Bean, Lost & Found, Mr Porter, Self Edge; Design: Emily HanhanEvery day, your faithful, over-caffeinated GQ Recommends editors cover everything from wardrobe essentials to step by step guides on how to find your office fragrance so that you know exactly what to purchase when you're shopping for your everyday items and big-ticket splurges. But, in-between bouts of menswear proselytizing and shilling for Big Gloop we do a lot of shopping for ourselves. And—while we like to think of ourselves as thoughtful consumers—even we smash that add to cart button on a whim a few times a month. That's why we put together this non-exhaustive list of what GQ Recommends editors impulse-bought this month. Here's everything we tossed in our virtual bags against our better judgement.WarehouseLot 4601 Green Turtle T-ShirtAs a wise man once said, it's turtles all the way down. —Louis CheslawBoseBose Noise Cancelling Wired EarbudsThe wired headphones community, which I consider myself a member of, finally has a good pair of noise-cancelling earbuds on deck. —Jordan BowmanCoachBrooklyn Shoulder Bag 34I see your overdone PSL as your signal of autumnal times and raise you a mulled-wine deep burgundy of a shoulder bag. —Mari HerremaI had to retire my dusty old dog walking shoes and I was immediately drawn to these classic mocs from the folks at L.L.Bean. —Jordan BowmanThe second-best men's fashion magazine on the planet (forgive my bias) dropped its seasonal guide to fall-winter style, and it's packed with cozy-weather inspiration. —Avidan GrossmanSugar CaneHawaii Sugarcane Fiber Blend JeanOf the two best-loved 1947 special editions, the heads seem to slightly prefer Sugar Cane's slightly-darker Okinawa model.
