 Welcome to Add to Cart, in which Esquire editors tell you about the clothes, shoes, watches, gear, gadgets, booze, and anything else we're coveting right now.
- The Editors at Esquire  There are very few pieces of clothing that recall images of fall more than a flannel shirt. For many men—especially those that live in Seattle, Portland, Boston, and Brooklyn—it is the quintessential shirt of the season. The primary reason is the material, which is tightly woven wool or cotton, brushed for softness, that's as warm as it is comfortable. Then there's the abundance of patterns—usually big plaids and buffalo checks—and an oftentimes-boxy shape that looks good on everyone. We have 20 flannel shirts just ripe for the picking. The vibe your pick emits, however, is all up to you.    The style is as timeless—and timely—as ever.  There isn't a meal you won't make in it.  From hiking to sloshing through slush, the behemoth retailers carries styles for every kind of activity.  The suede and pony hair slip-ons are available now.  It's been nearly a year since Todd Snyder and L.L.Bean dropped their "From Away" collaboration, signaling to all the world that for all its ebbs and flows, heritage-inspired menswear isn't just back in the mix—it's as relevant as ever. Provided, of course, that the minds reinterpreting the archives are the right ones. The TS and LLB crews have proven themselves up to the task, reinvigorating classics like the chamois shirt and Bean Boot for guys who appreciate provenance but don't want to dress like a caricature of an old-timey outdoorsman. It's a delicate balance, and the collab's first outing nailed it. Today, L.L.Bean x Todd Snyder is back, this time with a collection called "Upta Camp" that brings back some greatest hits and introduces a new slew of items equally inspired by Leon Leonwood Bean's hunting-and-fishing excursions from way back when and the thrift-store-treasure, gorp-y gear that Bean offered up in the '80s.
