The Great (American) Outdoors: Men's Fashion Finds to Gift this Winter

Visvim
In the hands of Visvim designer and founder Hiroki Nakamura, American menswear staples such as the chukka boot, flat-front-khakis, and shirt-jacket have been blown up and, here, literally pieced back together, using a traditional bandana print.
Visvim kerchief down jacket, $2,400; visvim.tv.

Red Wing
Heritage brand Red Wing recently opened a pop-up shop in New York City, where fans of the brand’s hiking-city boot hybrid can find the 6-inch Roughneck style.
Red Wing 'Roughneck' boot, $269; redwingheritage.com.

John Elliott
With a wider leg and a lived in vibe, John Elliott co-opts the look (and feel) of a beloved pair of 501s, with a lower waist and a cropped hem.
John Elliott distressed denim jeans, $400; mrporter.com.

Brunello Cucinelli
Specializing in both luxurious materials and absolute comfort, Brunello Cucinelli washed-denim Western shirt has the requisite yoke, snap buttons, and lived-in finish, but with a tailored fit.
Brunello Cucinelli washed-denim Western shirt, $725; mrporter.com.

Ermenegildo Zegna
A touch of Buffalo plaid wool is a holiday (and weekend in the country) staple. Ermenegildo Zegna mutes the palette and adds some cashmere.
Ermenegildo Zegna red wool and silk scarf, $255; zegna.us.

Sacai
Chitose Abe designed for Comme des Garçons and Junya Watanabe for eight years before starting her own namesake brand, so she knows how to twist a classic. From Sacai’s winter capsule collection comes the original athleisure classic, the gray hoodie, this time with an extra zipper.
Sacai gray hoodie, $510; available in store at the Bergdorf Goodman men’s store, Goodman’s; similar styles available at farfetch.com.

Filson
American luggage brand Filson adds a cargo pocket and a strap of its signature espresso brown calf leather to a slimmed down and (thanks to the expandable closure) extremely stuffable rucksack.
Filson roll top backpack, $475; filson.com.

Calvin Klein x Pendleton
New Calvin Klein creative director Raf Simons has revisited American art and design icons since he took over the New York City house, including Andy Warhol and the namesake Klein. Now it’s heritage blanket company Pendleton’s turn.
Calvin Klein x Pendleton wool saddle blanket, $285; calvinklein.us.

Michael Kors
The classic ivory cable knit turtleneck gets an update with a sportier, skiwear fit, fine, lighter-weight wool, and longer sleeves made for layering.
Michael Kors roll neck sweater, $298; michaelkors.com.

Tom Ford
Top Gun frame, tortoise finish—Tom Ford’s twist on the classic aviator style.
Tom Ford “Carlo” sunglasses, $395; tomford.com.

Louis Vuitton
The parka gets a major upgrade in the hands of Louis Vuitton men’s designer Kim Jones: double faced shearling mixed with over-dyed navy calfskin.
Louis Vuitton shearling “Aviator” parka, $7,600; louisvuitton.com.

Bottega Veneta
Bottega Veneta’s signature intrecciato weave is replicated in a cashmere knit for an Italian take on the winter beanie.
Bottega Veneta "Amaranth" wool hat, $390; bottegaveneta.com.

Salvatore Ferragamo
First guys needed so-called dop kits, for their shaving gear. Today they need cord kits, for all the chargers, adapters, and portable global Wi-Fi hot spots. Ferragamo found a way to make an understated gear kit that packs well or can be carried on its own.
Salvatore Ferragamo clutch bag, $795, ferragamo.com.

Ghurka
American leather-goods house Ghurka was founded on the idea of luxury camping and this duffel is definitely ready for some outdoor fun. It’s even winterized. The leather has been coated in rubber for the most durable of weekend carry-alls.
Ghurka “Grove” duffel, $1,395; ghurka.com.
