In most parts of the country, fall weather can vary widely even in the course of a day—snow isn’t unheard of, and neither is a streak of blazing sun. That unpredictability makes outerwear all the more important. A just-right layer can be a game-changer, and to help you get set with yours for the season, we asked fashion pros for the picks they count on most. These are the jackets you’ll want in your closet.

Rugged yet refined zip-up

TOM BECKBE Classic Camo Tensaw Jacket

$495 AT TOM BECKBE

Lightweight and resistant to water, waxed canvas is the practical fabric behind this stylish jacket, which Parrott purchased in a military-inspired print. (“Camo is my black,” he says of the neutral pattern.) Gussets at the underarm enable more movement than a standard zip-up, and a vertical-zip pocket at the center of the chest offers easy access to essentials like a phone or wallet.

Our latest collaboration with the Van Winkles dates back over seven years. In the fall of 2017, Tom Beckbe founder Radcliff Menge was less than six months out from leaving his full-time law practice when he connected with the Van Winkle sisters and created an idea for an exclusive, limited edition Tensaw Jacket in a now very collectable “stave brown” color. Individually numbered and signed by Julian Van Winkle III, a true visionary in the bourbon industry, those 100 jackets now trade at a heavy premium in the secondary market.

We’re delighted to renew the collaboration this fall and even more excited to offer the women’s Blakeley Jacket in the same colorway, which only seemed fitting for a collaboration with three amazing sisters.
