See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Trap Blazer from Huckberry Blends a Classic Sweatshirt and Timeless Blazer in Style

Best blazers for men to buy now.

There’s still one last entry on the calendar to cross off before we move from 2025 into 2026, but it’s never too early — as I’ve said across the past weeks — to start thinking about how your next year will develop in matters of style and substance.

On that note, let’s start things off with a bang — and with style and savings in mind — by poring over the happenings at the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, as prime a way to roll from one year into the next as any.

Shop Huckberry’s year-end sale now through January 1st

If you’ve kept up with the blog as of late, you’ll have found that via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, there’s little that’s not up for grabs at a discount, particularly in matters of winter style (not to mention the perfect blend of cozy comfort and dashing good looks).

There are discounts aplenty on brands that aren’t for sale all that often via Huckberry, but we’ll set our sights on the fan-favorite offerings from Relwen today, a military and heritage-inspired brand with an utterly classic outlook on, well, the classics.

Ohio-based Relwen makes razor-sharp chinos, soft yet rugged flannel shirts, lined flannel shirt jackets and even some cool-as-can-be long-sleeve polos, as well as the famed Relwen Trap Blazer — it’s a streamlined, grab-and-go selection that blends the fierce determination of an old-school hunting jacket with the effortless modern cool of a lightweight blazer, and the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer goes a step further in matters of everyday comfort, fashion and reliability.

As Huckberry sagely notes, the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is “structured like a blazer, soft like a sweatshirt,” this time using a jacquard knit fabric with a smooth interior backing that’s been woven into an utterly soft, stretchy and wildly comfortable take on the classic blazer.

Best winter blazer for men.

The same hallmarks of the modern icon that is the Relwen Trap Blazer remain, like its natural-shouldered build and four-button front finished off with a handy and just-plain-cool throat latch button for added protection from the elements.

Patch front pockets help this casually rugged jacket feel like a patch-pocket blazer, while the utterly soft jersey construction means it feels and wears more like a sweatshirt, which is a major bonus in my book.

So if you’re searching for a more laidback blazer you can throw on over a contrasing T-shirt, a henley or a more rugged chambray shirt with dark blue jeans, then the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is your next menswear ace-in-the-hole.

And of course, via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, it’s on sale now for about 30 percent off. The time is plenty ripe to take stock of new and old menswear favorites: Ensure this handsome men’s blazer is among them this winter.

Despite the laidback days that mark the time between the end of one year and the start of another, I’ve found myself keeping a close eye on Line of Trade, the Americana-inspired brand known for its soft but sturdy flannel shirts, classic outerwear (think field coats and trucker jackets), supple henley shirts and thick-knit fisherman sweaters (to name but a few recent favorites).

As dreamed up by the team at Bespoke Post, it’s hard not to fall in love with best-selling style favorites like the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket.

Modeled after the classic trucker jacket with button chest pockets and hip hand-warmer pockets, this handsome trucker jacket uses an 8-wale cotton corduroy shell, while deep-pile fleece lining adds plenty of warmth when layered properly atop everything from a cotton pocket tee (on more temperate days) or a thermal henley (when winter’s worst rolls into town).

The Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket also features quilted lined sleeves for easy-on, easy-off layering, and metal shank buttons finish this durable trucker jacket in hard-working fashion. It doesn’t hurt that your new favorite trucker jacket comes in a range of fashionable-but-classic color combinations, with each featuring contrasting deep-pile fleece lining for a dash of style points aplenty.

Colors like Vintage Navy and Garnet are eye-catching and versatile when paired with dependable blue jeans, grey canvas work pants or even olive canvas fatigue-style points. The fit,, cut to hit right near the waist, should prove fairly easy to layer without being too baggy or too tight — crucial as you add this stylish trucker jacket for men into your winter #OOTD.

Priced at a highly agreeable $158 when not on sale, it’s certainly not hard to see why the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket has become a favorite among fans of Bespoke Post — to see what all the fuss is about, head over to the retailer now and

Best flannel shirts for men.

The holidays — and that period between Christmas and New Year’s — come but once a year, but thankfully, the chance to shop menswear essentials from Huckberry’s ever-growing sale section is a bit more frequent.

At least, that’s the case for the next few days as Huckberry puts on its See You Out There Sale, which celebrates the promise of stylish adventures heading into the new year, all by offering up discounts on underrated yet buzzy menswear and gear for the modern fellow.

Shop the best gear on sale now at Huckberry

The See You Out There Sale serves up savings of up to 45% off, a standout deal considering plenty of picks from Huckberry-approved retailers can prove a bit pricey at times. Case in point: The selection for this year’s must-shop winter fashion sale includes normally pricey offerings from the likes of Wax London, Freenote Cloth, Barbour and Kestin — all brands worth a pretty penny normally, but each worth your hard-earned cash right now.

And yet, the See You Out There Sale also features classic in-house picks from Huckberry, like the handsome and durable Flint and Tinder Cozy Midweight Flannel Shirt shown at the top of the page — what’s not to love about that, ehh?

If you keep up with this Brooklyn style blog, you know Flint and Tinder for its slew of modern icons, including its waxed trucker jackets, its everyday-approved 365 Pants, its shirt jackets and heritage cardigans, and even its thick-knit, anything-goes T-shirts.

So now that you can score a durable, rugged and easy-to-layer winter style move like the Flint and Tinder Cozy Midweight Flannel Shirt — while supplies last, of course — I’d say this latest Huckberry sale is sort of like the perfect storm. Everything lines up (nicely, in this case), and just in time for casually laidback seasonal layering and style points aplenty.

Made with a reliable crossback yoke for ease of movement and finished with two button-chest pockets for shirt jacket-esque layering potential, count this soft-yet-sturdy flannel shirt among the very best of the offerings on sale until January 1st at the See You Out There Sale.

For under $90, your new favorite flannel shirt is a prime example of what you can unearth when you scour the discounts on hand at the See You Out There Sale — a sale that shines a spotlight on the unexpected, but for a limited time only. Load up your (digital) shopping cart accordingly, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket – A Heritage-Approved Winter Outerwear Staple

If ever you feel like your rotation of winter style essentials is fully sorted out, be sure to keep your options open — you never know when you might need a timely upgrade in matters of form and function, and that’s where a heritage brand like Barbour can serve you very well.

Known as the premier British countryside outerwear brand for generations, Barbour is now a touch more modern and yet every bit as classically functional — especially now that a retailer like Huckberry sells plenty of Barbour winter jackets and more. Let’s take a closer look at Barbour and its mighty array of winter gear, yes?

Shop the best winter menswear at Barbour & Huckberry

Barbour silhouettes are often instantly recognizable, with heritage and history made to go far afield, whether hunting or taking on a coastal hike or a cabin weekend. Tried-and-true and reliable are apt words that come to mind when shopping Barbour winter jackets, particularly the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket (a best-seller at Huckberry that’s very much worth your time and money).

Huckberry gets it precisely correct, calling Barbour “a historic name in men’s outdoor apparel,” and that’s a spot-on estimation of a brand with more than 120 years of dependability in the outerwear game.

The Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket draws from classic field coats with a slimmer cut and a fit that hits closer to the hip, along with a stand-up collar and fleece lining for extra protection from the elements and supreme warmth without added bulk.

The Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket also boasts a snap-closure flap front and a two-way zipper design for a customizable fit — both geared to protect you from rain and wind while also offering mobility when riding a motorcycle or traversing extreme terrain.

Note that the handsome Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket features 50 grams of insulation, so it would pair best with additional layers beneath for added warmth (an ultra-thick parka, this is not — although that certainly doesn’t mean the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket isn’t more than ready for adventures off grid). The Sage color as shown here also boasts maximum versatility — exactly what you want in matters of style in the cold weather.

Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket review.

The corduroy-lined funnel neck design of the highly durable Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket is a major bonus as far as weather-ready performance is concerned, while you can use back waist tabs for a more snug fit.

And since this jacket is finished with (synthetic) leather details at the collar and cuffs, there’s an added dash of countryside flair as far as this exceptional men’s outdoor jacket as concerned.

As worthwhile a style move with charcoal wool trousers at the pub as with grey canvas work pants or dark blue jeans for a weekend away, the historic quality and reliable performance of the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket could prove a catalyst for expertly crafted winter style and warmth this season. It’s yours for the taking from Huckberry, my friends.

The Friday Find:The Helm Boots Zind Boots in Saddle Brown are as Richly Crafted as It Gets This Season

Helm men's boots review.

For starters, I hope you and yours are coming off a relaxing, utterly wonderful Christmas — and welcome back to everyone’s favorite style blog, where we dive into the charms of the season in matters of menswear, stylish men’s footwear, essential everyday carry staples and the finest gear around.

Brands that go the extra mile in precision and craftsmanship are particularly appreciated around these parts, especially this time of year — when you try on an utterly special pair of the best men’s boots, for instance, you tend to feel that difference right away, and that’s why I’ve long appreciated the good folks at Helm Boots.

And so it goes as we once again examine a brand making some of the finest boots for men on the market — it’s been some time since we talked about this Austin-based brand, masters of classically rugged boots and dress shoes since 2009, but today’s Friday Find is as a prime a time as any to dive right in.

The Helm Boots Zind Boots are a streamlined, minimal yet rugged set of leather boots for men, crafted on a custom last for a dressy-meets-versatile silhouette — the kind that, as the brand says, you can wear with a tailored navy suit to the office during the week, and then out and about with a waxed trucker jacket, a thermal henley and faded blue jeans across the weekend.

The Helm Boots Zind Boots get the details large and small correct, including the use of full-grain Krumenauer leather, plus Blake Rapid Stitch welt construction for durability while also remaining relatively affordable.

The Helm Boots Zind Boots also feature hallmarks of the Austin-based brand, including the company’s eye-catching, signature white midsole and leather-lined construction with an ultra-comfortable leather insole made to mold to your feet over time.

With their textured leather upper that should patina with exceptional quality and striking good looks over time, the Helm Boots Zind Boots look like a pair from a much more expensive brand, complete with durable construction, finishing touches like antique brass eyelets and a grippy yet not-overbearing Denver last. When winter comes calling and a pair of dress boots are the solution to your next #OOTD, make sure you’re lacing up a pair of the Helm Boots Zind Boots.

The Thursday Buy: This Billy Reid Hunting Jacket is a Rugged Outerwear Upgrade This Winter

Billy Reid Hunting Jacket.

One of the things I love the most as I scour the market for the best winter style essentials? That’d be stumbling upon a piece that calls to mind vintage style inspiration while leaning heavily on rugged, modern fabrication — talk about quite the combination, right?

And one of the best field jackets certainly qualifies as a surefire seasonal style upgrade, and the Billy Reid number shown at the top of the page checks those boxes.

It’s inspired by classic hunting and field jackets as well as a piece sourced from Billy Reid’s 2022 menswear collection — not exactly a massive throwback, to be sure, but one worth your time and hard-earned cash from an acclaimed menswear designer, yes? The Billy Reid Hunting Jacket toasts 20 years of the famed designer’s namesake brand, one I’ve long admired –I have a feeling I’d love the brand just as much even if they didn’t make James Bond’s favorite peacoat, but that pedigree certainly doesn’t hurt.

Shop Billy Reid menswear must-haves now

The Billy Reid Hunting Jacket boasts a stand-up, moleskin-lined collar for protection from the elements, plus an ultra-sturdy, hard-working Halley Stevensons waxed cotton exterior. Add in the onion fabric liner (in signature Billy Reid colors), and you’ve got a weather-ready jacket built for just about anything — and when it comes to Halley Stevensons, the Scottish company has been delivering some of the toughest fabrication on the market for generations.

Two exterior hip hand-warmer pockets are joined by exterior hip flap patch pockets for your everyday carry essentials, while hits of golden-brown detailing (another Billy Reid signature) cement the Billy Reid Hunting Jacket as both a rugged, modern classic and a highly functional-yet-stylish casual jacket.

Billy Reid seems to suggest pairing the Billy Reid Hunting Jacket with a richly crafted shawl collar sweater and wool trousers, and this sturdy waxed jacket would also wear more than fashionably with dark blue indigo jeans, trusty broken-in leather boots and a thermal henley — casually rugged style at its finest, at least in my experience.

While the Billy Reid Hunting Jacket isn’t nearly as refined as other Billy Reid men’s outerwear — including the brand’s selection of tasteful wool overcoats and the utterly iconic Billy Reid Bond Peacoat — this handsome jacket delivers the sort of go-between, everyday style well-suited for blustery, brisk days aplenty.

And although the Billy Reid Hunting Jacket isn’t cheap (it’ll run you $698), there’s an investment-level quality to this piece — and other Billy Reid menswear selections, of course. If that sounds like something you can get on board with, then you’ve found your new go-to casual winter coat.

The TEREN Traveler Pants also pack in a ton of pockets alongside a subtly streamlined frame — three of those pockets are hidden and zippered, ensuring your everyday carry essentials (one is even large enough to hold your passport) stay safe, secure and dry.

Details like a strong magnetic waist closure and drawstring cord waist (alongside traditional belt loops) also keep things naturally streamlined and sleek, and stain protection is another major reason to love the new TEREN Traveler Pants.

Take the opportunity to travel with your favorite watches, for instance: The watch collector and enthusiast among us — whether a budding fan or a longtime devotee — knows that traveling with more than one watch can prove a tricky endeavor at the best of times. How do you store these watches? A trusty pocket in a duffle bag is one thing, but space can go quickly if you value traveling with two or more watches (as I so often do).

So, a selection that solves a common problem — how to travel with more than one watch — is invaluable, at least in my experience. And as you might have seen if you follow me on Instagram, the Discommon Watch Wallet 2.0 has proven a mighty useful addition to my travel wares and my everyday carry, and that’s perhaps an understatement as I crisscross the country and globe in my many freelance writing pursuits.

The Discommon Watch Wallet 2.0 solves a problem I’ve started running into frequently as I hit Delta Diamond Medallion status — more frequent trips and more longer trips call for more than one watch, and this downright innovative design is a major life and travel hack, at least in my experience.

Elastic cloth pockets within a handsome leather shell offer space for watches of various sizes, while two snap leather straps expand space for watches within. The tweed inner offers softness and protection for your very favorite watches of all designs, and the fact that the watch wallet is padded delivers maximum protection on the go.

Multi-layer paint coats the edges of the hand-finished and carefully tooled design, which comes in Impact Orange and versatile (yet sold-out) Wolf Gray). The Discommon Watch Wallet 2.0 even comes with its own soft gray drawstring carrying case for added protection, and this stylish travel watch solution also features a passport/ticket pocket — it solves for more than one travel problem with form and function in mind.
