Best fall and winter blazers for men.

There’s something to be said for stocking your wardrobe, especially your tailored assortment, with utterly versatile pieces you can mix and match — and wear — almost at will. Pieces like the navy blazer, the tan or olive chino and the white Oxford shirt come to mind, but what about when your wardrobe craves a touch more variety? That’s where a designer like the famed Todd Snyder comes to mind, with an assortment of luxurious tailoring that’s just different enough from the norm (along with certified menswear classics aplenty, of course).

But today’s on-sale style selection is just different enough to keep your wardrobe on its toes in time for fall, with all the makings of an eye-catching staple for one heck of a price (try 60 percent off on for size, will ya?).

Perhaps the best part about scoring this classically designed jacket right now is the fact that the Todd Snyder Italian Flannel Wythe Jacket is perfectly ready to wear right this very instant — and yes, the Todd Snyder Sale section boasts plenty of gear and menswear better suited for spring and summer, but if I were you, I’d revel in the chance to score a stylish seasonal staple at a low, low price.

Would you expect anything less than the very best from Todd Snyder, after all? I should think not, and the chance to shop this ultra-stylish fall blazer should make for a prime wearing experience this fall and winter.

See Now, Buy Now: These Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots are a Certified Seasonal Classic

Best chukka boots for men to buy now.

Here at this Brooklyn style blog, we’ve been talking plenty about the best fall style essentials, the selections you simply can’t live without this season — from the ground up, starting with the best boots for men and carrying on through to essential base layers, waxed jackets and more.

But let’s circle back quickly to the boots you’ve got on your feet, perhaps even right now, as it’s high time to slot in some much-needed boot-wearing as a functional change of pace from summer’s trusty canvas sneakers and leather loafers.

Welcoming the brisk climes of fall is made all that much better, easier and more stylish if your footwear is up to par, be it for cabin weekends away, afternoon walks and even days at a more casual office or a coffee shop.

And with their positively legendary design, hard-wearing specs and versatile good looks, the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots absolutely qualify as both a certified fall style classic and some of the best boots for men, period. The even better news? You can pick ’em up as part of a full-on fall #OOTD via the good folks at Huckberry.

Shop men’s boots and more at Huckberry

Naturally, like other selections when it comes to the goods being sold by Huckberry, the handsome, rugged and highly functional Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots are as overbuilt as it gets, in the best way possible.

The beauty of the highly durable, expertly crafted Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots lies in both the details large and small, like the flexible and lightweight Hill outsole, with a textured design for traction and durability (just like other pairs of Red Wing work boots, as luck would have it). That outsole meets hard-wearing leather or suede across four varieties of boots.

Now, if ou follow me on Instagram, you might have seen I’ve tried the White Sand Mohave variation of the impossibly comfortable, sturdy and stylish Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots — just check ’em out above. I’ve found these chukka boots to be incredibly lightweight and supple out of the box, yet fashioned with a tough, dependable design — the three-eyelet build and rather chunky outsole make them an expert casual style move alongside everything from rolled chinos to light wash jeans.

The use of Copper Rough and Tough leather, which will develop an eye-catching patina over time, makes the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots a major winner in my book of rugged fall style for guys, too. And since they’re sold by Huckberry at the moment, you’re getting a guarantee of quality, reliability and utterly timeless style. The next time you’re searching for a pair of the best men’s chukka boots, the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots should be your new go-to, my friends.

In the crowded world of menswear, it’s always worth taking a closer look at a brand that’s committed in steadfast fashion to sturdy, overbuilt gear, in the best way possible. That ethos certainly rings true when it comes to my friends at Triple Aught Design, the San Francisco-based menswear brand with a deep focus on tactical, performance-inspired, absurdly rugged gear fit for situations on land, in the air, on the trail and across the globe.

Shop new men’s gear and more at Triple Aught Design

Lofty praise though that might be, it’s selections like one of the best denim jackets, or one of the softest yet most durable cotton henleys, or even a pair of the best selvedge jeans for men, that cement the company’s vision centered around performance and style.

And that’s what makes the Triple Aught Design Equinox Shift Sale so worth shopping — for the next three or so days, take 25 percent off sitewide on a stylish, hard-wearing, rugged assortment of gear, from your new favorite denim jacket to a tactical field coat, expertly fitted jeans and chinos, sleek base layers and much more.

It doesn’t hurt that the offerings up for grabs at the Triple Aught Design Equinox Shift Sale are perfectly suited for the season ahead: Think strong-yet-supple cotton twill shirting, tough-as-nails work pants, even hard-working bags and everyday carry essentials.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket – A Hard-Wearing Spin on a Fall Classic

Best waxed jackets for men.

In my experience, there should be a joy in getting dressed for the autumn season with the best fall style essentials. After all, the season’s more brisk climes give you plenty of opportunity to wear your favorite layers as frequently as possible, from richly crafted chambray shirts to thick sweaters and of course, an array of the best waxed jackets on the market.

With its water-repellent finish and durable waxed cotton or cotton canvas construction, waxed outerwear is practically a must-have for the guy who values casually rugged style, and that’s where Huckberry has cornered the market over the past decade or so (just check out the photo below for an example of what the good folks at Huckberry do so well).

Huckberry’s Flint and Tinder lineup, as you well know if you read the blog, is already assuredly well-known for making one of the best waxed trucker jackets on the market, but they’ve expanded their Flint and Tinder roster in recent years to include slightly more refined silhouettes.

Shop the best waxed jackets and more at Huckberry

That includes the Harrington jacket, originally a style fashioned in Britain to fight back against wind and rain — and later worn rather famously by style icons like Steve McQueen (he preferred a Baracuta G9 Harrington, for the record — which Huckberry has also sold in the past!).

And now, Huckberry is stepping up to the plate once more with another version of one of the best men’s waxed jackets, and this time, it’s the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket — an even more weather-ready version of a truly legendary piece of outerwear.

It’s packed with the sort of functional bells and whistles one has come to expect over the years from Flint and Tinder, including hard-wearing fabric (in this case, a dry wax Halley Stevensons fabric made to repel wind and rain).

The fact that the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket comes in rich Dark Navy as well as a cool, crisp and neutral Dark Olive is a major bonus in terms of style points, but it’s the handsome fabrication that makes the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket such a winner in my book.

In my experience wearing the utterly classic yet modern Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket, it’s plenty comfortable and not overly bulky — a micro-flannel interior lining provides warmth, while poly-lined sleeves make for an easy-on, easy-off wearing experience.

The corduroy collar and cuffs that finish off the casually rugged Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket are a timeless touch, while a buttoned throat-tab closure provides more coverage should you need it (and of course, the custom F&T hardware is substantial and sturdy).

If you ask me, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket is the definition of a grab-and-go travel jacket, especially layered over a thermal henley with dark blue jeans, but if I were you, I’d also look to the icon Steve McQueen for more insight on how to wear a Harrington jacket. Upgrade your outerwear ASAP with the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket, my friends.

The Friday Find: The Taylor Stitch Bourbon Corduroy Ojai Jacket Is Handsome Fall Style Personified

Best chore jackets for men.

Now that we’re past the first day of fall — always a momentous time on my own personal calendar for a number of reasons — it’s high time you kicked things into high gear as far as your array of autumn style essentials is concerned.

The best menswear for fall expertly balances rugged appeal with versatility, rich texture and even seasonal, carefully considered colorways — as luck would have it, the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket checks each of those boxes in a handsome silhouette that nods in expert fashion to iconic French chore coats.

And it’s all thanks to the good folks at Taylor Stitch, a brand I’ve admired for a decade and one that has some serious chops as far as the variety of its classic-meets-modern menswear rotation.

The Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket is every bit as much of a brand staple for the San Francisco outfitter as its expertly crafted Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, a modern version of the timeless Oxford shirt. Its array of sturdy cotton tees, the Heavy Bag Henley, its two different cuts of chinos and of course, the utterly cool Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket are also heavy hitters, to be sure.

And while it’s a high bar to clear, the casually roguish stylings of the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket might just be the best-suited of the bunch for fall, particularly in eye-catching, richly crafted organic cotton corduroy in a mighty tempting shade of Bourbon.

With top and side-entry hip patch pockets and a chest patch pocket for your everyday carry, plus secure ring-back buttons, this jacket is as functional at the workshop or drafting table as it is stylish enough for sipping on a speakeasy Old Fashioned.

Whether layered over a rugged organic cotton henley or worn atop a Taylor Stitch chambray shirt for high-low style, this is a surefire seasonal winner — and an expert Friday Find pick, if I do say so myself. Good luck layering out there this fall, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: Amberjack Just Debuted Some of the Most Comfortable Chukka Boots for Men on the Market

Best chukka boots for men.

When a company looks to innovate a classic silhouette in a major way — like, say, forging a path ahead to make your go-to dress shoes and boots that much more comfortable — I’d say it’s worth paying attention (and perhaps adding a pair or two to your wardrobe).

New York City’s Amberjack has been on that quest for a number of years now, pioneering some of the most comfortable dress shoes for men — as you’ve seen in Amberjack footwear reviews on this blog — by using sports sneaker technology blended with the crisp good looks of richly crafted leather dress shoes.

Find out more now at Amberjack

The Amberjack footwear lineup now includes some of the best slip-on shoes as well as Chelsea boots, a pair of stylish suede captoe dress shoes and as of this season, the Amberjack Chukka Boots, as fine an example as any of supreme comfort and utterly timeless good looks.

The newly launched Amberjack Chukka Boots are a welcome addition to the lineup and a style requested by fans of the brand who know that comfort underfoot makes all the difference. In my experience, Amberjack dress shoes deliver rebound, comfort and support out of the box, with no break-in time required, and one imagines much of the same will hold true as far as the Amberjack Chukka Boots are concerned.

When it comes to the sleek and stylish leather chukka boots on display here, these handsome chukka boots blend a full-grain leather upper and soft sheepskin lining that I’ve found is supple and easy to wear right out of the box.

The cgain their comfort and performance from a dual-function athletic outsole made from flexible TPU, while its arch support is activated by heat to form to your foot — it’s an ingenious dose of technology that elevates them from traditional benchmade dress shoes (although it’s also wise to consider investing in a more classically made pair from time to time).

With their taller four-eyelet upper, the Amberjack Chukka Boots (available in leather and outsole combinations like Chestnut and Mocha as well as grey suede Obsidian) should offer ankle support as well as a smooth ride all day long. Given the blend of hybrid tech and style points aplenty, the Amberjack Chukka Boots should pair nicely with other tried-and-true staples in your style rotation, from tobacco-hued chinos to rolled light wash jeans and even dark olive corduroy trousers.

Shop comfortable men’s dress shoes and more at Amberjack

You can even style the versatile Amberjack Chukka Boots as you might a slightly more casual or rugged pair of lace-up leather boots: Try ’em on for size with a thermal henley, a chambray shirt and dark blue selvedge denim (just as I would this fall, my friends!). When comfort is called for and you need dependable style that won’t quit, opt for a new pair of the Amberjack Chukka Boots, folks.

The company uses a yarn-dyed cotton-poly weather cloth for a supple handfeel and lightweight fabrication, but it’s then finished off with a Durable Water Repellent treatment (not unlike other variations of your favorite waxed jackets).

The Buck Mason Storm Stopper Bomber Jacket is also fully lined for an easy wearing experience — style this hard-working bomber jacket atop a cream fisherman sweater or else a light khaki henley or even a clean, classic pocket tee.

They’re a tried-and-true style staple you can make work in at least three seasons, with the sort of sleek versatility that wears as well with dark blue jeans as they do with charcoal wool trousers, and once you’ve tried on a pair like the FRYE Paul Chukka Boots, you might realize that there’s no better pair for your refined-meets-casual wardrobe.

You could call the chukka boot a more grown-up version of the desert boot — with the desert boot oftentimes proving more casual and set atop a crepe rubber outsole. But the FRYE Paul Chukka Boots are sort of like a more refined, grown-up older cousin of the tried-and-true desert boot (the kind made by the likes of Clarks and others), and your wardrobe is all the better for it.

Particularly in a rich shade of tan Bark fashioned in luxe suede, these tasteful chukka boots, with their streamlined profile, add a mix of casually cool and yet refined style to many a look: Consider the FRYE Paul Chukka Boots a way to dress up dark blue jeans or add a touch of laidback cool to looks that revolve around charcoal corduroy pants and a navy blazer, for instance.
