Style Pick of the Week: Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer – A Timeless Wardrobe Addition In Any Season (Including This One)

If your the front of your fridge looks anything like mine, perhaps wedding invites and Save The Dates are stacking up — yes, formal shindigs aplenty are on the horizon, and you’re going to ultimately want to put your best foot forward with menswear essentials aplenty done the right way. Provided your following the dress code in question, one of the best blazers or one of the finest suits for men should do the trick nicely, particularly if you’re opting for accessible quality and versatile style.

One of the best navy blazers is now yours for the taking via the good folks at Huckberry, who’ve launched a whole slew of wedding-approved and Smart Casual menswear favorites, including some pleasingly refined seasonal upgrades from in-house brand Wills.

Shop refined seasonal favorites from Wills and Huckberry

Wills is perhaps best known for its buttery-soft, classic cashmere sweaters and other polished, crisp menswear staples, and the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer lives up to its billing with elegance in mind.

Whether paired with its matching suit trousers and brown leather loafers or styled separately with lightweight stretch chinos and a stylish dress shirt (which Wills also happens to make!), the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer is billed by Huckberry as a “perfectly tailored, all-season suit jacket that rises to every occasion” — add in the fact that it’s handmade in Portugal at a family-run factory known for its commitment to quality tailoring, and the ante is upped even further, as we like to say.

Best navy blazer for men.

Made from a blend of just a touch of Spandex to add durability to its 98 percent Portuguese High-Twist Wool construction, this fully lined jacket uses soft, supple Bemberg lining for a touch that gives it a bespoke feel without the price tag of going custom. The Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer boasts a natural shoulder, classic-but-modern lapels and a tailored fit in sizes running up to 46.

Wills menswear review.

The angled welt chest pocket is a distinctive touch that separates the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer from the pack as far as other navy blazers are concerned, while it also features three-roll-two construction (three buttons down the front, with the lapels rolled to cover the top button — a classic and classy move favored as of late by none other than James Bond himself.

Best blazers for men.

This jacket manages to feel polished without going overboard and turning into a rather stuffy gold-button navy blazer — it’s a perfect go-between when the dress code calls for a sharply tailored dress shirt, but a tie might prove optional.

And when you pair up the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer with its matching pants (note that the jacket itself comes in either Charcoal or Navy), you’re getting crisply finished tailoring with a sense of laidback ease — isn’t that what every guy should look for this season in one of the best blazers for men? Count on it, my friends, and suit up accordingly.

The Thursday Buy: You’re Going to Want to Stock Up on New Mott and Bow Heavyweight Tees This Spring

When we talk about a menswear essential like the best jeans for men, it often follows that the best complementary pieces can prove mighty important as well, right? There’s a reason the “jeans and a T-shirt” pairing has earned its rightful place in the menswear lexicon: It’s casually rugged, it’s comfortable without being sloppy, it’s the choice of rock stars and iconoclast style icons and hard-working fellas the land over.

And when done the right way — when done by a brand that excels in both categories, like Mott and Bow — it can change the way you approach dressing for spring, summer and beyond.

Learn more now online at Mott and Bow

New York City-based Mott and Bow has, across the past dozen years, done a standout job at how guys (and gals!) shop for and buy denim online, using high-quality denim fabrication, helpful fits and easy exchange policy and a growing roster of supporting menswear staples — like one of the best heavyweight T-shirts for men as shown above.

Yes, you very well might know the brand for its exceptionally well-fitting, affordably priced denim (for the designer-level quality, at least in my experience), and Mott and Bow has expanded across the years into super-soft, durable hoodies, sweatpants, polos, T-shirts, underwear and even travel pants and chinos.

And the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee lineup is the latest marker of quality from the fast-selling direct-to-consumer denim brand (perhaps you’ve even seen their ads on TV and across social media as of late, ehh?).

If you haven’t yet taken the plunge with a pair of Mott and Bow denim, check out my Mott and Bow reviews here on this blog — and of course, consider starting things off simply by picking up the hard-wearing Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee — in my own trials wearing these tees across the past few weeks, I’ve found the fit impeccable and the fabric supple but substantial. Could the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee be my new favorite T-shirt? Ladies and gentlemen, that’s certainly a possibility.

Made from durable yet soft cotton jersey fabric with a heavier-weight construction, this tee takes its cues from workwear, featuring a slightly relaxed but not too oversized fit (a size XL in the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee fits my frame nicely, with room to move rather than a restrictive fit). The hem is cut slightly longer without proving too baggy, while the garment-washed fabric is already getting softer with each wear, at least in my experience.

As with other Mott and Bow menswear staples, you can find the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee in a solo set, a 3-pack trio or a 6-pack offering, giving you stylish, rugged options multiple days of the week in your T-shirt rotation.

Colors like Vintage Pewter and Vintage Taupe, plus shades of grey and charcoal, deliver the ultimate in casual versatility when it comes to the Mott and Bow Heritage Weighted Tee – it’s everything you’ve come to expect in terms of quality Mott and Bow construction, but in T-shirt form. Your next casual #OOTD just got a leg up, thanks to your favorite denim brand.

But the classics, as we often say, remain the classics for a reason, and a sense of timeless style — with some thoughtful design details or perhaps a slightly elevated outlook — can work wonders for your wardrobe.

The fabric is a workwear staple, and if Billy Reid knows a thing or two about anything — beyond making the peacoat worn by James Bond, that is — it’s high-quality denim (among other menswear essentials, of course). The brand’s Billy Reid Shoals Denim Shirt is a personal favorite of this writer, and the company looked to its archives this season to deliver a revamped, lighter take on cotton chambray in a short-sleeve fabrication the newfound favorite Billy Reid Short-Sleeve Chambray Donelson Shirt.

The Billy Reid Short-Sleeve Chambray Donelson Shirt has a few roots of the past woven in every thread – namely, it looks like an old-school auto body or shop shirt, with two welt pockets that provide easy access to the tools of your trade (and distinctive looks).

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket – A Revamped Take on a Huckberry Bestseller

It can prove tricky to take on an all-time modern menswear classic and update it accordingly, improving upon it all the while — but that’s what Huckberry has done by throwing down the proverbial gauntlet, so to speak, in taking a new, fresh look at the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket. Yes indeed, it’s true: Flint and Tinder took its iconic, best-selling Waxed Trucker Jacket and retooled it in an entirely new fabrication just in time for spring, and it’s assuredly one of the best trucker jackets for men you can buy now.

Shop men’s jackets and more at Huckberry

The trucker jacket is a casually rugged style move all on its own, ideal for layering up over a T-shirt, a short-sleeve henley or a printed camp collar shirt for a mix of high-low style. Throw in the fact that Flint and Tinder kept the same silhouette as its legendary Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, and it’s clear that the Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket has plenty going for it.

Its unlined design starts with tough yet supple, hard-working British Millerain Ranger 6 dry-wax cloth — Millerain, of course, is known for designing some of the sturdiest, toughest waxed fabrics on the market, so suffice to say, the good folks at Huckberry got this one correct in every sense of the word.

As its names suggests, the dry finish on the Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket switches things up from the typical waxed cotton fabrication, as Huckberry notes, and this rugged jacket just so happens to be water and wind-resistant. Side waist pockets and a button flap chest pocket deliver the crucial everyday carry storage and performance you expect from Huckberry’s lineup of fan-favorite trucker jackets, and custom Flint and Tinder hardware (another feature noted for its distinctive durability) finishes off the handsome Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket in sturdy fashion.

As per tradition with Huckberry’s lineup of Americana-inspired styles, casually rugged looks aplenty are yours for the taking with the Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket — Dark Olive, Fatigue Green or an especially striking shade of blue should prove plenty wearable with everything from expertly faded blue jeans to inky black selvedge denim or light grey Flint and Tinder 365 Pants.

The Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket delivers the promise of durable, hard-working performance and eye-catching style, as one should certainly expect (at least in my experience) from the good folks at Huckberry. What more can you ask for from one o the best jackets for men to wear this spring, period? Cheers to dependable layering in the season ahead, my friends.

The Friday Find: This Triple Aught Design Chambray Shirt is a Perfectly Rugged Outer Layer for Spring Adventures

Best chambray shirts for men.

As we thaw out after a frigid winter, the call of spring and the promise of adventure — a park stroll, a day hike, maybe a crisp round of brewery beers on a patio — beckons, and I’d wager you’re going to want the right gear with which to take on all of those pursuits. And in my book, one of the best shirt jackets for men (like the one shown above from Triple Aught Design) can help you meet the moment in rugged, functional and casually stylish fashion, at least on your top half.

Find out more and shop new gear now at Triple Aught Design

So for as much as our Friday Find series is about unearthing hidden gems in the world of brands, it’s also about coming back to the well, so to speak, when a brand is really worth its salt. And my friends, Triple Aught Design, with its focus on functional, tactical performance and spirited, rugged fashion certainly qualifies.

That promise of high-quality utility and serious style makes the Triple Aught Design Torque Chambray Shirt an action-packed, feature-filled spring style upgrade as far as the best menswear for spring is concerned.

The basics are covered with the Triple Aught Design Torque Chambray Shirt, and then some, as always seems to be the case with the adventure-minded San Francisco-founded retailer. When it comes to the Triple Aught Design Torque Chambray Shirt, that means using hard-wearing yet supple pre-washed 100 percent cotton chambray fabric in a tight, textured weave ideal for layering atop a short-sleeve henley or rocking all on its own.

The Triple Aught Design Torque Chambray Shirt in fact features heritage-quality cotton chambray denim from European manufacturer Evlox, with a history of high-quality production dating back to 1846.

In fact, Triple Aught Design says it perhaps the very best when talking about the rugged durability of this highly wearable chambray shirt jacket, noting that the material is “a workwear and style icon for over 400 years,” while noting that “chambray shirts have brought character and capability to every frontier.”

That sure is high praise, and that means the company used double and triple-needle stitching for reinforcement of the tough black crosshatch chambray fabric. How’s that for one of the best chambray shirts for men? Make no bones about it, the rugged Triple Aught Design Torque Chambray Shirt lives up to its billing and then some — spring adventures await, my friends.
