See Now, Buy Now: The Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat Is the Best Fall Blazer to Shop Now

They say that when wearing any fine tailoring — or, for instance, one of the best men’s blazers — it’s crucial that the blazer or suit jacket doesn’t wear you. As in, your choice for one of the best blazers for men should look natural, stylish, comfortable and well-fitting. And as we move into a new season (fall, the best time for menswear on the market!), you should look to hit all the right notes with the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat. It’s the perfect example of a blazer that doesn’t “wear you” — rather, it’s got a soft-shouldered, more easygoing design, exceptionally soft Italian cotton fabric and plenty of style points.

And when I say plenty of style points, I mean it: Todd Snyder is known for taking traditionally stuffy classics and making them more casual, easygoing and cool. The Todd Snyder Knit Sportcoat is a perfect example of this approach, without any of the padding or design details that can make a blazer uncomfortable to wear.

Plus, the Dark Brown color fits right in with fall style essentials, which is exactly the sort of move you should be looking to make right now (and classic Navy isn’t a bad move, either). Heck, Todd Snyder already makes one of the best summer blazers, so consider this like a fall and winter-worthy alternative, too.

Like most Todd Snyder menswear picks, it’s pricier than average (quite a bit pricier at $698), but it’s absolutely worth it to invest in the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat. It’s the kind of blazer you can wear with, say, a Todd Snyder T-shirt as easily as a classic Oxford shirt and the best men’s chinos, for instance. Make no mistake, it’s also a blazer you can wear with jeans, plus your favorite pair of leather boots. If you ask me, that’s a standout fall style look, and you won’t regret investing in one of the best blazers for men this season. Go to it, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Lined Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket – The Rugged Jacket You Need This Fall

As summer draws to a close slowly but surely, it’s time to turn your attention towards the business of getting ready for fall with the most rugged menswear on the market. Of course, you know that if you read The Style Guide – and if you’ve been keeping up with the goings-on at Filson, you know the legendary Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter can help you gear up for (eventual) cold weather in style. Perhaps you’ve already picked up one of the best crewneck shirts for layering, or else snagged one of the best lightweight shirts for men — but let’s amp things up even further today, shall we?

The Filson Lined Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket is our featured Style Pick for good reason: It’s a certified classic, built to last and fashioned with ridiculously tough specs, and it’s now back and better than ever in a fall-friendly color.

You’ll find your new favorite fall jacket is as reliable as they come, made from Filson’s legendary Tin Cloth fabric and now lined with durable 6 oz. canvas (and the Filson Lined Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket is also lined with polyester in the sleeves). Keep on scrolling, because it gets even better.

It really is the Tin Cloth fabric that makes the Filson Lined Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket such a fan favorite — it’s been around for more than a century, after all. Water-resistant waxed duck canvas stands up to the elements, to long days on the job and in the yard, and to blustery fall breezes when trekking through town to your favorite coffee shop. Seriously, the Filson Lined Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket can just about do it all when it comes to casually rugged style and performance.

In fact, you’d also do very well to pair it up with essentials like a classic henley shirt or a Filson flannel shirt when temperatures start to plummet. Of course, you can wear the Filson Lined Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket — in either the Cinder or Dark Tan colorways — with everything from durable Filson work pants on the job to your favorite pair of blue jeans for classic off-duty style. As I’ve said before, it’s never too early to get geared up for what lies ahead, and the best fall menswear from Filson can help you get there.

The Friday Read: London, The Best New Boots & The Billy Reid Final Sale

My friends, good morning and welcome to another Friday Read here at your favorite menswear blog. We’re kicking things off in a slightly different fashion today, as my locale at the moment is a bit different from the ordinary. As we speak, I’m in the iconic city of London for a long-awaited trip to the very festival you see at the top of the page: That’d be All Points East, headlined by my favorite band… The National. Over the years, perhaps you’ve read my musings on the importance of travel, music and of course, traveling in style to see music, and it all comes together now on a fine, hot London summer day.

I was just in London — staying in the exceptionally cool neighborhood of Shoreditch — to celebrate 100 years of Dickies workwear (check out that link for a full story on the brand!), and I’m so thrilled to be back. Seeing as I bought these tickets last November, it’s been a long time coming.

You can follow along on my Instagram to keep up with all the fun, but in the meantime, just know that I’m very excited to see such a stunning band in such a cool city — and that’s an understatement. Also in the meantime: Let’s get back to menswear and get the rest of your weekend started in style, shall we? Sounds great to me. Cheers!

Here’s something I think you’re going to like quite a bit to start your weekend. Billy Reid, one of the country’s finest menswear designers and a personal favorite of your Brooklyn style writer, is giving stylish folks like yourself the chance to save an extra 25 percent on Final Sale items, now through September 5th. Go to it and refresh your wardrobe with the best men’s style essentials in time for Labor Day weekend and beyond.

We’ll keep the fall style must-haves rolling right here with my next recommendation. The team at Free Fly Apparel, makers of surprisingly stylish performance menswear that can take you anywhere, just launched the Free Fly Apparel Fall Collection, and it’s packed with durable canvas pants, easy-to-layer quarter-zip sweaters, lightweight hoodies and much more. Be sure to shop the best new fall menswear in time for your first fall getaway.
Now here’s a fun, aspirational way to close out today’s Friday Read. Over the past year and change, I’ve become a fan of fine Scotch (acquired taste though it might be!), and that’s why it’s so cool to see the jaw-dropping new whisky prototype from The Macallan and Bentley (yes, the automaker Bentley). Head to Maxim to read about some of the coolest whisky on the market.

So, that trio of reading and shopping picks is going to round out today’s Friday Read. I’ve got some London pints to enjoy — I especially loved Camden Town Brewery during my June trip, along with the speakeasy Bermondsey Arts Club, and I’m hopeful to get back to both this next time around, too! Again, you can (and should!) follow along on my Instagram to keep up with my travels across the pond. Cheers and thanks for reading!

The Thursday Buy: This Stylish Everlane Bomber Jacket Is 50 Percent Off For a Limited Time

The key with building a wardrobe filled with the best menswear — or at least, a wardrobe that’s well on its way to hitting all the right notes — can be a bit more simple than you might think. Start with classic building blocks and go from there, like one of the best bomber jackets. Better still — as we head into the blustery days of early fall — if that stylish bomber jacket is well-made, highly wearable and also on sale right now for 50 percent off. It comes from Everlane, which has a knack for selling the best on-sale style essentials out there.

Think of it like a Thursday edition of our Tuesday Steal series, and then head over to Everlane to shop your new favorite bomber jacket. That’s right: Although you might find it hard to believe, the Everlane Track Bomber Jacket is on sale for just $44 right now, marked down from $88 and here to carry you from late summer into early fall without missing a beat. Made from 100 percent organic cotton, it’s a stylish bomber jacket that wears more like a casual crewneck sweatshirt, yet looks much more ready for, well, just about anything out there.

The Everlane Track Bomber Jacket is more like a hybrid piece of outerwear and athleisure gear than anything use, using that soft organic cotton construction to carry you through casual days aplenty. It’s the kind of jacket that would wear quite well with casual style picks, like an Everlane T-shirt and a pair of classic Everlane blue jeans.

However, you can also class up the Everlane Track Bomber Jacket with a timeless Oxford shirt, those very same blue jeans and a pair of Everlane men’s shoes for a go-anywhere look that’ll pull double-duty at the office or on a weekend road trip. Between the agreeable, easy-to-layer fit, the crisp Kingfisher Blue colorway and helpful exterior pockets, the Everlane Track Bomber Jacket checks all the right boxes — and it might be the most affordable jacket for men on the market right now.

See Now, Buy Now: Mott and Bow Is Now Making One of the Best Men’s Polos On the Market

There are some menswear releases that catch you by surprise at first, but make a ton of sense when you get right down to it – like the idea behind the brand that makes your favorite jeans releasing one of the best men’s polo shirts. That’s precisely what Mott and Bow has set its mind to as of late, and the NYC-based, direct-to-consumer denim brand continues to build off its high-quality jeans — all in an effort to slowly take over your wardrobe, of course.

Perhaps you’re well-acquainted with the fact that the brand already makes some of the best lightweight jeans and the best classic blue jeans on the market, but the new Mott and Bow Jersey Polo goes above and beyond what you might expect. It’s made from a soft 100 percent cotton that’s been brushed for extra softness, not unlike how Mott and Bow T-shirts are also ultra-soft and comfortable.

Helpfully, the Mott and Bow Jersey Polo features some unique touches that separate it from a crowded and competitive market for the best men’s polo. It’s made using a fit that’s neither too tight nor too loose, but the best feature on the Mott and Bow Jersey Polo might be the curved hem — it’s a flattering touch that helps this stylish new polo look great on every body type.

Plus, this polo is available in sizes up to XXL, and the Mott and Bow Jersey Polo comes in a range of timeless, wear-with-anything colors, including Navy, Dark Grey and a crisp White. Best of all is the combination of quality and price.

The Mott and Bow Jersey Polo will set you back $75, a fair price to pay for a stylish men’s polo you can wear with everything from Mott and Bow denim to stylish stretch chino shorts and, of course, Mott and Bow men’s chinos. Consider picking it up to round out your end-of-summer wardrobe, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 30 Percent on the Best Chukka Boots from HELM Boots Right Now

If you’ve been keeping up with the blog as of late, you know that it’s more crucial than ever to start gearing up for early fall with the best men’s style essentials — like the best boots for men, of course. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: If you can find those style essentials on sale, that’s all the better, and that brings us to the pair of rugged leather chukka boots available today at a nice discount.

They hail from Austin’s own HELM Boots, a company you’re hopefully familiar with for its versatility and craftsmanship — they make everything from a pair of the best leather sneakers for men to some of the most rugged lace-up boots, of course.

You can add the HELM Declan Boots to that list, and you can rest even easier knowing they’re 30 percent off right now. Yes, that’s right: That discount takes these stylish leather chukka boots down below $200, a whale of deal — and a good reason to act quickly, since your new favorite chukka boots are selling fast.

Why go all in right now on the HELM Declan Boots? It’s simple, really. They’ve got all the hallmarks of dependable, durable style through and through, from a profile that’s sleek yet rugged — and wearable with slim chinos or more casual blue jeans — to the quality construction. The HELM Declan Boots are made with resoleable Blake construction (less expensive than Goodyear welting, but no less functional), and my favorite pair in particular uses handsome brown Balthazar leather that’ll get better with age.

Of course, you can also find the HELM Declan Boots in the HELM Boots Sale section in sharp Tan suede, a style that fits right in with other seasonal looks (like olive chinos, for instance). Now, sizes of the HELM Declan Boots are moving plenty quickly given that agreeable sale price of $175, so if you want a new pair of the best men’s chukka boots to call your own this fall, act now.
