The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is quite simply a do-it-all, goes-with-almost-anything casual shirt with style points aplenty to spare. Crafted from a ultra-soft yet sturdy 100 percent cotton flannel fabric, the company itself says “Line of Trade custom-designed the Summit Plaid Flannel Shirt’s exclusive patterns for a lineup of flannels that’s a touch above ordinary – and unlike none other.” Of course, that’s high praise, but in my experience wearing the handsome Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, the brand lives up to its billing — and then some.

As we’ve talked about in recent days, the simply stellar Huckberry Annual Winter Sale is packed with all kinds of durable, rugged and classic adventure gear for the modern man. And in the interest of time, there’s at least one stylish men’s winter jacket you should be shopping at a serious discount: The Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is the best of the best at what the Ohio-based makers at Relwen do, at least in my experience.

The company leans on heritage styles like the hiker-approved down jacket as inspiration for the coolest, most useful and modern gear of today.

That’s lofty praise, but I’d wager that in terms of lightweight performance, the Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket definitely punches above its weight, and then some (better still is the fact that the hard-wearing Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is discounted down to $243 from $348 — savings and style rolled into one functional package, my friends. Weighing in at a mere 9.3 oz., the outdoor gear company notes this sleek yet ultra-warm jacket is already “the lightest winter-ready Relwen jacket ever,” built with handy details like a two-way center front zipper and three pockets for your everyday carry.

The placket is even reinforced with herringbone for improved durability, while plastic snaps offer quiet performance, Relwen notes. Meanwhile, a reinforced collar teams nicely with a stand-up design for comfort and protection from the wind. It’s but one of many must-shop discounts within the digital pages of the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, but it could prove the most useful and dependable at offering standout protection from the cold. Try one on for size while options are available in one of four retro-minded colors, my friends. Good luck out there, and as ever, stay stylish.

My past Devium menswear reviews on this blog have delved into a bit of everything, from the brand’s strong but supple T-shirts and short-sleeve buttondowns to its hard-wearing waxed jackets, tough-as-nails flannel shirts and sturdy base layers like one of the best henleys for men.

The Thursday Buy: This Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt Puts a Modern Shine on a Tried-and-True Heritage Classic

If it’s respite from the winter weather you seek, at least in terms of the best seasonal menswear — menswear that’ll keep you cozy and stylish all in one fell swoop — then we just might have the perfect prescription in matters of rugged style today here on this Brooklyn menswear blog. It arrives by way of Taylor Stitch, an iconic modern brand with a razor-sharp focus on the classics, all updated for the stylish man of today (that’s you!), as we talk about one of the best shirt jackets for men.

Head to Taylor Stitch now

In addition to its standout roster of expertly crafted Oxford and flannel shirt, plus coastal-inspired sweaters, standout Japanese selvedge denim and even everyday carry accessories to compete with the very best of ’em, Taylor Stitch has a knack for taking throwback outerwear designs and giving them a fresh coat of paint, so to speak.

Taylor Stitch menswear review.

Take the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt, a new arrival via the San Francisco brand, one that hits the market just in time for layering in the cold (perhaps underneath a topcoat or even a rugged waxed parka in this brisk weather these days). The Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt nods to old-school Chief Petty Officer jackets, this time done up in organic herringbone cotton twill-wool blend in a rich Indigo Herringbone Ash fabrication — that’s how the old-school becomes modern, at least in terms of color and design.

There are classic specs and design inspiration aplenty across the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt, including notched flap chest pockets for your EDC, plus a crisp blue-grey color thanks to the use of both cotton twill and wool in the construction process. Taylor Stitch notes the handsome Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt is cut to layer, so feel free to ramp things up with a thermal undershirt or your favorite henley (another menswear essential that Taylor Stitch also does a stellar job at crafting).

And because it’s Taylor Stitch we’re talking about here, the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt features the brand’s signature, face-framing California collar, plus mitered shirt cuffs allowing for a slight dash of improved mobility.

While this handsome overshirt isn’t your only line of defense against the cold, it’s a heritage-minded piece ready to more than pull its weight as a strong mid-layer beneath a topcoat or a waxed field jacket, or perhaps as a finishing touch as you relax in front of the fire, fine dram in hand this season. The classics remain the classics for a reason, and the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt is a modern way to look at a menswear iconc.

See Now, Buy Now: These Proof Rover Work Pants from Huckberry are Ready for Winter’s Worst

Best work pants for men.

If your neck of the woods looks anything like mine these days, I’m willing to bet you’re dealing with your fair share of frigid wind, deep snow and foul conditions aplenty. And yet, the work doesn’t stop, be it your winter to-do list or the ever-mounting need to shovel snow, dig yourself out and perhaps get back to the office.

For whatever’s in your way and whatever happens to be on your to-do list, the best workwear can handle it all — and then some. The best work pants for men, while not traditional snow pants you’d wear on a mountain, are more than equipped to take on the task at hand, especially if the sturdy work pants for men are the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants, which blend form and function in a reliably rugged way from the good folks at Huckberry. Better still is the fact that you can save 15 percent on your purchase of two pairs — but let’s dive into why you’d want to do that, shall we?

There’s always much to love in the way of durable winter gear, performance-minded menswear and tough-as-nails supplies in the digital shelves at Huckberry, and the road-ready Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should more than pass muster. Proof delivers adventure-minded performance menswear under the Huckberry umbrella, from its famed 72-Hour Merino T-Shirts (truly worn for three days of hard-working off-grid excursions) to the fan-favorite Proof Rover Pants, which my Proof reviews have covered here on this Brooklyn style blog.

Best work pants for men.

The hard-working Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants share much of the same DNA as the flagship Proof Rover Pants, starting with their fabrication. Your new favorite winter pants feature a tough-as-can-be cotton-blend, recycled poly fabric construction that regulates your temperature, boasts just enough useful stretch and wicks away moisture at the same time. Talk about a laundry list of features designed to move with you and make tackling your to-do list all that much easier.

Lest we forget, the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants feature reinforced construction at key stress points through the thigh and knee, plus riveted pockets for an ultra-sturdy finish. In my experience wearing the Proof Rover Pants, the pigment-dye finish makes these rugged work pants for men surprisingly sturdy and yet supple out of the box, all the better to mold to your body over time.

Of course, whether layered up with a thermal henley and a wool-lined waxed trucker jacket or styled with a burly crewneck sweater and a barn coat, the dependable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should move easily with you, thanks to the gusseted crotch. Huckberry even built out the forward-thinking Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants with a back waistband pocket for your everyday carry.

Shop men’s pants and more at Huckberry

Rounding things out is the fact that some of the best men’s work pants come in three proprietary Huckberry fits, including an Athletic Tapered fit (my personal favorite) and a crisp Slim fit — not to fear though, as the reliable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should still readily team with pull-on work boots or Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots. Don’t delay snapping up your new go-to work pants — they can handle winter’s worst, and then some.

If you keep up with the digital pages of this Brooklyn style blog, you’ll know I’m a huge fan of the Americana-inspired, utterly classic, rugged-meets-refined stylings of the legendary Reid, who’s been designing heirloom-quality menswear across the board for well over two decades. That goes for the peacoat worn by James Bond as readily as it does the timeless Billy Reid Shoals Denim Shirt, an expertly crafted spin on a Western favorite.

See Now, Buy Now: Pair This Rugged Tecovas Sweater with Your Favorite Western Boots This Winter

Tecovas menswear review.

As we bundle up with increasing fervor across the frigid winter months, it’s important to remember — at least in my experience — that having a bit of fun in the process of scouring the market for winter style essentials is, well, also important. So, while you might have figured out your outerwear situation and ideally, the best winter boots on your feet, it pays off to have a touch of fun or at least a touch of the unexpected in your layering rotation.

That’s where Tecovas comes in: As fun as it is to step out in a pair of rugged Tecovas work boots or the brand’s ever-popular Western boots, it’s perhaps even cooler to discover something a bit unexpected, like one of the best winter sweaters for men. The Austin-based brand has shot to popularity across the past decade for embodying all things Western in matters of style and substance, and a rugged winter sweater like the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater can add a dash of dependability, flair and style to everything from a waxed trucker jacket to a flannel shirt jacket.

Shop men’s sweaters and more at Tecovas

Helpfully, the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater is unexpected, it’s eye-catching and it’s built to last at a relatively fair price ($145 as of press time). Paired up with your favorite pair of handsome, durable Tecovas leather Western boots — of which the brand makes dozens of different styles — and you’ve got a stylish sweater you can layer up in versatile fashion.

Crafted from midweight Merino wool for temperature regulation and plenty of warmth (whether paired with a chambray shirt or straightforward long-sleeve cotton tee), this sweater gains variety from its half-cardigan stitch construction through the body. Pair that with shoulder and back yoke seed stitch detailing, plus rack stitching at the cuffs and hem — this handsome sweater is visually appealing all the way through, especially in Winter White.

Best of all is the attention to detail in constructing the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater — note the cow skull motif emblazoned across the back in bold, rugged fashion. It’s a one-of-a-kind sweater available in two crisp colors and practically made to be paired with expertly crafted light wash or dark blue jeans (which you can also score at Tecovas, as luck would have it!). The next time opportunity comes knocking in the form of a reliable sweater to layer up with during winter’s worst weather, I’d wager the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater is about as good as it gets.
