It’s critical, at least in this day and age (in this economy!) to know when to level up your footwear game and your menswear rotation in general with the types of pieces you can truly invest in and wear for years — yes, years — on end. Only a choice few brands truly pass muster in that regard as far as high-quality, dependable, durable gear is concerned, a test that becomes all the more critical when it comes down to the footwear you lace up every single days.

Viberg boasts exceptional Canadian heritage dating back to the 1930s, especially the Viberg Service Boot, an icon from the company and perhaps the gold standard as far as derby-style boots are concerned. In fact, as Viberg says of the incredibly well-made, remarkably tough and reliable Viberg Service Boots, the pattern for these boots “is a classic 6″ derby boot, which is one of the most versatile patterns available,” with deep roots for hard work outside, as the company further notes.

The style remains as rugged and hard-wearing as ever, featuring the company’s “nailed construction” for a sturdy outsole and workwear-approved performance.

In fact, with the modern rendition of the Viberg Service Boots, the company still does things the old-fashioned way, a true must when it comes to consistently crafting the best boots for men. They use stitchdown construction for a hard-wearing outer vamp that delivers weather resistance underfoot, while the Viberg Service Boots in their many handsome, essential and stylish leathers (like the Natural Chromexcel leather used here) are also finished with premium hardware and the company’s distinctive brown ridgeway outsole for added traction.

To say that this legendary Canadian and Pacific Northwest company considered every detail when it comes to the must-buy Viberg Service Boots is perhaps an understatement. And while the Viberg Service Boots are certainly an investment at more than $1,000, they’re the kind of boots made to be worn consistently on the daily (if your dress code and schedule allows, that is). Find yourself a one-of-a-kind set of the best boots for men via the Viberg Service Boots, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: Go Casually Rugged with these New Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Jeans

It’s something we often talk about here on this menswear blog — the idea that a guy’s wardrobe should have plenty of classic selections for the utmost in versatility, from crisp and dressy selections like a classic cotton blazer or an Oxford shirt, right on down to more casually rugged picks like a pair of the best jeans for men. As someone who tends to wear denim just about every day, they’re a downright essential made to be dressed up slightly or styled in expert casual fashion.

And while some brands tend to cut corners, I’d wager that the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder have the proper formula perfected when it comes to casually rugged style, and that’s very likely an understatement if ever you’ve shopped the fan-favorite Americana retailer’s assortment, including in-house brands like F&T.

The rugged Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim boast dependable copper rivets and bar tack stitching at key stress points for the longevity you need from your favorite blue jeans, while the Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim are finished with custom Flint and Tinder hardware and a custom back suede logo patch for the ultimate in authenticity.

The Medium Wash pair should prove particularly appealing and stylish when worn with a waxed trucker jacket and a classic pocket tee, although I’d be willing to bet you can easily wear the Flint and Tinder All Cotton Selvedge Denim with an Oxford shirt and leather chukka boots for easygoing-yet-polished daily style.

Learn more and shop men’s footwear at Amberjack

If you’ve read previous Amberjack shoes reviews on this men’s style blog, then you’ll know that the brand’s specialty lies at the intersection of classic dress shoe and boot style, plus wildly useful, wearable comfort derived from athletic footwear technology. It’s an innovative approach that’s won over a number of fans (the brand bills itself as making “the world’s most comfortable dress shoes,” something I’ve found to be largely true in my experience wearing the upstart New York City brand).

So, are Amberjack shoes right for you? Better still, is a new pair of Amberjack sneakers a solid fit for your style rotation this season? Let’s take a closer look and lace ’em up, especially the newly introduced Amberjack Axis Sneakers.

As luck would have it, the Amberjack Axis Sneakers have debuted at just the right time, blending on-trend yet retro-style runner sneaker good looks with the sort of comfortable technology it seems Amberjack has largely mastered.

Designed in Brooklyn, the Amberjack Axis Sneakers pair a performance EVA midsole, complete with enhanced rubber traction, with a heat-activated insole boasting responsive, supportive and highly comfortable rebound capabilities, at least in my experience wearing Amberjack sneakers.

The Amberjack Axis Sneakers blend full-grain leather with water-repellent suede for a crisp look you can dress up slightly (try ’em with light khaki or olive chinos and a chambray shirt, based on the color you select) or dress down with dark blue jeans and a classic pocket tee. Like other Amberjack men’s shoes, the Amberjack Axis Sneakers come in a range of the brand’s signature colors, including Grizzly and Cobalt, plus an eye-catching shade of brown dubbed Walnut.

An athletic mesh lining only makes the handsome Amberjack Axis Sneakers that much more comfortable and breathable, while the anti-slip athletic outsole offers grip and traction without looking too sporty.

Priced agreeably at $185, these versatile, ultra-comfortable men’s sneakers have arrived just in time for the season at hand — and if the Amberjack Axis Sneakers are anything like the rest of the Amberjack men’s footwear lineup, your feet and your footwear rotation are in for a rare treat when it comes to blending form and function. Happy shopping, my friends.

The Triple Aught Design Stasis Jacket adds plenty to your spring gear rotation, pairing both Polartec Alpha insulation on the interior with fabrication led by a water-resistant 30 denier nylon shell. The insulation throughout is lighter in the sleeves to aid in mobility and comfort without causing you to overheat during expeditions in the field, Triple Aught Design says, while a high-coverage collar features a chin guard for added protection from the elements.

Front chest pockets also pair with a left internal chest pocket for crucial everyday carry storage, while the Triple Aught Design Stasis Jacket, as the company says, “blurs the line between everyday insulation and technical mid layer,” complete with two stylish and sleek color options. In fact, for maximum versatility, the company recommends pairing it with everything from a simple lightweight tee or used as a mid-layer beneath an overshirt.

If rugged appeal and performance is the name of the game, which it certainly is this season, then I think you’ve found the ideal jacket for lightweight utility and sleek style in spades. Make no mistake, the Triple Aught Design Stasis Jacket has you sorted out in fine form this spring.
