What better way to welcome football season than with coasters made from real football leather? These things are durable, stylish, and quite cool — a definite upgrade over whatever coasters you might have had on hand previously. Plus, they’ll work for either pro or college games. Not bad, yeah? Oh, and the rest of the the gear you can snag from Owen & Fred is just as essential.

Who doesn’t love a great menswear style upgrade? Supporting your team can be great, but wearing an athletic logo cap isn’t for everybody. And if you want to stand out subtly but stylishly, this refined ballcap is a nice way to do so. Consider it the grown-up replacement for your beloved college ballcap — unless you just can’t part with that one?

The days of drinking cheap beer at your tailgate are over — or at least, they should  be. The Growler Werks 64oz. uKeg is made from stainless steel and stores up to a half-gallon of beer — that’s a lot of home brew. It’s double-walled, vacuum-insulated and even features the option to change out the tap handles. Not a bad deal for under $150.

While things like stylish coasters and a great hat are nice to bring to your tailgate, your food selection is really what it’s all about. Add a heck of a kick and a whole lot of flavor to dishes with a neat, delicious version of (nearly) everyone’s favorite hot sauce. The fact that you can pick it up alongside some durable Huckberry chukka sneakers is just an added bonus.

A durable, sharp and stylish casual watch is practically an essential you should have on you at all times. And luckily for us watch lovers, the Huckberry Combat B33 GMT is tough enough to stand up to manning the grill at your tailgate, and refined enough to look a lot better than other watches at the ballgame. No need to worry about spilling on this guy — the gunmetal PVD coating and durable 43mm stainless steel case can take it.

L.L. Bean brings their Japanese selections stateside for the first time
A thirty-three year collection finally arrives in the United States
L.L. Bean Collection Japan Studio Outdoor

L.L. Bean has been a go-to for all those who love to shed the comforts of the indoor world and head out into the wild unknown to experience the great outdoors for over a century. Of course, in that time, they have grown beyond a simple wilderness outfitter in Maine to become one of the biggest brands in the country, supplying everything from outerwear and fishing gear to camping and workwear. In 1992, an influx of Japanese shoppers made their way to the Maine home of L.L. Bean in search of their coveted styles and took them back to their home country. That sparked an expansion to the far east, where they established the brand's first store outside the state. Now, after thirty-two years, the L.L. Bean Japanese Collection returned to the States for the first time in pop-ups located in both New York City and Los Angeles.

Caterpillar celebrates a century of building the world with CAT Centennial collection
CAT Apparel has been the go-to for the hardest working people for 100 years, now they celebrate it
CAT Centennial navy tee

Men have been building the world since the industrialized society took hold and grew to encompass empires. Everything from the pyramids to skyscrapers is the product of ingenuity and grit, all on the backs of the hardest-working men in the world. Since 1925, they have been one of the leading manufacturers of heavy equipment across the globe. From defense work and engines in World War II to building every major city in America, they are a name every engineer and construction company trusts. Because of that, the name expanded to workwear, becoming one of the first names you see on the men and women actually building the structures we use every single day. To celebrate the 100th anniversary, the brand launched the Caterpillar Centennial Collection, a number of items including graphic tees and articles inspired by the very machines that inspired them. Whether you follow the trends and want to embrace the workwear aesthetic or you are a fan of the brand, these are the perfect fit.

Wax London believes polos shouldn’t be boring
Get creative with your polos with Wax London
Wax London polo black floral

The men's polo is one of the staple shirts every man needs. It is something that has endured since the days of LaCoste wearing them on the tennis courts. Nowadays, it is the paramount piece for any man looking to wear a basic business casual wardrobe. Of course, that doesn't mean it has to be basic. Most men tend to opt for a solid golf polo and a pair of basic chinos, paired with a hybrid dress shoe. While that has led the polo down a path to gaining a dad shirt image, that doesn't mean it needs to stay there. Wax London is one of the leaders in making everyone, from celebrities to dads, look stylish, and they don't think a polo needs to be boring or basic. Instead, Wax London polos this season emphasize patterns, standing out, and being seen as a celebrity, even if you're just a dad.
