Unlock the Secret Gear Esquire’s Editors Swear By to Dominate Style and Performance This Week!
Isn’t it wild how some pieces in your wardrobe or daily routine just elevate your whole vibe without trying too hard? Like, have you ever wondered what tiny tweaks to your gear could seriously up your game—whether that’s a watch that’s as reliable as your morning coffee or a cardigan that feels like a warm hug (even if your nephews are roasting you about last night’s pizza)? Well, buckle up, because this listicle isn’t just about any old products. It’s a curated collection of the kind of stuff that makes you go, “Where have you been all my life?” From timeless microbrand watches powered by solid Seiko movements to dry shampoo mists that’ll have your coworkers talking behind your back (in the best way), and even luggage that screams James Bond without saying a word. Fancy seeing what else made the cut? You’re in for a treat, and maybe a few laughs along the way—because looking good and feeling good should never be boring.
They’re built on a solid Seiko movement and have a look that’s unique to the brand. AP does that without doing too much or straying too far from what makes a classic field watch cool. The month’s best microbrand release? Now available at Americana Pipedream dot com. —Luke Guillory, commerce editor
One of the things Thom Browne just gets is American knitwear. This shawl collar cardigan is the perfect fashion tweak on what I’d wear on Christmas morning while my nephews are speaking to me like I don’t have a hangover. —L.G.
After using the Living proof Dry Shampoo Mist, my coworkers were in awe at how good my hair looked – from the front and the back. Seriously, they wouldn’t shut up about it. My hair looked styled, in a non-fussy way, with more texture and without any starchy residue. 10/10 would recommend as it finds a permanent home in my gym bag. —Alfonso Fernández Navas, senior editor market & style
Exactly the type of shit that would get me to spend too much money on a suitcase. —L.G.
There are plenty of countertop water filters out there, but I’m not surprised that Ninja might have just dropped the one I most want to buy. —L.G.
I’m not a Texas alum, but if I were I would be all over this. Luckily, Georgia football dog walked Arch Manning & Co. last season, so I can give credit without any ill will. —L.G.
Polo keeps doing these souvenir jackets for its sponsored sporting events (there was another for U.S.A. Ryder Cup team) and they make me drool every time. —L.G.
Very quietly, Octobre Éditions dropped what I think might be the best shoes of this upcoming Fall 2026 season. —L.G.
You enjoy golfing but also want to let them know you’re part of the IBEW? There is, now, a shoe for that. —L.G.
Good pants. —L.G.
Just obscenely gorgeous. My ideal shoes for kicking around the house or shuffling out to the pool on a summer Friday afternoon. —L.G.
