See Now, Buy Now: This New Mack Weldon ACE Blazer is the Perfect Early Fall Jacket

Best fall blazers for men.

Needing to strike the right balance between comfort and style can be a tricky equation at times, at least as far as fall layering is concerned — and particularly when the occasion calls for one of the best blazers for men.

While fabrics like cotton and linen should more than suffice in the warmer months, something with a bit more heft and texture is preferred for fall and winter, yes? And that’s where my good friends at Mack Weldon rise to the occasion, and then some.

You likely know the New York City brand for its wildly soft and comfortable boxer briefs and basics, but the brand has grown into so much more over the years (as previous Mack Weldon reviews on this site attest — read up, folks!). And the Mack Weldon ACE Blazer delivers the goods, and then some, boasting a supremely comfortable mix of stretch, comfort, style and polish.

The Mack Weldon ACE Blazer is the latest and greatest menswear innovation from the brand, which also excels at modern fabrics blended with classic style silhouettes. On the surface, it features the laidback yet crisp patch pocket design of a casual blazer for men, the kind you can wear with corduroy trousers or cotton chinos as easily as with dark blue jeans.

The difference, of course, lies in an expert fabric blend of micro-brushed French terry cotton for extreme comfort and softness. There are also timeless sportcoat touches like a modern lapel and a double-back vent when it comes to your new favorite fall blazer.

Mack Weldon appears to have been right on the money when they noted that “someone invented a blazer that’s as comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt,” and in my experience, the design holds true to a precise blend of form and function. If I were you, I’d wear the handsome Mack Weldon ACE Blazer with a blend of high-and-low style essentials, like a crisply cut Oxford shirt or even a thermal henley and black jeans for style with a bit of an edge to it.

Shop the best seasonal menswear ASAP at Mack Weldon

Available in versatile colors like True Black and a light Grey Heather colorway, there’s also a perfectly fall and winter-ready Charcoal Herringbone design for a true nod to seasonal style.

Plus, you can throw on the Mack Weldon ACE Blazer and truly forget about it — it’s comfortable enough to move with you, able to be worn on a plane and then right out to drinks, and cut in the perfect weight for fall. Find out more about the Mack Weldon ACE Blazer now, ahead of the best season in menswear.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent On These Essential Fall Jeans From Bonobos

Best blue jeans for men to buy now.

We talk often on this Brooklyn style blog about the tools and tricks of the trade, about the right gear for the task at hand — clothing you can wear day in and day out, virtually regardless of season.

In my experience, the best jeans for men (although tricky at times to wear in the summer months!) belong in any toolbox (or wardrobe, rather) of menswear must-haves.

Add in denim made with expert attention to detail in terms of fit and fabric, and you’re looking at a near-indispensable offering — especially as far as pairs of the best jeans for men are concerned, my friends at Bonobos take the cake.

And while there’s plenty to sort through online at Bonobos, the famed NYC retailer — which is known for disrupting the way men’s pants fit, along with a series of handy innovations in the shopping experience — delivers a premium experience in both name and execution when it comes to the Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans.

Throw in the chance to find your new favorite pair of men’s denim — marked down 20 percent right now as head into fall — and you very well might be looking at a few new upgrades in the figurative jeans department heading into fall.

The Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans are available at a discount in three versatile yet more casual colors this season, including the lighter and fall tailgate-ready Midwood Blue shown above.

The Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans lean on premium organic cotton with a small amount of stretch, and all the proper hallmarks of some of the best-fitting jeans for men can be found in this particular pair.

That includes expertly crafted fabric, handsome details like contrast stitching and a leather back hip logo patch, and of course the proper fit for which Bonobos is known, my friends.

The Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans come in waist sizes up to 46, plus a whopping five fits to suit every body type. Complete with printed pockets — because it’s the details that really make the difference — these go-anywhere jeans are a prime, premium addition to any off-duty wardrobe, at least in my experience.

Custom rivets, a near-perfect fit and the casual construction to pair with henleys and jeans aplenty make them a surefire winner in my book: Shop and save on your new go-to blue jeans while there’s still time, folks.

See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Flyweight Flannel Shirt is Your New Go-To Shirt This Autumn

When it comes to absolutely indispensable men’s style must-haves for fall, the pieces that are going to deliver the most versatility, variety and rugged appeal day in and day out, I’d rank one of the best flannel shirts for men pretty high on my own list.

What about you? Cut with thick cotton flannel fabric and available in rich plaids and reliable solid colors, the best flannel shirts date back to the days of your grandfather (and beyond, of course), but plenty of the top brands on the market are making standout examples of the style.

Shop flannel shirts and fall gear now

Take Relwen: The Ohio-based brand takes style cues from heritage menswear, including the flannel shirts and military essentials of days gone by, and that’s why the company is such a big part of the lineup at fan-favorite adventure retailer Huckberry.

If you’ve shopped the retailer as of late, you know they’ve got some of the very best fall gear on the market, cut from rich seasonal fabrics and available in handsome colors and patterns — not unlike the options available when it comes to the Relwen Flyweight Flannel Shirt. The best men’s flannel shirts are the autumnal version of the all-season Oxford shirt, with the proper seasonal fabric and durable design to match.

As far as the handsome Relwen Flyweight Flannel Shirt is concerned, that means this one uses durable and yet soft 100 percent cotton flannel that’s been brushed for softness.

Find out more now at Huckberry and Relwen

And it doesn’t hurt that the classically cut Relwen Flyweight Flannel Shirt comes in a selection of timeless, eye-catching plaids and some neutral color options made to style with everything from olive to charcoal to navy. My personal favorite of the Relwen Flyweight Flannel Shirt lineup is a Dark Honey shade that would wear expertly with dark blue selvedge jeans.

The Relwen Flyweight Flannel Shirt also features reinforced stitching at stress points, while the collar is finished with classic and yet slightly more casual buttons for a fit that you can dress down atop a henley or dress up beneath a navy wool blazer.

For dependable style, an expert fit, soft fabric and just plain stylish good looks… lean on the classics, and the classics made modern — like one of the best new fall flannel shirts from Huckberry.

The Sunday Sale: Save a Whopping 70 Percent On the Perfect Men’s Fall Shirt at Billy Reid

Best fall shirts for men.

If you follow this style blog on the regular, it might seem that we’ve been preparing for fall for weeks at a time — and, well, that’s largely true, since opportunities arise rather quickly to amp up your #menswear rotation for fall.

Starting with shirting (and starting with savings on shirting, no less) is as good a way to go as any, and the menswear masters at Billy Reid have precisely what you need to add a fresh outlook to your style roster heading into a new season.

It gets even better: One of the most versatile shirts for men is a whopping 70 percent off via the award-winning Alabama menswear designer, and although it might sound too good to be true, it’s certainly worth a closer look.

Find out more now at Billy Reid

A holdover from last season, yet every bit as wearable now and into fall as any offering from the designer’s namesake brand, the Billy Reid Shadow John Shirt is meticulously crafted and features a multi-season, linen-like weave. Don’t let that fool you when it comes to the Billy Reid Shadow John Shirt (marked down below $70 right now!).

Helpfully, the shirt boasts easygoing everyday construction, with the kind of fit that looks especially great untucked with expertly faded blue jeans — but the real kicker with the crisply cut Billy Reid Shadow John Shirt is its fall and winter-ready Honey Plaid design, with a tasteful faded melange look.

All the details have assuredly been accounted for when it comes to the reliably stylish Billy Reid Shadow John Shirt, which also boasts a split spade chest pocket in a contrasting variation on the shirt’s handsome plaid pattern.

And although it’s woven from 100 percent cotton, the weave itself is looser — that means it won’t prove too thick or too stuffy to wear beneath a shawl cardigan or underneath a classic V-neck sweater this fall and winter.

The company recommends wearing it alongside a pair of the brand’s stellar chinos and elegantly rugged leather chukka boots, and when it comes to the Billy Reid Shadow John Shirt, I’d tend to agree.

Shop the best fall men’s style picks at Billy Reid

And the best part is, I’d wager you’ll find plenty of ways to wear such an affordable yet stylish shirt, including atop a thermal henley alongside indigo selvedge jeans this fall and winter. With a shirt as well-fitting and well-crafted (and as affordably priced!) as the Billy Reid Shadow John Shirt, the possibilities in your style lineup are endless when it comes to one of the best shirts for men. Shop and save while sizes are still up for grabs, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket – One of the Best Blazers for Fall and Winter

Best fall and winter blazers for men.

We talk often on this Brooklyn style blog about the right tools at hand when it comes to seasonal dressing — the proper selections to buy and wear in just about any scenario, whether dressed up or dressed down, mixed in with tailoring or with more casual looks.

The best navy blazers for men seem to fit the bill in terms of a ‘Swiss Army Knife’ sort of versatility, at least in my experience, and when you’re able to find a stylish blazer for men in a seasonal fabric, I’d say you should jump at the chance to bolster your rotation of men’s style essentials for fall, and my good friends at Buck Mason have you covered.

Shop Americana #menswear and more at Buck Mason

That certainly holds true for the Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket, an autumnal update to the brand’s famed Carry-On line of suiting (which you might recall from other Buck Mason reviews on this blog). Ahead of cool fall days and nights, a hearty blazer in a luxe fabric could be just what the doctor order: And my friends, the doctor is indeed in town as you layer up with the Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket.

Inspired by utterly classic navy blazers worn on Ivy League campuses (part of a style movement lovingly called by Buck Mason “Ivy Prep”), this handsome blazer is unstructured and yet boasts strong natural shoulders and 3-roll-2 construction (that means the Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket actually features three buttons, but the lapels roll to make it look like a two-button jacket — it’s a rakish touch that adds some attitude to traditional tailoring, at least in my experience).

The elegant Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket features casual patch pockets and a single center-back vent, making it more casual than a traditional two-button suit jacket (or even a navy blazer that features back double vents). But it’s the fabric that really makes the refined yet accessible Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket one of the best men’s blazers for fall and winter.

Boasting a classic fit that should still prove nicely tailored, the deep navy of this stylish men’s blazer makes it adept for pairing with a dash of everything in your rotation, from olive chinos and a white Oxford shirt to tobacco corduroy trousers and a light blue chambray shirt.

Shop men’s blazers and more at Buck Mason

Take it for a spin in high-low fashion by wearing this navy blazer atop a grey thermal henley alongside dark blue jeans (you can find both at Buck Mason). With classically cool style, Ivy Prep roots and durable construction in a sturdy blend of 95 percent wool and 5 percent cashmere, the Buck Mason Woolen Cashmere Carry-On Jacket is the height of accessible luxury for your rotation of men’s blazers this season.

The Friday Find: 3sixteen’s Classic Straight Selvedge Jeans Are some of the Finest On the Market

Selvedge denim can seem like a bit much if you haven’t explored the world of unwashed denim made from thick cotton fabric. There’s an entire community out there that goes wild for selvedge denim, often fashioned from rich denim fabric hailing from Japan. And since this is the Friday Find, where we dive into one standout item that might have flown under your radar, let’s take a look at 3sixteen, shall we?

Find out more now at 3sixteen

For those not familiar, 3sixteen’s New York City roots are rather uncanny: The brand produces some of the best jeans for men with an intensity and quality that’s hard to find in the big city at times (you might more often find it out West, as in Los Angeles, a city known for its denim and durable production methods).

But that means each wearing experience featuring 3sixteen selvedge denim is remarkable and rather special, at least in my experience.

Its carefully curated lineup of some of the finest selvedge denim on the market is hard to beat, including the 3sixteen CS-101X, a classic pair of straight-leg selvedge that will mold to your body, develop beautiful fades and wear as reliably with a thermal henley as with an Oxford shirt and a lightweight navy cotton blazer. How’s that for jeans you can really count on?

The adage that they don’t make ’em like they used to doesn’t quite apply to durable denim like the 3sixteen CS-101X, which uses a custom and multi-season raw 12oz selvedge denim from Japan’s Kuroki Mills. The end result is a beautifully rich shade of blue with all the classic selvedge detailing you might want, including a vintage-inspired fit that features a slight taper and a higher rise. Utterly classic is a phrase that comes to mind with the hard-wearing, stylish and positively versatile 3sixteen CS-101X.

And because selvedge denim can feel intimidating at first, with its stiff wash and deep blue, unfaded finish, a pair with a classic straight-leg cut like the 3sixteen CS-101X can make them feel more approachable, more wearable, more dependable.

Those qualities make them more like your favorite pair of garment-washed, lovingly faded jeans — which are also an important part of a man’s everyday casual wardrobe, at least in my experience.

Shop men’s selvedge denim and more at 3sixteen

In fact, these 3sixteen men’s jeans are even given a light rinse to ease up on the stiffness that can sometimes follow with the best selvedge jeans for men — not bad at all, right? Finished with a tan roughout leather back hip patch and branded gunmetal YKK rivets, each and every detail has been properly accounted for with this exceptional pair.

Suffice to say, if you’ve been searching for a way to get into selvedge denim ahead of fall, then I’d wager the 3sixteen CS-101X are as fine an introduction to the category as any.

The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Cashmere Crewneck is A Luxe Fall Style Essential

Best sweaters for men to wear this fall.

It’s often the little details that make the biggest difference in an #OOTD or a selection of the best menswear essentials — things like the soft touch of the right fabric, or a fit that’s just right. Of course, those can also prove to be the big details, which so often do indeed make a difference as you layer up for the season at hand.

And with award-winning menswear designer Todd Snyder, both details large and small are all carefully thought of with each passing collection — that certainly includes a luxe rotation of the best sweaters for men, which you’d do well to start thinking about as we inch ever closer to fall.

The good news for you and me both is that Todd Snyder’s assortment of the best men’s cashmere sweaters is well-stocked indeed, and that means the Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater could just become the style splurge your layering rotation needs this fall (and beyond).

The Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater offers what the designer calls “an elevated take on the essentials,” with a flattering fit, versatile crewneck construction — able to be worn on its own or over a crisp dress shirt — and an array of color options to suit every taste and sense of style. Details like ribbed stitching at the armholes and bottom hem give the handsome cashmere sweater an eye-catching appeal — that makes it visually interesting and appealing to wear on its own alongside dark blue jeans and burnished leather boots.

The Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater could even serve as a replacement for a traditional dress shirt beneath a charcoal suit at times this fall, particularly in the rich shade of plum (known as “Winestain”) shown here.

And I’d wager you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of the Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater — it’s a pricier investment at $328, but one you can assuredly make entirely your own this fall and winter.

Shop fall menswear essentials at Todd Snyder

Colors like Navy and Heather Grey offer versatility and reliable style with just about any other shade in your rotation of fall’s best pants and outerwear, but colors like Winestain represent the season most readily.

And as with other Todd Snyder menswear, although the Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater isn’t cheap, it’s most certainly worth the investment if you want a base layer — and indeed, a fashionable men’s sweater — that really isn’t so basic after all.

See Now, Buy Now: The Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket is a Certified Early Fall Style Classic

If there’s been one theme as of late on this Brooklyn style blog, it’s that it’s never too early to start thinking ahead as far as the best fall menswear essentials are concerned — they call it “shoulder season” for a reason, after all, and a classic-meets-modern retailer like Bespoke Post assuredly has you covered for seasonal style situations aplenty.

The New York City brand, which is famous for delivering some of the best online subscription boxes for men, has plenty going for it in its own right these days, including a full lineup of durable, Americana-inspired menswear via Line of Trade.

If you’ve kept up with my Line of Trade reviews on this blog, you’ll know that you can shop the brand via its own site or else through Bespoke Post, and with the new Line of Trade Fall Collection hitting digital shelves, the time has never been more optimal to shop one of the best waxed jackets for men — the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket certainly fits the bill for rugged fashion ahead of brisk days and nights ahead.

The hard-wearing, hard-working Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket starts off with durable 10 oz waxed cotton canvas on the outside, finished off with a soft, warm heavyweight cotton flannel lining.

Dependable details like brass shank buttons lend it both rugged appeal and utility, while the waxed jacket on the tough-as-nails Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket will begin to develop its own patina from the first time you try it on (think of the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket as a different take on the shorter cut of, say, the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket).

A contrasting brushed cotton twill collar lends a sense of heritage style and timeless design, while slant hip pockets are accented by a single button chest pocket for your everyday carry essentials.

This utterly classic jacket is a perfect homage to old-school ranch jackets, the kind you could wear to really get down and dirty — and yet, with an updated fit, it’s suitable for wearing atop a thermal henley for a brewery or distillery visit, and you can surely take the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket out into the field, upstate and back again while breaking it in with each passing wear.

Best of all might be the fact that the water and wind-resistant build of this jacket is fairly priced at $168 — that’s a downright steal considering the wear you can get out of what could just become your new favorite fall jacket. Here’s to the approach of the best season in menswear, my friends.

It doesn’t hurt that the LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots are on sale right now through Huckberry in sizes up to 13 and in four crisp, easy-to-style combinations of leather or suede.
