With dozens, if not hundreds, of new apparel, footwear and accessory releases from our favorite brands to sort through, I’ve done the hard work and winnowed things down to the absolute need-to-know style, watch and grooming drops that you can’t afford to miss.

This week’s haul: Taylor Stitch and family-owned outerwear purveyors Crescent Down Works collab on a duo of down-filled designs, Merrell slaps some autumnal Harris Tweed on its classic outdoor footwear, Paul Smith drops an early contender for coat of the season and more.
