Today’s hype-fueled fashion landscape yields a mountain of fresh menswear drops every month. Which is why every issue of GQ now includes a guide to the best of the best new gear as it hits stores. Even though it’s still hot and sticky across most of the country, August is the time to pick up the grails you’ll be wearing all fall. So we rounded up some of the certified heaters that land in stores this month, like Fendi’s cross-body Baguette, Dries Van Noten’s tie-dye denim, and Sandy Liang’s next-gen deep pile fleece. Come shop with us.

Omega’s Special Speedie
In 1969, to celebrate the Apollo 11 moon landing, Omega made 1,014 solid-gold versions of the Speedmaster Buzz Aldrin wore on the lunar surface. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of man’s first moonwalk, Omega made 1,014 more.
A Brand-New Baguette

When Raf Simons was growing up in Antwerp, the youth scenesters would wear Dr. Martens work boots, and cut the leather away from the toe to expose the steel toe beneath. Why? Because it was cool.
Dries Van Noten’s Far-Out Denim
Dries Van Noten’s Fall-Winter 2019 collection was inspired by his “heroes,” one of whom is Jimi Hendrix—hence the tie-dye-printed jeans, which are an early contender for grail of the season.
Woven Workshirt
Now you can get Missoni’s famous hippie-sprezz knitwear in overshirt form.

Sandy Liang Hybrid Fleece
Sandy Liang’s women’s fleece jacket was the hottest jawn in menswear last fall. This season, it returns as a hybrid-down jacket.
Dior x Raymond Pettibon Art Shirt
If you’ve ever worn a Black Flag or Sonic Youth tee, you’ve probably worn a Raymond Pettibon graphic design. Kim Jones gives the punk artist the couture treatment.
Burberry’s Rubber Runners
