The Tuesday Steal: These Rugged Huckberry x Blundstone Boots Are Back in Stock, And They’re 25 Percent Off

It’s enough of a treat and a rare surprise when one of your favorite online menswear brands — in this case, the good folks at Huckberry — team up with one of the best men’s boot brands on the market. And yet, when those boots not only happen to come back in stock, but also go on sale just in time for spring and summer adventures?

Well, that’s what we call the sweet spot, and in my experience, getting a pair of the best boots for men on sale is one of the best ways to take on whatever lies ahead — in both matters of style and performance, of course.

Naturally, you’ll find them within the Huckberry Sale section — scroll on for more (or hit that button below to dive right in).

This all leads us to today’s covetable sale pick, the Huckberry x Blundstone #1320 Boots. They update a classic Blundstone silhouette, that of the rugged pull-on work boot, and they do so in a color and design that’s exclusive to Huckberry.

The laundry list of stylish features rolls forward from there, but here’s a major key: Your new favorite leather boots are now 25 percent off via Huckberry, and if past results are any indication, these rugged men’s boots will likely sell out sooner rather than later.

That discount marks the absurdly cool, rugged, comfortable and performance-minded Huckberry x Blundstone #1320 Boots down to $168 from $225, a veritable steal for a pair of boots made with premium, water-resistant leather uppers and a super-grippy TPU outsole.

In my experience, Blundstone boots for men are as hard-wearing as it gets, from day hikes to park strolls to brewery visits and rock concerts.

I trust my Blundstone boots to take me across the globe, including recent treks to Ireland, England and Germany — they were one of just three pairs of casually rugged men’s leather boots I brought with me, in fact.

And the Huckberry x Blundstone #1320 Boots certainly pass muster in terms of tough performance and great looks, especially when worn with your favorite blue jeans or even olive stretch chinos and an indigo denim trucker jacket.

It’s tough to top the reliability of the Huckberry x Blundstone #1320 Boots, and when they’re on sale for a heck of a deal — in a range of sizes — well, that’s a purchase worth making for spring, summer and beyond. Happy shopping and stay stylish, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt from Huckberry Is Made for Breezy Spring & Summer Days

Best linen shirt for men for spring and summer.

There are certain fabrics that make certain men’s style essentials indispensable as the thermostat climbs, like linen. Its breezy open weave keeps you cool from sunrise to sunset, whether in suiting, trousers or in the stylish linen shirt shown at the top of the page.

And yet, here’s the thing with linen, at least in my experience: The fabric wrinkles easily, which some might appreciate for its easygoing, devil-may-care sense of style. And yet, if you want one of the best linen shirts, but one with a true wrinkle-free approach, well, consider yourself in luck.

The good folks at Huckberry, and Huckberry in-house brand Wills, have come up with the perfect solution — a wrinkle-free linen shirt meant to upgrade all your spring and summer style pursuits, no extra ironing required.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt (available in both long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions) stands apart as one of the best shirts for men, and the difference is in the details. It’s made from a classic, breathable linen blend that looks great, retains its shape and again, resists wrinkles.

Along with that, it retains the timeless details of your favorite Oxford shirt, including a face-framing buttondown collar and a chest pocket — the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt is at once casual and yet polished, the sort of shirt you can wear with your favorite blazer and stretch chinos as readily as you can rock it untucked with expertly faded light wash jeans.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt — again, in either short-sleeve or long-sleeve designs — also keeps things simple and versatile in terms of style. Take your pick from options like Marled Blue or a Natural colorway, each of which should wear nicely with spring and summer style moves like olive or tan chinos, dark blue jeans, navy seersucker trousers or your go-to summer shorts.

Best of all? The fact that the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt should live up to its name, keeping things crisp, casually cool and effortlessly stylish. In my experience, that’s what your spring and summer style #OOTD needs.

The Sunday Sale: Save 30 Percent On this Travel-Ready Merino Wool Tee from Ibex

When is a stylish T-shirt so much more than just a T-shirt? When it’s made with plenty of functionality, comfort and performance and mind. And so it goes with Ibex, makers of some of the best merino wool menswear on the market — that goes for comfortable-as-can-be jogger pants, breezy quarter-zip sweaters and one of the best merino wool T-shirts out there.

Learn more now at Ibex

What is merino wool, and why is it worth adding to your casual wardrobe? Merino wool, hailing from Merino sheep, is one of the most impressive fibers on the planet, in my opinion — it’s naturally temperature-regulating, it wicks away sweat and moisture, it retains its form over time and it’s also anti-microbial and anti-odor. Impressive, yes?

Make no mistake though, this merino T-shirt for men isn’t quite a typical workout T-shirt. It’s ideal for hiking, training and day trips, of course, but in my opinion, Ibex makes menswear that’s as stylish as it is functional — you can feel great about wearing this men’s performance T-shirt far beyond the confines of the gym, mark my words.

And that means that the Ibex 24-Hour Short-Sleeve Crew is, in my experience, also one of the best T-shirts to wear for travel — all of those qualities make it ideal for quick coastal jaunts or flights across the ocean. In fact, I’ve worn the Ibex 24-Hour Short-Sleeve Crew to do all of that, and then some, without missing a beat.

Oh, and better still is the fact that your new favorite T-shirt is now 30 percent off at Ibex. I’ve found the fit to be tailored and flattering without being overly tight, making it ideal to wear on its own or as a travel-ready base layer beneath a field jacket or lightweight buttondown shirt.

Shop merino wool menswear at Ibex

When you consider the fact that the Ibex 24-Hour Short-Sleeve Crew comes in seven standard colors (with additional colors available), the deal gets even better. One of the best T-shirts for men, with enough variety

Style Pick of the Week: Outerknown Cloud Weave Shirt – A Sustainable, Stylish Wardrobe Upgrade

In my experience, if you know a brand for one standout item, like one of the best men’s shirt jackets, a terrific-fitting pair of jeans or some of the best leather boots, well, it’s always worth it to pay close attention when said brand doubles down on that category.

Take Outerknown, for instance. One of the most sustainable menswear brands on the market, the company (founded by surfing legend Kelly Slater) has built a devout following for its commitment to eco-friendly production. Oh, and beyond that, the company makes one of the best shirt jackets for men, the famed and fan-favorite Outerknown Blanket Shirt.

Shop shirt jackets and more at Outerknown

Here’s where that doubling down comes into play: The company’s lineup of shirt jackets for men just got even better for spring, particularly when you consider the new Outerknown Cloud Weave Shirt. What’s the difference between the Outerknown Blanket Shirt and the Cloud Weave Shirt? Reader, I’m glad you asked.

The Outerknown Cloud Weave Shirt boasts what the brand calls a loftier and looser weave then the Blanket Shirt — the Blanket Shirt features a denser and thicker knit that makes it more apt for layering on brisk fall and winter days, while this option should prove a touch lighter.

That weave comes through in matters of both form and function, as your new favorite shirt jacket is crafted with an eye-catching, multi-dimensional plaid pattern of sorts. The end result is heavyweight twill organic cotton, meaning you can layer the Outerknown Cloud Weave Shirt atop a soft cotton tee or a heavier slub henley.

Eco-friendly nut buttons keep in line with Outerknown’s commitment to more sustainable production, while oversized front flap patch pockets deliver utility for your everyday carry. While the Outerknown Cloud Weave Shirt isn’t as abrasion-resistant or as tough as a canvas workshirt, it’s a reliable layer for spring and summer bonfire evenings, camping trips and yes, brewery patio hangs.

Plus, you can feel good about rocking the Outerknown Cloud Weave Shirt, what with its eco-friendly production — and style points in spades, of course.

The Friday Read: A London Jaunt & The Best Spring Menswear for Travel

I don’t know about you, but reliability and rugged style is something I can’t quite get enough of when I build out my wardrobe of spring style essentials, let alone my wardrobe of the best travel gear. And travel has indeed been top of mind for this Brooklyn style writer as of late, to say the least, and that’s where versatile, tough-as-nails, dependable picks like my Flint and Tinder Ripstop Stretch Field Jacket (as shown above) have more than proven their worth.

Shop Flint and Tinder at Huckberry

Across the past week, I’ve found myself not in Brooklyn, but in multiple locales across Ireland and England as part of my many freelance writing pursuits, including covering the best spirits and the best spring menswear on the market.

Perhaps you’ve been following along with my travels on Instagram — those travels included time in Dublin, Tullamore and Galway, courtesy of famed Irish whiskey maker Tullamore DEW.

And those travels have also taken me down to London, all in the name of a brief stopover between yes, another spirits press trip. My London trip, of course, has proven more leisurely, and more focused on the best beers in London than Irish whiskey.

I also made time to visit a favorite London spot, Rough Trade Records, in addition to plenty of strolling across the city listening to The National, my very favorite band. What else can you ask for from a trip, right??

I’m far from done, though. From foggy London, I’ll trek to Germany and into the Black Forest with Monkey ’47 Gin, all on a quest to learn about the forthcoming release of this year’s edition of the Monkey ’47 Distiller’s Cut bottle. How’s that for an adventure where the journey is the destination?? For all these pursuits, I’ve certainly had to stay ready in terms of both form and function in my wardrobe.

And again, that’s why I’ve packed my favorite travel duffle bag with the best spring menswear from Huckberry (like that rugged men’s jacket shown above). After all, everything from wind to rain, breezy days and blazing sunsets — in Ireland, England, Germany and beyond — call for stylish, reliable men’s style essentials.

For your next spring getaway, look to pack up accordingly — naturally, that’s where this weekend’s duo of menswear posts (Saturday’s Style Pick and Sunday’s sale rundown) will assuredly help out in fine form. Check back tomorrow, layer up in style and thanks, as ever, for reading!

The Thursday Buy: This American Giant Striped Crewneck Is a Breezy Layer for Spring Days & Nights

When I look for dependable layers to ramp up my spring and summer style wardrobe, I tend to reach for pieces that take a classic and improve upon it ever so slightly. And if the piece is a bit of a swerve from the norm — say, a stylish striped long-sleeve T-shirt as opposed to a solid-colored long-sleeve tee — that’s all the better.

Let’s go one step further: When that staple piece is made the old-school way, well, you’ve hit the sweet spot, as the good folks at American Giant often tend to do.

Shop USA-made men’s style picks now

Makers of everything from some of the best American-made jeans to the brand’s famed American Giant Classic Full-Zip Hoodie, you’ll find that the company leaves no stone unturned, so to speak, in pursuit of some of the best American-made menswear on the market.

And that goes for casual picks, like the aforementioned American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew, as well as harder-to-craft picks, like blue jeans, canvas work pants or hard-wearing workshirts. A mid-weight 100 percent cotton build gives this T-shirt a breezy softness, the kind that wears well with French Terry joggers for weekend coffee outings or laidback spring patio mornings.

Best USA-made long-sleeve T-shirts for men.

Yet, the USA-made build of the American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew elevates it further — while this works as a loungewear-style T-shirt, you can also pair it with an indigo denim trucker or rock it beneath a chambray shirt for casually cool days around town.

The American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew is the sort of T-shirt that might make you rethink what it means to wear one of the best long-sleeve T-shirts — either green or navy stripes add some style points, as do the contrasting cuffs.

It’s not quite as heavy as a crewneck sweatshirt, it’s more substantial than a pima cotton T-shirt, and it’s reliable as can be. While the American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew is pricier than a standard T-shirt from a bargain-bin retailer, it’s a difference you can feel, and that’s a stylish touch I can appreciate. If you feel the same way, one of the best USA-made T-shirts is yours for the taking.

And when given the chance to layer up in versatile, rugged fashion — the kind that makes you take a second look — the opportunity is yours for the taking. So it goes with the Relwen Slub Linen Workshirt.

Most commonly used in breezy shirts, shorts, trousers and suiting, linen goes workwear here, and the resulting style is one of the best shirt jackets for men (at least, in my humble opinion).

The excellent Relwen Slub Linen Workshirt plays off the Ohio brand’s penchant for remarkably durable goods that toe the line between classic and modern, like the CPO jacket, the chino or the crewneck sweatshirt.

Two easily wearable colors choices pair up in a no-nonsense manner with tan or grey canvas work pants, too.

That being said, make no mistake: The Relwen Slub Linen Workshirt also offers easygoing style when worn unbuttoned atop a T-shirt or your favorite henley for off-duty pursuits.

Button it all the way up on especially blustery days, wear atop a thermal shirt if spring mornings or summer nights turn cool, and in essence, never stop searching for ways to really put the aptly named Relwen Slub Linen Workshirt to, well, work for you. It’s your new go-to spring shirt jacket.

Or perhaps you’re looking for a pair of the best men’s boots with extreme versatility in mind: Something that’s a bit more polished and sleek than even the best chukka boots, something that’s cooler than a pair of classic lace-up dress shoes, and something you can wear with your best tailored suit as well as timeless blue jeans.

They’re already known for making elegant lace-up dress boots, rugged hiking boots and yes, stylish leather sneakers and dress shoes, but consider the on-trend and yet versatile Chelsea boot an apt move at the moment.

When the going gets tough, the tough get Filson. Or at least, that’s what I like to say in terms of spring style essentials aplenty, and that holds true as we take a look at one of the best men’s henleys today on your favorite Brooklyn style blog.

Filson, in my experience, is a brand you can trust to cover just about any category, be it one of the best lightweight buttondown shirts, a full lineup of hard-wearing Filson waxed jackets or even stylish indigo denim that gets better with age. And what wears well with all of those rugged men’s style essentials?

The use of 6.5oz. jersey knit cotton gives this stylish henley T-shirt some texture and a substantial look and feel, never a bad thing if you want either a base layer or a versatile shirt to rock on its own. You’ll also find that the Filson Frontier Henley T-Shirt boasts a rib-knit collar that’ll hold its shape over time, all the while standing up to layering beneath a Filson twill shirt or field jacket.

And whether in Heather Grey or classic Black, I certainly appreciate touches like a Filson logo at the placket. Button up that three-button placket or unbutton it as you wish — the Filson Frontier Henley T-Shirt can stand up to denim shirting, breezy spring shirt jackets or simply your favorite pair of dark tan chinos and high-top canvas sneakers. Again, when the going gets tough, the tough wear something like the Filson Frontier Henley T-Shirt.
