The best men's jackets for fall

Jacket
Season
Is Here

The five best
outerwear options
for fall's fluctuating
temperatures

As one of the original French chore coat makers, Vetra is still sewing their jackets the old-fashioned way.

I really like fall. And I think that's because I really like jackets. If you ask me, outerwear is the best part of fall. And of getting dressed, for that matter. Think about it. No matter what you're wearing, if you throw on a jacket, it looks better. The right jacket can make you look cooler, or more dressed up and distinguished. There's never a bad time to invest in a new jacket, but there is an optimal time. And that time is now. Sure, it might feel a little too warm still to be thinking about layering up in any real way, but now is actually the best time to ensure your size is in stock, to make sure you get the color you want and maybe even capitalize on a sale or discount code. Herewith, a few of our favorite options for the coming season.

Chore Jacket

Like a good pair of boots, a chore jacket is at once rugged and refined. Perfect for when you just need a little something extra, but don't want to go as formal as a blazer. And the more you wear it, the better it looks.

Suede

If leather is stiff and heavy and impenetrable, suede is its softer, smoother, more breathable little brother. A lightweight suede jacket is an easy layer to throw on and instantly look like a leading man.
