The Sunday Sale: Get These New Balance Sneakers for Less Than $60 At UNCRATE

As far as the best gear and menswear on the planet is concerned, you know you can count on UNCRATE, and that’s probably an understatement. That’s where the above New Balance men’s sneakers, some of the best sneakers for summer, come into play. That’s not all, though. Heck, if you keep up with the Sunday Sale series here on the blog, you know that UNCRATE is always a reliable place to get deals on everything from the best men’s henley to the Danner boots worn by James Bond. That certainly holds true for warm-weather gear, too.

With that being said, let’s get into the New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers, which you can snag right now for under $60 at the UNCRATE Surplus Shop. They’re as ideal as it gets when it comes to the best men’s sneakers, featuring a low profile, classic styling potential and of course, that critical, low price tag. What is it about these sneakers specifically? Let’s just say that it’s a bit of everything, but it starts with the iconic, timeless silhouette of these classic white leather sneakers (based off the New Balance Pro Court Tennis Shoes). These are like a more style-forward version of those shoes, with all the versatility you need in fresh summer kicks.

SHOP: The New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers

Helpfully, they also come in black leather in addition to the crisp white leather option at the top of the page, but for $59, it’s the white leather New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers I’m recommending you buy right now. UNCRATE says these sneakers represent the “ideal balance of sophistication and simplicity,” and that makes them pretty tough to top in my book. Are they your new favorite summer sneakers? They very well could be, my friends. It gets even better when you consider how durable they are for the low price tag. The New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers sit atop Fresh Foam cushioning for some serious spring in your step, not to mention the herringbone vulcanized rubber sole for added traction.

Throw in the sleek, slightly sporty design, and you’ve got a pair of sneakers you can wear with everything from classic tan chinos to some of the best men’s jeans, period. And because the New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers are so timeless, that gives you plenty of styling options on your top half, whether you go with a classic white T-shirt or with your new favorite polo for summer. See? The best sneakers for men are out there, and they’re even more affordable and wearable than you might think at first glance. Shop accordingly, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Apres Pants

As we cruise through Memorial Day weekend into the rest of summer, there are certain essential menswear brands you’ve got to keep top of mind to outfit you properly for the dog days ahead. If you read the blog on the regular, you probably know what I’m about to say next: San Francisco’s Taylor Stitch is one of the best menswear brands out there, and it just so happens that the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are, well, some of the best men’s pants to beat the heat in style all summer long. With the comfort of tailored sweatpants and the same style as, say, Taylor Stitch chinos, believe me when I say the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are a must-have pair of summer trousers.

The time is now, as in, right now, to restock your wardrobe with the best pants for men, the kind of breezy pair you can wear without a second thought, no matter how hot it gets out there (and no matter what’s on your summer agenda for each and every weekend). The key, as with classics like a Taylor Stitch indigo shirt or the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee, comes with the unique blend of durable construction, breezy style and versatile good looks. It’s a trio of must-haves that Taylor Stitch gets right over and over again. Let me put it this way: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are the answer to the question, “What pants can I wear when it’s hot out?” and man, do they ever answer it decisively.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants

The great thing about the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants is the fact that, first and foremost, they wear like your breeziest, most comfortable pair of sweatpants…and yet, they’re not the sweats you’ve been wearing for over a year at this point. No sir, the best pants for men are made from an organic cotton double cloth that’s been heavily washed for a lived-in feel right from the start, and the indigo dye will wear in nicely over time.

The front slash pockets aren’t all that different from your favorite chinos (same thing with the back patch button pockets), and yet, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants channel perfectly laidback comfort and style all the same. The elastic waistband is a touch that works nicely for relaxed days at home or days about town (wear the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee and a Taylor Stitch denim jacket, and no one will be all the wiser that you’re not wearing a belt). It’s that ideal blend of utility and dependable style, at home or on Zoom calls or at your favorite brewery, that makes these some of the best pants for men this summer. You can count on Taylor Stitch’s pants when you need them the most, so it’s time to add ’em to your shopping cart.

The Friday Read: Memorial Day Weekend Sales, A Craft Beer Discount & How to Wear Chukka Boots

Crack open a cold one from Threes Brewing, like the beers shown above (more on that in a second!) and join me in starting off the summer right. Thanks for being here for another Friday Read, as we roll into Memorial Day weekend and kick off the season ahead with plenty of the best gear picks and Memorial Day sales. Hopefully, you’ve been following my sage advice on the blog, be it the best way to wear chukka boots for summer, or else, the best summer menswear to shop at Taylor Stitch. What’s a great summer without the best gear for all of your off-trail, on-trail, in-water or on-land adventures, right? Yes, yes indeed. Of course, all of that adventure makes a guy thirsty, does it not? And it’s with that in mind that I’ll share one of the Memorial Day deals I’m most excited about.

You should head over to Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing, one of my favorite breweries on the planet, and use the code BEAU10 to get 10 percent off your first order of $50 or more from Threes Brewing. That includes only beer, not merch or food, for NYC delivery, brewery pick-up/to-go, or shipping to more than 20 states — what an excellent way to stock your fridge with crisp, flavorful lagers, delicious IPAs and so much more.

Again, that code is BEAU10 for 10 percent off, and it’ll have that beer fridge or cooler stocked quite well for the weekend and season ahead. Cheers to Memorial Day weekend — I hope you’re able to enjoy some time off with family and friends. I know I’ll be looking forward to snagging some cold beers myself at Threes Brewing.

Of course, I’ll be taking care of some writing for Jacob Graye and plenty of other sites, too. Be sure to give my byline at Jacob Graye a read there for all things men’s gear, footwear and more. Cheers, my friends!

I’d be remiss not to mention the Huckberry Memorial Day Weekend Sale, and the fact that you can get up to 50 percent off the Huckberry Sale section in general, heading into this weekend as we kick off summer. How great is that?? Too great. The best men’s summer gear is yours for the taking, folks. Here are a few more I’m loving today.
- Did you know this one was coming? My friends at Taylor Stitch are offering 25 percent off sitewide through May 31st, no code needed (and some exclusions do apply). Talk about one heck of a sale on the best summer style essentials, folks.
- The good folks at Western Rise, makers of stylish performance apparel — including the best short-sleeve shirt — are running the Western Rise Warehouse Sale, featuring 20 percent off sitewide through June 1st with the code WAREHOUSE, with no exclusions. Get right to it, folks.
- Here’s another great one. Faherty Brand is offering up to 50 percent off new markdowns through May 31st, including plenty of the best summer menswear essentials out there.
- The American-made menswear and gear purveyors at American Trench are giving you 15 percent off sitewide through May 31st, no code needed. Perfect time to stock up on American-made menswear, indeed.
- At Billykirk, get 25 percent off sitewide with the code MEMORIAL21, which also gets you up to 35 percent off on sale items. Cheers to the best leather goods on the market.
- Here’s a great grooming deal for ya. Huron will throw in a free hair gel (nothing like your middle school hair gel!) with your purchase of $25 or more through May 31st using the code MDWG. Good stuff!
- Of note, rugged-yet-stylish gear, apparel and outerwear brand Jack Wolfskin is also running a Memorial Day sale, featuring 20 percent off sitewide through June 1st. Start shopping.
- BioLite, makers of the best portable fire pits and more, is ALSO offering 20 percent off sitewide through May 31st, no code required. This is a great way to gear up for summer trips, my friends.
- Through May 31st, head to GREATS to get some of the best sneakers for men on the market — use the code SUMMERFRIDAY to get 25 percent off orders of $75 or more (some exclusions apply). Happy shopping!
- Over at Billy Reid, one of the country’s best menswear designers, you can get free ground shipping on some of the best summer menswear.
- At sustainable gear makers United By Blue, get an extra 40 percent off the Sale section with the code MISSIONBRAND (automatically applied at checkout), and 25 percent off sitewide with the same code — this great deal runs through May 31st.
- Now through May 31st, Outdoor Fellow, makers of some of the best candles for men, is offering 20 percent off candles with the code MEMORIAL (this excludes subscriptions and gift cards). Still, a standout deal on the best new candles for your home.
- Men’s Wearhouse and Jos. A. Bank are grouping their sales together this weekend in a huge warehouse sale, with up to 85 percent off at both brands. That includes Men’s Wearhouse suits as low as $69.99, plus much more. Shop now through Monday.
- Topo Designs, one of my favorite brands for rugged outdoor gear, has plenty of its best men’s apparel and hiking gear for less than $100, and you can get free shipping on orders of more than $50.

In need of some new summer swim trunks to round out your gear rotation? I’ve recently got my hands on some Quiksilver men’s board shorts, with a dependable, classic cut and full functionality top of mind. To say I’m looking forward to wearing them when I return to Florida later this summer is an understatement, and if I can find a way to break them out before then, consider me sold on my new favorite swim trunks.

Here’s one more item to consider heading into the weekend. While I would hope you’re using your BEAU10 discount code to get a discount on Threes Brewing beer, a well-stocked bar cart calls for a little something extra on a long weekend. Head to Maxim.com, then, to read about (and purchase!) the new Southern Comfort Americana bottle for this weekend and beyond. Cheers, my friends.

I hope you’re stocked up and ready, in spirit at least, for a stellar, relaxing Memorial Day weekend filled with plenty of Threes Brewing, shopping for stellar deals from Topo Designs, the the Huckberry Sale section, Jack Wolfskin and much more. One last thought: If you need an #OOTD idea for the weekend ahead, be sure to check out my guide on how to wear a short-sleeve shirt for summer. Cheers to the season ahead, and thanks for reading!

The Thursday Buy: Duke Cannon’s Cold Shower Bundle Is Your Summer Grooming Go-To

For as many summer style essentials as you think you’ve taken care of at the moment, there are plenty of men’s grooming essentials that need to be on your summer shopping list, too. Allow me to reintroduce Duke Cannon, Minnesota-based makers of some of the best men’s grooming products, period. You might recognize the brand from my guide to the Duke Cannon Classic Man Kit, packed with four of the best men’s grooming staples, but let’s take a look at a crucial summer pick-up you won’t be able to live without: The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle has a whole host of the best men’s grooming products for summer, especially as the thermostat climbs (and climbs, and climbs).

Staying cool and dry while looking and feeling your best is as important as shopping for, say, your new favorite denim shirt for summer — think of it like a new take on “look good, feel good.” And luckily for us all, Duke Cannon is one of the best grooming brands for men when it comes to helping guys through tricky, hot summer days. Yes indeed, the Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is the new summer grooming essential you didn’t know you needed… yet.

SHOP: The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle

Helpfully, the essential Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is packed with proper picks for guys who tend to run hot (and dealing with NYC summers, as I’ve been these past years, is really no joke). This summer grooming bundle really has it all, including Cold Shower Scrub, with a cooling effect, and the super-effective and well-made Dry Ice Cooling Antiperspirant + Deodorant. Duke Cannon has thought of everything single thing in this handy bundle, including the excellent Cold Shower Cooling Field Towels — face and body wipes to cool you down on the go. It gets even better, though — and I really do mean that.

The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is on sale right now for $39.50, a nice little discount from its regular $46 price tag. So, that’s four summer grooming essentials for under $40. If I were you, I’d seriously consider hopping on this deal ASAP. Consider it but one addition to your grooming rotation — or rather, four very effective additions to your grooming rotation. Your summer just got a whole lot more cooling and refreshing, and I really do mean that.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Denim Jacket is the Perfect Father’s Day Splurge

Folks, Father’s Day will be here before you know it, and it’s with that in mind that I’m recommending you splurge, invest in the best and get your dad (or any father figure in your life) one of the coolest denim jackets for men around. Dad deserves some extra appreciation this year, and while I typically don’t recommend too many wallet-busting purchases, I’ve got to step up to the plate and vouch for my new favorite denim jacket. It’s not just any typical denim jacket (although I love my indigo denim jacket as much as the next guy). No sir, the fast-selling and much-loved Todd Snyder x Legent Bourbon Selvedge Denim Jacket is an incredible way to splurge on Dad this year, to say the very least. He deserves it, right? No doubt about it. You’ll have to act quickly if you want to get your hands on this bourbon-inspired denim jacket, but trust me when I say that it’ll be worth it.

Now, if you read the blog or if you subscribe to my menswear newsletter, you’ve seen this outstanding denim jacket before — call it the perfect pairing of menswear and whiskey, or call it simply the best denim jacket for men, but it gets the job done either way. Like all things Todd Snyder, one of the country’s finest menswear designers, it’s a masterclass in craftsmanship, rugged style and timeless appeal.

SHOP: The Todd Snyder x Legent Bourbon Selvedge Denim Jacket

Todd Snyder x Legent® Bourbon Selvedge Jacket

As you search for the best Father’s Day gifts this year, keep this denim jacket top of mind ASAP, because it’s selling quickly. This rugged denim jacket draws heavily on the world of bourbon, where attention to detail and rich quality and character are of the utmost importance. It starts with whiskey-hued selvedge denim sourced from Japan — it’s a fitting homage to the fact that Legent Bourbon blends the expertise of Japanese whiskey blending with Kentucky’s famed distilling heritage.

It all comes together in one of the best men’s denim jackets I’ve seen in a long, long time, with a price tag to match ($398 at Todd Snyder). It’s truly a splurge-worthy gift for a dad who, again, definitely deserves it. It’s finished off in the U.S.A. and features durable antique hardware, all the better for Dad to wear for days and days on end. Plus, it pairs up very nicely with a bottle of Legent Bourbon itself, an incredible addition to any bar cart this Father’s Day. Once again, the Todd Snyder x Legent Bourbon Selvedge Denim Jacket is assuredly a splurge, but one that Dad’s going to love for years and years to come. I’ll drink to that.

#OOTD: How to Wear a Henley for Men This Summer

Folks, the time to really start dressin’ for summer is here, and I’ve got just the ensemble you need now. Past #OOTD entries have covered a little bit of everything as far as rugged gear is concerned, from how to wear chukka boots this summer to how to layer a shirt jacket, and we’re going to keep that theme going with my guide on how to wear a henley this summer. It might seem simple on the surface, but we’ve got one of the coolest suede jackets along for the ride for some lightweight layering, plus your favorite pair of new chinos and much more. Think of it like the ideal #OOTD to wear when the occasion calls for classic, rugged style — perhaps a casual night out with “the guys,” as they say, or a long-awaited reunion with family and friends. When you want to channel laidback, casual cool, I think these style essentials are going to work perfectly.

Oh, and that’s not all we’ve got. I’m also including one of the best beers for summer from Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing, the kind that you can bring along to that backyard or patio hang — Threes delivers to more than 20 states, and you can use the code BEAU10 to get 10 percent off your order. So, to recap: Fresh summer beer, a rugged henley and much more. What’s not to love about that, right? Cheers to the season ahead, folks.

The Henley: PAIGE Denim Harwood Henley, $89 — This cool, rugged #OOTD starts off the right way with an equally cool, rugged henley from PAIGE Denim. Call it one of the best men’s henleys around.
The Jacket: Taylor Stitch Wyatt Jacket, $998 — Here’s the aforementioned stylish suede jacket, a perfect lightweight leather jacket for when the days get breezy or the sun goes down.

The Socks: Mack Weldon Extended Cashmere Crew Socks, $68 — Splurge on your feet this summer with a pair of lightweight, comfortable, stylish cashmere socks. Mack Weldon won’t let you down.
The Watch: Handley Watches Muse Watch, $230 — If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve surely seen me raving about the rugged appeal of Handley Watches. This stylish rubber-strap watch is casual, durable and yet perfectly stylish alongside this #OOTD.
The Everyday Carry: Filson Dryden Ballistic Nylon Brief, $175 — No matter where your summer takes you, this rugged Filson Dryden Brief is a stone-cold, super-effective everyday carry essential.
The Summer Beer: Threes Brewing Vliet Pilsner, $16 (Four-Pack) — When you show up to that BBQ or backyard hang, bring a fresh craft beer everyone will enjoy: The Threes Brewing Vliet Pilsner is one of my favorite beers for everyday sipping, and it’s even better that you can stock up on multiple four-packs using the code BEAU10 for 10 percent off your order of $50 or more online. Cheers to that, folks!

Are you all the more ready for summer now with this versatile #OOTD? I know I sure am, and I couldn’t be more excited about all the stylish potential this ensemble has, starting right from the get-go with rugged henley from PAIGE Denim. To me, that henley pairs up absolutely perfectly with that lightweight leather jacket from Taylor Stitch, and it gets even better when you throw on a pair of lightweight chinos to cement the casual cool and polish of this look. Keep your footwear on point with a pair of the best men’s chukka boots, which just so happen to be priced quite nicely at under $200.

You’re also keeping your summer style on point in lightweight fashion with a pair of stylish cashmere socks from Mack Weldon, the kind that won’t cause your feet to overheat. And your accessories are also going to get the job done in style, including a stylish rubber-strap watch from your new favorite watch brand, Virginia-based Handley Watches. To wrap it all up, haul your daily carry with the Filson Dryden Brief, then be sure to stock up on plenty of the best beer for summer from Threes Brewing (and remember: You can and should use the code BEAU10 for 10 percent off your order of $50). It’s all coming together, folks. Cheers!

The List: Get the Best Beer for Summer From Threes Brewing — At A Discount

If the headline of this post caused you to double-take, don’t click away just yet. After all, I normally talk about, say, the best menswear from Taylor Stitch or the best jeans for summer on the blog, but we’re diving into another passion of mine altogether today: The best beer for summer, and specifically, the best craft beer for summer from Threes Brewing. If you’re not familiar with Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing, you’re in for a treat (and keep scrolling for a nice discount, too!).

The Threes Brewery and beer garden is a sight to behold, its can design and branding are both uber-stylish, and overall, it’s one of my favorite spots in the borough. It helps that they make flavorful lagers, inventive IPAs and the best pilsner I’ve tried in some time. How does that impact you? Well, Threes Brewing ships to more than 20 states, and they deliver locally around NYC and beyond. As you stock your fridge and cooler for Memorial Day weekend, it gets even better: Use the code BEAU10 to get 10 percent off your order of $50 or more any time at Threes Brewing.

The code works for online orders or pick-up + to-go orders at the brewery, so craft beer lovers should be covered any way you slice it. How great is that?? To get you started, here are just a few of my favorite beers from Threes Brewing to buy right now. This won’t be the last time you hear from ’em on the blog, either!

The Six Best Beers to Buy for Summer from Threes Brewing

Threes Brewing Vliet Pilsner — $16 (Four-Pack)

If there’s a better pilsner for summer out there from a craft brewery, I have yet to try it. Sure, competition is steep, but Threes Brewing Vliet, with clean, sweet flavor and German Pilsner malts, checks all the right boxes. Consider it the best beer for a hot summer day.

Threes Brewing Kicking & Screaming Pilsner — $17 (Four-Pack)

Get at least one four-pack of the best fresh summer beer in your fridge ASAP, and revel in its unique flavor. It’s aged in a large oak (foudre) tank for oak flavor that’s not overpowering. It’s crisp, crushable and mighty tasty. Cheers.

Threes Brewing Logical Conclusion Hazy IPA — $17 (Four-Pack)

The Threes Logical Conclusion is one of my favorite IPAs on the market, a great introduction to the style if you don’t want something with a super-high ABV or overpowering hops. You get plenty of ripe citrus and a creamy mouthfeel, as all great hazy IPAs have, but it’s so tasty, you might end up churning through the four-pack across an afternoon (responsibility first, though!).

Threes Brewing Unreliable Narrator IPA — $17 (Four-Pack)

Is your beer fridge full yet? Why not consider adding another standout Threes Brewing IPA? I know I’m on board. Unreliable Narrator is the perfect balance of four hop varieties (including Citra and Centennial, for the perfect balance of citrus and a dank, piney finish). I’ll have another, please.

Threes Brewing SFY Double IPA — $20 (Four-Pack)

Threes Brewing ups the ante in a big way here with the much-loved SFY Double IPA, packed with what Threes calls “tropical, assertive” tasting notes. Like all Threes Brewing beers, though, it’s not too much on the palette. I’ll drink to that.

Threes Brewing Vliet + Logical Conclusion Mixed 24-Pack — $94

Want to really go big this Memorial Day weekend and beyond? Get a mixed 24-pack featuring two of Threes Brewing’s best-loved beers. This Threes 24-pack has something for everyone, from the light, crisp and flavorful Vliet to the hop-packed Logical Conclusion. You can’t go wrong either way, folks.

Hopefully, my guide to the best beers from Threes Brewing — heck, some of the best craft beers to buy this summer in general — has amped up your interest in stocking your beer fridge or your cooler (or your friend’s cooler!) for the season ahead. I’d say it’s pretty helpful — in my humble opinion — that the code BEAU10 gets you 10 percent off your online or brewery to-go order. Now, if you’re just testing the waters when it comes to beer from Threes Brewing, you can’t go wrong with the easy-drinking, supremely crushable Threes Brewing Vliet, a perfect middle ground for those who love cold, fresh beer that you can enjoy all day.

On the other end of the spectrum, the Threes Logical Conclusion is a perfect IPA for someone either new to the style or someone who’s a seasoned IPA fan. It’s just a great beer, plain and simple. If you end up trying any of these beers, let me know in the comments below. And be sure to give me a follow on Instagram to find out more about my favorite craft beers for summer. In the meantime, keep your credit card handy and get the code BEAU10 at the ready. Cheers to summer, folks!

Of course, the specs on the Spinnaker Fleuss Watch are everything you could ask for in a go-anywhere summer watch. The 43mm case diameter is sturdy and substantial, while the lens is made from scratch-resistant sapphire crystal (the good stuff, in short). It’s water-resistant down to 150 meters, all the better to really get out there and hit the, well, water. It also helps that this stainless steel dive watch is pretty stylish, right on down to the crisp dial design itself.

The contrasting black bezel is a nice touch that makes for easy legibility in adverse conditions, and it helps that, overall, this is a watch you can wear with everything from your favorite T-shirt and light wash jeans to a crisp Oxford shirt and tan chinos. The list goes on, of course, but the Spinnaker Fleuss Watch is just about ready for anything and everything you can throw at it. Bear in mind, though: The most important thing to remember is that, in addition to all of this, you can ue the code SPIN20 to get 20 percent off any full-priced watch at Spinnaker Watches, this one very, very much included. Are we on the same page? Time to gear up accordingly and get out there.
