Whenever the season changes, we like to catch up with men's designer buyer Dan Drewes to get the inside scoop on what's new for customers and what's cool for our own closets.

Dan told us about several exciting online designer launches-Japanese brand Tomorrowland;wallets and bags from Common Projects; wallets and belts from -as well as new -to-us brands available in-store only: Our Legacy, Stampd, Philip Lim, R13, Maison Margiela and Ovadia & Sons.

Those in-store brands are now available at Nordstrom locations in Seattle, Chicago, San Diego, Los Angeles and Vancouver. Contact your store to see exactly what's there.

And read on for Dan's take on key pieces by Moncler, ATM and Armani Collezioni.

This Moncler jacket is really cool, an updated version of the " Hotline Bling " puffer with new tonal and textural fabrics. It's a nylon jacket with wool patch pockets and a secondary wool lining, which adds warmth. As for the pants, we're finding our customers liking Moncler bottoms. We haven't bought a lot of them in the past but we saw these wool cargos and thought it was a really nice style. And in this look he's wearing a navy Moncler turtleneck under the jacket. Which, again: "Hotline Bling."

Moncler is a French brand, huge in Europe, and it's become big in the U.S. recently. Now every season for us is way bigger than the last. They use super premium down, which only exists in limited quantities, so their product is limited too. They're really edited with stuff that they use to make their products.

Anthony Thomas Melillo has been in the industry for a long time. He is a fabric nerd, completely understands how to make t-shirts that are comfortable and get better with time. In the last two years he's started selling his ATM brand more widely and expanded into pants and other garments. It's really easy, wearable stuff with interesting finishes and great fabrics. The raw edges here on the sweatshirt, the absence of a band at the bottom-which for most guys is really unflattering-makes this easy to wear, easy to layer, but looks a lot cleaner and dressier than a normal sweatshirt. He does a couple different pants, and you can't necessarily tell in this image, but this is a stretch pant. You have to be smart with your fabrics when you do something like that. If you use something that's too thin, it will look drapey or cling in weird places or wear out too soon. A knit that's too dense will look bunchy and not good. These stretch but still have that rigidity.

One of the interesting things about this jacket is the tiniest bit of red in that plaid. It makes it more exciting than something that's strictly classic. And this unstructured style, it's something that a guy's going to enjoy wearing, versus a true blazer, which a guy doesn't wear because it's comfortable, but wears mostly because he has to. Armani's doing a lot of these stretchy jackets that feel more like wearing a sweatshirt. We have unstructured jackets from a handful of brands. (Lanvin's another one.) This is a lightweight sweater in burgundy, a color that ties back to our overall buy. Armani has a lot of black and navy, but we bought a lot of burgundy this season. It felt like something different that was also easy to wear and a good fall color. And the pants here are a soft, twill, five-pocket.
