The Sunday Sale: Get 40 Percent Off This American-Made Jacket from American Trench

American Trench Slim-Fit Down Hooded Jacket

This rugged, tough and durable down jacket is available for quite the steal right now.

Now that we’ve hit December, one thing should be top priority as far as your menswear wardrobe is concerned: That’s getting one of the best men’s jackets for winter on your back and in your closet, and that leads us to today’s edition of The Sunday Sale. To get even more specific, the American Trench Slim-Fit Down Hooded Jacket is as fine a pick-up as you’re apt to find in the American Trench Clearance Section (and elsewhere, for that matter) and you can snag it for 40 percent off today. It’s got all the proper specs you could ever ask for in a durable winter jacket, starting with some serious style points via the classic navy colorway. But the hits just keep coming with the American Trench Slim-Fit Down Hooded Jacket, from the weatherproof Japanese nylon fabric (crinkled for added texture) to the 750-fill power down insulation (that’s the good stuff as far as keeping you warm). It was originally part of the brand’s Fall 2019 line, hence the deep discount, but plenty of sizes are still in stock.

SHOP: The American Trench Slim-Fit Down Hooded Jacket

American Trench always does a standout job at getting the details right, as you can see here.

This slim-fit down jacket is the ideal blend of modern style and functionality, featuring tough ripstop nylon in the interior to really drive home that weather-ready sense of performance. And as the name would imply, the fit is trim and yet should still leave you room to layer, let’s, a henley and a classic crewneck sweatshirt for chilly, blustery days. It should go without saying that the hood of this American Trench jacket will also come in mighty handy on particularly snowy days. The moral of the story is this: If you know where to look, you’ll be able to find downright great deals on winter gear, starting with the American Trench Slim-Fit Down Hooded Jacket.

Style Pick of the Week: Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater

A classic and cool sweater made from top-notch materials.

On the hunt for one of the best sweaters for men this holiday season (and beyond)? If you ask me, I think your search just got a little less comlicated, because the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is here to solve your winter layering problems in effective, refined and surprisingly affordable style. We’re talking about one of the best sweaters under $100 for men here (it clocks in at $98), and it’s super helpful that said sweater is sold by Huckberry. That gives it a mark of quality and a high bar to clear, but again, the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is one-of-a-kind in its own right, from the premium fabric to the no-fuss crewneck design. The crewneck design, in fact, means you can wear this refined sweater on its own atop a long-sleeve T-shirt for a more laidback look, and yet it might be at its best with a classic Oxford shirt or a warm flannel shirt for added warmth and holiday-ready style. Yes indeed, a piece like the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is subtly stylish and yet seriously cool in its own way, and that makes it a highly covetable winter wardrobe addition.

SHOP: The Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater

One of three versatile colorways in which you can snag your new favorite sweater.

As mentioned above, it helps that this versatile sweater comes in three highly adaptable colors, each of which could be the building block of a successful holiday ensemble. Team the Charcoal color with everything from tan chinos and an Oxford shirt to dark blue denim, brown leather chukka boots and a light blue chambray shirt underneath. Either of those looks should work swimmingly this holiday season. It’s also quite helpful that the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is made with, well, merino fabric for the ultimate in versatility. Merino regulates your temperature and acts as an anti-microbial fabric, all the better to ensure you get multiple rounds of wear out of this standout sweater. Again, you can’t top the sub-$100 price tag, either. And if I were you, I just might look to snag multiple colorways of what just might be your new favorite sweater. Who’s onboard with that? If you end up picking up this piece, let me know on Twitter.

The Friday Read: Breitling’s New Watch, The Bespoke Post Holiday Shop & The Best Luxury Gifts

Stock up right this instant with some of the best holiday gifts for men right now at Bespoke Post.

My friends, have you recovered from last week’s Thanksgiving shenanigans yet? Whether yours was largely virtual via Zoom or you held a small family gathering, I hope you took advantage of some downtime, some delicious food (and beer!) and of course, some of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. A few of those deals are still running, in fact, but there’s one place in particular I’m going to call out as part of the start of today’s Friday Read, and that’s the Bespoke Post Holiday Shop. As you can see above, the NYC-based retailer’s shop is packed with some of the best gifts for men, from shirting to EDC essentials, bar cart picks and much, much, much more. Of course, I’ll share some of my own picks below when it comes to holiday shopping for the guys on your list.

With that being said, I’m looking forward to being back in Brooklyn after a safe holiday trip to Florida (a celebration of four!). On the agenda: Some digital holiday shopping, some craft beer imbibing, some blogging and of course, some work on my Instagram. If you’ve got some downtime on your hands, I recommend you hit subscribe on my newsletter, The Style Guide In Brief. It’s a twice-weekly supplement to this blog, diving deeper into three of my passions: Music, menswear and craft beer (or whiskey, or coffee), all centered around a featured song of the week and themed picks (think a song by The Killers, and some Brandon Flowers-inspired menswear). You’ll get it every Tuesday and Saturday if you so choose, and right in your inbox! OK, that’s all on the newsletter front for now. Here are the rest of my shopping and reading picks for your weekend. Cheers!

Just one excellent offering from the Jack Black Holiday Grooming Shop, folks.

If I had to make one recommendation for both yourself and the well-groomed guys in your life, it would be to shop Jack Black Grooming and the brand’s holiday gift sets ASAP. The Jack Black Holiday Grooming Shop is packed with stocking stuffers, full-scale grooming sets and so much more. The offering includes the ever-popular Jack’s Most Wanted Set, featuring — among other picks — cleanser, a moisturizer and body lotion (from the brand’s Black Reserve Suite). It’s a great way to get the guy in your life some of the best grooming essentials out there, and it comes complete with a functional and travel-ready dopp kit. Cross another gift off the list, my friends.
We’ve just talked about accessible grooming gifts, but let’s take things up a notch right now. I had the chance to check out some seriously covetable and drool-worthy gifts for GearMoose, resulting in 10 fine-as-can-be picks covering the best luxury gifts for the person who has everything. There are truly some stunners on that list, from a Tom Ford leather jacket to an incredible Rolex watch. How can it get any better than that?
As promised in the headline, it’s high time you *dove* into one of the most premium watches on the market. Consider it an extreme investment for yourself or for the lover of extremely cool and investment-level watches in your life. We’re talking, in this case, about the Breitling x Outerknown Superocean Heritage ’57 Watch, as covered by yours truly for Maxim. It’s a stunner of a timepiece, with two options that retail for more than $4,000. Shop accordingly.

Thanksgiving might be in the rearview mirror, but we’re in the thick of the holiday season, and even in these trying times, that still presents quite a few opportunities for looking your best (casually and safely, of course). That’s where my #OOTD on how to dress for a casual holiday is going to come in mighty handy. How about that, ehh? Enjoy the weekend, enjoy your Friday and be sure to step out in style when the time comes.

Plus, the jacket itself is also insulated with a breathable poly fill for even more seasonally ready functionality.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket is the Perfect Winter Layer

A rugged shirt jacket that’s going to become your new go-to layer.

If I know one thing, it’s that you need to gear up for winter accordingly, seeing as it’s December and all, and you need to do so with one brand: The unstoppable San Francisco-based gear purveyors at Taylor Stitch. You know the brand for its high-quality leather jackets, chinos and now, you know it for the Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket, one of the best shirts for winter. It’s a fan favorite, it’s one of my favorite shirts from Taylor Stitch, and it’s now back and better than ever in an eye-catching colorway that’s absolutely perfect for the holiday season ahead. Perhaps it’s the Clifford Red color or perhaps it’s the fact that the Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket is part shirt, part jacket and seriously stylish either way … but you really can’t go wrong with this rugged and burly “shacket,” as it were. Of course, it’s also available in a Deep Navy color (as shown below), but the Clifford Red is my personal favorite.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket

Another must-have colorway when it comes to this essential shirt jacket — right?

The use of wool and reclaimed fibers in building this tough shirt jacket makes it stylish, warm and sustainable, all at once. Plus, the brand’s California collar (a TS signature) makes it more like a classic flannel shirt than a hard-wearing work shirt. However, oversized flap chest pockets mean you really can wear this shirt jacket to tackle tough projects and haul your everyday carry essentials around without missing a beat. It’s trim, and yet cut so that you can layer everything from a Taylor Stitch henley to a Taylor Stitch Oxford shirt underneath it, in case you feel like swapping out your traditional blazer or cardigan (which you should certainly try for the holiday season!). And of course, because it’s a hybrid piece and shouldn’t be too incredibly heavy, the brand says you can even wear it on into the spring months. But for now, as the cold confines of winter approach, the Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket is going to be your new go-to layer.

It all starts off with that ever-crucial rugged Filson parka to help you combat winter breezes and snowy weather, while pieces like an equally rugged henley team up ever-so-stylishly witth a classic shawl collar cardigan for the ultimate in winter warmth and classic looks.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Waffle Henley

A rugged Taylor Stitch henley you’ll have for years and years.

Leave it to Taylor Stitch, makers of everything from one of the best leather jackets to some of the best everyday menswear essentials, to take the humble henley and amp up in a big way, just in time for a holiday weekend and of course, the depths of winter. If you’re more excited than ever for today’s Style Pick of the Week, you’re not alone, because we’re diving into what exactly makes the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Waffle Henley one of the best henleys for men this season (and beyond). In typical Taylor Stitch fashion, the brand has taken a classic silhouette, the sporting heritage henley, and flipped it on its head in a way only they can (a great way, for the record).

Yes indeed, the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Waffle Henley is a classic henley in silhouette, but it stands apart from the pack for several reasons, chief among them being the fact that it uses the brand’s famed Heavy Bag fabric. In this case, the fabric is a blend of upcycled cotton and recycled polyester for maximum sustainability and style, and the thermal knit is burly and based off old-school “seed stitch” thermals. That makes it as tough as something your grandpa might have worn, and it’s a fitting update to a style you can wear for years.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Waffle Henley

The difference is in the details with this rugged henley.

The Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Waffle Henley is also a highly affordable henley, clocking in at under $80, a competitive price in the market. And you’ve got to love the versatile, neutral Ash color, suitable for teaming with everything from inky blue Taylor Stitch selvedge denim to Taylor Stitch chinos without missing a beat. It helps that the henley itself is a rugged staple that looks great just about anywhere you take it, be it worn underneath a flannel workshirt on a chilly winter morning out on the trail, or back in town & teamed with a classic chambray shirt and faded blue denim for casual, brewery-ready style. It also helps that it’s made with the kind of quality only Taylor Stitch can provide. That means it’s crafted with a tailored fit in small batches, all the better to be treasured and worn often. In short, if you’ve been looking for your new favorite henley, well, you’ve certainly found it with the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Waffle Henley.
