The Tuesday Steal: This Todd Snyder Sportcoat is A True Style Find — at the Right Price

Best sportcoats for men to buy in 2025.

When you slip into a truly well-made menswear staple piece, like a carefully crafted, luxurious (yes, luxurious) edition of one of the best sportcoats for men, the difference is immediate, noticeable and certainly stylish. But what’s a well-dressed man to do when the chance to shop those sorts of pieces is often fleeting, and perhaps expensive? Todd Snyder is here with an answer, my friends.

The answer: Keep a close eye out for the best menswear deals, and recognize when a selection like the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket goes on sale. It’s not a true bargain bin discount from perhaps the best menswear designer in the country, but it’s as close as possible these days — at 30 percent off, the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is both a style and a wise sort of splurge (but not a full-price splurge!) if you want to upgrade your casual tailoring.

You see, the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is built with all the hallmarks of one of the best winter blazers for men, with 100% Virgin Wool craftsmanship for an ultra-soft finish. Further classic details, like timeless notch lapels in a width that’s right, cement this piece as a modern update of the classic grey flannel suit.

The jacket boasts a butterfly lining (look at the inside of the jacket’s back, while its sleeves are also lined — that way, your dress shirt sleeves won’t snag or bunch as you slide on the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket. It also features double vents, so it’s a formal spin on the blazer, which sometimes features a single vent.

Perhaps the best part about the crisply cut Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket – which is available now for 30 percent off in a wide range of sizes — is the fact that you can pair this jacket with its matching Todd Snyder Sutton suit pants, or else style it with seasonal favorites, like olive chinos or burgundy corduroys.

I myself would also feel comfortable wearing the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket with dark blue jeans for a dash of high-low style, but when in doubt, stick to pairing this handsome suit jacket with formal trousers in shades like navy, rust, olive or tan. Oh, and make special note of the fact that the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is only on sale for a limited time at 30 percent off — the rest of the season is as stylish as it gets, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Filson Waffle Knit Henley Offers the Utmost in Classic Comfort and Warmth

If it feels like we’ve reached the point in winter where there’s simply not much more to be done about the cold, where it feels like you’ve exhausted all your options as far as the most rugged gear (and warm gear, at that), well… fear not, my friends.

The good folks at Filson are here to save the day — at least in terms of your base layers, in the case of today’s Filson review — with one of the best henleys for men, a staple piece from a retailer that’s become an institution in the world of dependable outdoor performance (and style, of course).

The Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley seems simple on the surface, and sometimes, that’s not a bad thing when it comes time to bundle up for brisk weather. It boasts a thick waffle knit meant to bolster its heat retention and warmth in the cold, as the iconic Pacific Northwest retailer notes that the waffle knit of the aptly named Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley “creates a layer of air between the body and fabric for thermal retention and moisture management.”

Its ribbed cuffs and collar provide further durability — no need to worry about a sagging collar or flimsy cuffs, at least in my experience wearing Filson menswear. The two-button placket is shorter than other henleys on the market, but perhaps for good reason — the Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley is meant to be worn mostly buttoned up in chilly temperatures, although buttoning or unbuttoning one or both buttons delivers more airflow and temperature regulation.

Shop rugged outdoor gear at Filson now

Out of all of the best henleys on the market, you might say that the Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley is the one most built for work, hunting or trekking far afield — or simply layering underneath a waxed trucker jacket to hit up your local bar. If any or all of those things sound of interest — and sound like the kind of place you could put one of the best men’s henleys to work — then the Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley deserves place of pride in your wardrobe.

The Sunday Sale: Save 30 Percent on these Rugged Everyday Men’s Pants from Line of Trade

Finding the best deals on the best men’s gear, and then passing those savings onto customers who appreciate small craft brands and the work they do, is something of a specialty for the good folks at Bespoke Post. And it’s that passion for craft that led them to start Line of Trade — it’s a brand rooted in Americana and classically rugged styles, like the best work pants for men.

But here’s the catch: Although Line of Trade is its own brand entirely now (as you’ve seen from Line of Trade reviews here on this Brooklyn style blog), you can still score some standout savings back at its old parent company: Bespoke Post, of course.

And that brings us to the Line of Trade Foundry Pants, a durable and tough-as-nails pair of canvas pants that just so happen to be, well, highly stylish. Add in the fact that the Line of Trade Foundry Pants are on sale now at Bespoke Post for 30 percent off, and we’re in business.

That sense of style merged with craftsmanship is always nice to have in a pair of the best everyday pants, which boast the same five-pocket construction as your favorite jeans — yet with the sturdiness of a pair of 9oz. canvas work pants.

Yes, they’re likely more fit for work than play, so to speak, but the hard-working nature of the Line of Trade Foundry Pants extends far past brisk mornings in the garage or out in the field. Double-needle stitching at key stress points gives them true workwear appeal, while its pockets are built for utility and ample storage space.

The Line of Trade Foundry Pants also happen to be heavily garment-washed — that gives them a broken-in feel and easy wearability right out of the box, unlike other pairs of canvas work pants, which can come off as stiff and uncomfortable until worn repeatedly. Helpfully, the bottom hem can be rolled up for added mobility and a more secure fit, further bolstering the “everything-but-the-kitchen-sink” nature of these trusty work pants.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Heathered Wool Jac-Shirt – A Reliable Winter Weekend Layer

A man can never have enough sturdy, dependable menswear at his disposal, especially for frigid winter days and nights, and that’s where I find Filson gear and menswear continues to come in mighty handy, season after season, year after year.

The legendary Pacific Northwest heritage brand has been a foundational part of my wardrobe for years now, making some of the best waxed outerwear, thermals, denim and yes, one of the best shirt jackets for men.

As temperatures continue to plummet, and as I continue to put gear to the test for this Brooklyn style blog, I continually reach for Filson — perhaps you’re in the same boat? And with the drop of the new Filson Spring 2025 Collection, it’s time once again to see what’s in store from this legendary company.

Learn more now and shop at Filson

The new Filson Heathered Wool Jac-Shirt isn’t quite all that new, in fact — or rather, it’s an update in term of color and fabrication to the iconic Filson line of Jac-Shirts, which are burly, thick and utterly incredible in terms of winter warmth, at least in my experience. As Filson tells it, the Jac-Shirt “has provided versatile warmth for nearly five decades,” and it’s a sentiment I agree with wholeheartedly.

Filson Jac-Shirt.

This edition of the Filson Heathered Wool Jac-Shirt is made from a warm wool blend for stretch and the right amount of insulation.

And in matters of style points, it’s the Blue Heather variation of this particular Filson Heathered Wool Jac-Shirt that puts it a cut above the rest — that shade of blue almost gives it a ruggedly casual appeal, if you’re looking for something to layer over a white Oxford shirt with tobacco-hued chinos, for instance. But of course, the Filson Heathered Wool Jac-Shirt is at its best when paired with a thermal henley and canvas work pants on exceptionally brisk mornings.

The straight hem offers slightly more coverage than a traditional shirt, while front-button flap pockets offer crucial everyday carry storage space. And since this is Filson we’re talking about here, know that the brand delivers plenty of sizes and a limited lifetime guarantee on the Filson Heathered Wool Jac-Shirt.

Beyond that, this durable shirt jacket should provide plenty of room to layer over your favorite knitwear essentials — can you ask for much more from one of the best men’s shirt jackets? In my book, the Filson Heathered Wool Jac-Shirt is a certified winter style winner.

The Friday Read: New York Fashion Week with Woodford Reserve & Huckberry’s Latest Collection

Woodford Reserve NYFW.

Sometimes in my freelance writing pursuits, there’s an unusual (on the surface) yet much-welcomed intersection — like that of the spirits world and the menswear world.

Both are deeply committed to craftsmanship and quality, both tend to stand the test of time when done the right way, and one often makes for a natural fit with the other (wearing a finely tailored blazer to sip some small-batch bourbon, or sporting a rugged waxed trucker jacket in a color inspired by bourbon, for instance — like the classic Huckberry trucker jacket shown below).

It’s intoxicating stuff in my book, and the start of New York Fashion Week brought with it a perfectly natural crossover: Once again, Woodford Reserve partnered with fashion designer Sergio Hudson on a roaring kick-off to a busy stretch of days in the #menswear world. The partnership kicked off in earnest last year, and it’s made a welcome return as we blitz through a speedy version of the Friday Read.

On the heels of the release of Woodford Reserve Double Double Oaked — a deliciously rich bourbon now available nationally for the first time — the designer and the lauded bourbon maker took over a vast warehouse space on Manhattan’s west side. Ringing in fashion week has never been more fun, or more delicious in terms of libations, at least in my book.

It also presented an opportunity to chat with industry icon and bourbon veteran, Woodford Reserve Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. The experience was illuminating and a major treat –and the latest from Woodford Reserve lived up to the hype, and then some.

And of course, I broke out a few of my favorite style essentials for the occasion, including some crisply cut Tecovas Chelsea boots, trusty Flint and Tinder 365 Pants and a Todd Snyder denim shirt. The rest of the way — as you know if you follow me on Instagram — I’ll be rocking the latest and greatest from the new Huckberry and Flint and Tinder winter menswear collection, which boasts burly flannel shirts, sturdy waxed outerwear, cozy cable knit sweaters and more.

Shop new Flint and Tinder gear now

It’s all up for grabs, it’s ready for the great outdoors and it really feels as if it’s all happening this weekend, from NYFW to Super Bowl Sunday. Again, be sure to follow me on Instagram for the latest and greatest.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Cable Sweater Delivers Expert Winter Warmth (and Style)

Winter shows no signs of letting up or slowing down, at least in my neck o’ the woods — that calls for burly, durable, dependable outerwear and knitwear. In fact, if you’ve got the opportunity to pick up a heritage-inspired style at a discount, that’s all the better — and we’re hitting the sweet spot today with a classic cable knit sweater from our friends at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder.

Find out more now at Huckberry

Part of a slew of discounts available from the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a modern update of a classic, an utterly reliable style with tightly woven cable detailing for added warmth.

To hear the famed retailer tell it, the sweater “offers heirloom-worthy craftsmanship, heritage cable-knit looks, and everyday durability” — I’ll let you be the judge of that, but if Flint and Tinder’s tough-as-nails waxed outerwear is any indication, you’re in good company with perhaps your new favorite sweater.

They don’t quite make ’em like they used to, unless the brand in question is Flint and Tinder at Huckberry. In my experience, the brand’s healthy respect for the past lends itself nicely to high-quality styles and timeless designs across the board, including this sweater spun from a blend of lambswool (for warmth) and nylon (for rebound potential and durability).

The Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater also happens to come in crisp, versatile colors like Navy, which pairs up well with chinos, corduroy pants and workwear trousers in shades ranging from tobacco to light tan to rust and olive (yes, all the colors of the spectrum are present, my friends).

The handsome Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a piece with heirloom potential in its own right, but for modern times, it’ll pair nicely with a durable flannel overshirt, a sturdy waxed field jacket or your trusty Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, to name but a few selections. And right now via Huckberry’s latest and greatest sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a discounted splurge worth adding to your sweater rotation ASAP.

See Now, Buy Now: The Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots are an All-Time Classic Pair of Men’s Boots

Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots.

It’s a high bar to clear to call a pair of men’s boots a classic, is it not? There are pairs that are sturdy and dependable, pairs that are stylish and sleek, some pairs that are a bit between those two branches — and some that manage to check plenty of boxes, emerging as an all-time classic. Lofty praise though that might be, the Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots (as sold by our good friends Huckberry this time around) fit the bill as an all-time classic.

Worn decades ago by miners, the Minnesota company still makes these utterly classic boots much the same way, using a double-layer toe cap, sturdy hardware, its own S.B. Foot Tanning Leather and as dependable construction as any pair of boots on the market.

Learn more now at Huckberry

What is it about the Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots that makes them timeless? Is it the way the leather breaks in over time, developing patina as the insole molds to your foot? Is it the way the double-layer cap toe serves a purpose in terms of both form and function? Or is the use of features like gilt hooks, which serve as both a lacing system and an attractive design touch?

At least in my experience (I’ve had a pair since 2019), it might not be a stretch to call the Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots some of the best men’s boots out there, and that holds true whether you wear them more casually with sturdy dark denim or with canvas work pants out in the field or the garage.

As ever, these handsome leather work boots — shown here in Copper Rough and Tough leather, but also available in colors like Black and even Charcoal at times — are a certified winner just about any way you wear ’em.

Lace up some Red Wing boots from Huckberry

And since you’ll likely be able to find plenty of use for the Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots, they’ll mold that much more quickly to your foot (the midsole is made from cork, after all), while the leather itself resists leather, stains and even perspiration. Looking for a pair of boots that have climbed the style summit as an all-time classic? My friends, the Red Wing Heritage Iron Ranger Boots fit the bill.

The Tuesday Steal: Save on the Famed Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket at Huckberry This Week

Best winter jackets for men.

As we often talk about here on this Brooklyn style blog, it often pays off to have a roster of men’s style essentials you can count on in the clutch — preparing for whatever the season throws at you can go a long way. And right now, for much of the country, that involves frigid air, brisk winds and plummeting temperatures — the perfect sort of weather in which to break out the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket from our good friends at Huckberry.

The best part? You’ll find it on sale right now via the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, which rolls on through February 6th — but then again, you might already know that if you’ve been keeping up with the blog.

Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket review.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket is the sort of stylish winter jacket for men that comes in handy in a great deal of style situations, and it’s all the better that it’s on sale (marked down to $254, from $318). The water-resistant outer shell comes in a hardy woven nylon-cotton blend for repelling water and wind, while 80-gram down insulation from recycled polyester adds warmth.

Granted, the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket isn’t rated for sub-zero temperatures necessarily, but should prove serviceable as a mighty fine winter jacket — perhaps atop a Relwen flannel shirt — provided you’re not traipsing through foot-high snow drifts (there are a variety of other men’s jackets at Huckberry that can tackle those scenarios).

The stand-up collar provides protection from the elements, useful inner and outer zipper pockets allow you to store your everyday carry essentials with ease, and the snap front closure further keeps out water and wind.

Shop men’s jackets and more at Huckberry

Consider the on-sale, tough-as-can-be Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket a fine casual outerwear move for days and nights on the go — particularly with Huckberry stretch chinos and perhaps lug-sole Chelsea boots for added traction. Go forth and pick up the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket on sale while this deal sticks around (again, through February 6th!).

See Now, Buy Now: The Proof Rover Pants from Huckberry are A Must-Have for Your Next Trip

What do you value when hitting the road in terms of style and performance? And comfort, for that matter? Is it possible to strike a balance between the two, whether trekking far afield or staying a bit closer to home? With the Proof Rover Pants from Huckberry, my friends, the answer when it comes to striking the perfect balance is a resounding “yes.”

In m experience, the Proof Rover Pants are about as durable and dependable as it gets, boasting the stretch canvas fabric of workwear pants with the cut of a five-pocket pant. And the Proof Rover EDC Pants go a step further, bolstering the performance-plus-rugged-appeal nature of the Proof lineup at Huckberry even further. What sets the Proof Rover EDC Pants apart from your typical pair of cargo pants or work pants?

It’s got to be the pockets, my friends. The Proof Rover EDC Pants feature an astounding eight pockets for your everyday carry essentials, yet the design is such that these pockets are streamlined while staying effective (unlike the billowy cargo pants of days gone by).

In fact, the Proof Rover EDC Pants are more like modern adventure pants, featuring a lightweight cotton-blend fabric that’s also been pigment-dyed — that means your new favorite travel pants wear in like denim while staying abrasion-resistant yet comfortable.

The term “laundry” when it comes to features is an apt one with the Proof Rover EDC Pants, and there’s even better news: You can score a 50 percent discount on some of the best travel style for guys when you dive into these pants at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale (now through February 6th, my friends).

And about those pockets. You’ll find pockets for keys, a card case, additional items like a multi-tool and more. Some pockets on these durable workwear pants boast zippers for security, and some are built like patch pockets for easy access.

Either way, the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale provides the chance to scoop up some of the best pants for men at a discount. With all the bells and whistles you’re getting in a pair of the Proof Rover EDC Pants (including a range of versatile color options), you very well might want to book a trip just so you can break ’em out.
