If I said it once before, well, I’ll say it again: There’s no time like right now to re-evaluate your lineup of the best men’s fall style essentials, and there are plenty of brands here on this blog to help you do so. That’s where I’m kicking off today’s Friday Read: With a reminder to shop the best rugged menswear from Buck Mason, long one of my favorite brands.

They’re a supplier of everything from the best men’s henleys to one of the best fall jackets (made out of cozy flannel, no less), and the Buck Mason New Arrivals section is positively packed with can’t-miss menswear for fall.

Those are the sort of picks — durable jackets, cozy henley shirts, perfectly broken-in denim and the best fall gear in general — I’ve been looking to wear these past few days, as I’ve trekked through my home state of Pure Michigan. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you know that I visited friends in Detroit to see iconic rock band The Killers, I hopped over to Kalamazoo to tour the iconic Bell’s Brewery (a lifetime highlight!).

For good measure, I’ve spent the past few days exploring Lansing (and spots like Ellison Brewery) along with some quality family time. For now, I’m headed back to NYC today, but be sure to keep up with the latest on my Instagram — there’s much more in store, no doubt! Let’s keep the Friday Read rolling.

• I’d wager you don’t need me to tell you that Huckberry regularly stocks and sells some of the best men’s boots, right? That’s also the case with Pacific Northwest-based Danner, which is what makes the latest Huckberry x Danner partnership so astoundingly cool. The two closely aligned lifestyle brands just released the seriously rugged Danner x Huckberry Waxed Canvas Danner Light Boots, and a limited number of pairs are available. Read and shop ASAP right here.
• Any fans of James Bond out there? *Raises hand* Well, fans of 007 are in luck, and it just so happens that Danner is back in the mix here, too. Danner recently released two pairs of James Bond-approved boots, and for good measure, I got to write all about ’em for Maxim.
• One last question before I let you go for the (start of) the weekend: Could you use a new watch? I wrote all about the most durable watches for men, including picks from the likes of G-SHOCK and Luminox, over at AskMen. Time to gear up and get out there, my friends.

That’s going to wrap up today’s Friday Read — who’s excited for another fall weekend, ehh? I sure am, and once again, make sure you’re following me on Instagram to keep up with all the fun this season. Cheers!
