See Now, Buy Now: Layer Up in Warm, Rugged Fashion This Winter with This Flint and Tinder Shirt Jacket

We’ve been talking a lot about the best men’s style resolutions here on the blog as we head into 2024, and while it’s excellent to have classic everyday menswear on hand, the occasion sometimes calls for something with a bit more rugged appeal, warmth and utility than the standard shirt.

Enter one of the best shirt jackets for men, with cozy, toasty, perfectly crafted style top of mind, and secure that stylish men’s shirt jacket over at Huckberry, my friends (where else, right?).

That’s not to say the Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Shirt Jacket is purely focused on only function and not form — as with most all things Flint and Tinder, including the Huckberry brand’s famed trucker jacket, it’s got both going for it in spades. It’s modeled after classic CPO (or Chief Petty Officer) jackets worn by the U.S. Navy, with features like handy front-button chest pockets for your everyday carry, plus a large collar made to be flipped up against the cold.

And like Flint and Tinder’s flannel-lined pants or else your new favorite chore coat from Flint and Tinder, the brand crafted this shirt from nothing but the finest materials, adding a good dose of that heritage style to the Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Shirt Jacket. The boiled wool is thick and burly but can withstand wintry conditions without weighing you down, while it’s also reinforced at the forearms and elbows for added durability.

Two rich, stylish color options add an air of winter-ready fashion to the highly useful Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Shirt Jacket, which can function readily as a winter workshirt or as a casual move when worn with your favorite blue jeans.

And of course, you can also expect one of the best men’s shirt jackets to feature tough, long-lasting construction at a fair price given its all-wool build. When temperatures plummet, turn to one of the best shirt jackets for men from a trusted brand, my friends.

Satchel & Page leather weekender bag for men.

Thanks for joining me here to kickstart a new week with an important task at hand — in the way of men’s style resolutions, it’s always helpful to consider areas of your wardrobe and your everyday carry that could use a bit of a revamp.

Or in the case of the remarkable Satchel & Page Leather Weekender, think of it like an investment in a new year and a new you as you plan out your next (or first!) 2024 getaway. Gone are the days of using a gym bag as a carry-on, or hauling along a backpack. My Satchel & Page review is a major thumbs-up in my book, but let’s dive in a bit deeper, shall we?

In my experience, you see, Satchel & Page makes heirloom-quality leather goods with serious style and craftsmanship in mind. It’s almost enough to make you want to buy one… just for the sole purpose of planning a trip and hitting the road.

Satchel & Page leather weekender bag review.

And one of the best weekender bags for men can certainly prove a gamechanger for improved packing (and style points). Perfectly sized for, well, long weekends and more casual getaways (as opposed to business trips, where you might need to bring along a suit), a richly crafted leather weekender bag can change the way you travel, quite literally.

Compact enough to fit in an overhead bin or rest comfortably on a train luggage rack or in your trunk, the Satchel & Page Leather Weekender delivers the goods. Your new favorite weekender bag boasts enough space to haul, say, two or three pairs of your favorite shoes, as well as winter sweaters, the best blue jeans and more for a cozy, stylish long weekend.

It can also nicely complement other items in your rotation, be it a Filson messenger brief or even other handsome Satchel & Page leather goods, which the brand certainly excels at crafting.

The Sunday Sale: This Filson Field Flannel Shirt is Now 50 Percent Off at Bespoke Post

We took a brief break yesterday with a respite from our Saturday Style Pick of the Week, but we’re back in a major way with one of the best menswear sales of the moment. Now, if you’ve kept up with this blog on the regular, then you know that we here at The Style Guide simply can’t get enough of a great deal.

The best menswear deals abound if you know where to look, like the Bespoke Post Sale section, my friends. And a new year is as prime a time as any to take a good, long look at your wardrobe and see what’s missing, what could use revamping and what already fits the bill in terms of rugged good looks and performance.

Shop the Bespoke Post Sale section now

And on that note, it’s mighty hard to argue with the Filson Field Flannel Shirt, which is on sale for just about 50 percent off right now. That brings the price of one of the best flannel shirts on the market down below $60, which is a downright steal for a high-quality find from a heritage menswear brand.

It’s everything you could hope to find in one of the best outdoor shirts for men, from the 7 oz. cotton flannel construction to hard-working details like military-grade melamine buttons. Flap chest pockets deliver crucial everyday carry storage space, and it also hits in terms of style points (note the rich faded red, black and bronze pattern).

It’s rare to find such a great deal on an heirloom-quality piece like the Filson Field Flannel Shirt, which is precisely why the time has never been better to refresh your winter shirting while saving some hard-earned cash in the meantime. Go to it, layer with pride and we’ll see you out there, my friends!

The Friday Read: Talking New Year’s 2024 Style Resolutions

My friends, welcome to the first Friday Read of 2024! It’s hard to believe, but as of this writing, I’ll have been running this humble style blog for more than a decade, from my college bedroom back in Michigan to my abode in Brooklyn (which you might have seen glimpses of if you follow me on Instagram).

It’s all a great time for reflection and perspective, especially with a new year already barreling by rather quickly. Crucially, it’s one of my favorite times to think on the best menswear essentials to guide the path ahead (perhaps including a new timepiece — like the one above — from my friends at Huckberry, yes?).

Shop menswear for a new year at Huckberry

As we’ve talked about here on the blog, a new year can be a great time for a style reset or revamp, or it can be a great time to consider what you like about your wardrobe, what you want to continue wearing and what you might need to switch up entirely. There are really no hard-and-fast rules out there (some of the time, at least). Sure, more casual trends like athleisure are firmly now in the mainstream, yes, but some guidelines certainly still apply.

And here at The Style Guide, we go for a mix of versatility, comfort and effortless style, with an emphasis on classics updated for modern times.

Take the rugged, durable Timex x Huckberry watch at the top of the page — it’s the kind of timepiece you can wear on your wrist alongside the rolled sleeves of an Oxford shirt, but it’s dependable enough to wear in the yard for days of winter work.

As to some of those other rules out there: Black tie dress codes are still black tie, big-time client and work meetings might still require a suit, but if you find yourself shifting between say, working from home, hitting the road and heading back into the office, things might tend to feel a bit all over the place.

Hopefully, this blog is a helpful resource, since style is rarely ever just “one thing” — it’s the right blazer and chinos at the office, but it’s knowing when you can mix in a chambray shirt, or when you should opt for an Oxford shirt and knit tie, for instance. You see, folks? Versatility is the key, and you should look to pieces that move seamlessly between scenarios.

That’s why I tend to lean on brands I can trust, brands that make modern variations of the classics. I’m talking about the kind of pieces and brands that you can mix and match, be it a Buck Mason Oxford shirt and a Huckberry wool blazer or Taylor Stitch chinos, a rugged henley and a shawl-collar cardigan for a blend of high-low style. At least, that’s how I’ve found myself dressing on frigid Brooklyn winter days so far.

Shop menswear upgrades for a new year at Buck Mason

For me, it’s all about striving to put my best foot forward: Even when working from home, I choose to opt for comfortable yet stylish basics like a merino T-shirt and stretch joggers, the kind I feel comfortable even wearing to run errands around the neighborhood.

What are your menswear resolutions in 2024?
Use The Style Guide to help get there!

How about you? I’d love to hear about your style goals for the new year: Do you want to dress up more “just because,” be it days at the office or date night? Do you want to find the perfect pair of jeans and rugged leather boots? Or do you want to upgrade your off-duty joggers and sneakers for remote work? Or, heck, something else entirely?

And what brands are you relying on to get the job done to kick off a new year? Keep me posted in the comments below and on The Style Guide Facebook page, and here’s to an even more resourceful, stylish and yes, fun year here on this very blog! Cheers, my friends, thank you for reading and let’s really get after it in 2024.

The Thursday Buy: This Wool Blazer From Wills & Huckberry Is a New Style Classic

A new year is, of course, a stellar opportunity to re-evaluate your menswear wardrobe (among other aspects of your life!) and sometimes, that can mean turning towards stylish updates to classics, pieces that you’ll get a ton of wear out of in the new year.

Take one of the best blazers for men, for instance. The particular blazer in question hails from Huckberry, and from the retailer’s refined Wills clothing brand, known for making some of the best cashmere sweaters and much more.

Learn more now at Huckberry

It’s part of the Huckberry Smart Casual lineup, a rundown of tasteful, elegant clothing that’s dressy enough for the office but cool enough for date night — all without trying too hard. It’s the right kind of balance to strike heading into a new year, if you ask me — and the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer is endlessly versatile and a perfect example of a go-anywhere jacket.

Your new favorite wool blazer wears easily with dark blue jeans and your favorite Oxford shirt at the office, but it can also pair seamlessly with, say, some of the best corduroy pants for men and a chambray shirt during a dressy date night. Especially in Heather Black, it’s also got some interesting texture and depth to the fabric, making it more appealing than, say, a standard black sportcoat.

And the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer also has another critical component making it ideal for winter: That wool blend fabric for winter warmth, which also pairs nicely with matching suit pants for a casually cool seasonal suit. In terms of other details, it also boasts half-canvas construction, which means the jacket will form nicely to your chest and shoulders while holding its shape over time.

Shop men’s blazers and more at Huckberry

In my book, this stylish wool blazer is one of the best blazers for men, the sort of jacket you can mix and match for multiple outfits in the same week — that’s reliability in style you can depend on, and that’s just the Huckberry way. Here’s to a new year and an even more stylish wardrobe, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in Leather Is a Luxe Style Splurge for 2024

There’s a fine line between a style splurge and practicality, especially when it comes time to layer up with one of the best jackets for winter, so how can a stylish gentleman such as yourself strike a balance between both? Well, perhaps you want to live a little (or a lot) heading into a new year and could use a new statement jacket, one that’s as useful as it is luxurious? Enter one of your favorite menswear designers, Mr. Todd Snyder himself.

Learn more now at Todd Snyder

That might sound impractical, but in my book, there’s nothing impractical about the fan-favorite menswear investment that is the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket. It’s certainly not the first time we’ve reviewed the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket here on the blog, but the great thing is, a silhouette as classic as the trucker jacket provides plenty of room for experimentation.

Hailing from the all-American designer best known for everything from the best corduroy trousers to rugged fisherman sweaters and luxe suiting, the new Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket is as rugged as it is refined.

The overall design remains largely unchanged, aside from the oversized slant patch pockets at the hip, but it’s the fabrication that really takes the cake when it comes to this investment-level winter jacket.

You see, the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket uses some decidedly luxe touches, like durable, handsome roughout leather and a rich contrasting leather collar. That ups the price tag quite a lot (to the tune of $1,598), so while this is certainly a splurge, it’s a jacket on par with other heritage-quality men’s jackets on the market.

The calf suede leather is a nice option when weather is brisk enough for a merino sweater and an Oxford shirt, yet not an all-out blizzard.

Shop bestsellers now at Todd Snyder

That same leather gives the seriously cool Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket a refined, elegant quality that you can even pair with dress trousers and the best leather dress boots (both of which you can find at Todd Snyder, of course).

While this jacket isn’t quite as ready for winter weather as a parka or a puffer jacket, it’s a useful go-between jacket that can dress up blue jeans or dress down wool trousers, all the while looking polished and delivering some plentiful style ROI, so to speak.

If that hits the mark for your New Year’s men’s style resolutions, join the club and invest in the remarkable new Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket

Savings within the remarkable Taylor Stitch Last Call offering tend to vary based on the time of year, with savings as high as 50 percent off during year-end and seasonal sales, but other picks among the best menswear essentials usually hover around 20 to 30 percent off or so.

It’s not a bad deal any way you look at it, especially if you opt for easily wearable seasonal style essentials like a pair of the best everyday pants for men (as seen at the top of the page).

Helpfully, the Taylor Stitch Last Call section is packed with just about something for every taste and sense of style, as is the rest of the brand’s full-priced offering.

Steps like, say, finding the perfect flannel shirt for brisk winter weather. It’s a seemingly simple move that starts things off the right way, and that holds true if you happen to shop Austin-based Howler Brothers right now.
