As I often say here on the blog, the best menswear deals are all about striking while the iron is hot, or jumping at the chance to upgrade your wardrobe in a notable yet familiar way. Take one of the best men’s shirt jackets, for instance. It’s a tried-and-true wardrobe staple, especially in the colder months, complete with plenty of rugged appeal.

And when a brand like Huckberry offers a slightly different take on the shirt jacket, as with the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed Shirt Jacket, well, the prize is all yours for the taking.

This handsome shirt jacket is now 30 percent off (talk about striking while the iron is hot!), and it’s loaded with all kinds of bells and whistles, as you might expect from the good folks at Flint and Tinder. Those features include the use of handsome, durable  British Millerain Tekwax Evolution 6 waxed canvas on the exterior, as well as cozy Primaloft insulation.

Diamond quilting adds toughness, while a polyester lining makes for an easy, softer-than-expected wearing experience. And it bears repeating that it’s 30 percent off right now, as we speak. Shop the Huckberry Sale section accordingly, my friends.

In my many freelance writing pursuits, as you know if you follow me on Instagram, I wear a lot of hats, be it covering USA-made knives, writing about the best new menswear or (increasingly) covering some of the best luxury Scotch and spirits on the market. Oh, and don’t forget about the fact that I get to dive into some of the coolest watches on the planet, all of which I feel incredibly fortunate to get to do!

And this week, it was a bit of all of the above, as I wrote about luxury watch releases during LVMH Watch Week, while at the same time writing about the best classic henley from Buck Mason (just yesterday on the blog!). And yes, I also got plenty deep into the Scotch market, as I trekked out to mostly sunny Los Angeles for the U.S. launch of Longmorn Scotch.

I’ll have much more to come on Longmorn, but this respected 130-year Scotch distillery (based in Speyside) just debuted a new 18-year expression and a new 22-year expression, complete with a stunning launch event at the Beverly Hills Hotel (utterly iconic!). It was a fittingly luxurious event for a remarkable Scotch that promises to make a splash in the U.S. market (clear some space on your bar cart).

And of course, watches from the likes of Tag Heuer (as seen above) were a major highlight of LVMH Watch Week. While I tend to rely on the classics like Shinola and Timex, the respected brand (with deep racing and auto heritage) is always a delight to cover. To have it all happen coming off my Brooklyn birthday last weekend was also a major treat, and another reminder of why I love what I do.

It was a true whirlwind of a week, but again, thank you for following along, thank you for supporting this blog and stay tuned for much more on the horizon in the worlds of style, spirits, watches and more. Cheers!
