Few American built companies have routinely stood the test of time than the Forest, Virginia-based leather business Moore & Giles. Ever since its inception in 1933, the creative minds behind this esteemed company have produced some of the highest quality leather goods available anywhere in the country. Though Moore & Giles started out manufacturing just the leather lining, the upper leather, and sole leather in shoes, it quickly diversified its product line by moving into producing athletic, marine, and home furnishing stock. As the decades have passed, the company has routinely stayed ahead of the leather goods pack by consistently providing its consumers with exceptional product lines and exclusive design partnerships all with that classic Moore & Giles feel.

Today, as the summer days begin to wind down, Moore & Giles is keenly focused on its upcoming fall collection that (unsurprisingly) sets the bar incredibly high in the leather goods industry. Products like a wax cloth and leather knife carrier, a soft suede eyeglasses case, and an Italian leather, nickel-plated dog collar highlight the incredibly varied upcoming arrangement. While so many leather companies offer their own take on the tried and true dog collar — or a leather glasses case, for that matter — you’ll be hard pressed to find a product manufactured with as much care and quality as what’s offered here. Moreover, these literally just scratch the surface for what Moore & Giles has planned for the coming months as nearly anyone can find something to fancy in its online store.

What makes Moore & Giles the envy of the leather goods world is perhaps best understood by simply holding one of its products in your hands. The intricate attention to detail, its use of lightly buffed top-grain hides, and the fact each product is built to last a lifetime are just a few of the reasons why Moore & Giles has maintained relevancy for so many years. With a product line as diverse as it offers, it’s astounding the company is able to maintain this high level of craftsmanship across everything it makes.

As expected of any company who’s maintained as much industry longevity as Moore & Giles, the company enjoys a wealth of representation around the globe. Aside from a workforce of roughly 70 employees at its headquarters in Forest, it’s set up a series of partnerships in foreign countries like France, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, and Singapore, among many others. Its website says its mission is to be the “leading designer and supplier of the world’s most unique and innovative leathers and accessories,” and judging by its array of superior merchandise, this mission doesn’t seem that far from being called a success.

If our gushing about its quality wasn’t enough to sway you, head on over to its website to get a full taste of what it offers; you won’t be disappointed.

What to shop in the REI Winter Sale on gear and clothing

It seems obvious, but I would recommend sitting down and either considering or figuring out what gear you and your family need this winter. Actually, sit down and figure out if there's any gear you'll need for the coming year. Some of the items on sale are usable year-round, like camping, hiking, and fitness gear. But let's provide some examples. In the REI Winter Sale, you can save up to 30% off The North Face apparel, up to 30% off outdoor electronics like Garmin, BioLite, and more, up to 25% off footwear, including boots, and up to 50% off jackets. Again, those are just some quick examples. There are a ton of other options in this sale.

John Elliott mixes tailoring and performance in fall 2024
Designer took inspiration from Italian sports cars
John Elliott coat

John Elliott is one of the fastest-rising stars in the fashion industry. While his namesake label launched in 2012 and is barely old enough to ride the rides at theme parks, it continues to take home award after award year after year. Starting in California with a love of skating culture, basketball, and clothing, Elliott found his way into the industry with the knowledge he learned from an Italian immigrant grandmother and seamstress. His first collection in 2015 F/W NY Fashion Week garnered him GQ's Designer of the Year and he has shown eight times since. After numerous awards, the brand looks to continue its success with its John Elliott fall and winter 2024 collection, taking inspiration from a place close to his roots.
Pieces inspired by legendary sports cars

The collection takes its shape from a trip to Italy, where they found themselves with an unexpected day off in Modena. While the area is known for the factories and museums of iconic Italian car brands Ferrari and Maserati, Elliott discovered his eye drawn to the blending point of tailoring and activewear worn by the engineers during a visit to one of the factories. He then took note of the interiors of the 60s and 70s era legends, the suede and leather fabrics fused with intricate stitching. The collection was born out of this inspiration and offers a custom-developed melton wool from Japan used in outerwear, a heavy moleskin found in the trucker jackets and high-rise straight-leg denim, a brushed knit with an attractive uneven skip-stitch for a luxurious texture that's unmistakably reminiscent of vintage car interiors, and a beautifully patinated leather.
