Winter time in the city is not like any other type of winter there is. Instead of snow, there’s slush, and it’s filthy. Instead of snowflakes on the road, there are layers of sodium chloride. In the city, the beauty of winter weather lasts until the first car passes through. We got the guys in the office together and rounded up some of our staff selections to armor you through the nastiest of winters while still maintaining style.
So, let’s start from the ground up…
1. Anonymous Ism Slub Crew Sock ($22)
Why: Because you need socks in the winter, period. Your toes and your girlfriend will thank you.
2. Yuketen Maine Guide Boot ($396.99)
Why: Because the 7.5″ 100% American-sourced naked leather shaft keeps the elements out and the Vibram Christy sole keeps you from busting your butt. They’re hand stitched and made in the USA. They’re also on sale right now, act fast.
3. Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot ($340)
Why: Because this is the boot you can wear out to dinner while enjoying your dessert without wet feet. Made with high quality Horween Chromexcel leather and waxed laces in the USA.
4. BILLYKIRK Center Bar Belt ($110)
Why: Because the last thing you want to happen when walking through the snow is to have your pants fall down. It also doubles as a fierce weapon against neighborhood kids with snowballs when removed. 100% leather, made in the USA.
5. Corter Leather Co. Bottle Hook in White ($36.50)
Why: Because the last thing you want to be doing when you can’t feel your fingers is searching for your keys. It’s white because the snow is anything but that in the city. Also, cold beer still tastes good even when it’s cold out.
6. Sunspel Long Thermal Pant ($85)
Why: Because these form-fitting, extra warm thermal long johns are double stitched and wick moister away from your body. They also fit great under a pair of jeans.
7. The Hill-Side Chenille Knit Scarf ($125)
Why: Because there is no excuse not to wear a scarf when it’s cold out. This one just happens to look good on you. Japanese polyester and wool blend, made in the USA.
8. Pendleton, the Portland Collection Double Pocket Shirt ($207)
Why: Because this mid weight wool shirt is warm and goes great under a jacket. It’s also lined in orange incase you decide to go hunting. 100% wool, made in the USA.
9. Penfield Bayfield Knit ($130)
Why: Because this super cozy and warm, 100% lambswool isn’t bulky and has a shawl-style neck when you forget your scarf.
10. Oliver Spencer Bloomsbury Cardigan ($330)
Why: Because this heavy knit cardigan looks better than your grandpa’s version and certainly fits better. Wooden buttons on top of a wool and nylon blend.
11. Rogue Territory Drake Camo Work Shirt ($165)
Why: Because this print is exclusive to Need Supply and applied on heavy-duty cotton that will actually let you get work done. Made in the USA.
12. FOLK Blakley Coat ($665)
Why: Because the tailoring alone will set you apart from every other pea coat and you’ll be able to wear it with just about anything. Dress up or dress down in it, it’s still going to look good and it’s still warm.
13. Gant Rugger Air Puffer Jacket ($275)
Why: Because this affordable and functional down jacket will give you some serious warmth without giving you the look of a mountaineer who has never been mountaineering.
14. Mellinda Gloss Long Coat ($680)
Why: Because this wool and cashmere car coat fits perfectly and is still going to look as good as it does now in the fall or spring. It’s the perfect length to keep moving in without ending up with dirt and snow all over the tail.
15. Our Legacy Wool Cap ($85.00)
Why: Because you lose all your heat from your head. This Italian wool and cashmere blend is here to put a stop to that. Thick material, slim fit, and perfect ribbing. It’s worth every penny.
16. Norse Projects Gustav Wool Sweats ($185)
Why: Because nothing beats lounging around the apartment in a good pair of warm sweats. Coffee in one hand and a good book (or remote) in the other. Top that off for a snowy Sunday morning.
