Fall gear is flowing so fast it’s easy to let the heat slip through the cracks. Luckily I’m here to give you the best selects that released this week.
NYFW is in full swing. I’ve been quietly staying put at the HQ in Montreal as I prepare for a month long trip to Japan in the coming weeks — October’s content will most likely be all about Japan: we’re going to dive into speciality shopping, discover new brands, and other side quests that I’m excited to take you on. More on that later.
Until then, let’s talk about this week’s new releases, and gear on my wishlist.
In today’s letter:
Palmes taps into Converse to bring back the Jack Purcell
Knitwear that will have your co-workers jealous
New outerwear from one of my favorite Korean brands
A great FW26 collection from a brand that I’m trying to gatekeep
and more!
PALMES + CONVERSE
Copenhagen-based tennis label, Palmes, is linking up with Converse to bring back the Jack Purcell, and I couldn’t be more excited.
The new Jack Purcell PDM is the combination of 90 years worth of design that’s been reimagined through the current style lens of 2026.
I think the shoe is going to go quick because not only are they only $110, but it’s just good timeless design that is perfect for everyday life. More and more people are opting into design that feels comfortable, good, and easy to execute with the rest of your wardrobe, and I think these joints fit into that description.
Palmes is operated by a small group of great people that I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know on my trips to Paris and Copenhagen. So, seeing their ideas come to life through their collections or this massive Converse collab just leaves me extremely excited and happy for everyone at the brand!
The Palmes + Jack Purcell PDM is dropping on September 14th, 2026 on the Palmes website.
NEW OUTERWEAR FROM EASTLOGUE
Fans of military-inspired/reproduction outerwear, this one’s for you! Eastlogue just dropped a bunch of new gear from their newest Fall/Winter collection, and I don’t really know where to start.
Everything is a hit.
The Alpine Fleece has to be my favorite, although I am feeling the Caravan Half Zip that looks way better on body and also comes in black!
Eastlogue is a brand for serious fashion nerds who enjoy purchasing gear for life. They aim to provide quality, and they do so at various price points — yes, they have expensive leather outerwear, but they also have great knits at solid prices.
Best of both worlds.
Plus, you’ll never run into anyone rocking Eastlogue, and if you do, then you’re both in the know.
Check out the full Eastlogue collection directly on their website here.
A BRAND THAT HAS IT ALL
You know when you find something so good that you lowkey don’t even want to share it with anyone? But you deserve to know, and that’s one of the great payoffs of being a subscriber to one of the best menswear newsletters on the planet — getting exclusive info before anybody else.
I’ve been following this one brand that just dropped their new FW26 collection, and it has so much good stuff it be criminal not to tell you about it. They use natural fibers across all of their garments, and they price their gear like it’s 2020.
Oh, they’re also having an up to 50% off sale on past season items that I would highly recommend you take a look at.
