Save this story Save Story Save this story No contest, fall is the best season. For a few glorious months, it’s an open bar for dressing and getting your biggest fits off. Tell me what other season lets you go from flannel with cords to a hoodie with shorts to a puffer and jeans all in the same week. You can mix a wild cocktail of textures and colors, play recklessly with silhouettes and experiment to your heart’s content—and your wallet’s demise. But no doubt the best part of dressing for the best season is the outerwear.
And right now, the shelves are stocked with sick pieces, which means my tabs are so more packed than a Tokyo train during rush hour. From dramatic overcoats to slick truckers, artisanal macs and swishy windbreakers, the menswear gods are really smiling upon us right now. But why gab about how great this season’s roster of jackets and coats are when I can just show you? Here are the 21 coolest pieces of outerwear out right now.

Little Red Riding Hood was a menswear icon.

I didn't know you could wax corduroy. Now I do. And now I want it.
Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Niceness
After decades of wearing clothes, I'm pretty convinced that reversible jackets are bad. Leave it to Niceness to be the very sick outlier.

This isn't totally my style but I'll figure out a way to make it work because it's just too cool to pass up.

Our Legacy just seems to be getting better and better.

I'm obsessed with Nosapluna, the mysterious and methodical design collective producing antique-inspired designs using artisanal and age-old techniques. Like, who needs Gore-tex when you have this?

Imagine this with a hoodie underneath and crazy faded baggy jeans. Pretty good.
Hoodies aren't normally categorized as outerwear. But then again, hoodies aren't normally as heavy as this, nor are they hand-knit by indigenous craftspeople. So, yeah.

Experiences are great. But if I have to choose between paying to fly to Montana or paying to LARP Montana, I'm going with this RRL jacket every time.
I did a review of Gap's heavy denim Type II jacket a while back and got accused of sponsored content. I meant that shit. And I mean this too: this is a pretty decent jacket that looks good and is reasonably priced.

It appears that the Dries team is doing just fine without Dries.

Boston-based indie label Mark the Tailor has the streets talking thanks to its balance of craftsmanship and a modern lens on tailoring. This playful flip on the humble quarter zip is just one of the things that has menswear fans buzzing.

Enough pockets for a 6-pack of Labatt Blue.

I'll be the first to say the pullover jackets are, on the whole, stupid. But there are always notable exceptions, like this sweet one from A Kind of Guise.

Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Studio D'Artisan x Self Edge
You could pay for top dollar for an authentic, vintage thrashed French chore coat. Or you could pay top dollar for a new, equally nice, hand-stitched French chore coat made specifically for the Self Edge 20th anniversary. The choice is yours.
Save to wishlist Save to wishlist Buck Mason
Vintage heads will recognize this Buck piece as a retro revival of '30s jackets with its cropped silhouette, chain-zip chest pocket, and waist adjusters. The only thing it's missing is that vintage '30s aroma.

If the Chunnel were a garment, it would be this collaborative coat between A.P.C. and Barbour.
