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.

Doxa’s Sub 200T watch is a new, smaller version of the Classic 300 design
Doxa introduces smaller version of Sub 300
Doxa Sub 200T series

Doxa watches aren't exactly the word on the tip of anyone's tongue when they think of their favorite brands; however, they have developed their own community, and some might dub them a cult following. The brand recently unveiled its latest Doxa watch, the Sub 200T which has sent a lightning strike through the hearts of fans, as it's unmistakably more compact than the iconic 300T and 600T models. The lack of smaller options has always been a common complaint among fans of the brand, and with consumer behavior veering more and more in this direction, it's no surprise that the latest iteration is just 39mm. The iconic design of the Classic 300 has been shrunk down to something more compact, sleek, and contemporary.
The new Doxa Sub 200T has a color for every taste

On top of that, the kaleidoscope of color options available from Doxa watches will surely satisfy every taste, from those who like bright and sporty models to those who prefer something a little more classic and subdued. The dial features a sunray-finished design with a luminous sunburst effect, and it comes with two strap options: a stainless steel bracelet with a "beads of rice" design and an FKM rubber strap that comes with folding clasps and ratcheting wetsuit extensions.

Hublot Big Bang in Glacier Blue

The newest addition to the Hublot MP-11 collection is a formidable presence, measuring a whopping 45mm in diameter and 14.4mm in thickness, so you'll need some major confidence if you want to sport this beast on your wrist. The inaugural Sapphire Big Bang was introduced in 2016 and since then the brand has delighted fans with an array of color iterations, from other sapphire colors to purple and orange. Now, Glacier Blue has been introduced, just in time to keep you cool this summer (in attitude, not temperature, unfortunately.)
Hublot: The Big Bang MP-11 in Glacier Blue

This Big Bang MP-11 features a 14-day power reserve, which is achieved through seven series-coupled barrels arranged in a horizontal configuration, and all of that can be viewed by the wearer. The truly vibrant Glacier Blue (seriously, the blue is so bright you'll feel like you're about to start seeing your breath) is made with a fresh chemical composition but still shares the same properties as sapphire: luminous, and able to withstand scratches.
Technical specifications
This Hublot watch will leave you completely mesmerized for several hours before you even think about the technical specifications, though there are some exceptional details to go over. Inside this MP-11 is the HUB9011 Manufacture manual-winding skeleton power reserve movement. As we mentioned above, there are seven series-coupled barrels, but they've been arranged in a coaxial and vertical configuration so the watch is able to maintain a super slim profile of just 10.9mm. All tied together like a bow on top is the blue transparent structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp.
