There are a few menswear essentials I consider to be true classics, as the headline would indicate – the sort of staple pieces that look great on every guy and just, well, get the job done when it comes to appealing, rugged and versatile style.

If you’ve read the blog lately, especially this autumn, then you know that Buck Mason knows a thing or two about serving up those classics — from the trusty peacoat to five-pocket corduroy pants to the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley shown above. It’s an update to throwback military pieces, with the style points to match, and it’s the sort of shirt that functions handily as a base layer or a statement piece in its own right.

Plus, when you throw in the fact that this stylishly rugged henley is built with an extended placket for a touch of visual interest, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley gets even cooler and more eye-catching. Corozo buttons give the contrasting placket a dash of style, too. It’s also made with a French rib cotton double knit construction, the better for a proper combination of softness and style.

Ribbed cuffs deliver a secure fit at your wrist, and color options like Natural (my personal favorite) and Sandstone hit the right marks in terms of style points. The Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley is built with durability in spades, it looks great with jeans, with stretch chinos and a trucker jacket or underneath a soft-shouldered blazer.

And it comes in easily wearable colors for an expert look and feel this season — yes, it lives up to its name as a tried-and-true classic, and then some.
