New Year’s Eve is one of the events we look forward to every year. Whether you are going to Times Square, celebrating at a big watch party to see the festivities on the big screen with an open bar, or sitting at home and letting the kids stay awake until midnight for the only time of the year, it’s a big day for everyone. When you are shaking off the bad things that happened in 2024, reminiscing about the good things that took place this year, and planning what you want to accomplish in 2025, your party is a big moment, and what you wear is just as significant. If you are like us, you love dressing up in something a little louder and having a little more fun with a great cocktail look. One brand has hit the nail on the head this year for the best jacket for your NYE party. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat is the unique look that will make you the center of attention as you ring in the new year.

What makes a great sport coat for New Year’s? For us, it is something unique that stands out. The J. McLaughlin McCown Sport Coat does this by combining two of the excellent sport coat looks of the season. Paisley is a great way to stand out with your smoking jacket, dinner jacket, or unique sport coat. And corduroy is a staple in the fall and winter seasons. This sport coat combines them both with a corduroy fabric blessed with a subtle but vibrant paisley pattern. This is the best coat to ring in the new year.

Y.Chroma introduces the Swiss Army Knife of the coat world

Get all your seasonal coats in one versatile option

Y.Chroma Quatro Jacket under a coat

Having a good coat wardrobe is one of the most critical pieces of your closet. Staying warm is an extremely important function of the coat, and style is an add-on that often gets lost when men need to guard themselves from the cold. When a man embraces the importance of style, that is, when he decides to dive deep into "functional fashion" and values the warmth and the appearance of a good coat; then he has to run out and buy multiple coats for every occasion. That is where Y.Chroma feels they can make a change. The Y.Chroma Quatro Jacket is the answer to the problem of needing multiple coats. They want you to look good and stay warm in numerous occasions, all in one jacket they are calling the Swiss Army Knife of jackets.
All your jackets in one

One of the things that Max Israel, founder of Y.Chroma, does so well is he offers products that are both functional in that they fit your lifestyle in ways you didn't even know you needed and fashionable in ways that they will stand out and not be seen anywhere else in your circle of influence until they see yours and want to buy their own. We call that trendsetting, by the way. With the Quatro, it looks better than any other quilted coat on the market, but it is also convertible to numerous styles: A hoodless vest, a hooded vest, a light jacket, and a lined puffer. Finally, there is a coat you can wear that is adjustable to changing temperatures and changing social environments.

Gadgetry suitable for James Bond

The Melton coat is an iconic addition to any coat wardrobe, but it has some problems: 1 - it is light for the winter weather, so there are only a few months you can wear it. 2 - it has high dry cleaning costs due to the wool. The Ministry of Supply Mercury Heated Town Coat solves both of those issues as the wool is machine washable, and it offers a flexible and feather-light carbon nanotube panel that provides three levels of instantaneous, adjustable heat - plug in a USB-C battery, hit the power button and get back to your day.

Taylor Stitch channels their Yellowstone aura with this year’s western shirt

Emulate your favorite Dutton in a fan favorite

Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket

We don't know why, but we assume it is because we have been watching the new season of Yellowstone. Whatever the reason, we are seeing Western-style infiltrate every corner of men's style, and Taylor Stitch is doing its part. Whether you go for workwear or outerwear, there is always something for you to use functionally, along with the fashion. One of our favorite shirts is the western shirt, and there is a new one landing this season that will make Rip Wheeler envious while driving cattle. The Taylor Stitch Western Shirt Jacket is the perfect mix between function and fashion and makes you feel right at home in the bunkhouse or on the trail.
Fan favorite takes you to the Dutton Ranch

The western shirt is a fan favorite look that seems to pop up every year. But this year's iteration just seems to have a bit more of a punch to it. Maybe it is because of the Duttons, maybe not. But this year, Taylor Stitch brings out a version that looks perfect for the ranch, and is equally stylish enough for the bar and tough enough for the ropin pen. Let's just hope it never has to visit the train station.
