You can even team this jacket with slim black jeans and some Tecovas Western boots for style that’s on-trend and yet classic, the kind of look that works at the bar, the brewery or around town. It’s simple, to me: The Tecovas Denim Trucker Jacket is your next great outerwear purchase. Stock up now, my friends.

The key to keep in mind with this assortment of pre-owned menswear?

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket – The Best Shirt Jacket for Winter to Shop Now

Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket in Grey Donegal

If you’ve been searching for one of the best winter layers and you haven’t yet found one, now is the right time to stock up on, well, one of the best shirt jackets for men. It’s mid-December, after all, and it’s time to amp up that outerwear rotation in a big way. That doesn’t mean reverting to a bulky parka just yet, though. And that’s why we’re here, of course, telling you all about the best men’s shirt jacket. It’s within your reach, and the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket is the proper pick for today, this weekend and the rest of winter.

Shop Todd Snyder menswear now

It’s the sort of rugged wardrobe upgrade that the Iowa-born designer specializes in, be it finding a way to make the humble chambray shirt into the best men’s chambray shirt, or turning the classic waxed trucker jacket into one of the best men’s jackets, period. It’s true, and if you’ve never shopped Todd Snyder, then right now is actually an ideal time to start. But back to what makes the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket so exceptional. It all starts with, naturally, the fabric, which is a donegal wool blend available in a plethora of rich colors (more on that in a second).

Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket in Wool Tartan

In short, the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket is the perfect blend of premium style and materials, plus the rugged functionality you need in a winter layer. It’s lined with Italian nylon and features a poly filling, all the better for added warmth on the go. But it’s the exterior wool-blend fabric that really sets the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket from the pack, making this shirt jacket more similar to a traditional winter blazer than an overly technical shirt jacket. It’s the Grey Donegal wool option that should prove most versatile when you want to score a shirt jacket (or “shacket”) you can dress up with tailored charcoal wool trousers, perhaps atop a Todd Snyder turtleneck for an eye-catching blend of high-low style. Yes indeed, this quilted shirt jacket is both technically savvy and stylish in equal measure. It could just be your new favorite winter layer, whether worn with a thermal shirt, a rugged henley or an Oxford shirt.

Stock up on a new shirt jacket

Beyond just the dependable style of the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket‘s Grey Donegal option, it’s also available in the eye-catching Tartan Plaid as shown above. But if you want the most bang for your buck (this shacket retails for $598 at Todd Snyder), then Grey Donegal is your best bet. Either way, the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket is one of the coolest, most reliable and rugged layers on the market. Happy shopping, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Olivers Apparel Mystery Box, BACARDI Rum & A Taylor Stitch Sale

I can’t believe this milestone is already here, and my own 30th birthday follows next month. Expect great beer and plenty of bundled-up ensembles if you follow me on Instagram, and if not, well, what are you waiting for?

The Thursday Buy: The Relwen Quilted Tanker is the Coolest Winter Jacket to Buy Right Now

Building the right winter wardrobe is as much about the details as it is about the big-ticket items, like securing one of the best winter jackets for men. You’ve hopefully already got some of the best men’s winter boots on your list, for example, but there’s more to it than that when it comes down to getting dressed for winter. Time is of the essence these days, as winter rolls into town in earnest — why not score a rugged, perfectly functional jacket from Relwen to make fighting winter weather that much more smooth and stylish? It’s not all about looks when it comes to Relwen though, and the military-inspired brand (sold by your friends at Huckberry, one of the best online shops for men) goes above and beyond here with the Relwen Quilted Tanker. If you’ve not yet shopped the Columbus-based brand, now’s your chance.

Shop Relwen menswear right now

If you want a jacket that’s dependable, rugged and yet fashion-forward in its own way (note the camo pattern below), then the Relwen Quilted Tanker is your best bet at the moment. It’s modeled off a cold-weather tanker jacket (note the military tie-in), but it’s been updated for 2021 and beefed up in the all the right places. The woven nylon-cotton shell won’t slow you down, as it’s not overly bulky, and it’s also been treated with a peached, brushed finish for added softness. The Relwen Quilted Tanker checks all the proper boxes in the comfort department, and then some. That’s not all, folks.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker is packed with bells and whistles you need when gearing up for frigid conditions, right down to the recycled poly fill and a box quilting for maximum insulation when and where you need it most. From there, it’s all about the helpful design touches that you can only find at many partner brands as sold at Huckberry. Take the right zipper chest pocket to store your everyday carry essentials, for instance, plus quilted hip utility pockets for even more storage potential. The Relwen Quilted Tanker is overly built, dependable as can be and meant to take on adventures on and off the trail (or around town).

Shop the best quilted jackets at Huckberry

Better still, the Relwen Quilted Tanker should fit somewhat slim while still offering potential for layering, especially, with, say, a durable Relwen sweater. How’s that for a brand you can trust? To really finish things off the right way, once you’ve layered this jacket atop other cozy winter staples, then you can either zip up the Relwen Quilted Tanker, use the snap-front closure or do both to keep out chilly seasonal weather. Last but certainly not least, the Relwen Quilted Tanker is available in a wear-with-anything (seriously, anything) Dark Forest or Black Camo color, and the stand-up, dual-snap collar adds yet another layer of functionality. The Relwen Quilted Tanker can go anywhere you want it to go this season.

See Now, Buy Now: These Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants Are Your New Winter Trousers

If you haven’t yet found one of the best pairs of men’s pants for winter, now’s the perfect time to stock up accordingly, and you’ll be relieved to know you can find your new favorite pants at your favorite retailer (or one of your favorite retailers, that is). I’m talking about Huckberry, the San Francisco (and Austin!)-based merchant that’s built quite the foundation for itself over the years as far as men’s style classics are concerned. Heck, just check out the rundown of Huckberry Bestsellers up for grabs, including the winter-friendly Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants.

Shop corduroy pants and more at Huckberry

They’re just like the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants you love and wear the rest of the year, yet this time, they’re done up in a seasonally ready fabric and packed with plenty of style points. You already know Huckberry as the makers of some of the best boots for men, not to mention one of the top men’s jackets you can layer up with this season. So, why not expand your Huckberry-centric wardrobe even further with the ever-reliable Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants? There’s lots to love about these tailored pants, starting with three excellent fits (Slim, Straight and Tapered), plus a wealth of colors from which to choose. Keep on scrolling for more, though.

So, color and fit are on-point, naturally, with the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants — as to be expected, of course. What about fabrication? Of course, the good folks at Huckberry deliver there, too. 98 percent cotton corduroy and 2 percent stretch comes together in a pair of the best men’s pants for cold-weather dressing, from the office to holiday parties and winter weekends on the road. Antique nickel hardware is a nice design touch, but where these pants really shine is that crucial blend of both style and sustainability. 98 percent of the water used to make the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants is repurposed and reused, a notable benchmark given that it can be tough to make pants sustainably these days. Fear not though, because your friends at Huckberry are on it.

Find your fit now at Huckberry

No matter which fit or color you select of the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants, you’re going to get standout seasonal style in spades. They’re every bit as versatile as the classic 365 Pants, so feel free to pair them up with more rugged picks from the rotation of Huckberry Bestsellers, like the much-loved Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket and a pair of finely crafted leather boots (I’d suggest layering up with one of the best thermal shirts for men to round things out). And if you want to go dressy, perhaps with a retro-inspired cardigan and an Oxford shirt, the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants offer up crisp, yet comfortable, style in spades. Again, no matter the fit, style or color you select, the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants have the potential to be an unstoppable pair of pants this winter. See for yourself and reap the stylish rewards. Cheers, my friends!
