Shown above: Amazon Essentials Cotton Canvas Zip-Front Trucker Jacket – $26.87 – $48.90

Huckberry Made in Japan Beanie – $22.10 w/ LASTCALL15 ($30)

Via: Huckberry Extra 15% off sale items w/ LASTCALL15

Just gray on sale, but they’re a Huckberry best seller. They’re the perfect weight (not too thick, not too thin) while still keeping you warm. Blend of acrylic, wool, nylon, and spandex. Made in Japan.

Dick’s VRST Men’s Circuit Seamless 1/4 Zip Pullover – $44.99 ($68)

Via: Dick’s VRST brand (all of which ships/returns for free)

Incredible bang for the buck. The closest thing you’ll find to lululemon’s super-expensive metal vent tech half zips. And now that we’re heading towards long-sleeve workout weather, you may be in the market. Slim fit without being compression. Breathes great, anti-odor, and the zipper and collar are super nice (not wimpy or cheap feeling at all). Moves extraordinarily well. Ships/returns for free as it’s from Dick’s in-house VRST athletic brand.

Islander 22mm Brushed Solid-Link Watch Bracelet for Casio Duro Quartz – $59

Via: Island Watch

For those who already have the original Casio Quartz Diver and want a stainless steel bracelet to go on it. Sure Casio has given us the option of buying the watch with a stainless steel band on it outright, but that stock band is a bit… weird (see the review here). This aftermarket option from Island Watch gets all the things right the Casio bracelet gets wrong. It’s a brushed stainless steel, three-link style, with screw pins (yay!) and a 22mm – 18mm taper. Solid end links too. Watch itself is obviously not included. You’ll have to get that on your own.

Target x Richer Poorer Golf Polos – $30

Via: Target

Shades of the old Original Penguin Earl. Only instead of squishy sweat retaining cotton, these are a performance pique made from 92% Polyester and 8% Spandex. So perfect for swinging a club, or just chilling out and taking a swig of a brew. Does have a tonal logo on the chest pocket. If that could bother you, effort an in-store look first.

Amazon Essentials Cotton Canvas Zip-Front Trucker Jacket – $26.87 – $48.90

Via: Amazon Essentials

Truckers are great, but sometimes you don’t want to mess with the (cold) metal buttons. A zipper solves that problem. And with classic workwear having (another) resurgence, this style of jacket will look great with all sorts of t-shirt and jeans and boots (or sneakers) combos. Five colors to choose from. Price varies depending on what color/size you’re after. That’s Amazon for you. They sure do love to whip prices around.

Saphir Invulner Water/Stain Protector Shoe Spray  – $36.95

Via: Amazon

Weather’s coming. Are your shoes ready? This stuff is great. It somehow sprays on more evenly than cheaper waterproofing sprays, and it doesn’t seem to mess with the color of the shoes you’re spraying (YMMV, so always test it out on a small part of the shoe first). I’ve used it on expensive leather, cheap leather, nice plush suede, and thin cheap suede. It also dries fast and won’t leave your shoes stinking like a chemical fire.

BR Factory Merino Wool Sweaters – $43.20 – $48

Via: BRF Up to 50% off + addit. 20% off

Back and restocked for another sweater season. Probably the best sub $50 sweaters on the market. 100% merino. Lots of colors and neck styles. Can drop even further during their big 24/48 hour flash sale events.

Amazon Essentials Lightweight Water-Resistant Puffer Vest – $31.40

Via: Amazon Essentials

Eight colors with sizes ranging from XS – XXL. Basic style. Ridiculous price. A puffer vest is terrific for the “not quite summer not quite fall” season, as well as for layering under a mac or trench in late autumn. Also worth having on hand for layering under your winter coat when it turns bitter.

Wills Cotton Silk Ribbed Polo – $66.30 ($98)

Via: Huckberry Extra 15% off sale items w/ LASTCALL15

70% organic cotton, 20% recycled nylon, 10% silk. Dressy, but still looks right with jeans. Also available in a light blue.

BR Factory Chino Shorts in 7″ or 9″ inseams – $16.80 – $28

Via: BRF Up to 50% off + addit. 20% off

Last call for shorts shopping in 2026.
