Flannel. You may remember it from your early childhood when you were 6 and you spent most of the colder months running around the house in your flannel pajamas. While that may be a fond memory, we hope you've outgrown your flap bottom onsie. We have.

Woolen flannel is soft, warm, long lasting and it outshines its worsted brethren in Winter (It actually has no shine at all given its physical nature). Its raised knap and felted surface allow it to trap heat next to the body and repel cold and wind. While it can be had in different weights, we prefer a hearty flannel in 11 or 12 ounces to enjoy the full benefits of the cloth. 

Solids are the norm, but a heathered chalk stripe, muted puppytooth check, or a bold windowpane are worthy options for the man who still wants to show his sartorial splendor when the temperature drops below 40 degrees.

Try our selection from Holland & Sherry, Vitale Barberis Canonico, or Drapers. You can thank us later...or now.

Dress well friends.

According to the calendar we still have a few weeks left of Summer. According to your closet, it’s time for a new season. At Sofio’s we’ve been planning our Autumn wardrobe for some time. Here we discuss some of our recommendations from footwear, to outerwear, to color for a fabulous (and stylish) Fall.

Dress well friends.

Footwear ~

Chukka boots are a fall favorite. Derived from the sport of polo (a chukka is equal to one quarter) these ankle high boots with minimal lacing and decoration are a simple choice. Try them in burgundy shell cordovan upper with a sleek and professional leather bottom or a rich chocolate suede upper with a durable and comfortable rubber Dainite bottom.

Ready-to-wear and Made–to-Order footwear from $695 available this Fall

Outerwear ~

Shoulder season is a perfect time to introduce lightweight outwear pieces. Try a bomber jacket in supple French calf leather or a smooth suede blouson to liven up your jacket rotation before the parkas and down coats come out for Winter.

Made-to-measure leather and suede outerwear from $1395 available now

Color ~

As the leaves change so should your wardrobe’s color palette. Fall calls for warmer, richer, more saturated tones. British Racing green, burgundy or camel are all masculine, refined colors that play well with in everyday wear as well as creative evening attire. Try green in a soft suede sportcoat, burgundy in a rakish evening dinner jacket, and camel in a sleek topcoat.
