Apolis Indigo Wool Chore Jacket
LVC 1960s Orange Tab 605 Jeans
The chore jacket is a timeless piece of work-wear that has been a men’s staple for more than 100 years. It only makes sense that a modern men’swear brand would update it, and that’s exactly what Apolis has done. With indigo-dyed wool from Italy instead of canvas, buffalo-horn buttons, and a hidden pocket (for whatever may need stashing), this is a refined take on iconic, rugged style. $298
In the late ’60s, Levi’s introduced the slimfitting Orange Tab series as a more youthful option for the younger, rock-’n’-roll generation. As faithful reproductions of the same pairs of that era, the 605s are made from 100% cotton selvage denim and have a timeless fit. $215
Filson Short Cruiser Jacket in Tin The short cruiser jacket is one of Filson’s new styles for fall—a fresh take on its classic long cruiser, based on classic trucker designs. Incorporating a leaner fit and the company’s signature tin cloth, each jacket should break in uniquely to the person wearing it through the years. $260
Chippewa Collections Fall/Winter 2013 “Original” and “Reserve” Born in Wisconsin back in 1901, Chippewa has quite the heritage. For fall, the brand is breaking out some of its timeless, original styles, all handcrafted in the USA and with the same quality that has made it an American staple. American leathers, Goodyear welt, and Vibram soles. Pick up a pair and find out why they have been in business for over 100 years. $259–269
