Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow’s Tech Pants are Some of the Most Versatile Pants On The Market

I tend to find that the best menswear brands are the ones that have a true specialty, the ones that focus on doing one thing well — and then branch out from there. Mott and Bow, with its original focus on the best jeans for men (and an easy, efficient online ordering and return process), has honed that focus in recent years with a slew of jeans, including Italian-made denim.

They’ve grown by leaps and bounds in the New York City menswear scene, at least in my experience across the past decade.

Find out more now at Mott and Bow

Yes indeed, the brand that makes your favorite blue jeans now makes everything from T-shirts to sweaters and hoodies, plus henleys, polos and stretch chinos.

And that brings us to the latest and greatest from the fan-favorite denim brand: That’d be the Mott and Bow Tech Pants, which I’ve recently taken for a spin in my many travels as I pursue stories across the country and globe.

With the Mott and Bow pedigree for making some of the best pants for men, period, it makes perfect sense that the brand would deliver a modern, fresh way to look great while on the go — and the Mott and Bow Tech Pants up the ante with innovative fabric, sleek good looks and the brand’s commitment to a flattering fit.

Mott and Bow says you’ll want to wear these pants every single day, and it’s hard to argue with that sentiment — the difference with the Mott and Bow Tech Pants starts, of course, with fabrication and follows from there with a proper fit. The use of 8 percent Sonora yarn in addition to stretch-filled polyester helps give them structure and shape while resisting wrinkles and fighting moisture and odor. Five pockets deliver storage for your everyday carry essentials, while a side-seam pocket features a zippered compartment to store other valuables on the go.

There’s much to love about the Mott and Bow Tech Pants, in my experience, but lightweight mesh pocketing also offers up comfort and wearability. The polished slim fit (about as slim as the brand’s Slim Denim) makes for a crisp look — the kind that feels at home in the office, out on the links, on a business-class flight or at dinner after a long day of travel.

Yes indeed, the Mott and Bow Tech Pants can do all of that, and then some — they’re also easy to dress down relatively quickly with a T-shirt or a short-sleeve henley, but the handsome tailored fit of the Mott and Bow Tech Pants makes them ideal to wear with an Oxford shirt and a stretch blazer, to name but one combination.

And while I opted for a sleek Granite colorway, these durable, lightweight Tech Pants also come in colors like Navy and Khaki, all the better to pair with just about any menswear offerings in your wardrobe. For supreme lightweight comfort, polished style and go-anywhere good looks, I think you’ve found a pair of pants that can take on just about anything.

The Friday Find: Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans – Your New Must-Have Pair

Welcome back to the latest and greatest Friday Find as we head into Labor Day weekend — it’s a crowded market out there in terms of the best menswear deals, which we’ll take a look at Sunday in our Sunday Sale series. But for now, let’s keep it simple and dive into the Friday Find, where I (not unlike other days on this blog!) tell you about one stellar product to just. Buy. Now.

And in a landscape where the best American-made menswear is hard to come by at times, it’s worth taking a look at Triple Aught Design and the brand’s positively stellar Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans.

While the name might be a handful, these remarkably well-built jeans are about as rugged and functional as it gets — the kind of jeans you can wear comfortably for travel, for outdoor pursuits and of course, for casually stylish fall outings.

Boasting a fit that’s more tapered than other pairs of Triple Aught Design pants (if you’ve had the chance to try the adventure-minded San Francisco brand), the Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans are made from thick yet supple Mt. Vernon raw denim and finished with double and triple-needle top stitching in handsome contrasting gold thread.

Shop Triple Aught Design menswear now

Angled hand pockets are offset by two coin pockets for small items in your everyday carry, while the Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans feature durable, custom hardware and a slim, tailored fit (they wear well with everything from chukka boots to high-top sneakers and even moc toe boots, in my experience). They’ve already begun to develop a handsome patina all their own, and here’s the real kicker: The Triple Aught Design Intercept PD Tapered Jeans are on sale right now for about 20 percent off. That’s your new favorite pair of blue jeans, all sorted out nicely.

The Thursday Buy: Lace Up these Rugged Danner Logger Moc Boots from Huckberry for Every Fall Pursuit

Danner men's boots review.

As we inch ever closer to Labor Day weekend and the unofficial closing round of summer, what menswear and gear picks have been on your mind (and perhaps, in your digital shopping cart)? Slightly cooler days and nights lend themselves to preparing for a new season — the right way, as we so often talk about on this Brooklyn style blog.

Naturally, I’ve found the best gear and menswear tends to come from Huckberry, the Americana and adventure retailer that has a penchant for stocking some of the most stylish selections on the market from a host of brands.

Shop outdoor gear and more at Huckberry

That list certainly includes the good folks at Pacific Northwest footwear maker Danner, a heritage brand that’s taken a modern turn (and not for the worse!) in recent decades.

They’ve carefully curated their lineup to include lightweight hiking boots, tactical boots, handsome leather lifestyle boots and rugged leather boots for men that fall somewhere in between all three of those categories, which is all the better if you love shopping the best boots for men.

And among that crop, the Danner Logger Moc 917 GTX fits the bill quite nicely indeed in terms of rugged throwback good looks and modern performance. The Danner Logger Moc 917 GTX boasts all the hallmarks of classic Danner boots, harkening back to the days when the Portland-based company first made boots for loggers in the 1930s using… you guessed it, GORE-TEX fabrication.

The Danner Logger Moc 917 GTX carries on that lineage in handsome fashion, using a sturdy, thick yet supple leather upper bolstered by a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX liner. The impressive combination rests atop its namesake Vibram 917 outsole, boasting a small lug rubber outsole design for traction and a wedge sole with added support at the heel.

The two-tone design of the Danner Logger Moc 917 GTX is a handsome touch, particularly when the brand uses contrast stitching across the moccasin upper. In my experience, boots like the Danner Logger Moc 917 GTX tend to wear well with durable classics, like indigo blue selvedge or perhaps light olive chinos or slate grey canvas work pants.

And you can certainly style the Danner Logger Moc 917 GTX in off-duty fashion, but the waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX construction in the liner means you can take these boots off-trail and out into the field if need be.

Shop men’s footwear and more at Huckberry

Complete with tonal laces to match the lower part of the moccasin upper, every detail has been properly thought out as far as the newly iconic, ultra-comfortable and assuredly hard-wearing Danner Logger Moc 917 GTX is concerned. Slip into a pair this fall season and let me know how they treat you.

See Now, Buy Now: This Will Leather Goods Duffle Is the Perfect Bag for All Your Fall Getaways

For as crucial as it is to keep your eye on the prize when it comes to the menswear essentials you’re packing for late summer and early fall getaways, you’ll tend to realize quickly that one of the best weekender bags for men is just as important, as we’ve so often talked about here on this Brooklyn style blog.

The way you stow and transport your favorite gear, from a perfectly crafted Oxford shirt to the right pair of do-it-all leather boots and even your dopp kit (again, a proper dopp kit!) is vital to keeping those tried-and-true essentials in fine form, it’s all the better if your stylish weekender bag of choice is built to last with heritage-quality materials.

Shop travel gear and more here

Still with me? Good, great and grand, because the good folks at Huckberry just might have managed to track down the must-have weekender bag you’ll want to tote around all fall: The Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle blends old-world craftsmanship with new-school great looks, and it could just become your new favorite weekender bag.

The Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle springs from the brand’s unlikely roots (the company started out as a one-man operation selling ornate belts on the Venice Beach boardwalk, and now calls Oregon home), and carries on a tradition of modern craftsmanship. In my experience with Will Leather Goods, its leather and materials manage to feel luxurious, right down to the handles on a canvas tote bag.

The Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle, made from full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather in a handsome shade of Cognac, comes with a removable luggage tag and all the bells and whistles needed to pack and carry your favorite gear from point A to point B and beyond. Note the fact that the Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle features a large main compartment with a two-way top zipper for easy access, along with a separate zippered shoe compartment and an easy-hanging hook built within the bag itself.

Even the plaid lining within the durable and rugged yet fashionable Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle is carefully considered, while antique brass hardware should patina handsomely the more you use one of the best men’s weekender bags for fall.

Shop accessories and outdoor gear at Huckberry

This sturdy weekender bag also features a back leather pass-through strap to slide atop your carry-on suitcase with ease, although with the ample carrying capacity within this elegantly rustic bag, you might not need a rolling suitcase for shorter trips.

Before you strike out on your next great seasonal adventure in style, make sure the Will Leather Goods Atticus Duffle is packed with absolutely everything you need — it can pass muster for the task at hand.

The Tuesday Steal: This Reliable Everyday Shirt from Relwen and Huckberry Is On Sale Right Now

Best buttondown shirts for men

Every so often as I scour the market for the best men’s style essentials, I come across a piece so near-perfect, so downright essential, it’s a wonder I didn’t have it in my wardrobe before.

You might consider these menswear essentials the sort of dependable workhorse you can trust in many a style situation, be it the best blue jeans or the right buttondown shirt.

And that’s where the best Oxford shirts for men, as we’ve discussed plenty frequently as of late, fit the bill quite nicely for days at the office, for crisply dressed date nights and also for an evening Old Fashioned after a long day in the field (literally and figuratively). And with its versatile cut, durable fabric and classically stylish good looks, the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt checks off those boxes handily, as I tend to say often.

With its ultra-lightweight and easy-to-layer cotton poplin fabric, this handsome shirt boasts all the classic styling details you could want. That hods doubly true if you happen to need a shirt you can wear untucked with dark blue jeans or tucked in beneath a navy stretch cotton blazer (dark tan chinos make for a timeless pairing with that look, I’ve found).

Shop the best men’s gear and menswear at Huckberry

And as luck and good fortune would have it, the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt just so happens to be marked down quite handily over at Huckberry at the moment — the brand is a longtime favorite of the retailer, after all, with its focus on modern updates to timeless styles, often inspired by prep menswear and the military.

What it all comes down to is that the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt is worth even more than its $100 price tag — while that might seem a steeper price to pay for a buttondown shirt, its reviews say that the quality, fit and fabric are downright impeccable (see for yourself at the product page for the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt).

And while only two shirt styles are available right now, both in varying shades of blue, this classically cool shirt comes in other colors with each new season — keep an eye out for what’s next when it comes to your new favorite buttondown shirt, and in the meantime, shop and save now at Huckberry.

See Now, Buy Now: This American Trench Field Shirt is as Durable and Dependable As It Gets

Best American-made menswear

We’ve been talking plenty as of late on this New York City style blog (by way of rural Michigan, remember that!) about how to best prepare for the season ahead while also dressing stylishly for the close at hand.

Curating a wardrobe of reliable stylish men’s basics that actually aren’t so basic is a curious proposition at times — how can a guy possibly be prepared for every circumstance out there? Well, start by looking at the fabrics and fashions you need for your day-to-day life — I think you’ll find that the American Trench Field Shirt as shown above might fit the bill nicely.

It’s hard work, folks, but brands like American Trench — and their selection of the best USA-made menswear — make it easier to dress in versatile, reliable, durable fashion, as my American Trench reviews have so often found here on this Web site (which started 12 years ago this month — how about that!).

Find out more now at American Trench

And that certainly holds true in today’s more casual times, where the right, rugged-yet-stylish buttondown shirt can go a long way — from a road trip weekend to a day in the countryside and perhaps even back at the office (if your office leans more creative and casual).

That’s plenty of boxes to check, but the American Trench Field Shirt might just meet the moment for all of those situations — as summer winds down and early fall ramps up, of course. You might say it’s one of the best American-made shirts for men, a tall order these days as so much production has been phased out of the country.

Find out more now at American Trench

But what’s made to last often stands the test of time in matters of style and function, and that’s what American Trench does very well, at least in my experience. In the case of this particular shirt, it all starts with sturdy cotton twill fabric, the kind that resists dust and debris out in the field while wearing stylishly back in the city.

The Pennsylvania-based American Trench says the substantial Japanese cotton twill, which is then fashioned in America into the shirt you see here, “positions the Field Shirt to take on the demands of everyday wear,” with military-style sleeve buttons, eye-catching angular chest pockets and a fit that wears well either tucked or untucked.

In my experience, the military roots of the American Trench Field Shirt should pair up nicely with faded blue jeans, dark indigo selvedge, black jeans or perhaps even chinos in a contrasting shade. And the American Trench Field Shirt is practically positioned as an overshirt atop a thermal henley or a pocket tee — starting now and rolling into fall. For reliable fashion you can trust, I’d wager that a well-made pick like the American Trench Field Shirt is ready to go the extra mile.

The Sunday Sale: Bespoke Post Is Now Offering a Discount on these Rugged SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots

Best sneaker boots for men.

Stepping from one season from the next — from late summer into very early fall — is often as simple as making your transition from the ground up.

So while items like classic blue jeans and a sturdy henley are men’s style essentials well-suited for multiple seasons, it’s sometimes a wise move to work a pair of rugged leather boots (or in this case, stylish sneaker boots) back into your rotation slowly but surely — as summer wanes and fall approaches, of course. And there might not be a pair of men’s sneaker boots as well suited for the moment at hand as the SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots.

As you might recall if you read this Brooklyn style blog frequently, Bespoke Post and SeaVees teamed up on the perfect pair of men’s winter boots at the end of 2023 – as luck would have it, select pairs of the handsome SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots are still up for grabs as summer draws to a close.

Shop men’s footwear and more at Bespoke Post

The SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots are now 50 percent off, with sizes going fast in two exclusive Bespoke Post colorways, designs that the upstart NYC retailer says were “inspired by the SeaVees ‘60s-era “California cool,” reflecting the shared commitment to quality and innovation from both companies.

The result? An on-sale pair of rugged, adventure-ready footwear that starts with a durable oiled leather upper blended with water-resistant Ventile cotton canvas. The SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots also boast a hard-wearing natural rubber lug outsole for maximum traction on hiking trails, rocky coastline and dewy fall morning grass, while eye-catching touches like rawhide leather laces finish off the dependable SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots in stylish fashion.

The design takes its cues from SeaVees’ popular Mammoth and Mariner Boots, but features touches exclusive to Bespoke Post, including an embossed heel logo. With an ankle-high design and sturdy construction, these hard-working boots are well-suited for everything from late summer yard work to early fall tailgates and brewery beers.

And for 50 percent off right now, it’s almost an imperative that you score a pair of the SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots while they’re still around (although take heed, since sizes are rolling away quickly). Welcome the season at hand from the ground up, as we’ve said, and you’ll be more ready for fall than ever before.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt – A Perfectly Rugged Everyday Shirt

Best Oxford shirts for men.

You might say we’ve been on a serious roll as of late when it comes to recommending the best late summer and early fall menswear for guys — it’s a tricky in-between time on some occasions, with cooler late summer nights offset by still-warm days.

And while a log cabin and the promise of fall foliage might be calling your name, there’s still the chance to hit the beach one last time. And as ever, the proper preparation makes a world of stylish difference, particularly as you dress for both the office and for seasonal getaways to close out summer. The key? Starting with the right shirt and building from there, at least in my experience.

What’s a guy to do? The answer, my friends, is a relatively easy one — layer up with transitional, rugged gear, like one of the best Oxford work shirts for men. This, my friends, is where the good folks at Huckberry can help you out in prime fashion.

While it’s sometimes difficult to layer up with a thicker denim or chambray shirt in the high heat of summer, late August is the ideal time to add a sturdy denim shirt like the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt, to your menswear rotation. It’s one part crisply cut Oxford shirt, one part workwear-inspired shirt, and as ready for bonfire evenings as a day on the job or in the drafting room (as the name implies, after all).

In my experience, the best men’s Oxford shirts, like the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt add classically rugged style and utility to your rotation. With its garment-dyed fabrication, it’s a touch more casually rugged than a classic Oxford shirt, and that’s never a bad option to have handy.

Suffice to, the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt is a handsome new option from Huckberry’s stellar in-house brand. It checks quite a few boxes when it comes to utility and performance (not unlike the latest Flint and Tinder denim jacket we talked about yesterday on this Brooklyn style blog).

Shop men’s shirts and more at Huckberry

Now, it’s not the first time we’ve talked about a stylish Oxford shirt from Huckberry and Flint and Tinder (this model very much included), but the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt gets the details right in proper fashion — in a way that only Huckberry can do. It’s also built with stretch and of course, classic buttoned cuffs to roll up those sleeves and get to work.

And with neutral, easy-to-style colorways (including Washed Green, crisp Black and a sharp Navy option), it’s about as ideal as it gets for pairing with everything from tan stretch chinos to expertly faded Huckberry jeans. Meet the demands of a new season head-on with the latest standout shirting option from Huckberry, my friends.

The Friday Find: Flint and Tinder’s Denim Trucker Jacket is A Perfect Take on a Timeless Classic

Best denim jackets for men.

As I often like to say when it comes to this new weekly series of stylish weekend finds, well, it’s sometimes best to just keep it simple: To focus on the classics as far as menswear essentials are concerned, and to focus on selections that can suit you well now and on into the cooler fall months ahead.

One of the best denim jackets for men fits the bill quite handsomely in that regard, particularly if it’s made by one of the very best online menswear stores for stylish fellas (that includes you and me both!) — and that store, as you well know if you read this New York City style blog, happens to be Huckberry.

Shop new seasonal gear and more at Huckberry

And so, let’s dial into the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket, a tasteful swerve from Flint and Tinder’s customary lineup of the best waxed trucker jackets around.

As you’ll see with the richly crafted, hard-wearing Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket, it boasts the same fabled silhouette as the iconic waxed trucker jacket from which it takes its many style cues. And the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket is all the better for it, using “sturdy 12.75oz Cone Mills rigid denim,” as Huckberry notes, along with crisp details like slanted chest pockets with rounded, eye-catching flaps.

The handsome and expertly fashioned Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket also happens to be double-stitched and finished with vertical stitching across the body, and your new favorite denim jacket also features adjustable waist side tabs.

Beyond those crisp and classic details, the hard-working Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket is unlined for easy layering as we move from summer into fall — the list of dependable benefits and serious style points goes on (and on, and on!) but for now, you just might have to discover the beauty and wearability of the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket for yourself. Happy Friday, my friends — here’s to the weekend, and here’s to plenty of value and style from Huckberry!
