The perfect sweatshirt to step into early (early) spring? Quite nearly.
Today’s edition of The List is going to get right to the point — nothing but the classics, the greatest hits, the best takes on the best new menswear to be found on the Internet (OK, that’s a stretch … but still). Early March is an interesting time, especially in Brooklyn — any day could bring everything from rain to warm breezes to (gulp) snow … so you’ll find one of the best crewneck sweatshirts in the mix as seen above, along with plenty of your new favorite menswear picks (again, all classics). OK, let’s go to work.
Flint and Tinder 10-Year French Terry Crewneck — $88
A classic crewneck that’s as versatile as it gets.
When the folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder put their minds to releasing one of the best men’s crewneck sweatshirts, you can be sure they’re going to, well, succeed. The 10-Year French Terry Crewneck will last at least that long, so be prepared to get plenty of wear out of it.
HELM Boots Railroad Boots — $395
Durable, rugged boots that’ll only get better (and better) with age.
OK, so you know what goes exceptionally well with one of the best men’s crewneck sweatshirts? A great pair of rugged leather boots, particularly from HELM Boots.

Faherty Brand Movement Shirt — $148
A tailored, versatile everyday dress shirt from Faherty Brand.
Every guy needs a versatile everyday shirt — the kind you can wear with, say, a stylish crewneck and leather boots as well as with a slim spring blazer and chinos (more on your blazer in a second). The Faherty Brand Movement Shirt is, in that regard, the perfect everyday shirt.
Vetra Broken Twill Blazer — $135.98
A classic, casual-yet-versatile men’s blazer for spring.
In the way of men’s style essentials, it’s tough to top a lightweight blazer for spring. Apt for wearing with your favorite Oxford shirt or else layered up with a classic crewneck sweatshirt for casual style, the Vetra Broken Twill Blazer just gets the job done.
Mott and Bow Laight Slim Jeans — $118
The slim light wash jeans you’ll want to wear all spring.
As we move into spring, there’s one style of essential men’s jeans that begins to separate itself from the pack — a pair of stylish light wash jeans, especially a well-made and reasonably priced pair from Mott and Bow.
Taylor Stitch Piston Jacket in Indigo Corduroy — $188
A classic and seriously cool jacket from Taylor Stitch.
Can the team at Taylor Stitch ever stop churning out some of the best new menswear on the planet? Apparently not, because the Taylor Stitch Piston Jacket, featuring a classic bomber construction and rich indigo-dyed corduroy for spring layering … is simply one of the coolest men’s jackets your author has seen in some time.
Jack Mason Aviator Watch — $195
The tough construction and easily wearable watch to buy now.

Western Rise X Cotton Everyday Tee — $48
A classic cotton tee made with innovative fabric.
Is it T-shirt weather yet? Maybe so — and that’s why you need one of the best men’s T-shirts, particularly this versatile piece from Western Rise. It’s made from cotton, polyester and spandex, making it perhaps the perfect T-shirt for travel (and of course, the everyday).
Beard oil made with Budweiser? You better believe it.
Hawthorne Face Lotion — Price Varies
Some of the best face lotion to buy right now.
The folks at Hawthorne — who I’ve previously covered at The Manual — continue to expand their line of men’s grooming essentials with a seriously effective moisturizer, made in part with shea butter. It’s some of the best moisturizer I’ve used in some time, so I’d say you should take the brand’s quiz to tailor your skincare routine expertly.
