It’s also one of Huckberry’s Bestsellers. On that note…

Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots — $215

The Sunday Sale: Get Free Shipping on Orders Over $75 at Patagonia, Including This Rugged Fall Flannel

Shopping on a budget for the best fall style essentials can be a little tricky, and I say this as someone who loves investment-worthy menswear picks aplenty. So any amount of cash you can save is pretty crucial, right? And if you can do it with sustainability and style in mind, well, isn’t that all the better? Hence, today’s Sunday Sale: A look at garb like the best men’s workwear, as well as the fact that you can get free shipping on orders over $75 at Patagonia. The outdoor retailer is committed to activism and helping the environment, using upcycled, recycled or organic materials across its product line, which just so happens to feature some of the best rugged gear for men. I’m personally a fan of the Patagonia Farrier Shirt, which could be one of the best flannel shirts for fall. For starters, it retails for $89, so it meets the order cut-off nicely. That’s not all this rugged work shirt can do for you, and it’s far from the only nice steal you’ll find at Patagonia.

The Patagonia Farrier Work Shirt (again, just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the best gear right now at Patagonia) comes in a classic red-and-black pattern, plus essential solid colors. Best of all, it’s warm, it’s substantial, it wears nicely with Patagonia jeans and durable Patagonia work pants, and you needn’t pay extra for shipping. Take your pick between a rugged work shirt made with either industrial hemp and recycled polyester, or else one derived from 88 percent organic cotton and 12 percent industrial hemp. Either way, it’s still a darn-fine and mighty tough work shirt made to tackle fall and winter projects with ease. In fact, the entire Patagonia men’s line is packed with hard-working, sustainably gear delivered to your doorstep without over-the-top shipping fees. If that sounds like something you’d appreciate, then I’d say it’s about time you took advantage of free shipping on orders over $75 at Patagonia.

Style Pick of the Week: American Giant Supima Oxford Shirt – The Best Oxford Shirt for Men to Buy Now

Is there anything that American Giant can’t do? The made-in-America retailer has you covered across the board with staples like one of the best polos for men and plenty of the best USA-made menswear, and you can add another item to that list: One of the coolest new Oxford shirts I’ve seen in some time, made with all the quality you’d expect from the famed retailer. I’ve grown to appreciate the brand over the years for its commitment to durable designs and fabrication in all respects, right down to its affordable bundle of T-shirts, and they’ve really hit the nail on the head once again with the American Giant Supima Oxford. It’s a step up in terms of everyday style and dressy appeal from a brand that excels at making casual style staples, and if ever you wanted more of the best American-made menswear in your life, well, here’s your chance to start stocking up on pieces like your new favorite Oxford shirt. What makes this classic piece so essential? My friends, I’m glad you asked.

Naturally, the American Giant Supima Oxford checks all the right boxes from the very start, including the use of that soft Supima cotton fabric, all the better to make this a shirt you can truly live in. It’s also made in Los Angeles, another step that signifies quality and attention to detail throughout. That USA-made build is also why it’s more expensive than your average Oxford shirt from a fast-fashion brand – the American Giant Supima Oxford clocks in at $118, but it’s more than worth the price tag.

It’s your new favorite shirt for work or play, and easily one of the best shirts for men that you can buy right now. Take your pick from classic Oxford Blue or crisp White, both of which are downright essential and easily wearable with plenty of your other wardrobe staples. Team either option with classic slim blue jeans or tan chinos at the office or on the road. Wear the American Giant Supima Oxford to the office tucked in underneath a classic fall blazer, or break it out this winter underneath a rugged shawl cardigan with your favorite pair of blue jeans. Any which way you slice it, the USA-made American Giant Supima Oxford works as hard as you do.

Everlane.com Low Cost. High Quality. Classic wardrobe essentials for less!

A single chest pocket and that buttondown collar are details that keep this Oxford shirt firmly classic and ready for anything, especially for business casual style at the office. And the best part is, you can even wear the American Giant Supima Oxford with other picks from American Giant — try it untucked atop an American Giant cotton T-shirt, for starters. It also works well buttoned up and then layered underneath an American Giant crewneck sweatshirt, a look that’s ready for the beer garden or a Friday meeting in equal measure. When you find a well-fitting, well-made shirt like the American Giant Supima Oxford, it’s absolutely in your best interest to step up to the plate and snag (at least) one for yourself. Happy shopping.

That’s what the good people at performance menswear brand Olivers Apparel have delivered with the brand’s new arrivals, which happen to be packed with some of the best fall menswear, including easy-to-layer pieces like the Stadium Shirt Jacket. These are gear picks you can wear for work or play, with ease. You can certainly hit the road or the trail with the brand, which focuses on moisture-wicking, stretch fabrics all throughout its line.

It’s been a whirlwind week of writing in the meantime, but rest assured that we’ll close the week out the right way with a few choice picks (and of course, another entry in my ongoing menswear and music newsletter — subscribe before it hits your inbox on Saturday morning!). In the meantime, here are a few reads to get you into the spirit of fall style and fall shopping. Here’s to a Pure Michigan trip, too – cheers!

The Best Menswear Reads of the Week

  • Have you been keeping up with the blog this week? If not, I’d urge you to turn back the clock to, well, yesterday, when I covered the best fall henley right here on this site. And folks, one of the best men’s henleys happens to come from rugged heritage gear purveyor Filson, longtime makers of gear you can count on without missing a beat. That sounds pretty ideal for fall weekend adventures, does it not? Again, head here to check it out.
  • How about this for another fall read and fall style recommendation? I’ve been writing for men’s lifestyle site The Manual for well over five years now, believe it or not, and it’s always exciting to dive into new territory. I did that this week with my guide on how to wear desert boots, a solid decision day in and day out throughout the entire fall season. Don’t you agree? Head over to The Manual this weekend to get my take.
  • Here’s a fun one for fans of cold beer and friendship, plus football. Over at Maxim, I wrote about a seriously fun Miller Lite giveaway that offers you and five friends the chance to win free Miller Lite for life, plus some Miller Lite-themed championship rings. It’s about as neat and enjoyable a giveaway as you could ask for this football season. Cheers!

I’ll leave you with a couple reminders right now: Hit “Subscribe” on my music and menswear newsletter, The Style Guide In Brief, before the weekend starts in earnest. Next, check out another crucial fall style move — GREATS is making some of the best sneakers for fall, and my latest See Now, Buy Now post covered those very sneakers.

The Thursday Buy: Filson’s Double Layer Henley is the Best Base Layer for Fall

Keep your rotation well-stocked for fall when it comes to the best menswear for fall, and you’ll never run out of the right gear to rock. Start with your base layers, like the Filson Double Layer Henley, and things only get better from there. It’s part of the outstanding and perfectly fall-minded Filson New Arrivals section, one that’s worth scouring for hours on end in its own right. But it’s one of the best men’s henleys that you’re really going to need these days, especially as the weather turns colder and you add other outfit essentials atop the ever-so-rugged Filson Double Layer Henley. Filson says you can wear this shirt all by itself or as that always-critical base layer, which is just the beginning when it comes to its list of standout features.

Get ready for fall with Filson’s New Arrivals

The heritage retailer has you covered

And when it comes down to it, one of the best henleys for men is just a staple piece that every guy looks good wearing. The multi-button placket provides more visual interest than just a crewneck T-shirt or sweatshirt, making it an easy contrasting layer beneath, say, a rugged Filson flannel shirt. In fact, you can wear this shirt buttoned all the way up or unbuttoned slightly to regulate airflow. Henley shirts were worn originally for athletic pursuits (rowing on the River Thames in Great Britain), and they needed to function as both a warm base layer and a sporting shirt, and the Filson Double Layer Henley carries on that lineage nicely (no matter if you’re not much of a rower — neither am I!). The Filson Double Layer Henley checks all the right boxes in terms of fabric and fit, too.

Let’s start with the fabric when it comes down to one of the best henleys for men. Filson is using a jersey cotton blend in a double-knit design with both cotton and polyester. It’s also made with rib knit cuffs and collar, meaning you can customize the sleeve length to your liking as you layer underneath the Filson Mackinaw Jacket or the aforementioned rugged Filson flannel shirt. And because it’s Filson, you also get variety in matters of style: Take your pick between four colors, each wearable with plenty of other Filson style staples (the Dark Navy or Fir might be my personal favorite).

Whether you wear it under a waxed jacket for a fall day hike, on its own for a hot cup of coffee on a cool morning or layered underneath a chambray shirt for a day in the yard, the Filson Double Layer Henley is your new go-to fall henley (that’s saying quite a lot in a crowded market). It’s just the Filson way.

See Now, Buy Now: The GREATS Wooster Sneakers Are the Best Men’s Sneakers For Fall

Image Slide 1

No fall wardrobe is complete without some essential building blocks, pieces like a stylish flannel shirt, expertly faded jeans or the best men’s sneakers for fall. That’s right: Just as you should also be wearing some of the best men’s boots, it’s in your best interest to pick up some stylish high-top sneakers. Think of leather high-top sneakers, especially the GREATS Wooster Sneakers, as a more casual answer to your dependable boots. The GREATS Wooster Sneakers are an outstanding change of pace, especially when you want to lace up something that hits the sweet spot between leather boots and low-top summer sneakers. Yes indeed, stylish leather high-top sneakers are perfect happy medium, especially the GREATS Wooster Leather Sneakers. After all, it’s the use of rich full-grain leather and nylon, plus durable high-top construction, that makes them better suited for fall than, say, the low-cut GREATS Royale Sneakers. And this particular pair is available in both leather (as seen above) and rich tan (Cuoio) suede. Not bad, right?

These are the best men’s sneakers to shop for fall

As it were, you’ll find these classic high-top sneakers are but one standout offering when it comes to the new GREATS Fall Arrivals section, packed with rich leather and suede sneakers in seasonal shades. But the GREATS Wooster Mid Sneakers are simply the best of the bunch, at least in my humble opinion. When the time comes to trade in your boots for more casual sneakers (perhaps for a road trip with long hours in the car, or for a casual weekend coffee outing), it’s high-top sneakers made with high-quality materials that you’re going to want. And there’s plenty more where that came from (keep scrolling). Oh, and another thing: You can get free shipping and free returns on all orders. Onward!

Yes indeed, the GREATS Wooster Sneakers deliver on every possible front, right down to the agreeable price tag ($169) and the use of responsibly sourced materials. The rich suede option really shines in particular, especially against contrasting two-tone yellow laces (not all that different from your favorite work boots, right?). The GREATS Wooster Sneakers are also built with a vulcanized rubber outsole, all the better to add some tough durability to some of the coolest sneakers in your wardrobe.

And speaking of the rest of your wardrobe, well, the GREATS Wooster Sneakers are going to fit right in with plenty of casual fall style favorites. To me, these classic high-top sneakers, in either leather or suede, would work remarkably well with classic slim blue jeans and your favorite flannel shirt, perhaps layered over a rugged henley. You can also wear these high-top sneakers with tan chinos and a blue Oxford or chambray shirt, sleeves rolled and untucked, at the office. The GREATS Wooster Sneakers are well-made enough to last you this fall and plenty more seasons to come, so invest in the best men’s sneakers for the season right now, and then reap the rewards.

It’s a temperature-regulating wool blend that makes these both warm and yet remarkably comfortable, all the better to wear without socks alongside your favorite pair of weekend sweatpants. The hybrid appeal only grows from there.

The Greys Outdoor Slipper Boots sit atop a grippy rubber sole for maximum traction moving through the yard or throughout town, too.

See Now, Buy Now: This Wellen Cotton Sweater Is The Ideal Transitional Sweater for Men

There’s a happy medium when it comes to getting dressed for early fall, when it’s not quite cold enough to break out a rugged parka and yet, you still need a transitional layer. Enter one of the best men’s sweaters, one made with care and sustainable style in mind from Wellen (courtesy of Huckberry, one of the best retailers for men, of course). The time is right to layer up, but not to overdo it, and that’s where the Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater plugs a worthwhile gap in your fall wardrobe. It’s breezy out there, yet there’s no sign of snow, so what’s a guy to do? Answer: Add the trusty, ever-reliable and recently launched Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater to your style rotation ASAP. If you’re not familiar with Wellen, the in-house Huckberry brand (which debuted in 2019 to great effect) focuses on much-needed sustainable materials like organic cotton and more specifically hemp — both of these materials regenerate soil and can stand up to some serious wear and tear. It all comes to a head with the Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater, ready for casual and rugged adventures off the grid.

This sweater is distinctive in more ways than one, starting with the more laidback and warming waffle knit construction. That gives it a more rugged appeal than a smooth merino wool sweater, for instance, so the Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater is ideal for casual style situations (more on this in a second). And the use of recycled cotton (40 percent of the fabric blend used) holds up the sustainable end of the bargain, while acrylic and polyester add durability and stretch. One of the best sweaters for men checks even more boxes beyond that, though.

Naturally, the Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater is your new favorite sweater for a reason, and it comes down to versatility and layering potential. Because it’s made with a cotton blend, it’s not overly stuffy or heavy, like a wool sweater (which you should also have in your wardrobe, mind you). For days when temperatures might start in the 40s or 50s (or days where the temperatures drop down into the 60s at night), a lightweight sweater like the ever-versatile Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater is the right way to go.

Stock up for sweater weather right now

Get one of the best men’s sweaters on the market

You can layer this sweater atop your favorite chambray shirt or an Oxford shirt, but it’s also easily wearable over, say, a merino long-sleeve T-shirt for that ideal blend of early morning warmth and style. In fact, the good folks at Huckberry practically designed this sweater to be worn at cabin getaways around the bonfire or perhaps on an early morning hike or beach stroll. You can create your own lifestyle with the rugged appeal of the Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater, and that’s a great thing indeed. And because we’re talking about Huckberry here, this easily wearable sweater is priced fairly at $128 (especially given the fact that you can wear it on its own or beneath the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket. Now, what’s not to love about that? This essential fall sweater checks all the right boxes, from style to sustainability, and it’s here not a moment too soon for fall. Shop accordingly, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt – The Best Fall Weekend Sweatshirt

What do you think of when you think of a crewneck sweatshirt? Perhaps a trusty athletic logo sweatshirt or even something more premium, right? Put all those thoughts to rest for just one second and consider that you haven’t yet seen one of the best sweatshirts for men, period: That’d be the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt, an exceptional take on the traditional crewneck sweater that blends both old-school athletic heritage and modern refinement in a surprisingly dressy and versatile final product. It’s part of Billy Reid’s Fall 2021 Collection, and it’s worth every penny. The Alabama-based designer has produced award-winning staples like one of the best casual shirts for fall for years now, and he’s also got quite the rotation of outerwear, like the famed Billy Reid Bond Peacoat, up for grabs. But before you can throw on a new jacket, start with the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt for comfortable layering, casually cool style and much more.

Billy Reid’s Dover Sweatshirt belongs in your closet

The perfect blend of old-school cool and modern style

Billy Reid made a name for himself merging the old and the new, winning menswear accolades aplenty in the process, and the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt, is a prime example of how it all comes together. It’s got the silhouette of a grey crewneck sweatshirt, but it’s cleaned up and accented with leather elbow patches and armhole piping. Your standard athletic sweatshirt, this is certainly not. And especially in a cool Heather Grey color, it’s about as versatile as you want it to be.

Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt | Huckberry

The Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt also features slight details that really showcase the Billy Reid difference, like the small patch accenting Billy Reid’s signature stripe design. It’s touches like those ones that make the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt a fitting piece to wear with tailored blue jeans or tan chinos to the office when you can mix and match pieces. You can also layer the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt beneath your favorite fall blazer or beneath a rugged field jacket, but to me, this classic crewneck sweatshirt is at its best when you showcase those handsome leather elbow patches and rock it solo for a weekend coffee outing. Note that it also comes in a sleek Black colorway with contrasting elbow patches, but Heather Grey is your best bet, in my humble opinion.

And because it’s made with a cotton-polyester blend, it’s not too heavy or bulky — it’s the ideal go-between sweater to wear as we move into October. You can throw it on over a classic Billy Reid Oxford shirt or a long-sleeve tee from Billy Reid, too: The choice is all yours. Now, be warned, because the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt will run you $195, quite the price tag. But that being said, it’s exceedingly rare to find a crewneck sweatshirt made with this much care and attention to detail. For my money’s worth, I’d say you need to make this one your new favorite fall sweater ASAP.
