The North Face Gets a Face Lift from Pendleton in this New Collection

The Manual may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site.

Avid outdoor lifestyle brands The North Face and Pendleton launched their first ever collaboration on November 29. This limited edition capsule collection is teeming with outdoor protection, style, and all sorts of essentials to help you brave the colder elements this year and beyond, from mountain jackets and vests prepared for frozen temperatures to durable commuter packs, camp mules, and wool hats.

The outerwear and accessories line celebrates also shares rich heritage of outdoor adventure from each company, both in appearance and functionality. The American-made wool signatures from Pendleton, coupled with iconic silhouettes from The North Face, stands up against the cold while also adding a little spice to your winter wardrobe.

Through six generations of family-owned fabric innovation, Portland-based Pendleton crafts unique wool patterns with eco-friendly technology. The company signature is recognized and used worldwide, available in select retailers across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Australia.

Seeing that both outdoor brands reside on the West Coast (The North Face is from California), it’s somewhat surprising that this is the first time we see the two names together. Nevertheless, the capsule is a perfect blend between The North Face’s favorites styles straight and Pendleton iconic colorways.

The Nuptse Jacket ($299) is one of our standout picks in the collection. Featuring The North Face’s heat-trapping, goose-down insulation and a vintage white wool jacquard, the Nuptse jacket’s appearance is as good looking as it is warm.

Hockerty is prepping us for the weather changes with their new tech fabrics
Hockerty

Wearing a suit is about putting your best foot forward. It is about walking into a room and everyone knowing before they ever speak to you that you are the one they need. The guy for the job. The trustworthy man. The one who deserves the respect without demanding it. It is the whole purpose of dressing for success. It is the reason that your first impression is so important. So, what happens when your image is ruined by things outside your control? Do you lose the job? Is your trustworthiness in question? What happens to the respect? It is better not to find out. Prepare yourself.

So, of course you can wear an umbrella to protect you from the rain. But that doesn’t protect you from the guy spilling his coffee on you. It doesn’t protect you from the car splashing you as it drives by. Instead, you need to invest in tech fabric. The kind moisture doesn’t soak into, but rolls off. That is where Hockerty’s new collection comes in. The tech fabrics they now offer are for the guy on the move.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
