The Thursday Buy: These Sunski Tango Sunglasses Are an Affordable Everyday Carry Upgrade Available at Huckberry

As you shore up your lineup of the best men’s gear for spring and summer, I’m curious: What’s at the top of your list as far as everyday carry essentials — and much more? There are considerations aplenty to keep in mind, from selecting the right pair of canvas sneakers or boat shoes to dialing in the fit of your shorts, your swim trunks and your ever-trusty spring polo or T-shirt. Yes, there’s plenty at play — much of which you can always find at do-it-all retailers Huckberry — but don’t let your EDC fall by the wayside.

Shop the season’s best gear and goods now at Huckberry

Accessories like the best men’s sunglasses, of course, finish off an #OOTD, add a dash of style points and deliver critical sun protection — and a company like Huckberry has the proper stock to make it all happen for you in affordable fashion, starting with the Sunski Tango Sunglasses and their sub-$130 price tag. That price makes those stylish men’s sunglasses a steal in any season, but particularly now — the beach and the boardwalk are calling, after all.

Fashioned from lightweight, eco-friendly Tortoise Amber (at least when it comes to this handsome pair of classically styled sunglasses from Sunski and Huckberry), the Sunski Tango Sunglasses boast durable touches like stainless steel hinges and polarizes lenses for some major bang for your buck, while the rounded lenses and keyhole nose bridge are a retro look made to be dressed up with an Oxford shirt and a navy blazer, or dressed down with a breezy slub cotton tee and linen shorts.

The Sunski Tango Sunglasses also come in some appealing lens and frame color combinations to suit every style, like a blue Midnight and golden Cider variety for an even further dash of retro flair.

Perhaps the best part of the Sunski Tango Sunglasses beyond the price might just be the variety of options available in a pair of sub-$130 men’s sunglasses — playful sepia-tinged lenses even deliver eye-catching good looks that could prove a bit more fashion-forward if you’d like to push the envelope ever so slightly with your everyday carry and your eyewear selection of choice.

As Huckberry sagely notes, “style and superior protection” are at the core of the latest best-selling pair of Huckberry frames, and your new favorite sunglasses are — again, as Huckberry says — “perfect for anyone who wants to look great while staying protected under the sun.” If I had any say in your next eyewear upgrade, the Sunski Tango Sunglasses are absolutely ideal, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: These Todd Snyder Selvedge Jeans are an Expert Seasonal Style Addition

In my time writing about the best menswear essentials and must-shop brands for guys, I’ve had the chance to watch certain companies blossom and grow, as it were (it’s spring, after all!), turning into new standards for the modern man.

Lofty praise though that might be, that’s what Todd Snyder has brought to the #menswear game and perhaps, to your wardrobe in the past decade-plus, from opening his first store in New York City to changing and perfecting the way guys wear everything from T-shirts to selvedge denim, Italian tailoring, luxe flannel shirt jackets, crisply cut sweater polos and much, much, much more.

I’d wager if you want to look great, you need only shop at Todd Snyder for everything from the basics to style splurges — and a few choice pieces in between, like a pair of the best selvedge denim. Classic denim is something of a specialty for the designer, with some pairs made in L.A. and large amounts made with high-quality 100 percent cotton denim.

Find out more and shop now at Todd Snyder

It’s selvedge denim of the light wash variety that we’re talking about today, as the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans arrive in a suitably spring-ready variation that loosens things up a touch and certainly lightens things up from your typical pair of thick, inky blue selvedge denim. It’s an all-American update to an all-American classic, with a lived-in look and feel that the designer says is “loaded with quality, vintage-inspired details,” including oxidized rivets and a shank button fly, not to mention genuine selvedge trims for a handsome shot of contrast and authenticity.

Yes indeed, in my book, the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans look like you’ve had ’em for years, all the while proving lighter and easier to wear in the warmer days of spring than your thickest pair of indigo selvedge (although, speaking from experience, it can be tough to put away beloved pairs of selvedge denim, can it not?).

Shop new spring must-haves now at Todd Snyder

With a tailored fit through the thigh and a tapered fit through the ankle, these jeans should look crisp and par just as stylishly with chunky leather loafers as with classic suede chukka boots or leather moc toe boots.

In fact, you very well might want to try your hand at dressing up the Todd Snyder Slim Selvedge Jeans ever so slightly with a lightweight navy cotton blazer and a white Oxford shirt this season, among other must-try seasonal combinations. When quality is of the essence and versatility is what your style playbook needs, Todd Snyder is quite simply the man to see, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: These Work-Focused Chukka Boots from Huckberry and Rhodes Footwear Belong On Your Feet

Another day, another foray into spring style essentials, and we once again find ourselves talking, if briefly, about the best footwear for men — in this case, we’re diving into a slightly more rugged pair than yesterday’s feature on the best new boat shoes from Astorflex. Instead, let’s turn towards the humble, hard-working chukka, once again offered up by our friends at Huckberry.

Shop seasonal style essentials and more at Huckberry

While style legends like Steve McQueen made the chukka boot an easygoing yet rugged staple, Rhodes Footwear now takes that same DNA to heart decades later and ramps things up a notch in terms of dependable, workwear-inspired style and utility.

Granted, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots aren’t as spring cleaning-approved as steel-toe lace up work boots, so the style perhaps wears more stylishly for off-duty pursuits, but the rugged name remains the same — and just as worthy of your consideration. Throw in the fact that your new favorite chukka boots are marked down by more than $100, and the gettin’ is as good as it’s ever been when it comes to the best footwear to buy now from Huckberry.

For those not in the know quite yet, Rhodes Footwear is the in-house, classically inspired footwear brand from Huckberry — essentially, from moc toe wedge boots to durable chukka boots and even sneaker boots, these shoes pair expertly with other Huckberry-branded favorites, from waxed trucker jackets to expertly faded selvedge denim.

The Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots hail from footwear capital Leon, Mexico, a place that knows a thing or two about expert footwear craftsmanship, while the company’s lightweight Meramec PU outsole delivers rebound and springy comfort, while a leather-lined insole molds to your foot and provides a further dose of comfort.

Available in Taupe and a rich Cognac leather, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots pair easygoing good looks with plenty of durability for the low, low price of $125 — you might not find a better deal on the best men’s chukka boots than this pair here, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now These New Astorflex Boat Shoes are an Easygoing Menswear Must-Have this Coming Season

As you bolster your assortment of men’s style essentials and look to a breezy new season up ahead, there are a few orders of business to take care of as you survey the landscape and stow away your winter boots.

Building an ensemble can start in two ways depending on the occasion, at least in my experience: From the breezy layers you’re rocking up top, or else crafting a look with casual, easygoing, prep-meets-modern footwear in mind. Huckberry, of course, has the goods, from an array of crisp leather sneakers to casually cool chukka boots, leather loafers and naturally, the footwear in question today at the top of the page.

Find out more now at Huckberry

And if a pair of the best boat shoes for men happens to be on your mind in these early days of spring, we’ve got just the pair for you to consider ASAP — meet the brand-new Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes, yet another pair of remarkably well-crafted, sustainable suede shoes hailing from the family-owned Italian factory that also makes some of your favorite chukka boots, among other prized styles approved by the Huckberry team.

The Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes make use of top-quality bovine suede, a change of pace compared to leather boat shoes (and making them more well-suited for the boardwalk than the actual deck of a boat in choppy waters, at least in my humble opinion).

Of course, you could certainly treat the Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes with waterproof suede protector, a wise move at any rate — whether you style the Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes with tailored swim trunks and a patterned buttondown shirt or with stretch chino shorts and a short-sleeve henley.

The Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes are also lined in calf leather for breathability and a fit that molds to your foot over time, while its memory foam insole offers a further shot of comfort and all-day wearability. Plus, the handsome Sand Suede of the Astorflex Dockflex Boat Shoes wears well with everything from olive chinos to rolled light wash denim, while moc toe stitching delivers a stylish touch of contrast across the upper.

Find out more now at Huckberry

Rawhide laces add a more rugged touch, while the wedge outsole is crafted from natural rubber, as with other Astorflex boots and shoes (a lineup Huckberry also sells to great effect, it should be noted!).

With their versatile, grab-and-go sensibility and the chance to style them with everything from swim trunks and a muscle tee to a retro-minded camp collar shirt and linen shorts, there’s nothing quite like the casual-yet-sharp style you’re getting from these stylish men’s boat shoes this summer — the style world is yours for the taking, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Rugged Denim Shirt from Bespoke Post and Line of Trade Gets The Job Done — See For Yourself

When the opportunity arises to bolster your wardrobe with a new twist on an old favorite, you very well might take it as a sign that it’s time to update your wardrobe ever so slightly with new menswear essentials for a new season.

For instance: Although I’m willing to bet you’ve stocked your casual wardrobe with the best denim shirts for men — and the best chambray shirts for men — what about taking a chance at securing an on-sale steal that takes a fresh approach to a rugged menswear classic?

That’s precisely what you’re going to love about the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt, a revamped take on the hard-working denim shirt for men hailing from the lauded in-house brand from New York menswear purveyors Bespoke Post.

Shop new gear for spring and more at Bespoke Post

In fact, I’ve had the chance to test out the dependable Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt these past few weeks (as you might have seen on my Instagram Stories), and I simply can’t say enough good things about the remarkably well-constructed — and now nicely discounted — shirt from Bespoke Post.

Fabricated from mid-weight cotton denim with a hefty handfeel — almost like a shirt jacket compared to a more lightweight denim shirt — the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt gets its own 3-year wash treatment that lends softness to this stylish denim shirt, particularly in its Washed Black design (my personal favorite).

The Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt also features notable contrast stitching in a handsome golden thread that’s also double stitched for extra durability, while its barrel cuffs are designed with a vented finish — all the better to roll those cuffs up or flip them back to show off your new favorite watch alongside the dependable and hard-wearing Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt.

A button pocket adds some character to the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt, which is just the right length to wear untucked atop a pocket tee or a lightweight henley (or all on its own!), at least in my experience.

And while I’ve worn my new favorite denim shirt with olive chinos as well as dark indigo selvedge denim, the good folks at Bespoke Post say that “whether you’re dressing it up or beating it up, this one’s sure to be your rotation for a good long while.” After test driving this fashionable men’s denim shirt to start this season, I’d certainly have to agree. Layer up and shop (on sale) accordingly, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Suede Harrington Jacket -A Luxe Take on an Outerwear Essential

For as much as our weekly Style Pick entry is about finding a versatile favorite at an agreeable price, it’s sometimes nice to keep your wardrobe guessing, or at least lean into a bit more aspirational of a selection, particularly when that aspirational menswear takes a hard-earned favorite like the Harrington jacket and dials things up a notch (or 10).

Originally developed in Britain with features like a classic stand-up collar and lightweight yet sturdy fabrication to keep out the rain and wind, the Harrington jacket was made famous Stateside by the likes of style icon Steve McQueen, among others (my Fatherly guide to the Harrington jacket gives you a full crash course on the style, as it were).

is now redone to great effect by award-winning designer Billy Reid — just in time to slot in alongside your other spring style essentials with luxury in mind. Plenty of luxury, at that — one of the coolest new men’s jackets for spring just hit the Billy Reid New Arrival section, I’d say, and you’re going to have a heck of a lot of fun dreaming about wearing the Billy Reid Suede Harrington Jacket, I’m willing to bet.

Learn more now and shop new menswear at Billy Reid

You see, the luxurious and elegant Billy Reid Suede Harrington Jacket, fashioned from 100 percent goat suede, features all the design trappings of the iconic Harrington jacket, including its stand-up collar and raglan sleeve construction for greater ease of movement (and easygoing layering atop an Oxford shirt, a linen buttondown, one of Billy Reid’s famed Pensacola Polos or else just a laidback pocket tee).

The Billy Reid Suede Harrington Jacket features a cut that should hit just above the waist — pay attention to Billy Reid’s sizing guide — while classic Billy Reid touches like brass hardware offer an elevated touch. Side slant hip pockets are another useful touch for stowing your everyday carry essentials, while a lightweight cotton lining gives this stylish men’s spring jacket some structure.

Its Dark Spanish Moss suede is especially appealing whether worn alongside light khaki chinos, dark blue jeans, light wash selvedge denim or even grey linen shorts and tan leather loafers, and the style points pick up serious steam from there.

Yes indeed, among all the enviable jackets you might wear or splurge on this spring, I’d say the handsome Billy Reid Suede Harrington Jacket just might be the best of ’em all as far as elevated yet easy-to-wear style is concerned — simply throw this one on over a black cotton tee alongside blue jeans, lace up some white leather sneakers and get ready for the compliments to roll in.

The Friday Find: The Bradley Mountain Ranger Duffle Is The Best Bag for Your Next Spring Road Trip, And Then Some

When you step back and think about your rotation of the best men’s gear for your day-to-day, from the perfect chambray shirt to essential leather boots and a stylish everyday watch, it’s often curious to me what brands rise above the fray and become day-to-day staples before you’ve even realized it.

There are plentiful brands in my rotation that pop up very, very often on this Brooklyn style blog, and there are others that re-enter after a long time away, like the USA-made gear purveyors at Bradley Mountain.

Learn more and shop ASAP now at Bradley Mountain

I’ve written about Bradley Mountain — and its Tennessee-based approach to rugged, timeless gear that’s built to last — since about 2017 in various Bradley Mountain gear reviews, but they haven’t graced the pages of this blog in some time. That all changes today, as we take an overdue look at one of the best weekender bags for men, the Bradley Mountain Ranger Duffle.

It’s all happening as part of our Friday Find series, where we unearth the best of the best from brands you might not have considered or perhaps not quite heard of yet.

That all changes today, and just in time for spring and summer travel season. Gear up, because Bradley Mountain makes sturdy, hard-wearing travel essentials from dopp kits to tote bags, not to mention a very pleasing and utterly exceptional range of waxed field jackets, waxed bomber jackets, flannel overshirts, even a small run of military and field watches to complement your next casually rugged #OOTD. But about the Bradley Mountain Ranger Duffle, ehh?

Featuring a nicely sized 42-liter volume crafted from ultra-sturdy yet supple 18oz. waxed duck canvas that’s practically begging to be broken in, the Bradley Mountain Ranger Duffle comes in versatile, agreeable shades of material like Field Tan or a military-inspired olive drab, all the better to develop some serious patina on the road.

Paired with thick and long-lasting 9oz. USA harness leather to round out its trim and handle, an antiqued brass zipper works mighty well alongside old-school copper and brass hardware, all the better to deliver durable transport of your favorite style essentials.

Shop the best men’s travel gear at Bradley Mountain

Perhaps most useful on the Bradley Mountain Ranger Duffle might be its three exterior pockets, plus one interior zipper pocket to streamline your everyday carry from point A to point B.

This stylish men’s duffle bag certainly feels TSA-approved, but might perform even more dutifully when tossed in the back of your truck ahead of a weekend getaway — alongside other Bradley Mountain gear, of course. Your new favorite weekender bag, and the promise of spring adventure, awaits with the Bradley Mountain Ranger Duffle.

The Thursday Buy: This Harry’s Cologne Is One of the Best Colognes Men Can Buy For Spring (And Beyond)

Best colognes for men to buy this spring.

Welcome to Thursday, my friends. While we tend to stay more focused on the best menswear for guys to buy now, along with accessories like the best watches and travel gear, it’s not all that often we stray from the patch and discover the best men’s grooming of the moment, but it’s no less essential.

The adage is simple: If you’re putting care and attention into how your go-to denim shirt fits, the cut of your favorite waxed trucker jacket or the patina on a must-buy pair of leather boots, shouldn’t you place similar emphasis on how you’re getting ready for every day (date night very much included)?

The answer is a resounding yes, and that’s where Harry’s enters your medicine cabinet (if you don’t yet have some Harry’s men’s grooming essentials on hand already, that is).

Learn more now at Harry’s

A mainstay in the men’s grooming space for well over a decade now, Harry’s has been positively everywhere these days, as the brand does much more than make some of the highest-quality and easy-to-buy men’s razors on the market. Its shipping and bundle or subscription services made it easier than ever for guys to get an exceptional shave at home for much, much less — I’ve certainly loved trying Harry’s razors over the years.

In fact, it’s easier than ever to sign up for the service and not worry about where your next razor refill or your next shave is coming from — the finishing touch is smooth, the experience is simply excellent and hey, Harry’s men’s grooming products make great gifts, at least in my experience.

And Harry’s has expanded well beyond shaving into everything from beard care, face wash and moisturizer, a full set of hair wash and styling products, and yes, today’s piece de resistance: Harry’s Cologne, specifically Harry’s Cowboy Classic Cologne, one of the best colognes you can get your hands on (or rather, add as a finishing touch to your routine) this spring.

Over the past few months, Harry’s Cowboy Classic Cologne has entered my fragrance rotation to great effect, with notes of pink pepper leading to cedarwood and amber. Plenty of five-star reviews point to its quality, and you should know that Harry’s offers two other scents — and you can score all three in sampler form, for good measure. A guy’s scent rotation needs as many options as his boot rotation, does it not?

The overall effect captures the Wild West and a classic yet rugged scent without going overboard — in matters of scent or price (seriously, you can score a bottle of Harry’s Cowboy Classic Cologne for a mere $35). The frosted glass bottle is an ultra-premium design touch, while the scent has proven long-lasting (again, in my experience) — a bit goes a long way, my friends.

Of what could be your new signature scent, Harry’s said “it’s the stillness of dusk settling over wide horizons” captured in cologne form. If you ask me, it sounds like your next #OOTD just met its match in terms of a fragrant, thought-provoking finishing touch this season.

See Now, Buy Now: This Timex Marlin Automatic Dress Watch Is an Understated, Stylish Men’s Timepiece from Huckberry

In the growing pantheon of reliable menswear essentials that deliver versatile good looks and classic style, it always pays to be able to know where to look, where to go, where to stop. And it’s never a bad thing when one of the best online retailers for guys happens to stock a thoughtfully curated assortment of the sort of closet staples and everyday carry accessories that one can make work in plenty of different style scenarios.

At least for this Brooklyn writer, Huckberry has long been a retailer that meets the moment with a positively stacked lineup of distinct small-market brands, its own in-house goods and gear, and a healthy respect for some of the best brands for guys on the market, period.

Shop the best seasonal gear ASAP at Huckberry

As I tend to say, that’s certainly lofty praise, but it’s with intention and style in mind that Huckberry also sells one of the more affordable, stylish and reliable American watch brands in Timex.

And it’s with that focus in mind that we embark on the search for one of the perfect everyday watches for men, an even better deal if you find yourself searching for a business casual watch you can wear anywhere from the office to a date night to a seasonal wedding.

The watch in question is the fan-favorite Timex Marlin Automatic Watch, this time in a dressy and crisp 40mm build with an eye-catching dial practically made to pair with an Oxford shirt, a navy blazer and stretch chinos — or else with a rugged chambray shirt and classic blue jeans.

The utterly classic style combinations are in no short supply with one of the most affordable dress watches out there, complete with a Timex guarantee of quality that harkens back to its “takes a lickin’, keeps on tickin'” days.

Now, there’s nothing overly flashy or fancy about this version of the Timex Marlin Automatic Watch, a line the American watchmaker has been building for years, both in its own right and via the likes of collaborations with iconic American designer Todd Snyder.

This version of the Timex Marlin Automatic Watch is perfectly suited to team with Huckberry’s recent Smart Casual collection — an assortment of tailored trousers, natural-shoulder blazers, expertly cut Oxford shirts and luxe loafers for wedding season and beyond.

Shop Huckberry’s lineup of EDC must-haves and more

And speaking of this version: Cut-out numeral windows at 12, 3, 6 and 9-o’clock offer striking distinction and perhaps a touch of late Mid-Century Modern style, while its stainless steel case resists scratches and corrosion. The 1969 Timex Viscount Collection in fact serves as hearty inspiration for this highly dependable and price-minded dress watch, available on both a tan strap or a black strap in contrast to its crisp silver-tone dial.

For some serious bang for your buck and for style that won’t quit, opt for a fresh everyday dress watch by way of the Timex Marlin Automatic Watch.

The Tuesday Steal: Pick Up This Dependable Field Coat On Sale Now at the Bespoke Post Warehouse Sale

There’s a certain sweet spot that the best menswear deals on the market tend to hit: They can either give you a shot at grabbing a true style essential, something you’ve been wanting or needing for some time, or they can offer up the chance to take a bit of a swing on an eye-catching silhouette you might not normally wear.

That includes a longer-cut, almost parka-esque take on the field jacket as shown above, one featuring a lengthier 38″ cut, a beefy three-piece hood and dependable mil-spec cotton herringbone, and it’s thanks to Bespoke Post that these savings are yours for the taking.

Yes indeed, Bespoke Post opens up its warehouse and serves up some exclusive deals on a variety of can’t-miss gear and menswear… including a fresh take on the field jacket that happens to fall in the second category we discussed above. It’s eye-catching, it’s a departure from the norm and it blends a field coat with a soft-touch onion fill lining for an added dash of rugged appeal and warmth. And yes, the Fieldworth Herringbone Field Coat is worth a closer look, as plenty of sizes are available and it’s ready-made to step into spring weather.

Shop stylish gear and menswear right now at Bespoke Post

As for Bespoke Post, the brand best known for sending out one of the best monthly subscription boxes, well, take heed. The New York City-based company looked to the rugged climes of upstate New York and the rustic countryside in launching a line of rugged and hard-working, distinctive menswear some years back, including additions to the relatively recent Fieldworth line.

Utility and a strong military influence guides Fieldworth at Bespoke Post, but there’s also more than a touch of a Japanese take on Americana, and the Fieldworth Herringbone Field Coat also checks those boxes handsomely. Add in the fact that this stylish field coat is now 20 percent off, and the time might just be ripe to give your spring outerwear rotation a shot in the arm.

With oversized flap patch pockets, a fit that’s roomy enough to layer and leather hood adjusters to help keep out spring’s worst weather, this fashionable yet functional take on the field jacket punches well above its weight in terms of price. Cheers to that, my friends.
