Aimé Leon Dore makes cool clothes that have a timeless quality to them. They're stylish but also understated. Case in point: These chinos from the fall collection that dropped over the weekend. They come in five colorways and all the little details have been sweated over—from the relaxed, tailored fit to the front slash pockets featuring a small compartment with tonal button closure.

How do you improve on a classic? You make them even more comfortable. SeaVees is known for their easygoing sneakers, and they put all that know-how into their first casual shoes: a pair of chukkas and lace-up bucks.The collection was inspired by the G.I. military-issued chinos commonly seen on campus in the sixties. Nicknamed "sun-tans," they were typically only available in khaki or shades of beige. The responsibly-sourced kicks are made from Leather Working Group certified suede and a completely recycled rubber outsole with SeaVees' signature cushy foam footbed for all-day comfort.

This is a piece that could work in all sorts of situations. It's a simple side table or a durable plant stand. It's a stool that could work as accent seating. Double it up for a small scale coffee table. Natural teak root is shaped, sanded and finished by hand for a table that feels both rustic and modern. It's a piece you could have for a while—which is good because it's not exactly light.

We’d call these some Grade-A leaf kickers. Hand-sewn with the finest craftsmanship utilizing Native American shoe-making techniques, these iconic outdoor mocs from Sebago are finished with a lightweight EVA sole for comfort and shock absorption. Details like rawhide laces finish off the look and give them a particularly “autumnal” vibe.
