Best pocket T-shirt for men

When is an item so seemingly simple on the surface actually so essential to your spring and summer wardrobe? When it’s one of the best T-shirts for men, that’s when. It’s a go-to in times casual and in times more rugged, be it on day hikes or brewery visits or days in the sun, and you needn’t cut corners when finding one of the best men’s T-shirts to add to your rotation. Who’s with me on that? In that case, allow me to introduce you to one of the coolest tees you can snag right now, a premium option from Huckberry: The Relwen Pique Pocket Tee has precisely the makings of your next casual wardrobe upgrade.

As you might expect with all gear sold by Huckberry — the rugged-meets-refined-meets-versatile gear purveyors based out of San Francisco — it’s a keeper in every sense of the word. The specs on the Relwen Pique Pocket Tee make it so much more than just your average T-shirt, similar to how your new favorite summer sneakers (as sold by Huckberry) are also more than your average set of kicks. Now, you might know Relwen for making one of the best winter jackets — and other hard-wearing winter gear — but the Relwen Pique Pocket Tee lightens things up in a suitably stylish way.

Best pocket T-shirt for men

Although it looks like a standard tee, the Relwen Pique Pocket Tee is anything but that. Witness the use of mid-weight cotton pique fabric that feels good and looks even better (it’ll hold its shape over time). The split-tail bottom hem is also a nice touch that differentiates this tee from others on the market, while the tonal stitching on the ringer collar is a suitably old-school touch you can only expect from Relwen.

The Relwen Pique Pocket Tee also comes in ever-versatile colors, like Dark Navy or a fun and summer-ready Pale Blue. Note the small logo on the pocket, a nice touch that’s not too gaudy — make no mistake, the Relwen Pique Pocket Tee looks great on its own, layered underneath a denim jacket or worn in breezy fashion underneath, say, a rugged short-sleeve shirt from Filson. Invest in this sub-$80 tee, and wear it plenty of days this summer.

The Friday Read: It’s Always Sunny In Philadephia

My friends, welcome to another edition of The Friday Read as yet another sunny spring weekend rolls on. I’m keeping today’s post light and fun, and Philadelphia-centric — in keeping up with my onslaught of travel over the past month (which you very well might have seen on my Instagram), I’m on the road once more. This time, as you might have guessed, I’m in the City of Brotherly Love to celebrate my great friend Drew’s upcoming nuptials, bachelor-party style. I’m sure we’ll have a cold Philly beer or two, with much to reflect on and appreciate.

If you’d like to stay busy this weekend — but in a leisurely way — head over to check out my latest writing work over at Maxim, where I’ve lately covered everything from Bluetooth speakers to the coolest sunglasses for summer. I’ve also stayed plenty busy otherwise — I wrote about the best left-handed watches — yes, a watch designed for lefties! — over at SPY, which could be just the upgrade your watch collection needs. Hopefully, you’ll find the style upgrade you need.

For now, I’ve got a train to catch and some much-needed time with lifelong friends on the horizon. Cheers, and Godspeed!

Best chukka boots for men.

Stepping into mid-May wearing a pair of the best men’s chukka boots might seem a bit unusual at first, but think again, and it all starts to make sense. That’s particularly the case when the boots in question are the newly launched Todd Snyder Nomad Boots, a standout new addition to the all-American menswear designer’s full rotation of the best men’s style essentials for any time of year.

Perhaps you’ve already shopped one of the most affordable graphic tees or picked up your new favorite summer shirt, but you’re going to need some footwear to round out this style moves, right? Hence, the Todd Snyder take on the classic chukka boot, a style with history that every guy can lace up in modern times. The chukka boot was prized for its soft rubber sole and supple, easy-to-wear upper, and here, the details get even better when you look closely at a new essential pair of Todd Snyder Nomad Boots. Start with the Italian suede, and then look at the durable rubber sole and made-in-Italy construction.

The Todd Snyder Nomad Boots could quickly become your new go-to pair of boots, especially when paired with anything from the best lightweight jeans for spring to a pair of breezy chinos. The low profile on the Todd Snyder Nomad Boots works especially well in business casual situations, the kind where you can wear an Oxford shirt and a lightweight summer blazer with an aforementioned pair of chinos, for instance.

And another thing about the Todd Snyder Nomad Boots: Any which way you slice it, any color you select — be it Tobacco, Olive, Tan or Grey — is going to pair up with plenty of other neutral style staples in a laidback summer wardrobe. That’s an unexpected menswear move worth making right now.

The Sunday Sale: Filson’s Ranger Tee Is a Steal for Under $40

When the time comes to hit the road, hike a trail or head to the beach this summer, you should already have a solid idea of what you’re wearing: Make it some of the most rugged menswear on the market from the heritage outfitters at Filson. Better still, make it gear you can truly keep wearing — and wearing, and wearing — for a downright steal, which is why we’re here in today’s Sunday Sale. Specifically, let’s talk about a basic you won’t be able to go anywhere without as the mercury rises.

To wit: There are going to be certain style essentials you pick up time and time again this season, like one of the best men’s T-shirts, and it’s all the better if you can combine affordability and a rugged appeal. Meet the Filson Ranger Tee, one of the most well-made, best T-shirts for men — done in only a way Filson can, no less.

Best graphic T-shirt for men.

The Filson Ranger Tee is seemingly simple on the surface, but delivers some serious bang for your buck for under $40 — not unlike the quality-meets-value equation you find when you pick up one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts for summer from the very same brand. The real key here is the use of 3.5 oz. jersey cotton for durability and a substantial-yet-breathable feel. That makes it a tee you can wear with stretch active shorts on a day hike or park stroll, or with breezy chino shorts and white canvas sneakers for weekend beers.

Best of all? That sub-$40 price tag, which turns it into a downright steal. Make sure the Filson Ranger Tee ends up in your wardrobe ASAP — what’s Sunday shopping for, after all? Here’s to summer, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Dry Falls Shorts – The Best Active Shorts To Wear This Summer

Best active shorts for men.

For as much as certain brands are known for doing one thing well (extremely well, at that), it’s refreshing to see a heritage brand like the good folks at Filson step outside of its comfort zone to produce lightweight, summer-friendly gear. Specifically, it’s cooler now than ever before to see a Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter like Filson step right up and deliver some of the best men’s shorts for summer.

You already know all about the fact that a brand like Filson makes one of the best men’s chambray shirts, not to mention equally rugged gear like the toughest winter workshirt, but thanks to the launch of the Filson Dry Falls Shorts, you can get some of the best shorts for men from your favorite rugged outfitter.

Lest this seem too good to be true, consider the rugged appeal of picking up some shorts from Filson: Especially for outdoor adventures, the brand is famed for using tough-yet-pliable fabrics, the kind that get better with age — they’ve certainly done the same thing with the Filson Dry Fall Shorts (more on that in just a second).

Most versatile shorts for men this summer.

The key with the Filson Dry Fall Shorts starts, of course, with that famed Filson fabric and attention to detail. In this case, it’s a durable and tightly woven cotton with a hint of stretch for ease of movement. The 7-inch inseam on the Filson Dry Fall Shorts should hit above the knee for most guys, another crucial design detail if it’s easygoing movement from the trail to the watering hole that you seek.

They’re also incredibly lightweight, and Filson bills the drawcord waistband on the Filson Dry Fall Shorts as another helpful touch that helps you eliminate a belt that might slow you down (they’re absolutely correct, too!).

The Filson Dry Fall Shorts feature reinforced pockets and front stitching, another crucial touch in terms of durability, while the rear pockets are even made with Velcro flaps to ensure your everyday carry stays in place on the go. They also work for more casual pursuits — backyard beers and brewery visits come to mind — while the range of colors offers up something for every palette (my personal favorite? The eye-catching Dark Moss). Make the Filson Dry Fall Shorts your new favorite everyday summer shorts: You won’t regret it.
