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.

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.

Devil Dog Dungarees returns in style as your new go-to denim
High quality, great fit, and durability provides possibly the last pair of jeans you'll ever need

Every man needs a good pair of jeans. And since most of us are creatures of habit, we find a brand, we find a fit, and we don't deviate from that. Once we find our comfort zone and become accustomed to a specific style, fit, and brand, it can be difficult to convince us to move. While there are dozens of denim brands to choose from, everything from the prohibitively expensive designer brands to the flash-in-the-pan "value" jeans, one brand is fighting its way to the top: Devil Dog Dungarees.

Beginning in 1948, Louis Rosenstock dubbed his products Devil Dog Dungarees because they were "Tough as Marines." Drawing on his own military service, he endeavored to build a company that reflected his ideals. His grandson, Jeff Rosenstock, now behind the wheel of Devil Dog Dungarees, told us, "In 1948, World War II had just ended, and he was feeling extremely patriotic. He wanted to launch a brand of jeans that really kind of stood for Americana, for durability, and strength."

St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland, kidnapped and brought to the island as an enslaved person at 16.
