If you're into menswear, you probably love John Varvatos' classically elegant, subtly edgy threads. Of course, most guys can't afford Varvatos gear, which is why we were stoked when the designer hooked up with Converse in 2006 to produce a line that was less dressy, and considerably less pricey, than his flagship range.

Still going strong, Converse by Varvatos offers vintage-inspired casual wear and basics in a simple black-white-gray color palette. The typically graceful, military-flavored waxed cotton jacket pictured here is ideal for keeping the fall breezes and rain showers at bay.

At $150, you don't need to be loaded -- like the aging rockers Varvatos likes to feature in his ad campaigns -- to afford one. ($149.99 from UrbanOutfitters.com)
