Bugatchi teaches us the art of layering with their Fall and Winter drop: Momentum

Soft structured wool blazers over garments tailored for movement; Bugatchi presents the Italian Daydream

Face, Head, Person

There are a lot of benefits to my gig. As a style and travel writer, I get a lot of brands that want to work with me. They say, “try this out,” and “can we convince you that we’re the best?” It is a tough job of putting on the best clothing and going to the best places just so I can experience them and report back to you so you can make an informed decision. I, and all my friends here at The Manual, selflessly indulge in the best of the best of the man’s world. Bugatchi is one brand that I have been a fan of for a long time. They redefined the dress shirt with their OoohCotton and, if you haven’t tried it, then we should talk, because I am sure we can and should replace your entire closet.

But they don’t just do dress shirts. They can tackle most of your closet, and they just released the Bugatchi Fall & Winter Lookbook: Momentum. The most striking part of this lookbook is the way it lends to layering, the perfect fall wardrobe must.

Italian daydream

The autumn weather is unpredictable, which means you feel like you have to dress for every temperature every single morning. Bugatchi knows this, clearly, as almost all of the looks start with a baselayer, a mid-layer, and then a jacket or blazer over the top. While this may be a functional aspect of the fall, it also has an incredible style use as it allows you to play with colors, fabrics, and depth in ways that elevate your style every day. Everything from contrasted blues and taupes to monochromatic reds and grays, your fall wardrobe is deeper and more attractive with a simple method of styling high-quality pieces from Bugatchi.

Why is it called Momentum? Because, just like OoohCotton, everything in the collection is not only built for style, but designed to move. Movement and momentum to get from one season to the next, seamlessly. Some standout pieces you should look to add to your closet:

The 5 watches to help celebrate with your former soldier: Happy Veterans Day
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

I always wake up on Veterans Day with thoughts of the men and women I served with right after 9/11. While I had my favorites, the ones I connected with due to standing at a gate for 18 hours checking IDs, patrolling the base for drunks and, sometimes, more serious crimes, and sleeping on the ground on field training exercises, every one of them stays with me. Brave, generous, and ready to give anything they are asked of, these people deserve to be remembered on Veterans Day. That is why I immediately thought of my favorite military-inspired watches. A reminder of the times I spent with them: both chasing drunks and being one of the drunks. If you feel inclined to get a start on holiday shopping for that brave veteran in your life, here are the watches that will make them think fondly of their time in the service.

A watch is a tool, but it’s also a symbol — a symbol of precision, responsibility, and the weight of time. – 18th-century English watchmaker and inventor

Jeans, Pants, Man

When you’re down to the last of a fabric nobody can make anymore, you’d better make it count. That’s exactly what Wrangler and Nashville denim brand imogene + willie have done for Capsule No. 3, the third and final drop of their made-in-the-USA collaboration.

The capsule brings back a handful of silhouettes from earlier in the collab, each sewn from one of four deadstock fabrics produced by Cone Mills’ White Oak plant in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Coat, Wool, Lining

Seattle is a city that calls for a little bit more than a light umbrella, so it makes sense that two of its best-known clothing brands keep teaming up on raincoats.

Freeman and Filson, both based in the city, just released the Filson x Freeman Mackinaw Wool Lined Raincoat, the latest version of a collaboration the two started in 2023.
