Well, that’s all folks. Out with one season and in with another. Just like that the beaches are cleared, Labor Day barbecues are over (though the hangover may not be), and the time has come to start looking toward the next round of festivities — here’s to your fall beer drinking season. And yet, with the thought of summer in the rear view as saddening as it may be, the notion of entering the throes of fall’s fiery transition is as welcome as the cool air soon to follow suit.
Along those lines, what’s also welcome is some reprieve from the unrelenting sun. Meaning, black is back in season this time of year. From flannels to hiking boots, to knives and trucker wallets, if it’s blacked-out, bring it on. We’re naturally of the same persuasion, which is why this month’s round of scoured Amazon gear is as dark as the long nights ahead.
Misc Goods Co Playing Cards
No matter what the season, a deck of playing cards is always a great way to get people off their smartphones and engaged in conversation. And with this stylish set from Misc Goods Co, you’ll be part of the solution, not the problem.
How To Be A Gentleman
Just because you plan on adorning some agnostic gear doesn’t mean you can’t still be a gentleman in the process. Manners, just like that pair of heirloom boots on your feet, are timeless. So best be on good behavior because no one wants a lump of coal in their stocking come Christmas. congratulations
Gerber Remix Tactical Knife
Looking for an aggressive pocket knife to fit the blacked-out vibe? Look no further than Gerber’s Remix Tactical knife. It features a stainless steel G-10 handle for a secure grip no matter what, a corrosion-resistant serrated three-inch tanto blade, and clocks in at a lightweight 2.88 ounces.
Yeti Rambler
Yeti just won’t stop releasing indestructibe products for everyday use and abuse. And we couldn’t be happier. Here, the Rambler boasts a double-wall vacuum insulated 18/8 stainless steel construction, a durable DuraLast finish, and LeakProof TripleHaul Cap to prevent spillage.
Carhartt Trucker Wallet
Built from 100% leather and complete with the iconic snap closure, this trucker wallet is sure to serve you well in the years to come because, hey, they’re built to last for decades. Notable features include two slip pockets, one ID window, and upward of 12 card slots.
Olight S2 Baton Flashlight
Longer nights mean more movement after the sun sets earlier and earlier with each passing day. Fortunately, with Olight’s S2 Baton, upward of 959 lumens of light will be accessible in your pocket thanks to this durable flashlight’s incredibly small and lightweight stature.
Pendleton Classic Fit Trail Shirt
Time to dust off those long-sleeve shirts now that cooler weather is in the forecast. Pendleton, fortunately, has just the hookup here with their Classic Fit Trail Shirt. Each piece is made of 100% wool, boasts standard button closures, a round tail, and a button-through chest pocket with a pencil slot. School is back in session after all.
Zeal Optics Carson
Even though the sun may dip a little lower in the horizon, blind spots are still blind spots. Which is why Zeal Optics designed this pair of stylish running shades that are polarized, hydrophobic, boast a saddle-style bridge, Hypoallergenic ProFlex Rubber nose pads and temple tips for comfort.
Teton Ultralight Mummy Sleeping Bag
Looking to clock in some additional time under the stars this fall? Worry not, for Teton’s Ultralight Mummy Sleeping Bag will keep you warm without weighing you down.

Danner Mountain Light II Hiking Boot
Whether it be on the mountain, commuting through the city streets, or traversing in some early-season snow, Danner’s USA-made Light II Hiking Boots are built to handle anything. It’s all thanks to a Vibram Kletterlift sole, waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX construction, and a stitchdown build for enhanced stability. Trust us, you’ll be sporting these next season too.
Sony Xperia Wireless Headset
These days, work never ends. We just take the office with us when we head home. Understanding this contemporary business model, Sony did us all a favor and developed this wireless headset that not only keeps the tunes pumping for 22 hours straight but allows you to seamlessly take calls on the go.
Garmin Forerunner 935 Watch
We don’t have to tell you fall is a great time to stay active in the outdoors; it’s obvious. What’s also beneficial is a reliable GPS running watch to keep track of your movements, elevation gains, heart rate, barometric pressure, and various other performance metrics all while remaining lightweight on the wrist. You’re welcome.
