The Friday Find: This USA-Made Flannel Shirt Is a True Winter Style Essential

As it turns out in the menswear world, when you know, you really know. That is to say, as far as the best menswear essentials are concerned, when you come across an exceptionally well-made, durable and dependable flannel shirt for men — for instance — you can spot the difference right away, in each and every stitch.

So it goes with the finely crafted, reliable-as-can-be USA-made menswear from Devium USA, the Truckee, California-based brand with a steadfast commitment to all-American style and production. In my experience, even the brand’s T-shirts and short-sleeve buttondown shirts — not necessarily easy selections to perfect — are carefully crafted with plenty of care in mind, and that goes for the soft-yet-strong fabric and sturdiness in every single stitch.

Even one look at a men’s style staple like the Devium Boca American-Made Flannel Shirt might be enough to convert you and your closet, what with its exceptional blend of easy-to-style good looks and, as the company notes, the shirt’s expertly crafted  double-brushed, yarn-dyed 100% cotton flannel construction.

It’s far from the first time we’ve talked about the USA-made fabrication behind every piece of Devium USA menswear, which is a rare thing to find these days. Available in a whopping and highly stylish, endlessly wearable 15-plus variations, the handsome Devium Boca American-Made Flannel Shirt features remarkable details both large and small, including custom-engraved cat’s eye buttons, flat-felled seams and a substantial-but-supple midweight flannel fabric build.

The rich plaid design in its many different shades is an utterly classic move as far as flannel shirts are concerned, while the proudly American-made brand notes that “it handles a crisp morning commute as easily as a chilly fall night by the fire” — and in my experience wearing Devium USA, you’re going to want to get plenty of wear in any and all situations when it comes to this hard-wearing, one-of-a-kind men’s flannel shirt.

The company sagely notes you’ll want more than one variation of the downright essential Devium Boca American-Made Flannel Shirt, and it’s hard to argue with that sentiment.

If I were you, I’d layer up this ever-reliable flannel shirt for men atop a pocket tee, a henley or your favorite graphic T-shirt — season after season, week after week, day after day. When it comes to something like the Devium Boca American-Made Flannel Shirt, you can count on the right construction, style sensibility and rugged good looks — that’s a guarantee I’ll stand by, my friends.

Best down jackets for men.

Right off the bat, let’s hop headlong into our first style dispatch of 2026, shall we?? Cheers to you and yours, my friends. Now, to business as far as the best winter style essentials are concerned.

When adventure calls, be it a winter park stroll, a day on the slopes or an apres-ski imbibing appointment (I recommend a lovely Hugo Spritz!), the right gear is paramount.

Of course, you know this well if you read this Brooklyn style blog on the regular, and you know the need to track down the right winter style essentials if ever you’ve shopped or worn a brand that’s not up to par — the brisk weather assuredly catches up quick out there, does it not?

And yet, on the other side of the coin, there’s Aether Apparel, makers of some of the finest technical and performance menswear on the market.

True winter style essentials abound from the California brand, which fuses luxury materials with standout performance and streamlined great looks for nearly all occasions that could take you from the city to the country and back. Take the Aether Apparel Prospect Down Jacket: It’s a minimal, clean and yet stylish take on the traditional down jacket, fused with a sense of adventure and durability in every stitch.

Every detail has been carefully considered in finding the right mix of performance and style, starting with the way the jacket is actually filled with insulation. Called a “masterclass in packable warmth,” the jacket’s highly technical 800-fill power recycled goose down features a main body and sleeve design filled with that reliable, sustainable and warm insulation.

For further ease of movement, the Aether Apparel Prospect Down Jacket then rounds out its side panels and collar with PrimaLoft Gold insulation for greater ease of movement. It’s an ingenious design that makes the Aether Apparel Prospect Down Jacket truly one-of-a-kind in terms of lightweight warmth and extreme packability — this rugged down jacket for men can be packed into its own left pocket for an incredible use of on-the-go utility and intelligent design.

It’s also complete with a custom-branded two-way front zipper for the perfect fit on the slopes or off, while a self-fabric wind guard and chin guard offer plenty of additional protection from nature’s worst this season.

This durable down jacket is a high-minded take on the traditional down jacket, filled with the right amount of insulated, recycled warmth in a remarkably clean design — the kind that wears as well with canvas work pants or snow pants as it does with classic blue denim and a thermal henley for impeccable casual style.

Best blazers for men to buy now.

There’s still one last entry on the calendar to cross off before we move from 2025 into 2026, but it’s never too early — as I’ve said across the past weeks — to start thinking about how your next year will develop in matters of style and substance.

On that note, let’s start things off with a bang — and with style and savings in mind — by poring over the happenings at the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, as prime a way to roll from one year into the next as any.

Shop Huckberry’s year-end sale now through January 1st

If you’ve kept up with the blog as of late, you’ll have found that via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, there’s little that’s not up for grabs at a discount, particularly in matters of winter style (not to mention the perfect blend of cozy comfort and dashing good looks).

There are discounts aplenty on brands that aren’t for sale all that often via Huckberry, but we’ll set our sights on the fan-favorite offerings from Relwen today, a military and heritage-inspired brand with an utterly classic outlook on, well, the classics.

Ohio-based Relwen makes razor-sharp chinos, soft yet rugged flannel shirts, lined flannel shirt jackets and even some cool-as-can-be long-sleeve polos, as well as the famed Relwen Trap Blazer — it’s a streamlined, grab-and-go selection that blends the fierce determination of an old-school hunting jacket with the effortless modern cool of a lightweight blazer, and the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer goes a step further in matters of everyday comfort, fashion and reliability.

As Huckberry sagely notes, the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is “structured like a blazer, soft like a sweatshirt,” this time using a jacquard knit fabric with a smooth interior backing that’s been woven into an utterly soft, stretchy and wildly comfortable take on the classic blazer.

Best winter blazer for men.

The same hallmarks of the modern icon that is the Relwen Trap Blazer remain, like its natural-shouldered build and four-button front finished off with a handy and just-plain-cool throat latch button for added protection from the elements.

Patch front pockets help this casually rugged jacket feel like a patch-pocket blazer, while the utterly soft jersey construction means it feels and wears more like a sweatshirt, which is a major bonus in my book.

So if you’re searching for a more laidback blazer you can throw on over a contrasing T-shirt, a henley or a more rugged chambray shirt with dark blue jeans, then the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is your next menswear ace-in-the-hole.

And of course, via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, it’s on sale now for about 30 percent off. The time is plenty ripe to take stock of new and old menswear favorites: Ensure this handsome men’s blazer is among them this winter.

Style Pick of the Week: Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket – A Heritage-Approved Winter Outerwear Staple

If ever you feel like your rotation of winter style essentials is fully sorted out, be sure to keep your options open — you never know when you might need a timely upgrade in matters of form and function, and that’s where a heritage brand like Barbour can serve you very well.

Known as the premier British countryside outerwear brand for generations, Barbour is now a touch more modern and yet every bit as classically functional — especially now that a retailer like Huckberry sells plenty of Barbour winter jackets and more. Let’s take a closer look at Barbour and its mighty array of winter gear, yes?

Shop the best winter menswear at Barbour & Huckberry

Barbour silhouettes are often instantly recognizable, with heritage and history made to go far afield, whether hunting or taking on a coastal hike or a cabin weekend. Tried-and-true and reliable are apt words that come to mind when shopping Barbour winter jackets, particularly the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket (a best-seller at Huckberry that’s very much worth your time and money).

Huckberry gets it precisely correct, calling Barbour “a historic name in men’s outdoor apparel,” and that’s a spot-on estimation of a brand with more than 120 years of dependability in the outerwear game.

The Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket draws from classic field coats with a slimmer cut and a fit that hits closer to the hip, along with a stand-up collar and fleece lining for extra protection from the elements and supreme warmth without added bulk.

The Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket also boasts a snap-closure flap front and a two-way zipper design for a customizable fit — both geared to protect you from rain and wind while also offering mobility when riding a motorcycle or traversing extreme terrain.

Note that the handsome Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket features 50 grams of insulation, so it would pair best with additional layers beneath for added warmth (an ultra-thick parka, this is not — although that certainly doesn’t mean the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket isn’t more than ready for adventures off grid). The Sage color as shown here also boasts maximum versatility — exactly what you want in matters of style in the cold weather.

Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket review.

The corduroy-lined funnel neck design of the highly durable Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket is a major bonus as far as weather-ready performance is concerned, while you can use back waist tabs for a more snug fit.

And since this jacket is finished with (synthetic) leather details at the collar and cuffs, there’s an added dash of countryside flair as far as this exceptional men’s outdoor jacket as concerned.

As worthwhile a style move with charcoal wool trousers at the pub as with grey canvas work pants or dark blue jeans for a weekend away, the historic quality and reliable performance of the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket could prove a catalyst for expertly crafted winter style and warmth this season. It’s yours for the taking from Huckberry, my friends.

And so it goes as we once again examine a brand making some of the finest boots for men on the market — it’s been some time since we talked about this Austin-based brand, masters of classically rugged boots and dress shoes since 2009, but today’s Friday Find is as a prime a time as any to dive right in.

The Helm Boots Zind Boots are a streamlined, minimal yet rugged set of leather boots for men, crafted on a custom last for a dressy-meets-versatile silhouette — the kind that, as the brand says, you can wear with a tailored navy suit to the office during the week, and then out and about with a waxed trucker jacket, a thermal henley and faded blue jeans across the weekend.

The Helm Boots Zind Boots get the details large and small correct, including the use of full-grain Krumenauer leather, plus Blake Rapid Stitch welt construction for durability while also remaining relatively affordable.

The Helm Boots Zind Boots also feature hallmarks of the Austin-based brand, including the company’s eye-catching, signature white midsole and leather-lined construction with an ultra-comfortable leather insole made to mold to your feet over time.

With their textured leather upper that should patina with exceptional quality and striking good looks over time, the Helm Boots Zind Boots look like a pair from a much more expensive brand, complete with durable construction, finishing touches like antique brass eyelets and a grippy yet not-overbearing Denver last. When winter comes calling and a pair of dress boots are the solution to your next #OOTD, make sure you’re lacing up a pair of the Helm Boots Zind Boots.
