Style Pick of the Week: Quoddy Bowhunter Boots

Durable, heritage-quality boots that hone the spirit of the outdoors & the spirit of fall.

As we always talk about here at The Style Guide, there are certain fall style essentials you gotta have, and there are certain fall style essentials that are well worth the investment, ones that have that “Wow” factor. The Quoddy Bowhunter Boots absolutely fit into that category, to say the very least.  And for our Style Pick of the Week series, they’ll fit the bill just fine — particularly now that we’re cruising through October. If you’ve been slacking when it comes to picking up a pair of the best men’s boots, now is the time to snap ’em up. After all, everything from apple orchard exploration to craft beer festivals to football tailgates still awaits, and the exceptional Quoddy Bowhunter Boots are the one pair of boots to wear to all of those pursuits  (and to the office, if you can get away with it). Rugged leather boots are an essential for taking on fall and winter weather, and if you’re going to splurge, you might as well splurge on a pair that’s going to give you plenty in matters of both style and functionality — the Quoddy Bowhunter Boots shape up quite nicely.

Handmade in Maine with a seriously cool and rugged Grizzly Peanut leather, the Quoddy Bowhunter Boots are made with antique brass eyelets for durability — lace ’em up as often as you please. That handsome leather is going to break in very nicely, giving you a pair of stylish men’s boots that’ll team up easily alongside perfectly faded jeans and a classic henley. They’ve also got that throwback, heritage-inspired look that lends itself to actually being worn in  the field, be it on a weekend camping trip or a long weekend upstate. And you’re simply not going to find many other boots that feature a hand-stained leather midsole or a deerskin bellows tongue (designed to keep out water and debris). Yes indeed, the Quoddy Bowhunter Boots are the height of craftsmanship, quality and classic style. They’re going to work particularly well with chore pants and a waxed trucker jacket on a chilly fall or winter morning — no need to worry about durability or longevity when it comes to the Quoddy Bowhunter Boots, my friends. And if you fancy taking them for a spin at your office? They’ll wear handsomely with olive chinos and a classic garment-dyed Oxford.  A pair of stylish men’s boots that can do it all sounds like a must-have to me this season.

The Friday Read: Austin City Limits, the Best Men’s Work Boots and the Velvet Underground

Today marks the start of another very special weekend, particularly as we take The Style Guide on the road — namely, I’ll be at the incredible Austin City Limits Festival today through Sunday! Granted, things kicked off with the first weekend of this two-weekend festival, but we’ll be seeing it all for the first time. I’ve made a habit of hitting up some incredible music festivals this year, from the excellent Mo Pop Festival (featuring Bon Iver) to the small-time feel of Audiotree Music Festival and of course, The National’s Homecoming Festival.  On tap this weekend? Well, first things first: Sir Paul McCartney. And immediately prior to his Friday headlining set? Well, of course, The National. Elsewhere on the bill, we’re looking forward to sets from the likes of Arkells, CHVRCHES, up-and-coming California rockers Wallows & dance pop favorites Sylvan Esso — that’s just a small, small start! We also hope to check out some other sights in Austin, including Austin Eastciders and STAG Provisions, one of my absolute favorites when it comes to menswear across the board. Do you have any must-see spots in Austin that you’d recommend? Let me know on Twitter! Thanks for reading, my friends. 

  • If you happen to be a fan of the Velvet Underground, chances are, you’ll like the news that several music luminaries (including personal favorites like The National and Mr. Julian Casablancas) have curated their own playlists celebrating the legendary group, all as part of a special New York exhibition running through December. Check it out for yourself if you happen to be in the city this fall and winter!
  • On the menswear front more specifically, I can’t stop circling back around to the Danner Mountain 600 Boots, as an essential and comfortable pair of fall boots. Without a doubt. Agreed?
  • Speaking of fall boots: I’m re-upping this post right here and right now as we get into the spirit of fall — check out my picks for the best men’s work boots over at GearMoose.

That’s going to close out this edition of the Friday Read — in the words of the immortal movie “School of Rock” … “Let’s rock today.” That’ll be all!

See Now, Buy Now: The Flint and Tinder 10-Year Crew Is Your New Favorite Sweatshirt

The underrated layering essential you need in your fall wardrobe.

On casual fall weekends (like this coming one!), you’re going to need a stylish crewneck sweatshirt — enter the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Crew, my friends. A casual-yet-durable crewneck sweatshirt is going to put in a lot of work when it comes to versatile fall and winter layering, and make no mistake, the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Crew — part of the brand’s 10-Year Collection — has all the right specs. Flint and Tinder, an offshoot of our friends at Huckberry, knows how to get the job done in terms of made-in-America quality and style, that much is true. And the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Crew lives up to that billing, to say the least. It’s made from cozy and hard-wearing 23oz. fleece, perfect for throwing on atop a classic white tee to grab a weekend coffee — preferably paired up with some Flint and Tinder jeans, yes?

The classic navy color is timeless and to be applauded — it’s the kind of staple piece that pairs easily with everything from slim tan chinos and white high-top sneakers to a blue Oxford and grey selvedge denim. Can you tell I’m a fan of the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Crew? It’s also cut, sewn and finished in Los Angeles, a characteristic you don’t find too often these days. In short, the only thing you need to worry about when it comes to the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Crew is how to wear it. Try it with a white Oxford and slim khaki trousers, plus some classic suede chukka boots, at the office on a laidback fall day. Then, keep it handy to throw on with the aforementioned  Flint and Tinder jeans for a weekend coffee run. Are we on the same page? Yes? Done and done.

#OOTD: How to Wear a Denim Shirt for Fall and Winter

Alright, I’ll come right out and say it — you need a stylish denim shirt in your fall and winter wardrobe, and you need one now. The denim shirt seen here is the type of smart, casual, versatile shirting option that every guy (including you!) can use, in any season — but especially when it gets cold. And what’s more, the rugged denim shirt featured in this #OOTD from Billy Reid is the sort of shirt that can be worn plenty of ways this fall and winter (not to mention spring and summer). Mind you, it’s not just any casual shirt we’re talking today — it’s none other than the Billy Reid Denim Shirt, a seriously cool, made-in-America style staple. With unique texture and a bright blue color, this particular denim shirt is one that teams readily with the picks you see below (including a rugged henley) just as easily as it teams with more dressed-up style staples, like a charcoal herringbone blazer. The denim shirt is, simply put, the right way to add edge to casual outfits, and the right way to inject a bit of cool into tailored looks.  As I’ve mentioned, the Billy Reid Denim Shirt just goes with … anything, including the adventure-ready, casual weekend (or weekday!) look seen below. Versatile pants? You bet. A classic fall jacket? Yes. And stylish weatherproof boots? This #OOTD really does have it all. How would you wear it? Let me know on Twitter. 

Your new favorite denim shirt, no questions asked. Right?

  • The Denim Shirt: Billy Reid Denim Shirt, $195  — Billy Reid continues to deliver with this richly crafted, made-in-the-States denim shirt. A fall and winter style staple.
  • The Essential Fall Jacket: Howler Brothers Merlin Jacket, $195 — With technical roots and style that fits in the country or the city, Howler Brothers has made a new classic jacket for fall.
  • The Henley: Knickerbocker Mfg. Co. Long-Sleeve Henley Tube Tee, $70 — We continue to recommend this rugged henley for its blend of comfort and style, plus that layering potential with a classic denim shirt.
  • The Pants: Proof Rover Pants, $98 — Made with proprietary, ultra-breathable and durable fabric, the tailored Proof Rover Pants are fit for the work week or the weekend.
  • The Boots: Taylor Stitch Trench Boots in Golden Weatherproof Suede, $348 — Refined, Goodyear welted Taylor Stitch boots that happen to be weather-ready? Absolutely.
  • The Socks: CHUP Niyol Socks, $19.98 — An engaging pair of stylish socks that aren’t over the top — that’s what you need on your feet this fall.
  • The Belt: Levi’s Cartago Multi-Hole Belt, $35 — A go-anywhere outfit like this calls for a stylish leather belt that can also, well, go anywhere.
  • The Watch: DuFrane Watches Barton Springs Diver, $590.98 — Made to take on everything from weekend hikes to a casual lunch, this functional-yet-stylish dive watch from DuFrane Watches should get plenty of fall wear. Don’t worry about matching your belt and your watch here — we’re taking casual to the max.

OK, that’s going to wrap up this #OOTD. What’s your take on it? Are you in favor of pairing a stylish denim shirt with more functionally minded pieces, like that jacket from Howler Brothers? To me, I think it just works. And from a weekend hike to a particularly laidback Friday in the office, a pair of the Proof Rover Pants are also going to get the job done — the same can be said of the incredible Taylor Stitch boots as seen above. Seriously, the beauty of building your outfit around one piece (in this case, the Billy Reid Denim Shirt) comes from the variety of options you get from just that one shirt alone. Handy, durable accessories are also going to prove useful no matter where you go, so I’d snap up the Levi’s Cartago Multi-Hole Belt and the exceptionally well-crafted, versatile Barton Springs Diver from DuFrane Watches while you still can. So, where can this ensemble take you? Just about anywhere from a football tailgate to a day hike to an afternoon of beers at your favorite brewery — and perhaps all three at once. How’s that for versatility.

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt

More than just your average sweatshirt, that’s for sure.

We’ve all likely got that favorite weekend sweatshirt, the one that you reach for on cloudy, dreary, casual days — well, let’s shake things up a bit, because the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt is A) Your new seasonal favorite and B) One heck of an addition to your ever-growing list of men’s style essentials.  Inshort, it’s got everything you need in a casual sweater, with an added punch in terms of style points, easy wearability and cool design details. Sounds pretty great, right? Billy Reid is one of those American menswear designers with a point of view that’s distinct and premium, yet uniquely accessible — case in point, the Dover Sweatshirt.  Made in Canada from a cotton-poly blend in a classic crewneck sweatshirt design, this stylish weekend sweatshirt is a winner on all fronts … heck, it’s stylish enough to be worn to the office with slim five-pocket pants, suede Chelsea boots and a classic Oxford shirt for a nice mix of high and low styles. My personal favorite has to be the Natural color, but the Dover Sweatshirt is also available in a crisp Dark Midnight color. Really, it’s your call — you’re getting excellent versatility and style with the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt. The only question, really, is how to style it.

Neat leather patches set this thing apart from the pack.

Herringbone twill detailing and vintage-inspired leather elbow patches elevate the Dover Sweatshirt quite nicely. This is the type of sweatshirt that’s going to work with everything from perfectly faded jeans and suede chukka boots to slim corduroy pants and stylish brown leather brogues. When’s the last time you had a sweatshirt like that, ehh?  The results are absolutely what you’d expect from a lauded designer like Billy Reid, who prides himself on doing things in a way that’s different yet accessible. Take the small finishing touches, like piping details at the armhole — the  Dover Sweatshirt is made with craft and care top of mind. In short, you’re going to feel comfortable and look great, even if the only thing you can muster up is a visit to your local coffee shop. But preferably, you’re going to be dressed to take on the world  (even on a weekend!) with the Dover Sweatshirt — it’s that stylish and sharp. For your Style Guide author, it’s the perfect grab-and-go piece to layer over a classic white T-shirt.

The Friday Read: Jason Isbell, New Danner Boots and Relwen

Here we are, folks. It’s Friday, it’s October, and it’s time to cap off a heck of a week. I spent two incredible days last weekend at the iconic Forest Hills Stadium, celebrating the excellent inagural edition of There’s No Leaving New York. The lovely early fall weekend featured two extraordinary sets from my favorite band and my heroes, The National, plus stellar work from resurgent artists like Cat Power and Future Islands. Seriously, seeing Future Islands play poignant tracks like “Vireo’s Eye,” and then having that night capped off by my favorite band? It really doesn’t get any better, from classics and deep cuts like “About Today” and “Green Gloves,” along with a terrific Cat Power cover.

Saturday night’s performance also featured duets with rising indie rock luminary Phoebe Bridgers on “Sorrow and “I Need My Girl” — talk about a major treat, right?? It’s really been quite the year for The National playing their own festivals — it was a pleasure to be able to trek to Cincy in April for Homecoming, and I’m very hopeful the band brings back both festivals next year. You can follow along with all the fun on Twitter, or you can check out my work on Instagram. Now, let’s hop into a (relatively short) edition of The Friday Read.

A durable cross between hiking boots and Chelsea boots — read more below.

  • As a lover of both Twitter (yep) and live music, I found this Rolling Stone piece on folk rocker Jason Isbell to be mighty interesting — might you feel the same way? Time will tell.
  • So, it’s nearly the weekend after all, right? Finally. And I’ve got just the #OOTD for you. Featuring rugged Chelsea boots — that also happen to be hiking boots?  — along with a cozy, made-in-America sweatshirt and an essential long-sleeve tee, this ensemble can take on darn near anything.
  • Looking for a perfectly cozy fall layer? One that’s actually … stylish? That’s the Relwen Shag Fleece Pop-Zip, the subject of a recent entry of mine for GearMoose. I won’t spoil too much here!

OK, folks — that’s all we’ve got today. Let’s end the week on a high note and kick things off the right way!

See Now, Buy Now: The Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea Boots Are Your Next Fall Footwear Pick-up

Danner

Fit for going off trail … or just going down the road to your favorite coffee shop.

If you’re going to step into a new pair of the best men’s boots for fall, you might as well turn toward Danner, right? That’s my thought, at least. The lauded, Pacific Northwest-based bootmaker has taken its considerable expertise and turned it toward a pair of boots — the Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea — that perfectly merge outdoor functionality and casual style. And make no mistake, a good pair of boots should likely top your list of fall style essentials (it’s October, after all!) The design approach taken on the Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea is admirable and much-needed for the guy on the go, especially if you’re someone who’s on their feet a lot (y’know, the office, the coffee shop, the bar, a rock show … you get the picture). But here’s the great thing about these tough Danner boots — they’re quite stylish, as it were. That can be rare at times when shopping for comfortable shoes, but the fact that the Ortholite footbed and Vibram Fuga outsole on the Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea are topped off with rich full-grain leather is pretty darn cool.

SHOP: The Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea via Huckberry 

The Ariaprene collar makes these easy to slip and go.

That sort of all-day style is what makes the Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea particularly useful this fall. They’ve got the subtly stylish look of your favorite pair of Chelsea boots, combined with the rugged comfort to be worn to a bonfire or off trail on a (rather leisurely) day hike. These aren’t quite a pair of mountaineering boots, but dang it if they don’t feel comfortable enough to take on nearly anything. And another benefit of picking up the  Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea? The kind of style that goes with casual style scenarios aplenty. To keep it simple, I’d wear ’em with slim faded denim (try the Flint and Tinder Stonewash Jeans!), plus a grey crewneck sweater and a rugged field watch on a lazy fall weekend. Feeling a bit more polished? Try the Danner Mountain 600 Chelsea with a navy cotton blazer, a garment-dyed Oxford shirt and slim tan chinos — no one will even know these boots were made to go off-trail.

How do you feel about boots that blend the comfort of sneakers and the look of a Chelsea boot? Let me know via Twitter.

#OOTD: How to Dress for Your Next Fall Weekend

Look around you, my friends — it’s well and truly fall! How about that? That means, at least in my mind, that you’ve got plenty on your to-do list: Football tailgating, brewery hopping, coffee shop visits, pumpkin picking, maybe even a brisk outdoor night of grilling. At any rate, you’re going to need to wear something — might as well reach for casual, durable fall style essentials that pack a punch and work in plenty of different scenarios. Start with a performance-minded flannel shirt to take you from the pumpkin patch to the distillery, then toss in other fall must-haves like a rugged long-sleeve henley, slim faded jeans and classic chukka boots. It’s a recipe for success, in my mind.  You’re getting comfort and warmth thanks to the henley-flannel combo, you’re getting the ability to last for long hours on your feet thanks to the Astorflex chukka boots, and you’re even getting a dash of the adventure-ready spirit of fall with your new favorite dive watch. Throw in accessories like a durable belt and stylish socks, and you’re all set. Granted, you’re not likely to be taking this rig on any deep-sea adventures … but just know that all the variables have been considered. So, let’s get you into today’s #OOTD. Like what you see? Check in with me on Twitter to let me know.

Everything you need for your next fall weekend, correct?

  • The Stylish Henley: Knickerbocker Mfg. Co Long-Sleeve Henley, $64.98 — Don’t think twice when it comes to picking up this classic long-sleeve henley, ideal for adding some visual interest to a weekend look.
  • The Flannel Shirt: Mizzen + Main Benton Plaid Flannel Shirt, $145 — The rare flannel shirt that’s rugged, yet refined. Perfect for weekend layering.
  • The Jacket: Abercrombie & Fitch Deck Bomber Jacket, $140 — A cozy, tough-as-heck jacket that channels classic maritime style.
  • The Classic Jeans: Buck Mason Slim Denim in 12-Month Wash, $178 — Timeless jeans in a pleasing wash that’ll wear easy for a fall weekend.
  • The Durable Fall Boots: Astorflex Greenflex in Dark Khaki, $145 — The classic suede chukka boots you’ve been waiting for. Seriously comfortable and seriously stylish.
  • The Socks: Danner Work Midweight Merino Crew Socks, $18 — Might as well reach for stylish socks to add comfort and functionality to your ensemble, right?
  • The Adventure-Ready Watch: DuFrane Watches Barton Springs 656 Diver, $590.98 — This outfit calls for a classic watch that can take a bit of a beating — DuFrane Watches has you covered, no questions asked.
  • The Belt: Arcade Belt Co. Guide Slim Belt, $30 —  A functional, capable belt that’s much more durable than average.

OK, who’s ready for a fall weekend? What’s on your agenda? Whatever that might be, I know you can take it on in comfort and style with pieces like a stretch flannel shirt and dependable base layers like a Knickerbocker Mfg. Co long-sleeve henley. Throw on a tough, heritage-inspired Abercrombie & Fitch jacket to nicely complement what should be a comfortable pair of slim, perfectly faded Buck Mason denim — always necessary for any weekend, if you ask me. On the footwear front, durable fall boots from Astorflex are a winning weekend style move, offering comfort through the elements — the same can be said when it comes to your Danner merino crew socks, right? And if I were you, I wouldn’t doubt the toughness or versatility of the exceptional DuFrane Springs Barton Watch or the adventure-ready quality of the Arcade Belt Co. Guide Slim Belt. And, well … that’s really all there is to it. Again, feel  free to check in with me via The Style Guide Facebook page to let me know your thoughts on these men’s style essentials for the season. Cheers!

A beautiful pair of leather boots for fall — but one of today’s style essentials.

Here at The Style Guide, you can rest assured that we — and by “we,” I mean your humble staff of one — are always working to outfit you with men’s style essentials for the fall season. As we’ve been saying, it’s a time that requires durable, tough and versatile gear that can work for all the casual style scenarios the season offers, everything form apple picking to tailgating. In that regard, pieces like a stylish zip hooded sweatshirt or durable selvedge jeans have the potential to be daily favorites. As does a favorite record by a favorite band. So, here we go!

Vinyl Me, Please Records: “Boxer” by The National — $29

A classic album by a legendary band.

Is vinyl a fall style essential? When the days are cold, rainy and windy, you bet it is. That’s where the amazing “Boxer” —  by my favorite band (and my heroes) The National — comes in handy.
Todd Snyder x Red Wing 877 Moc Toe Boots — $380

Some of the best boots on tap this season, easily.

Handsome boots from a first-of-its-kind collaboration, available in two seriously cool colors. These are some of the best boots to buy for fall, easily.
Taylor Stitch Truckee Jacket in Moss — $158

The type of cozy, grab-and-go jacket you can wear with sweatpants, chinos or denim.

We’ve all seen decidedly unstylish, logo-heavy fleece jackets. The exceptional Taylor Stitch Truckee Jacket bucks all those trends and looks great doing it.
Bellroy Minimalist Set — $99

Just about all of the handy essentials you need on the daily.

It behooves you to keep your everyday carry essentials on lock — the Bellroy Minimalist Set can surely help you out there. Sleek, functional and stylish.

Stylish, sporty and casual sneakers for fall weekends.

Want a sneaker that acts as a hybrid between athletic and purely casual? YORK Athletics Mfg. has you sorted out.

Rich in color, well-crafted and blending the style of a jean with the comfort and durability of your favorite pair of work pants. Wear the Naked & Famous Slim Fit Duck Canvas Selvedge to a fall weekend hike — and then out for beers.
Wolverine Evans Boots — $400

Beautiful boots from a legendary brand.

It’s never hard to find great boots from Wolverine — the vintage-styled Evans Boots would look excellent with slim dark denim and a grey shawl-collar cardigan. Speaking of stylish men’s denim …
Levi’s Made & Crafted 511 Slim Jeans — $148

A terrific pair of easy-to-wear jeans.

The Levi’s Made & Crafted line amps up the premium quality you”ve come to expect from the brand, while at the same time reinventing classic styles for today. Sounds good to me.
LCD Soundsystem “American Dream” on Vinyl — $22

One of last year’s best albums — now on fall-friendly vinyl.

Yes, we’re talking more vinyl here. Among other Brooklyn-bred indie bands that are just as relevant today, LCD Soundsystem belongs in that conversation (along with The National!) thanks to last year’s excellent “American Dream” LP.
Flint and Tinder Moleskin Shirt Jacket — $188

A tough-as-nails shirt jacket for fall adventures.

OK, you’ve got your slim dark denim and your tough-as-nails Wolverine  boots .. now, my friends, you just need to pick up the comfortable, rugged Flint and Tinder Moleskin Shirt Jacket.
