See Now, Buy Now: The Line of Trade Short-Sleeve Guide Shirt Is a True Homage to a Menswear Classic

Best short-sleeve shirts for men.

For as much as there’s a time and a place for going a bit more bold in matters of style, especially in the breezy, vibrant climes of summer, the rugged classics tend to more than pull their weight, from coastal vacations to day hikes, backyard BBQs, brewery visits and plain old backyard lounging.

A knit sweater polo or a breezy linen shirt have their place in a menswear rotation, but if you ask this writer, it’s sometimes advisable to reach for something rugged, functional and yet eye-catching in its classic looks — a shirt your father or grandfather might have worn, which seems to be the aim of Americana-focused Line of Trade, the offshoot brand of our good friends at Bespoke Post.

From its cozy flannel shirts and hard-wearing sherpa-lined trucker jackets in the fall and winter to its mix of retro camp collar shirts and sturdy workshirts fit for the spring and summer, Line of Trade captures a throwback sense of style from days gone by, and the Line of Trade Short-Sleeve Guide Shirt certainly fits the bill in fine form.

It even calls to mind an outdoor-ready brand like Filson, as Line of Trade calls this handsome and useful number “short sleeve utility shirt with workwear DNA,” using a jaspe woven 100 percent heathered cotton. Built out with two front-flap button chest pockets, there’s a hard-working air to the Line of Trade Short-Sleeve Guide Shirt, which would wear as well with drawstring lounge shorts at a lakeside retreat as with lightweight hiking pants out on the trail.

Consider it simple but effective and effortlessly crafted for the right price — the Line of Trade Short-Sleeve Guide Shirt (available in an earthy Tan Jaspe and a chambray-like Bue Jaspe) retails for a mere $75, a standout deal if ever I’ve seen one. The fit on your new favorite short-sleeve shirt should prove classic and easy to wear on its own or layered over a short-sleeve henley, with an eye-catching heathered weave for a dash of off-the-clock style.

Don’t overlook the need to add some reliable, everyday style to your rotation, as the Line of Trade Short-Sleeve Guide Shirt offers a classic option compared to more vibrant printed shirts, and that’s all the more reason to pick up some stylish menswear from Line of Trade and Bespoke Post in the high heat of summer.

The Tuesday Steal: These Versatile Hybrid Loafers from Huckberry and LUCA Can Be Yours at the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale

These days, it seems dress codes and style norms are constantly in flux. What used to apply to five days in the week dressed in smart casual or business casual style, or even fully suited up, has become more relaxed — yet no less polished and stylish, if you happen to be doing things the right way.

That applies to your footwear as well as your stretch chinos or your performance blazer — comfort, style, stretch fabric and a sense of hybrid style are the new dress code for the smart modern man.

And while there’s a time and a place for traditional, classic men’s dress shoes and loafers, what if you’re seeking even more comfort mixed in with classic good looks. Brands are continually amping up the focus on both sneaker-like performance underfoot and crisp style up top (just look at brands like Amberjack), and your friends at Huckberry are getting in on the fun, too.

Shop your new favorite seasonal gear at Huckberry

Far from a hybrid sneaker-dress shoe, Huckberry worked with in-house brand LUCA on versatile loafers that nail the right balance of hybrid performance and effortlessly cool good looks — as you can see above. Better still, in my experience, is the fact that the LUCA Terra Loafers are up for grabs at a discount during the covetable Huckberry Annual Summer Sale — the quest for loafers that look as stylish at the office as they do at a summer BBQ is now over, at least for the time being, my friends.

That’s because there are hidden gems aplenty tucked within Huckberry’s bigget sale of the summer, with a strategy you can put to good use — that is, take stock of your wardrobe and your footwear rotation, and then be mightily impressed when Huckberry has something that fits the bill, like the easily wearable and ultra-comfortable LUCA Terra Loafers.

The key is using an ultra-comfortable, lightweight yet durable Lactae Hevea rubber outsole underneath a moc toe-stitched, Italian suede upper (among other options in which you can score these stylish men’s loafers).

And as Huckberry says, it’s impressive that you can score the LUCA Terra Loafers with plenty of out-of-the-box comfort for just about 20 percent off right now, all with the ability to be worn with everything from linen trousers to drawstring lounge shorts and a pocket tee.

When it comes to your new favorite loafers, don’t overthink it — Huckberry’s sale section is the place to go right now to find endlessly fashionable selections like the LUCA Terra Loafers, my friends.

The Friday Find: Gear Up for Your Next Road Trip With this Bradley Mountain Ranger Leather Duffle

Best leather duffle bag for men.

The call of the great outdoors beckons, does it not? And for as much thought as you’ve put into your next getaway, be it the all-American road trip or a simple lakeside retreat, even the most perfect itinerary doesn’t quite pass muster if it’s not bolstered by the right assortment of menswear and the best men’s travel gear, yes?

And as I always tend to say, getting from point A to point B can be made all the better, all that much easier, if you’re packing up a durable duffle bag made with extreme care and attention to detail. It keeps the gear you love safe, it adds some stylish panache to your travel #OOTD, and serves a purpose as functional as it is fashionable (at least, when done the right way).

The style and gear purveyors at USA-made Bradley Mountain deliver on that promise in covetable fashion and with heirloom quality in mind, and those words ring true — if you’ve tried Bradley Mountain travel gear, you’re already familiar, but if you’re willing to step up to the plate and invest in the best, then you’ve come to the right place.

Founded in 2012, the company specializes in all manner of adventure-ready gear and rugged provisions, from sturdy waxed tool rolls to eye-catching wallets and dopp kits (among other travel accessories), plus an enviable lineup of all-American shirting and outerwear.

Based in Columbia, TN, the outfitter looks to put a modern spin on adventure — think durable fabrication, USA-made construction and crisp updates to timeless silhouettes, all designed to help you get out on the trail and the road. At least in my experience, the Bradley Mountain Leather Ranger Duffle can help set you on the right path. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

The Bradley Mountain Leather Ranger Duffle updates the company’s flagship Ranger Duffle in a handsome and hard-wearing leather construction, the kind that should prove sturdy yet supple with repeat use (and with an even better patina developing over time). As the company sagely notes, “this is the most elevated bag we have made to date,” and they achieved that by using USA milled harness leather, solid brass and copper hardware and a waxed canvas lining.

A number of pockets give this stylish duffle bag real carrying capacity (it clocks in at 20″ long and 10″ wide), with an interior zipper pocket and snap exterior pockets to round out your everyday carry. Best of all is the fact that yes, this bag will only get better with age, telling a true story of adventure and long-lasting appeal — your next summer excursion is only the beginning, in my book.

The Thursday Buy: Bespoke Post and Rancourt Just Teamed Up On Some of the Coolest Summer Shoes

Just when you thought you had your summer footwear rotation all figured out, Bespoke Post enters the fray once more, delivering some of the coolest shoes for men in the process. At least, that’s this writer’s take as one examines the rugged, exceptionally well crafted Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Mocs, a pair of shoes that’s somewhere between a dressy loafer and a more laidback boat shoe, all the while featuring the kind of construction not found in your everyday pair of stylish men’s shoes for summer.

Find out more now at Bespoke Post

It’s exactly the sort of collaboration that’s so refreshing to see, for both your wardrobe at large and in the menswear world, as effortlessly cool NYC retailers Bespoke Post scour the market for the coolest gear for guys — and Maine-crafted Rancourt certainly passes muster in that regard.

There’s heritage quality in every stitch of these hand-sewn shoes, featuring Wisconsin leather that’s then crafted into fine form in Maine by the iconic, family-owned company. As Bespoke Post notes in fact, “the Doubleshot’s deep wax infusion builds a rich, glossy patina with wear,” making the handsome Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Mocs a pair of essential shoes for your wardrobe, whether styled with light wash jeans or stretch chino shorts and a knit polo.

Plus, a natural rubber outsole, as Bespoke Post notes, “delivers serious grip and all-day comfort underfoot,” while only 125 limited-edition pairs offer premium quality at a premium (and increasingly rare) price. The Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Mocs also feature antique brass eyelets and contrasting leather laces (not unlike the previous Bespoke Post x Rancourt shoes shown above).

Even the leather itself is weather-resistant and built to last while developing its own rich patina over time, and it’s no doubt in my mind that the Bespoke Post x Rancourt Doubleshot Ranger Moc will more than hold its own against repeat wear and tear, no matter the occasion — from the BBQ to the boardwalk and everywhere in between.

Take heed, though: Bespoke Post made just 125 pairs of these exceedingly stylish and heritage-quality moccasin shoes for men, so amp up your summer footwear rotation accordingly.

And with a straight hem, dual chest pockets and a lay-flat collar, the style is remarkably classic and sturdy in every way possible — the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Surplus Shirt is a winner in my book, whether worn with light wash jeans or even dark tan chino shorts for a subtle blend of earthy, vintage-minded style.

Taylor Stitch and Huckberry both note the perfect specs for the occasion, adding that this hard-working military shirt is pree-washed for a broken-in softness,” and all the while, as Huckberry notes, it features “a tailored fit and high armholes for a flattering silhouette.” If those specs sound agreeable when it comes to your new favorite summer shirt, I’d say it’s high time you found out about all that the Taylor Stitch Short-Sleeve Surplus Shirt has to offer, my friends.

he Pennsylvania-based brand also makes one heck of a classic trench coat. It goes without saying that American Trench basics, including T-shirts and yes, those trusty socks, are also remarkably well-made, with what I like to call a sense of difference in every stitch.

There’s both a sturdy and yet supple nature to what the brand does, especially the craft behind utterly essential menswear finds like one of the best Oxford shirts, and the company even takes some bold leaps with its summer-friendly menswear, including timeless yet visually striking Madras shirts and floral-pattern buttondowns for men.

Is there a catch to shopping at American Trench? I’d tend to say no, not least when the American Trench Fourth Of July Sale is running. In a rare turn of events, the USA-made company is serving up some savings on a wide range of eye-catching gear, from a handsome knit polo to a made-for-cool-summer-nights crewneck, patterned buttondown shirting and even a highly functional pair of Active Shorts that are as fit for a summer hike as they are for an evening lounging around the bonfire.

With a leather-lined interior and a natural gum rubber outsole, these sneakers boast a springy, ultra-comfortable feel right out of the box, while details like a reinforced toe and heel drive home the point that these are durable sneakers made to last.
