This Is Fall: Good Things From Across The Pond

 Some of my favorite Fall items happen to be English-made:




A note about the Bosmere wax jacket above: Pictured is my wife's jacket but after seeing her use it for the last few years I've decided to order one for myself. I keep seeing "wax jacket roundups" (most recently over at A Trip Down South) but I have yet to see anyone mention these. Made with gardeners and equestrians in mind these jackets are really inexpensive (you won't believe it), warm, and great-looking. The "poor man's Barbour?" Perhaps, but at the price I just paid it's a no-brainer. If you are interested in these, leave a comment and I'll email you with details.

Inspired Goods: Archival Clothing Rucksack

Archival Clothing recently set about the task of improving the classic rucksack and if the below pictures are any indication I think they've done it.  I've been following the process for a bit (actually, the musette bags they introduced earlier this year, though a bit "pursey" for me, are what stopped my hunt for a used Filson bag because I knew they would eventually do something like the waxed rucksack) and they have officially released the finished product on a limited basis. Check them out here or just email info@archivalclothing.com to reserve yours before they're all gone.  (I'm probably going to miss this run so I hope they produce more...)
