FALL IN THE CITY

There are many reasons we love fall here at CYTIES. Outwear and layers take center stage, our favorite brands drop new collections, the coffee is bolder to combat the chill, trees morph to vibrant yellows and orange on city streets, and leather boots lace up to handle the thinly iced puddles. Like the leaves, fashion floats and falls each year while one thing is as constant as the earth’s tilt, style. Our fall catalog is fit with the classic items that will never fail you in the autumn season while staying stylish and timeless. Built with a hit the concrete state of mind, each piece is as functional as it is appealing. As metropolis dwellers and travelers, it’s obvious that fall is the most artistic season to experience in our great cities. F Scott Fitzgerald said it best… “life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.”

Peregrine has been crafting and manufacturing for 220 years. Their Waxed Bexley Jacket is military inspired and an excellent overcoat to add to the arsenal against any fall chills. It’s constructed from British Millerain waxed canvas, made to withstand the elements of the cold seasons. It screams fall in the Mustard color tone and will be turning heads on street corners with its sharp, classy, vintage appeal.

Filson is the best-of-the-best when it comes to luggage or bags, made to take on any travel wear and tear. The Dryden Briefcase keeps your professional on the move with a sense of grit. It’s made of abrasion-resistant Cordura® nylon that holds up to heavy use in the field. A padded sleeve fits laptops up to 15″, and a trolley strap slides over luggage handles for easy carry. Dark Shrub Camo is the only way to go with the Dryden.

Seiko’s olive green Prospex King Turtle reigns supreme as a dedicated timepiece this fall. The watch is designed with reliable automatic movement and rugged yet sophisticated construction. The Movement: Caliber 4R38 three-hand automatic; runs by hand or wrist movement; never needs batteries & requires little care. The Case: round stainless steel with ceramic bezel; 45mm.

Fall and winter is the season for boots, an item every modern explorer should spare no expense. Red Wing has you covered with the 6-Inch Classic Moc, a modernized version of the classic moc made many fall seasons beforehand. The full-grain leather is soft and water/stain resistant, breaking in quickly to the feet. Red Wing is king when it comes to boots that will surely be a hand-me-down and withstand any frost or snow thrown at them. Shout out to our pals at Huckberry, who always keep the shelves stocked with the finest gear.

Grooming can go a long way when it’s a bit cold out. Proraso has been in the game long enough to know exactly what it takes to deliver the best products. Polish a little Wood and Spice into the beard for a lasting sheen and softening effect. The scent features fine woods with a cedar heart, spicy cumin, and mildly sweet vanilla. The cold air reactivates it, giving you a jolt of refreshment while walking city sidewalks.

The right beanie for cold weather is absolutely essential. The Rib Beanie from our friends at Taylor Stitch is classic and carefully constructed out of 100% organic cotton The Heather Grey color can tie together any layered outfit.

MOSCOT recently dropped their Fall ’22 collection, and we can’t get enough of the Smendrick Sun in gold; the frame drips in an array of autumn feels. It’s built with a sturdy construction of striped metal skiving, acetate temple tips, and titanium nose pads. The hand-dipped lens is all you need for some late day sun slicing through the chilly Central Park air. With five generations of NYC-made frames, you can assure once you go MOSCOT, you don’t go back.
