and cycle to the office — imagine actually being able to wear your jacket rather than tying it to the front. The Tailored Jacket from Rapha looks to solve this with the use of a technical fabric that is 100% wool and repels water and dirt. Other technical details include an action back, a storm collar and front hems that can be buttoned away from the legs when riding.

This wool-blend cardigan from Henrik Vibskov is a winner in my book. It’ll add a few layers when it really begins to get brisk and the detailing can’t be ignored. The color is must-have for the fall and for anyone wondering it’s officially called a “ginger” finish. Looks like a Starbucks cinnamon to me. Just sayin’.

Fjällräven‘s Greenland parka is by far one of our favorite outerwear jackets this year. We know many parts of the country were in the 70s yesterday, but that cold weather’s coming. I can feel it. The Greenland’s long, fitted and quilted and comes with plenty of pockets for the man looking for some utility out of his jacket. The hood’s roomy and fully lined also, so what else do you need? That’s right.

From the David Beckham for adidas Originals by Originals Collection (ObyO), which is designed by James Bond, comes the Hooded Down Vest. It’s filled with real down feathers and made of Scottish premium Harris Tweed wool. On the inside, you can see the lining’s made from coloured satin which maintains the luxe-level appeal. It’s all topped off with the Harris Tweed logo on the inside for the much-welcomed stamp of approval.
We’d tell you to add this to your Christmas list but there’s a good chance it’ll sell out before then.

Freeman’s Sporting Club will be launching their collection of heavy-duty knitwear soon, which includes these home-grown cardigans. Woven and entirely made right here in Manhattan, these chunky shawl-collared cardigans exemplify the old-world craftsmanship for which FSC stands. Knitted from genuine Scottish Shetland, the wool cardigans feature side pockets, zipper closure and a construction that’s sure to pass the test of time.
While searching for a local manufacturer to link up with for these amazing pieces, FSC came across Stoll America, a once-German company which opened back in 1982 to promote the sale and service of Stoll Knitting Equipment in North America. In addition to selling knitting machines, they produce samples for large designer brands but do not do production runs for anyone, with the exception of Freemans Sporting Club. Their facility is also unique because they offer training classes in both pattern making and knitting and are considered the go-to knitwear resource in the US.
Look for these cardigans to hit Freeman’s Sporting Club in-store as well as online in the coming weeks for $358.
