The smell in the air? That’s what it smells like when fall is officially 10 days away. This week we’re particularly taken rich knits made from fun materials, an energetic topcoat and sleek puffers. But it’s also exciting to see a socially engaged brand like Noah stand up to help the recovery effort in the Bahamas. The stuff that caught our eyes this week, below.
'Mayans M.C.' Star Michael Irby Teases Bishop and EZ's "Connection" in Season 2 /
Michael Irby is having a really good year. A veteran actor whose IMDb boasts nearly 70 credits over 20+ years, he’s been a steady character actor, working (mostly) in television. But the past year-and-a-half has been a real breakout for Irby, with an increased, recurring role in HBO’s Barry and FX's high-octane Mayans M.C., the Sons of Anarchy spin-off which recently had its sophomore season premiere.
Complex caught up with Irby to talk about Mayans, learning how to ride motorcycles, getting back into comedic roles, working alongside the GOAT Anthony Carrigan (aka NoHo Hank), doing stuff that scares him, and much more.

Elevate Your Fall Footwear With These 10 Stylish Chelsea Boots /
Over the last few years, Chelsea boots have risen significantly in popularity—and for good reason. The extremely versatile boot just looks good on its own and pairs well with nearly every single outfit you can imagine. Since its creation in 1837, it went on to be considered the British equivalent of a cowboy boot, and then gained a second life thanks to little indie rock band called the Beatles. The boots are still the same now as they were then: lighter materials, an elastic center, and a pull tab make it so the boots slip on and off with ease. Whether it’s full suede, leather, or rubber, we’ve rounded up ten of our favorite Chelsea boots on the market. There’s most likely something that will speak to you and once it does—you’ll wonder why it took you so long to get a pair in the first place.

Be Prepared With 7 of the Best Outdoor Survival Watches Around /
Far more than an accessory, watches are capable of being used to do more than just tell the time. We all know the power that’s contained in something as simple as a smart watch, so it makes sense there are a number of features and uses that could be applied to a watch used for the outdoors, too. Enter: Survival watches. With the ability to tell the temperature, direction, weather and more, survival watches are an essential companion to have alongside you for any outdoor activity for their useful features alone. But, god forbid, should you get lost, they’ll also be there to help you find your way back. While we definitely don’t recommend relying on a survival watch alone (always make sure you follow the trail and do your research beforehand!), but you’ll be thankful you have one if you accidentally take a wrong turn along the way. Here are our seven favorites.
