It's market week once again in New York City, meaning brands are showcasing their Fall/Winter 2015 collections for stores to peruse, make orders, and stock on their shelves in about nine months from now. With over 250 labels bringing their best on the trade show floor, it was near-impossible to soak in all the goodness that's headed our way next year. That being said, we chose a few items that stood out from the crowd, both from brands that reliably bring heat season after season, and from a few new heads that we should all keep an eye on. Start taking notes now. Here are The 15 Coolest Things We Saw at the Capsule New York Trade Show.

3.Maiden Noir
Seattle label Maiden Noir comes correct with a variety of topcoats for Fall, but the blackwatch plaid definitely takes the cake. We paired it with a textured mock neck and a reversible bucket hat from the upcoming season for some slightly grown vibes.
4.Champion Select by Craig Green
Lauded London designer Craig Green has been making waves for his envelope-pushing menswear silhouettes, which is why Champion Select tapped his talents for an upcoming capsule collection to be sold at Urban Outfitters. Here, he takes the crewneck to drapey new levels, creating a garment health goths and streetgoths will equally covet.
5.TSPTR
TSPTR is primarily known more for gear emblazoned with Snoopy and the rest of the Peanuts gang, but it also makes some pretty cheeky tees like this one, as well as surplus-inspired jackets any guy can pull off.
6.Native Youth
Native Youth is a British brand that specializes in the kind of basics that build a good wardrobe. This black flannel and plaid sweater add instant swag to the boring staples you're used to.
7.Feldton
Feldton is a new brand out of New York that's part spirit walk, part-Engineered Garments. These long shirts feature a funnel collar and side pockets, but will look dope layered under just about anything.
8.Prospekt Supply
Prospekt Supply gets cozy this season with a microfiber-lined robe. Best part? It's part of a set with a coordinating pant and shirt.
9.Prospekt Supply
Prospekt Supply continues to bring the heat when it comes to forward-thinking basics. This denim overshirt feels like the American version of the Japanese noragi, with none of the coolness lost in translation.
10.Mark McNairy New Amsterdam
Leave it to Mark McNasty to give the classic down overshirt an all-over paisley print that looks like it belongs in a Dipset video circa 2005.
11.Herschel Supply Co.
The classic black backpack gets a mil-spec upgrade courtesy of durable nylon, the same stuff your favorite bomber jacket's made of. Put some sheen on your back next fall.
12.CMMN SWDN
CMMN SWDN's moto jacket is a menswear mash-up on steroids, a dressy pinstripe fabric up top degrades into a rugged washed denim below. Utter insanity, but still dope with a plain white tee and ripped jeans.
13.Corridor New York
Corridor New York's chambray overshirt features a spread collar for a dressy vibe and a bouclé fabric that feels nice enough to sleep in. Patch pockets in the front make for a good place to hide your hands when the street style photographers eventually come calling.
14.Snow Peak
Snow Peak, in a nutshell, is essentially the Japanese Patagonia. They make ill chopsticks and sporks that can withstand an apocalypse. They also make this down-insulated denim noragi, for when you feel like channeling Visvim's Hiroki Nakamura (or John Mayer, no hate here), but at about half the price of something he would make.
15.tourne de transmission
The Brits at tourne de transmission keep the fire flames outerwear coming with this embroidered brown coat. It's the kind of outerwear piece that does all the talking, so the rest of your kit doesn't have to.
16.Rascals
Denmark's sporty streetwear brand teams up with Ebbets Field Flannels for a dope coaches jacket and matching hat. They're also introducing mock neck tees with a '90s soccer casual vibe. It's very Parklife-era Blur.
17.Tanner Goods
Man totes have a bad rep, but Portland's Tanner Goods offers up an option that's rugged without looking all you know, lumbersexual-y.
