Now that Santa has closed out the famous Thanksgiving Macy's parade, the holiday season has begun. Every store under the planet is ready to bombard you with shopping incentives, gift wrappings, and the smell of cranberry and cookies. In all the flurry you have to find time to go out and get that tree for your place. If you are one of those pathetic souls that has a pre-decorated trees in a box waiting in storage you might as well stop reading now. I'm talking to those out there that must embark on the quest for the perfect tree, much like the Griswolds in
Christmas Vacation.
Now, just because you don't have a designer axe and amazing leather sling like the one above from
Best Made Company, this doesn't mean that you still can't dress the part. Whether you are going out to chop down your evergreen or just going to find your ideal tree at a local lot, you should still aspire to channel your inner woodsman. The key is to look like you could be going out into the great unknown, or perhaps just came back from there.
Starting from the bottom, you should begin with boots. The below
Paul Smith Fremont oakwood suede pair should do the trick, although most lace-up versions would work. Don't forget to throw some heavy socks underneath. The camp socks from
J.Crew should do nicely.
Following with the outdoor trend, denim pants should be a no-brainer. Perhaps something by
Levi's, now that they are offering a selection of fits and washes to suit just about any desire you may have. Also, they have created partnerships with many retailers out there, so you can find their wares at everywhere from
Macy's to
Brooks Brothers.
Moving upward, we come to the torso. The obvious choice is some sort of a flannel shirt which you can layer over anything from chest hair to a heather waffle t-shirt. For a lower price option peruse the wares at Urban Outfitters, or for a more vintage feel locate the nearest Double RL store. In fact, I think you could get just about every item needed for your entire wardrobe at Double RL, but you may go broke in the process.
Finally, we come to the outerwear and cold weather accessories. The jacket is a key part of the entire outfit; and you don't want it to look too dressy. This gorgeous Trailmaster Replica Evolution jacket by
Belstaff fits the bill. As for the cold weather accessories,
Rag & Bone has some great options, including these Knightsbridge Patch mittens that will keep your fingers toasty, while still allowing the tactile dexterity of touchscreen texting.
Final Verdict: You only get an excuse to dress like a mountain man a few times a year, so embrace this glorious time of year and make your fellow men proud.
