One More On – October 2023

Where has this year gone, guys? Somehow we’re in October, the month of pumpkin spice lattes, turning every coffee shop into a gingerbread-scented battleground for caffeine-hungry souls. It’s the season when your dog’s Halloween costume gets more thought and effort than your own, or when your wardrobe becomes a cornucopia of cozy sweaters and stylish scarves, and you start to wonder if the changing leaves are taking fashion cues from the latest Pantone color trends.

It feels like only yesterday that you were basking in summer splendor. Well, that’s because it was only yesterday. Climate change is real, folks. But that’s enough of my preaching. We’re here to talk about One More On and, boy, have I got some garms for you. This month, we’re taking cues from vintage Ralph, leaning fully into New England stereotypes, and embracing the divisive pumpkin spice latte. Let’s get into it.

The Real McCoy’s MC22109 U.S. Army Military Thermal Shirt in Milk

One-More-On---October-2023-The-Real-McCoy’s-MC22109-U.S.-Army-Military-Thermal-Shirt-in-Milk

The MC22109 U.S. Army Military Thermal Shirt in Milk by The Real McCoy’s encapsulates an era of authentic, no-frills fashion, making it a perfect base layer for this October fit.

Made in Japan from 100% cotton, this thermal features gusseted underarms for breathability, a semi-raw hem for a devil-may-care look, and a honeycomb thermal knit fabric that’ll keep you warm during the Fall months. This is such a “throw on and look great” piece, irrespective of whether you’re layering it under a jacket or chucking it on by itself. Thermals are worth investing in. Not only do they keep you warm, but you instantly look ten times more badass.

Sugar Cane “Add Human Labor” Ombre Plaid Heavy Flannel Hunting Jacket

One-More-On---October-2023-Sugar-Cane-Add-Human-Labor-Ombre-Plaid-Heavy-Flannel-Hunting-Jacket

No one does blackwatch tartan quite like Ralph Lauren; however, Sugar Cane has had a bloody good go at it. Introducing Sugar Cane’s Ombre Plaid Heavy Flannel Hunting Jacket, this fit’s pièce de résistance.

Made from a heavy 100% cotton, the jacket features a double front with hand-warmer and flap pockets on each side, as well as a button and zip closure for adequate wind blockage. Brown corduroy has been used for the collar, cuffs, and front placket, adding touches of sophistication to the jacket throughout. The lining has been made from a quilted nylon ripstop and there’s a pocket on the inside, too, for any bits and pieces you need to keep secure. 

The jacket comes in two colorways: green blackwatch tartan and an iconic red buffalo check-type colorway. Both are great, but the focus for this edition of One More On is the green. 

Available for $350 from Hinoya

orSlow 101 Dad Fit Selvedge Denim

One-More-On---October-2023-orSlow-101-Dad-Fit-Selvedge-Denim

If you’re familiar with orSlow, you’ll be equally familiar with its two most iconic jean styles: the regular fit “105” and the slim fit “107”. But what if I told you the Japanese brand was schooling kids with its “101 – Dad fit” denim, an homage to father figures everywhere. Daddy, chill. 

orSlow’s 101 Dad fit jeans have one thing on their mind: comfort. With a higher rise and looser fit, these pants scream, “I’m comfortable, and I know it”. Made in Japan from a respectable 14 oz. selvedge denim, these jeans are unwashed, so expect some shrinkage. The jeans feature a zip fly, high waist and a wide leg. 

The raw nature of these jeans and dark indigo hue pairs beautifully with the blackwatch tartan of the Sugar Cane jacket; a match made in heaven. 

Available for $255 from Brooklyn Tailors

L.L.Bean 6” Bean Boots

One-More-On---October-2023-L.L.Bean-6”-Bean-Boots

L.L.Bean’s “Bean” boots yo-yo between “iconic” and “meme” constantly, but right now, for this fit, they’re iconic. Join me and channel your inner-New Hampshire outdoorsman with L.L.Bean’s “Bean” boots; a boot that’s been keeping tootsies warm and dry since the early 20th century. 

You see, L.L.Bean’s iconic “Bean” boots are more than just footwear; they’re a piece of American outdoor heritage. The story of these enduring boots began in 1912 when Maine-based outdoorsman Leon Leonwood Bean set out to create a durable, waterproof boot to keep feet dry during hunting and fishing trips. L.L. Bean’s design innovation involved stitching a leather upper to a rubber sole, creating a rugged, dependable boot that could withstand the harshest weather conditions. 

By 1917, he had established the L.L.Bean company and began selling his boots through mail-order catalogs. What’s remarkable about these boots is that their design has changed very little over the years; the classic, functional style has remained virtually unchanged for over a century. Today, L.L.Bean’s “Bean” boots have become a symbol of timeless American craftsmanship and a staple for anyone who seeks durability, comfort, and style in their outdoor adventures.

The boots complement the ‘hunter-y’ theme of this fit, which is why they’re this month’s One More On footwear pick.
