“My standard wind breaker I’ve had for years is now both too big and starting to show wear. I’m looking into something for fall but, as previously mentioned, not into the trench coat thing you’ve mentioned a couple times on your blog. Just wondering your thoughts on the above. I’d go black rather than grey. Thanks, Your avid reader, –E.”
E–thanks for reading! We really like the cardigan (you should definitely buy it in either gray or black, nice find)…but this is an indoor sweater–it won’t hold out the cold and perhaps rain like your windbreaker did. I get that a trenchcoat isn’t your style–especially since you often bike to work. SOOOOOOOOO, how about something like one of these that will be a little more weatherproof and long-lasting than the sweater but not as formal as a trenchcoat all under $100:

OK, so you might not have the fancy feet that Usher does, but you can dress like him and stand in the corner looking mysterious instead. OR, actually get out there and freaking dance. In any case, here’s an affordable way to do either the next time you’re out on the town:

Esquire Magazine demands every man get a tweed jacket this Fall. Good luck finding a nice tweed jacket under $200 right now (the “affordable” option in the article was $348!). BUT there’s hope for you! I found a beautiful tweed jacket at Goodwill this weekend for $10! Great color, great lining, great fit, and elbow patches that probably did some old man real good. So, before you shell out a ton of cash in a retail store, stop by your local Goodwill or resale shop and make any necessary adjustments with your tailor. Tweed often gets better with age anyway…like a good brandy (but with elbow patches).
If you must buy new, here’s a unique option at the bottom of the tweed money chart:

The jacket I found @ Goodwill:
“$150 is a great deal for a coat – I’ll have to check out Topman for that. I prefer the darker colored trenches since tan is such a bold color. Works well in California or in the spring but for the fall I love a dark brown / dark grey / dark navy trench instead.”
Thanks JP for reading (We love Topman and they usually have free shipping on everything too)! If you are looking for a darker color in a trechcoat or jacket instead of the tan we had previously posted about, try some of these affordable options:

The Switch, starring the always tabloided Jennifer Aniston and always awkwardly adorable Jason Bateman, is coming in with mixed reviews all over the media front. Mostly this movie reminded us that Fall is coming up and that every respectable man should have a seasonally appropriate overcoat (oh yeah, and to not get involved with a mommy-crazed hot chick). Remember that a fall jacket is something that you could consider spending slightly more on than your everyday shirt–you will probably wear it several times a week or more and could likely own it for several years (hopefully more if you pick a look that doesn’t scream, “look at me, I am a jacket from the Fall 2010 Collection, oooohhhh, ahhhhh–eg, pick something classic and unique). Here’s a favorite at a reasonable cost:

Details Magazine, per usual, posted some nice Fall insights. Here’s one, and how to get it for less:
