The New Alex Mill Collection Is Packed With Your Fall Style Essentials

When the season starts to shift ever so subtly toward fall, there are certain styles that immediately capture our attention at The Manual. And one of those brands offers up plenty of men’s essentials, which we’ve rounded up in short order. That brand is Alex Mill, a revamped outfit launched earlier in 2019, inspiration from the modern man. The Alex Mill Fall Collection is one of our favorite offerings on tap to start the new season, and these picks below offer up something for everyone, to say the very least.

Corduroy is no longer the stuffy fabric of years gone by — it’s now the type of thing you can often find in a stylish, slim-cut, endlessly versatile shirt like the one seen above. It’s perfect to wear with your favorite dark blue denim, perhaps layered over a thermal henley.

Speaking of a thermal henley, get a look at this handsome base layer from Alex Mill. It’s perfectly laid-back and wearable under everything from a Buffalo plaid chore shirt (more on that in a moment) to a herringbone blazer.

We mentioned the need to layer up with a Buffalo plaid shirt earlier and here’s the very shirt in question — rugged, ready to layer up on a fall weekend, and offered at an agreeable price. It’s perhaps the very definition of the perfect fall shirt.

We’re all well aware of the time-tested appeal of the military jacket — but what if Alex Mill found a way to improve on that? That’s what they’ve done with this take on the field jacket, a new classic in a deep navy. Wear it over a white Oxford shirt with tan chinos (preferably from Alex Mill) this season.

While it’s not surprising that New Balance’s Spring/Summer lineup would include a variety of colorways and silhouettes, it’s shocking that the collection comes with nine styles to pick from. With three different shapes, the Spring/Summer collection is made to cater to just about any New Balance fan. As part of the brand’s Made in USA line, each design was created by Aime Leon Dore’s Teddy Santis. As with the brand’s Made in UK and Made in Japan lines, the Made in USA collection is known for its construction, of which 70 percent of its domestic value is made in the United States. While the entire collection will be released in segments, each colorway and model is worth exploring.

In the first release, New Balance will reimagine their 997 and 992 models with brand-new colorways that celebrate the season. For their new 997 design, the brand has opted for a ‘Light Mushroom’ colorway, which is comprised of a brown and grey tonal mix. Unlike the other silhouettes, the 997 will have a gridded pattern on the vamp. The grey-brown tone takes over the suede uppers, while the tongue and paneling don a textured brown hue. Also seeing a soon release is the brand’s 992 design. This design has been reimagined in a ‘Moonrock’ color combination, which sees an assortment of grey shades. Composed of hairy suede, mesh, and leather uppers, the 992 silhouette rocks a neutral aesthetic. These designs will be released on March 27 and retail for $190 and $200, respectively.

The world's biggest and most prominent fashion houses tend to center around four locations: New York, Paris, London, and Milan. It is no coincidence that the primary fashion weeks occur every year in these four cities. It also shouldn't surprise you that the some brands seek out some of the best mills in the world in these regions. The Bugatchi Fall and Winter 2025 collection chose to elevate their garments with Made in Italy, an upgrade that takes their already top-tier garments to the next level.

"Italy offers an unparalleled depth of skill, marrying tradition with innovation in a way that sparks inspiration," Bugatchi Creative Director Anthony Keegan says. "Each piece we craft is not merely an item of clothing; it is a story woven with the threads of quality and expertise. We would sit in the breathtaking expanse of southern Italy, sipping a perfect espresso, continually reminded of the endless possibilities that lie before us. The response to this collection has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I have no doubt this marks the inception of a profoundly passionate relationship with Italian craftsmanship."
