Awesome Tops

Blending both Chinese and US Army styles may be an unholy union to some, but CLOT’s General M65 jacket has us doing double takes with its gold accents, flap pockets and epaulets.

This Captain Zip Hoodie is just the way we like ’em: plain and honest. All exterior pockets have flaps, the hood is removable and the melton wool shell is quilted to keep you warm.

Heritage1981’s Pinstripe Windbreaker blends utility with just a bit of a style while keeping things affordable; the discreet pinstriping plays well with the white piping and navy interior.

Digital camo on the outside and solid inside, we like how Maharashi’s Reversible F67 jacket lets you choose between urban and preppy casual with slash pockets on both sides.

With ribbed details and pocket patches, Monarchy’s Hoody Sweater is reminiscent of those worn by British commandos; adjustable side straps let you size according to your waist.

Available in black or grey, 3sixteen’s Field Jacket is a contradiction of sorts; its snap button pockets and military styling give it a hard edge, but its fleece gives it a soft touch.

This Shag Master Creature Hoodie is strangely functional: it features an iPod pocket with wire port, removable velcro patches, and swappable bear ears and devil horns. Thanks, Meep!

With asymmetric stripes and custom buttons, Tavik’s Burnout Hoodie is casual yet not anonymous; it’s made out of stretchy French terry and includes both kangaroo and arm pockets.

Nau continues its tradition of slim fitting, highly efficient apparel with its Down Shirt; it’s actually a jacket, but with tightly packed polyester fabric. 30% off with code: GIVE, good through 12/15.

Packed with pockets and ribbed knit details, Addict’s Herringbone C-Law jacket is an unconventional blend of old with new. We particularly dig the two-way Riri zip chest pocket.

Made with Italian wool, these DWP Premium Hoodies are an exercise in different patterns while retaining a clean-cut aesthetic: choose from houndstooth, pinstriping and plaid.

Its slim fitting shape doesn’t look it, but Obey’s No Direction Fleece Jacket is plenty warm; made from polar fleece and coated with PU leather, it resembles M-65 military field jackets.

We’re digging the clean lines of this leather Michael Modern Bomber Jacket by Rock & Republic; if features ribbed collars, matching front pockets and a unique neck scoop.

Easily the most important invention since the light bulb: avoid sky-high stadium prices by smuggling in brewskies with Beer Belly, which when hidden under your shirt looks like its namesake.

Indie-apparel maker Homeroom has just released their Fall/Winter collection; our top pick goes to the simple but asymmetric Portman Hoodie; it’s inspired by vintage motorcycle jackets.

Timberland’s Abington 3-in-1 Poplin Coat is our kind of apparel: not only is it rugged, waterproof and warm, but it features an inner zip jacket as well as a hidden storm collar and hood.

Wrinkles should always be in style, if only so we never have to iron; Superdry’s Brad Jacket epitomizes this look with distressed vintage leather; even David Beckham wears it.

Score some 8-bit street cred with this MarioFlauge hoodie; it abounds with geek-friendly features, including quick action thumb holes, an inner iPod pocket and mushroom zipper.

Nau’s Profile Fleece Jacket is stealthy in terms of style: understated from a distance, an up-close inspection reveals raw edges, recycled polyester construction and an asymmetric zip.

Part goofy and part genius, HeadHood’s hand-printed hooded sweatshirts have been seen on MTV, NBC and even Kanye West’s blog; their LEGO Minifig hoodie is our favorite by far.

Only Dr. Romanelli could pull off hunter’s plaid with merino: these reconstructed jackets mix outdoor elements with more upscale materials; they’re available at HUF LA and SF.

As its name implies, the simple yet stylish Dualist Jacket both keeps the wearer warm and wicks away moisture; its made with breathable merino wool and is wind and water resistant.

It’s hard to pick just one of Cardboard Robot’s hoodies. They use a mix of creative printing techniques, from dyeing to all-over/belt; Arsenal of Democracy is our favorite.
