Orvis Men's Brown Field Jacket
The brown waxed-canvas Orvis jacket from the pin — corduroy collar, plaid lining and big patch pockets. It only looks better with every ferry ride.
Brooks Brothers Men's Friday Poplin Pattern Shirt — Blue Plaid
The navy-and-blue plaid button-down — the easy Brooks Brothers shirt that makes the brown jacket and dark denim look planned.
Nexbelt Aluminum Alligator Tan 2.0 Belt
The tan alligator-pattern belt with the polished silver buckle — the detail that ties every look together.
Lucky Brand Men's Relaxed Straight Jeans (Lakewood Wash)
Dark, straight-leg denim in the spirit of the pin — the weekend jean that works with everything above.
Zamberlan Men's Trail Hiking Boots — Waxed Chestnut
Waxed chestnut Zamberlan boots — the pair for wet docks, cobblestones and a walk out to Brant Point.
Brooks Brothers Men's Cashmere Flannel Shirt — Tan Check
The tan cashmere-flannel check with two chest pockets — warm autumn color that pairs perfectly with the tan belt.
Laid out and ready to go: the Orvis field jacket, the blue plaid Brooks Brothers shirt, the tan alligator belt and dark denim — the uniform for every fall weekend on the island.
Orvis Men's Brown Field Jacket
The brown waxed-canvas Orvis jacket from the pin — corduroy collar, plaid lining and big patch pockets. It only looks better with every ferry ride.
If you only bring home one piece from this room, begin here — it sets the palette, the scale, and the mood of everything that follows.

Every layer that makes this room work — and why.
- 01The Jacket
Brown waxed canvas with a plaid-lined collar.
- 02The Shirt
Blue plaid button-down from Brooks Brothers.
- 03The Belt
Tan alligator pattern with a silver buckle.
- 04The Denim
Dark, straight and simple.
A room should feel collected over time, never purchased all at once.
Complete the Look in Stages
The best rooms are never finished in a weekend. If you're building this room slowly, here is the order we'd bring things home.
- 01Foundation
Begin with the anchor — the sofa, the rug, or the bed. It sets the scale and the palette for everything else.
- 02Lighting
Layer the light next. A pair of lamps and one small warm bulb do more for the room than any wall color.
- 03Textiles
Add the softness — pillows, throws, a runner. This is where the room begins to feel like yours.
- 04Accessories
Bring in the ginger jars, the trays, the framed watercolors. Style in vignettes of three.
- 05Finishing Touches
Candles, greenery, the small found thing. The details that make the room feel collected, not decorated.
