Madewell Men’s Fall Collection Has All Your New Favorites

When we zero in on a brand we love, we tend to really, really dial things in. And when it comes to the best clothing brands for men, there’s never enough research (and wish list-crafting) to be done. That’s certainly the case when it comes to Madewell Men’s, the menswear-focused offshoot of the wildly popular Madewell women’s line. Madewell Men’s recently launched its first-ever fall collection, blessing us with rugged and refined picks aplenty. We’ve been fans of the brand’s slim denim and stylish sneakers, and this entirely new seasonal offering is no different — think of our favorite picks below as upgrades from the already-excellent line of brand basics.

If you thought you had enough flannel shirts, think again. This richly crafted Madewell Men’s flannel takes the traditional windowpane pattern and explodes it into an oversized design in Golden Pecan plaid. In short, this is the perfect flannel to wear either on its own, layered underneath a navy herringbone blazer, or atop your favorite henley.

If there’s one thing you can count on from the new Madewell Men’s fall offering, it’s that the brand’s denim will be high quality. Take these garment-dyed slim jeans in a fall-friendly color, for example. The slim fit is impeccable, and the midweight cotton-stretch blend means these will do well on the road or at the office.

If your initial inclination is that you could put together one heck of a stylish outfit with only gear from Madewell Men’s, well, you’d be exactly right. Madewell basics are hard to top, especially when they’re as well-made as this laidback, effortlessly cool garment-dyed long-sleeve tee.

Madewell Men’s Fitted Beanie

Even when it comes to the best men’s winter accessories, Madewell Men’s has you all sorted out. This fitted beanie is both on-trend and functional, and the Ashen Sand color should play nicely off essentials like garment-dyed tees and jeans (as seen above, as luck would have it!).

Last but not least: Even the smallest possible style details shouldn’t be left to chance. That’s why it’s worth investing in the kind quality socks you can wear all fall and winter with your favorite boots (and again, Madewell Men’s has you covered from head-to-toe).

Champion and Harley Davidson make moto style comfortable in new collection
Ride a Harley like a Champion
champion x harley davidson group

There is nothing cooler than sitting on the back of a Harley Davidson and cruising along one of the best motorcycle road trips in the country. There is nothing more comfortable than lounging in a set of Champion sweats and watching Netflix. But what if you can be doing both at the same time? Of course, we don't mean watching Netflix in sweats while you're riding a Harley. We mean a collaboration between the iconic sportswear company Champion and the legendary motorcycle company Harley Davidson.

"This collaboration captures the best of both worlds, blending Harley’s rebellious spirit with Champion’s athleticwear heritage. It’s a collection built for those who live boldly—whether on the open road or the city streets," said Erica Bullard, Senior Vice President of Harley-Davidson.

The modern photographer has a new jacket from Leica and AETHER made just for them
Meet the jacket behind the lens
AETHER x Leica Reporter Jacket

Have you ever seen a photo in National Geographic, in a movie, on a website, or on Instagram that completely blew you away? Maybe it was a close-up of a wild animal. Or a shot from a war-torn village. Perhaps it was in the middle of an expansive landscape, the top of a mountain, or from a boat in the middle of an ocean. The point is that someone was there to press the button. Photographers go to some of the planet's most dangerous and remote locations to capture the world for us through a lens. AETHER Apparel is a clothing company built on getting you to those locations with the right coat to keep you warm and dry. Now, they have paired with Leica to bring you The Reporter Jacket, the new companion for photographers willing to go anywhere for the right shot.
“This jacket is the result of countless design discussions starting with Steffen Keil at Leica AG, AETHER’s purpose-driven approach to outerwear, field testing, and guidance from an incredible roster of photographers,” says AETHER co-founder Jonah Smith, who also provided input on the design from his own experience as a photographer. “We’re proud to have designed a jacket that perfectly balances the practical features that a photographer needs with the refined silhouette that they want. For me personally, this project is a dream come true, as I’ve been using Leica cameras for 25 years.”
