Just when you thought spring had strolled into town as more of a pleasant start to an early (and mighty hot!) summer, the weather gods shifted things a touch, didn’t they? At least, that’s the case in my neck of the woods, and that means I haven’t quite stowed away my selection of the best sweaters for men — including the premium cashmere sweater shown above from Mott and Bow, makers of some of the best blue jeans for men. And no, that’s not all, my friends.

Yes indeed, you could certainly say that New York City-based Mott and Bow has done it again — and again, and again. The brand’s expansion over the years has been fun to watch, to say the least, and you could very well put together a full weekend’s worth of looks between Mott and Bow T-shirts, cashmere sweaters, exceptional denim with designer quality, and even swim trunks.

But let’s start by diving into the Mott and Bow Classic Cashmere Bergen Crew, a minimal and easy-to-style sweater that should prove an easy pick-up for spring layering, business casual, office-minded dressing and plenty of comfort when used as, say, an on-the-road layering piece when teamed with a waxed trucker jacket or a field coat.

Of course, the uses are plentiful in matters of versatile men’s style when you pick up a neutral cashmere sweater with a crewneck design that wears as fashionably over a crisp white Oxford shirt and dark blue jeans as it does over a crewneck tee with stretch chinos for a mix of effortless, high-low style.

And while some men’s cashmere sweaters can prove expensive, the Mott and Bow Classic Cashmere Bergen Crew is marked down now by about 20 percent, with sizes running from Extra Small to 2XL. Options aplenty abound, as do chances to style the Mott and Bow Classic Cashmere Bergen Crew with everything from dark blue Mott and Bow men’s jeans to the company’s selection of stylish stretch jeans or even jeans in faded shades of grey or spring-friendly light wash blue.

A new season brings with it a new outlook in matters of style and the best menswear, does it not? Or perhaps, it’s a bit of a fresh take on the classics you know and love, retooled for a new season. These are fresh spins on foundational staples, like one of the best buttondown shirts for men — as crisp and breezy to wear to a backyard BBQ as at the office when you select the right one, you very well might find what you’re looking for at Huckberry via the company’s in-house, utterly fantastic and foundational Flint and Tinder line of menswear.

The roster at Flint and Tinder is packed with Americana-tinged staples like rugged waxed trucker jackets, vintage-inspired denim jackets, dusty faded denim, eye-catching patterned short-sleeve shirts, and the one, the only, the near-perfect Flint and Tinder Draftsman Shirt.

Over the years, my Flint and Tinder reviews have covered a bit of everything from the modern fan-favorite, with plenty more where that came from in store. The brand looks to everything from the American West to East Coast Ivy prep for style inspiration, and it shows in a lineup of A-to-Z menswear favorites you can practically mix and match (especially the brand’s best-selling Flint and Tinder 365 Pants alongside picks like the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Shirt.

Now, with heat on the horizon and around the corner, the Flint and Tinder Poplin Draftsman Shirt lightens things up considerably while keeping the same classic silhouette and style points top of mind. This crisp, expertly cut takes on the character of a shirt, as Huckberry says, worn reliably by Mid-Century architects (perfect for rolling up your sleeves and getting to work, my friends).

With its nicely cut and face-framing buttondown collar and chest pocket for casual style points and visual appeal, this shirt is practically a do-it-all shirt (even able to be worn with a soft-shouldered blazer and linen trousers this season). Even the chest pocket boasts contrast stitching and an old-school pen slot for real-world utility.

Plus, the Flint and Tinder Poplin Draftsman Shirt is also garment washed for softness right out of the Huckberry bag or box — comfort in every stitch, my friends.

Your new favorite buttondown shirt also comes in a range of colors so engaging and stylish (including a Wide Blue Utility Stripe, timeless White and an earthy Olive Three-Check pattern). If I were you, I’d certainly consider picking up more than one color or pattern, then teaming them up with crisply cut stretch chinos in a variety of contrasting colors — among other ways you can rock the Flint and Tinder Poplin Draftsman Shirt. Style in the heat has never looked so good, or been so easy — at least, that’s my experience wearing Huckberry, my friends.

Does it ever seem like the market for men’s blue jeans is a bit crowded at times? Perhaps — from classic denim producers to department stores and high-fashion brands — but that makes it all the more special when a company cuts through the clutter and stands above the rest (head and shoulders, one might say!) when it comes to delivering the best selvedge jeans for men (and more!).

Find your new favorite blue jeans for men here

That’s the idea at the root of the Friday Find series, as we say – diving into brands that might fly under the radar from time to time, but are every bit as worthy of a coveted spot in your wardrobe as your tried-and-true favorites. And if you’re a denimhead, you very well likely know the stellar denim and menswear producers at Hiroshi Kato. If not? This Friday is as prime a time as any to dive into your new favorite pair of blue jeans.

Over the past few weeks or so, I’ve had the chance to step into a standout pair of Hiroshi Kato men’s denim, a cult favorite offering that I’d heard about frequently from in-the-know menswear fans and lovers of the best denim for men all across the board. So when the folks at Hiroshi Kato reached out about testing out a pair of finely crafted selvedge denim, I certainly had to take ’em up on that offer — how could you not, ehh?

Of course, I’ve written a Hiroshi Kato men’s denim review over at WERD.com, but this one was a chance every bit as special to trot out some of the coolest men’s blue jeans all around Brooklyn (as you might have seen on my Instagram!).

For my latest men’s denim review and another foray into the world of Hiroshi Kato selvedge denim, I selected a pair of the Scissors Slim Tapered, crafted from rich, durable yet supple 10.5 Ace selvedge. As the good folks at the USA-made denim producer say, these handsome and rugged yet versatile jeans rely on “vintage fade Indigo Japanese 10.5oz 4-way stretch selvedge,” finished off with eye-catching details like a custom back hip leather patch and the company’s custom-branded hardware.

Best blue jeans for men.

Denim from my friends at Hiroshi Kato is a sight to behold and even better to wear — utterly classic, remarkably well-designed, made to get better over time and offered in a wide variety of washes, fits and styles. There’s an almost stunning array of men’s blue jeans on offer at Hiroshi Kato, as I’ve found out over the years — and I’ve got plenty more to dive into from one of the best men’s blue jean producers on the market.

The Thursday Buy: This Billy Reid Seersucker Shirt will Keep You Cool In Breezy, Stylish Fashion This Season

Billy Reid menswear review.

It truly takes one to know one, and by that I mean, if you often struggle with the heat in the summer and want to figure out how to stay cool while looking stylish for guys, well, you very well might be in luck today.

While your fall and winter menswear essentials are all about burly, rugged layers aplenty, those spring style essentials you’re searching for are all about breezy, dependable comfort and keeping cool as things heat from up — from the office to a work conference to evening happy hours and summer weddings, I’d wager you’ll find the Billy Reid Seersucker Cedar Shirt a crisp, reliable companion from one of the best menswear designers in America.

Learn more and shop new spring menswear at Billy Reid

Of course, you very well know Billy Reid if you keep up with the pages of this blog — that’s because he crafts a bit of everything, from stylish long-sleeve polos to effortless chinos, the peacoat worn by James Bond (yes, it’s true!) and sturdy denim shirts with plenty of heritage.

The designer simply makes it look easy, and with the Billy Reid Seersucker Cedar Shirt, you might say he’s using style inspiration from the deep South (the company is based in Alabama, after all) blended with the need to stay cool in the sweltering heat itself.

And that leads us to the polished but breezy, easygoing but useful and refined Billy Reid Seersucker Cedar Shirt, which takes the brand’s Cedar Shirt silhouette (normally delivered in seasonally friendly corduroy) and turns it into textural, soft and lightweight seersucker.

The puckered fabric effect of seersucker helps air flow more properly around the garment, making it a prime choice for suiting fabrication in the warmer months. The same can surely be said of the Billy Reid Seersucker Cedar Shirt, which comes in a neutral, fashionable shade of Olive as well as a vibrant, summer-friendly Blue tone.

The spread collar offers a crisp finish that wears as well with chino shorts as with linen trousers and leather loafers for more formal seasonal occasions, while the famed menswear designer finished the shirt with mother-of-pearl buttons and the company’s signature ribbon stripe detailing at the bottom hem.

Yes, as with other things in the Billy Reid universe, the details have been taken care of fine fashion — to say the very least. With a standard fit and a cut designed to look as stylish untucked as when tucked in beneath a lightweight summer blazer, there are plenty of stylish seasonal takeaways from Billy Reid — and yes, that very much includes the Billy Reid Seersucker Cedar Shirt, my friends. Cheers to the season at hand, and cheers to warm-weather style made easy.

The Tuesday Steal: Huckberry’s Classic Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are On Sale Now in Time For Prime Spring Style

There are difficult decisions to make in the menswear world — the right shade or style of suit to wear to a wedding, the best way to style a denim shirt, how to find a proper-fitting pair of shorts, and so on — and there are decisions that should be relatively easy. Or at least, decisions that can be made easier by knowing where and when to turn, and as it just so happens, figuring out your favorite pair of everyday pants can be made even easier than one might think.

Yes, it’s true, and it’s all thanks to the slew of menswear classics being served up by Huckberry in modern fashion — the best men’s pants are closer to your grasp than ever before, and they’re on sale today, my friends.

Find out more and shop now at Huckberry

I’m talking, of course, about the famed Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, an icon of the famed Americana menswear and gear brand, with the ability to be worn just about any way you can dream up. They’re a staple of the fan-favorite, in-house Huckberry brand, notable for blending the cut of a pair of five-pocket pants or classic chinos with the easygoing wearability of denim — all in a custom-made fabric developed by Huckberry with durability, stretch, shape and style all at the forefront. Enticing stuff these days, ehh?

And what’s even better, naturally, is that the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, at least in a crisp and dressy Dark Navy, are marked down below $80 right now at Huckberry. And as you look to build out your everyday menswear wardrobe, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants could prove the most versatile pair of pants you own.

Better still is the fact that the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants can be had for an additional 15 percent off if you buy two pairs at a time — something this Brooklyn menswear writer would certainly recommend. You’re also getting plenty of utility from this blend of a chino and a jean (truly made for 365 days of wear) — these stylish men’s pants come in five distinct fit options to suit every style and body type, while the midweight 8oz. brushed cotton twill fabric is offset by a touch of stretch for all day wearability.

And about that wearability and utility: The Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are as easy to wear with a soft-shouldered blazer and an Oxford shirt as they are with a henley and a light wash denim trucker jacket this season, while they’re also a more-than-suitable option alongside a cotton polo with leather loafers in the warmer months.

My friends at Huckberry perhaps said it best when it comes down to these easily wearable, everyday men’s pants: “The 65 Chino Pant is cut like a chino and stretches like a performance pant.” It sounds simple on the surface, but Huckberry has perfected that formula — try a pair of the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants while they’re on sale, and see that for yourself, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: These Amberjack Suede Chukka Boots are Some of the Most Comfortable Chukka Boots You Can Wear This Spring

Most comfortable chukka boots for men.

For as much as spring is about stepping back into stylish sneakers and embracing the lighter climes of the season, there’s still a plethora of style essentials you should consider keeping handy — essentials that are as useful now as they are come fall, like a pair of the best suede chukka boots.

Spring is a transitional time, where it might still be brisk and breezy on some days, and a pair of reliable chukka boots could deliver the proper mix of style points, comfort and support. That idea of blending comfort and support with style points is at the core of the best chukka boots for men, like the ones on offer from New York City upstarts Amberjack.

Learn more now at Amberjack

You’re likely familiar with the brand from perusing the pages of this blog, as the company has long said it makes “the world’s most comfortable dress shoes,” and I’d tend to agree after wear-testing yet another pair of Amberjack men’s shoes via the Amberjack Chukka Boots in Grizzly Suede.

Of course, we last talked about how Amberjack has stepped into making some of the most comfortable sneakers on the market, but these boots should prove of particular interest if you want a pair of shoes that toe the line between dressy and casual, crisp shoes that can wear as easily with light wash denim as with olive chinos — that’s what the Amberjack Chukka Boots in Grizzly Suede offer up, at least in my experience wearing the famously comfortable brand.

The real key with the Amberjack Chukka Boots in Grizzly Suede is the athletic outsole built with dual functionality for rebound and support — yet, the overall look is more tailored and streamlined than that of a typical dress sneaker or hybrid dress-sneaker boot.

These also feature anti-slip traction across the outsole, with a durable TPU construction and a soft-impact heel — for hours on my feet at a recent late winter wedding, these stylish men’s chukka boots proved more than comfortable (and stylish!).

Amberjack chukka boots review.

The heat-activated insole on these Amberjack chukka boots and other chukka boots molds to your foot without proving too overbearing (I’ve found that some other removable insoles can run a bit too thick). In matters of style points, I appreciate the slightly taller shaft height and the crisp four-eyelet construction, lending them a dressier feel than desert boots or other types of chukka boots.

Of course, in matters of style points, you can find these Amberjack men’s boots in four other shades of leather, but the Amberjack Chukka Boots in Grizzly Suede are my pick of the moment for the best chukka boots for men. When you lace up your own pair, I think you’ll feel the difference almost immediately.
