Need a wardrobe upgrade heading into fall?

Look no further than the new Autumn/Winter collection from The Hill-Side, packed full of menswear essentials for the season. The oft-buzzed about brand’s influences have always been eclectic and varied, and the latest offering — inspired by the skate culture of San Francisco — ties them all up into one stylish package.

Founded in Brooklyn in 2009, the brand’s road to success has been built on the strength of its quality fabrics, its approach to classic styles done in modern ways, and its mix of Japanese and American style influences. That results in pieces like indigo denim sneakers and striped ties, all easily wearable for style situations from A-Z.

Those varied influences have led to a host of accolades and a special capsule collection with GAP last fall. Sound like a lot to take in? Rest assured, the brand’s new fall collection is accessible, easily wearable and sharp.

Among other updates, the newest offering refresh the brand’s popular Japanese-made MizuTech All-Weather High Tops. They’re as durable a fall sneaker as you’re going to find, featuring a weatherproof cotton upper, a rugged toe cap and toe guard and the ability to be paired up with everything from slim tan chinos and a classic chambray shirt to a fall blazer.

Oh, and on the apparel front, The Hill-Side’s new collection certainly delivers, too. The Astro Cargo Shirt blends nylon and polar fleece in a silhouette that’s stylish, functional and durable. Modeled after a U.S. military helicopter pilot’s jacket, it features both chest and hip pockets, reinforced elbow patches, storm cuffs and a longer cut for layering. Pair it with a henley for chilly fall mornings, or layer it atop a flannel shirt on your next weekend trip.

The brand’s outerwear merges that same sensible blend of function and fashion, especially the tweed-lined, travel-ready J-1 Letterman Jacket. With a premium melton wool body and cowhide leather sleeves, it’s the rare sport-inspired piece that you could wear with a classic Oxford and knit tie to the office.

Don’t sleep on the brand’s other offerings, either — if sturdy selvedge denim is  what you seek, The Hill-Side’s selvedge denim (in a hefty 14.5 oz. fabric) is set to release soon. In the meantime, you can grab a pair of well-crafted, durable 12.5 oz. Selvedge denim from the brand.

And if all of the above is just what you had in mind in terms of fall style, you should get your hands on as much of the brand’s latest menswear offering — as soon as possible.

Steven Kurutz and American Giant endeavor to create a flannel 100% American made
Follow American Giant to bring flannel back to the USA

What makes the flannel shirt something that stays with us here in America? Is it the quintessential garment of the American worker? Does it make us feel as though we are driving horses across the plains in the old American West? How about working the day away, clearing logs from the Pacific Northwest to supply the entire country with the lumber needed to build houses, decks, and shop fronts? Or maybe we don't have to reach back as far to imagine the flannel renaissance of the 1990s bringing us the nostalgia of our childhood imitating Kurt Cobain on stage. Either way, the flannel is a staple of Americana, and American fashion brand American Giant has spent years attempting to bring that garment back home.

What started out as an article in the New York Times blossomed into a half-decade journey for author Steven Kurutz to chronicle AG's desire to bring flannel-making back to the shores of the United States and to save factory jobs in his new book, American Flannel. As a native of a small town in Pennsylvania, Kurutz has watched his town wither away as factory jobs were shipped overseas. For him, the book was more than a story of American determination; it was a personal connection to a quest to save his own hometown and others like it.
