Does the search for versatile men’s style essentials ever really end? Y’know, the type of pieces you can count on season after season? My inclination is … nope, not really. That’s why we’re back again today with another edition of The List, packed with what are sure to be some of your new favorite pieces. Witness, among other picks: The rugged denim jacket that’s built for bonfires,  stylish dress pants for your next summer wedding, and some surefire men’s grooming essentials. That’s just to start. Let’s get to it!

Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket — $168

A classically rugged denim jacket for summer nights.

A rugged denim jacket is your secret summer style move for breezy days and nights — the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket is absolutely the one you need. Wear it with slim tan chinos and a white slub T-shirt.
Taylor Stitch Telegraph Trousers in Evergreen — $148

Slim trousers, perfectly able to be worn to your next summer wedding.

What are you wearing to that mid-summer wedding? Hopefully, a pair of tailored trousers as stylish and well-cut as the Taylor Stitch Telegraph Trousers, perhaps paired with stylish brown leather brogues.
Ratio Coffee Ratio Eight Coffee Maker — $464.98
Ratio Coffee Maker

The nicest coffee maker you can buy right now? Nearly.

I’m admittedly a sucker for a good cup of coffee — and this Ratio coffee maker brews a DAMN fine cup of coffee. Is the Ratio Eight Coffee Maker a menswear essential, per se? Not quite. But it’ll certainly give you a pep in your step.
Free Fly Bamboo Henley — $60

A comfortable henley made with performance and rugged style in mind.

Never underestimate the power of a rugged henley when it comes to providing comfort and layering potential on cool summer nights — especially when worn with that Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket.

Make things easy on your face in the morning (and in the evening) with the handy Bespoke Post Skincare Kit. All the men’s grooming essentials you need, delivered in one convenient package.
Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots — $320

A grail-worthy pair of leather boots — absolutely worth the investment.

If you read the blog on the regular, you know I’m an advocate for buying rugged leather boots any time of year — even if it’s a few months before you have to break ’em out. The Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots are simply … beautiful.
Instrmnt 01-B Watch — $240

A simple, clean dress watch you should wear to happy hour, the office and anywhere in between.

The best designs are sometimes the most simple. Case in point: The Instrmnt 01-B Watch. It’s sleek, it’s dressy and yet, it’s surprisingly versatile. Heck, you could even use this stylish dress watch as a touch of pared-down constrast to the rugged Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots. What say you?
Howler Brothers Gaucho Snapshirt — $89

Throw this shirt on with dark denim and tough leather boots for your next brewery trip or bar crawl.

Looking for a shirt that blends a technical edge with easygoing style? The Howler Brothers Gaucho Snapshirt, with its poly-nylon blend and cool plaid pattern, is the stylish casual shirt you need for summer.
Taylor Stitch Sun Cap in Whitewash — $55

A grab-and-go ballcap for summer adventures.

It’s not too often that you find a ballcap free of logos or unnecessary adornment, but Taylor Stitch has quite helpfully come up with the Sun Cap in Whitewash. I’d wear this stylish ballcap on a boat or to the beach.
Flint and Tinder City Slub Tee — $32

Pay homage to the Midwest — or wherever you happen to be from — with these Flint and Tinder tees.

My love for my home state and the Midwest shines through here — the Flint and Tinder line of City Slub Tees  represent well-crafted thoughtful additions to your T-shirt drawer either way. And hey, the City Slub Tee layers quite nicely under … yep, the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket.

OK, my friends. I know it’s a tough call, but what’s your favorite on this list of summer style essentials? For me, it’s gotta be the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket — it’s durable, it’s rugged and it can be worn any way you please. Want to see other editions of The List?
