2022 Fall Style Guide

Inspiration for the season:

This fall marks the release of our Icon Collection: two thick leather pieces that encapsulate the traditions of leather in a chocolate brown tone. We drew inspiration from our kick-off shoots in Mexico City and New York City to pull together our fall style guide with tips and textures made for you.

We hope you enjoy.


Fall 2022 Color Palate

Minimalist accents and statement pieces.


Metropolitan Ruggedness

Dress simply, but dynamically.

Seasonal inspiration:

Seeing a city for its’ monuments is a reductive disservice to the lifeblood of community: by the same measure - seeing understated luxury dress as commonplace negated the details of well done craftsmanship.

This season: inspire yourself with the details of city life, the mixture of iconic locations with truly exceptional hidden details.

Style Recommendations:

  • Transition Temperatures with Layered Leather: Our icon jacket is meant to brave the elements - layer up or down this fall depending on the temperature to transition easily.

    • For Hotter Fall Days: Wear a light t-shirt or casual button up to bring a relaxed element to this strong jacket.

    • For Cooler Days: Layer up with a long sleeve and light sweater to stay warm even when shedding the armor of the icon jacket.

    • Best of Both Worlds: Looking for a lightweight leather? We recommend lambskin in suede or skin depending on precipitation for a piece that you can wear inside and out.

  • Style with Light Earth Tones and Pale Pastels: Bring out the best in your icon pieces using lighter grays, brown, and taupe to make your chocolate leather stand out.

    • Add a touch of color by using pale pastels such as plum, sea foam, olive, navy, and brick to play off the tones found in our organically dyed skins.

  • Use cream color accents: even after Labor Day, it’s okay to blend a bit of cream with your fall style.

    • Accent accessories such as scarves and watch bands can elevate the uniquely contrasting stitching for each Icon piece.

Trends we’ve seen:

  • Back to classics: We’ve seen m/fall 22 shift away from street wear inspiration and back towards traditional silhouettes and looks ushering in the resurgence of the classic man.

  • Texture Blocking: we’ve seen combinations across m/fall 22 that juxtapose comfortable layering pieces with strong textures from leathers and fibers to make statement pieces stand out.

  • Monochrome Colors: we’ve seen a conservative blend of colors from this years m/fall 22 with a simple palate of black, gray, honey and brown. Accent colors shown are also traditional but pop such as navy, oxblood, and olive.


Wherever you go:

Take true style with you.
