The end of summer might be fast approaching, but that means the most stylish season is just on the horizon—fall fashion means great denim , rugged jackets , and cozy layers, and there's nowhere you'll find a better deal than at the Gap . Gap just went live with its Friends and Family sale , offering shoppers 40% off nearly every product on the site until Aug. 19.

Gap hasn't strayed from the products that put it on the map, like well-fitting jeans , hard-wearing T-shirts , and live-in hoodies . But now, Gap is starting to introduce more interesting items and updated fits, like baggy cargo pants and even uniquely designed selvedge denim jackets , that offer style far beyond basics. After Men's Journal shopped through Gap's Friends and Family sale, we found four products worth an immediate add to cart.

Gap Relaxed Selvedge Denim Icon Jacket in Dark Wash Indigo, $77 (was $128) at Gap

This selvedge denim jacket is, by far, the coolest thing you can score during Gap's Friends and Family sale, and one we're betting on to sell out. There's nothing wrong with a classic Levi's trucker jacket, but this one is undoubtedly more interesting, opting for a massive chest patch pocket instead of the traditional dual button-closure pockets. It's intended to be a relaxed fit with ample space for layering, but if you're looking for that to-the-body slim type of fit, Gap encourages you to order a size down.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Fits like vintage Carhartt Detroit jackets…not as structured and blanket lined, but has a good crop and shape to it."

Gap Organic Cotton Pocket T-Shirt in Optic White, $12 (was $25) at Gap

Gap's Friends and Family sale is also the best time to stock up on essentials like the brand's beloved white pocket T-shirts . Made from 100% organic cotton, these standard-fit crewneck shirts are ideal for layering under flannels, twill chore coats, and anything else you can throw at them. They're as soft as they are durable and, in our experience, hold up after dozens of washes. Black, white, and navy are discounted beyond 40% right now, so make sure to stock up while prices are low.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Needed a shirt with a pocket for work and I'm glad the Gap makes an organic cotton version. Comfortable for this summer's heatwave…glad I bought several. I hope they continue to make these. I'm a big fan, especially because of the awesome price!"

Gap Slim Jeans in GapFlex in Black Wash, $42 (was $70) at Gap

If you can find jeans on sale ahead of fall—especially a pair with this much stretch, and for under $50—it's one of the smartest buys you'll make this year. Gap denim is relied on for its diverse fit lineup, comfortable stretch, and wide selection of washes; there's a pair for everybody. These slim-fit jeans offer a medium rise that's fitted up top with a slim taper down toward the ankle that's similar to a pair of Levi's 511s. The brand's athletic taper fit might be getting a ton of attention right now as a roomier alternative, but you can't go wrong with these, especially in the black wash.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I'm happy with these slim jeans because while they're definitely slim, they aren't so slim that they're difficult to move in. They're very comfortable and fit me even better than I expected. I really like the added comfort from the flex, too."

Gap Vintage Soft Hoodie in Black, $29 (was $60) at Gap

Gap's pullover hoodies are also a perennial favorite because they're soft, perfectly shaped, and easy to throw on with any outfit, and right now, you can score one for less than $30. They're made from a combination of cotton and polyester so they can be cozy and breathable and come out of the wash looking the way it did when you bought it. They come in sizes XS to 3XL and are available in colors as neutral as black and as exciting as rusty orange.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Great price and quality. Definitely going to be an autumn/winter staple…I'm going to buy these in a few different colors along with the joggers while they're on sale!"
