Palladium Baggy Leather Boots
Palladium boots, originally designed and manufactured for the French Foreign Legion, circa 1947 (nod to Sinatra), are like many vintage military products these days. That is to say, in fashion. The Palladium Baggy boots are a not-too-pricey boot option for casual wearers, and in this case, the Baggy Leather boots can be worn in one of two ways: with the leather upper extended fully as we have in our photo above, or folded down for a slightly lower hi-rise boot. They’re incredibly comfortable and wear in nicely after just a month’s use. Palladium’s brand relaunch this past Fall arrived with an infusion of updated colorways (black, saddle brown, chinchilla, and walnut), materials, and all boots utilizing a rubber toe-cap and ruggedized outer sole. $120 at Palladium.

Frye Dakota Mid Lace Boot
Known for their durable, classic boots, the Dakota Mid Lace is a classic style anyone should consider owning. Taller than a chukka and secure around the ankle, whether you by them for fashion or day hikes with friends, these boots are built for walking just about anywhere. Great with jeans or chinos, their Americana appeal is legendary and if taken proper care of, can last long enough to pass down to your kids. So keep that in mind as you balk at their $170 price. Available at Frye Co.

Fjallraven Rivoli Sweater
Building up a solid repertoire of sweaters to replace your trusted collegiate hoodie collection (at least for M-F) is a goal that all guys should aspire to. Some of us are farther along than others on this sartorial quest, but if you’re like me and still looking, I’ve got a recommendation for you: Fjallraven’s Rivoli Sweater. I’m jonesing to test one against the mighty New England winter. Available on Fjallraven’s recently launched US website, the Rivoli Sweater is a unique take on the cardigan. Channeling the shocking timely style of Fred Rogers, it eschews the normal low cut button up look in favor of a two-way zippered front and high collar. The combo works well and begs for some layering; we picture a slim OCBD with a dark knit tie under it. Throw in the fact that its a rib knit made from lambswool and you’ve got a versatile, rugged ally in the fight against winter for years to come. Fjallraven suggests the Rivoli as an excellent layer under one of their G-1000 jackets, and I can’t disagree with their logic. $225 at Fjallraven.
