Style Pick of the Week: Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt – The Best Men’s Winter Shirt

There are some menswear essentials that are so well-loved these days, it seems a bit too good to be true, especially when you consider the full rotation of the best men’s shirts up for grabs at NYC-based Faherty Brand. The family-owned brand is more than just a menswear and women’s wear company – they believe in crafting products with good intention and great storytelling, the type of pieces you can wear day-to-day and for special occasions, and the Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt is one of those much-loved menswear essentials that seems too good to be true… but actually isn’t. It’s the perfect entry in our ongoing Style Pick of the Week series, because it checks plenty of the right boxes.

Shop men’s shirts at Faherty

You see, the Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt is many things at once: It’s a classic flannel shirt made to layer underneath a rugged Faherty sherpa trucker jacket, but it’s also a dependable overshirt, a cozy winter shirt for weekend lounging, and the sort of stylish men’s shirt you can wear untucked with your favorite pair of chinos to the office on a more laidback day.

The Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt is plenty well-reviewed and much-loved by fans of the brand, boasting 751 reviews at an average of five stars — sure enough, Faherty reviews are quick to call out the rugged styling potential and yet ridiculously soft feel of the newly iconic, classically modern Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt. It’s the kind of shirt that looks like a throwback weekend essential, the kind your father or grandfather might have worn to get work done on cold winter days, but it’s so much more than that. The Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt is available in an astonishing 15 colors and patterns, for one, so style points are covered with one of the best men’s shirts for winter.

Stock up on your new favorite shirt

The Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt also has comfort in spades where it counts, using polyester, viscose and spandex to provide an astonishing amount of stretch and wearability, particularly when layered over, say, one of the best men’s henley shirts from Faherty. That’s just one of the classic combos that truly set the Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt apart from the pack, and it only gets better from there. It’s also made to be worn when comfort and warmth really count, be it on a winter weekend getaway or a casual Saturday around town — it’s designed to be layered like an overshirt or one of the best men’s shirt jackets, complete with two front-button chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials. At the end of the day, the Faherty Brand Legend Sweater Shirt just gets the job done if it’s one of the best men’s shirts for winter you want on your back. You won’t be disappointed in this one.

The Friday Read: New Huron Deodorant, Performance Gear from Western Rise & Huckberry’s Best Hoodie

Best men's grooming essentials.

Let’s start the weekend on a fresh note, literally, with the latest and greatest in men’s grooming essentials from Huron. The performance skincare brand, which already offers plenty of well-received men’s grooming kits and individual items, just introduced new Huron Deodorant, and I’ll be testing it out properly very soon. In the meantime — and based on my experience with other Huron products and Huron reviews — let me offer up a crisp, clean co-sign if you’ve been searching for the best men’s grooming products to add to your routine ASAP. Better still, these are men’s grooming products made in America, which is pretty neat in its own right. So, I’d say that’s a nice, refreshing way to get this winter weekend started — wouldn’t you agree?

Beyond refreshing your grooming routine, let me point you in another, fresh direction for your weekend. As just one of the many hats I wear as a freelance writer, I get the chance to cover another one of my passions — music! — for sites like Atwood Magazine. I recently had the chance to catch up with Ian Devaney, lead singer of Brooklyn synth pop trio Nation of Language, and I’d recommend you give that feature a read and a listen to add some zip to your weekend. One more note before we get back to menswear — I also publish a music and menswear newsletter, which is also worth your time! Alright, then — here we go with the rest of today’s Friday Read.

Best men's hoodie.
  • Like I said, we’re back to menswear here with a helpful reminder for the weekend ahead. In case you’re still searching for a cozy winter weekend layer, head over to Huckberry — of course — to shop one of the best hoodies for men. You very well might already be acquainted with the hoodie in question (the famed and very well-reviewed Flint and Tinder 10-Year Hoodie), but hey, a little refresher never hurt anyone, right? Stock up accordingly with the best hoodie at Huckberry (and more!).

  • I’m all about comfortable performance menswear these days, the kind of gear that’s built with stretch, a soft feel and plenty of versatility. So, here’s another menswear recommendation: If you missed out on the end-of-year sale from Western Rise, purveyors of stretch pants and shirts made for a day hike and the office, there’s still plenty of time to shop and stock up. For starters, the brand is always debuting new launches (like its StrongCore Merino Hoodie), and you get free shipping in the States on orders of more than $150. It doesn’t get better than that. Happy shopping, folks.
Shop Western Rise gear now
  • Last but certainly not least, here’s one more style pick to send you off into the weekend. The right winter layer can make a world of difference when it comes down to staying warm on chilly, drafty, breezy winter days. That’s precisely why I wrote all about the best shawl cardigans from some of your favorite brands (be it Todd Snyder, Huckberry or Buck Mason) over at AskMen. Here’s to staying warm in style this weekend!

That’ll close out this weekend-starting dispatch on my end, but again, thank you for your ongoing readership and support! If ever there are any brands you want to see featured, or any gear you want to see covered, don’t hesitate to send me a note on Twitter or Instagram. Alright, let’s get into the weekend!

The Thursday Buy: Billy Reid’s Moleskin Jeans Are The Coolest Pants for Men to Buy Now

As much as you might have updated your uniform over the last, say, two years to reflect more casual menswear and casual times, there’s still something to be said for getting dressed the right way with a pair of the best men’s pants. Yes, that’s right: I said it, and you’re going to have to get dressed in sharp style again one of these days. Enter Billy Reid and the seriously cool, versatile Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans. They’re a perfect example of the ways in which the Alabama-based namesake brand remains one of the best menswear designers in the country.

Satchel and Page

Billy’s focus is on giving the classics a fresh, modern and yet still timeless spin, whether it’s one of the best sweatshirts for men — updated with neat elbow patches — or the classic Billy Reid Bond Peacoat. He really doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to blending the more rugged with the more refined, which is why pieces like the Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans are the perfect way to ease back into wearing more traditional pants (as comfortable as your sweatpants might be, that is). It starts with the Portuguese-made construction and the careful use of just a hint of elastane for comfortable stretch, turning the Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans into a next-level pair of pants, so to speak. It gets better from there, luckily.

As ever with Billy Reid menswear, it’s the details that make the difference, and the Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans are packed with small touches only one of the country’s top style designers can provide. Take the custom hardware on the front center of these stylish slim-fit jeans, not to mention the ultra-soft fabric and the tailored fit throughout. It’s the little things and the big things that Billy Reid gets correct here, turning these into some of the best pants for men. But remember: That touch of stretch makes them more comfortable right out of the box than stiff selvedge jeans, and that’s not a bad thing, either. They’re also available in rich colors like the khaki-esque Rubber and the wear-with-anything Earth Green shown above. Fear not the higher price tag ($228 at Billy Reid), because these are going to provide some nice bang for your buck.

Satchel and Page

The Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans are going to replace even your most treasured pair of sweatpants, and they also might even replace a pair of your favorite jeans (remember, moleskin is like a brushed cotton, a nice change of pace from classic, much-loved Billy Reid men’s jeans). The Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans are a change of pace from the ordinary, wearable with anything and everything from one of the best henleys for men — which you can also find at Billy Reid — to a tailored shawl cardigan for rugged winter layering. You can even wear the Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans with a classic T-shirt and a trucker jacket for the ideal blend of high-low style. When it’s time to get dressed properly by wearing “real pants,” I’d wager the Billy Reid Moleskin Jeans are going to prove more than essential — they might even become a new favorite.

See Now, Buy Now: This Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Henley is the Winter Menswear Layer You Need Now

Just when you thought you had your winter wardrobe all figured out, well, I’m here to tell you there’s another winter menswear must-have from Mack Weldon that you’ve simply got to pick up. Just as Mack Weldon makes one of the best men’s flannel shirts for winter or one of the best winter crewneck sweaters, they’ve got you covered in other ways, too (beyond their lineup of the best men’s basics, even). And this, folks, is where the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley enters the equation (and your winter wardrobe, of course). It’s one of the best men’s henleys a guy can own, made with modern performance and standout style in spades, believe it or not.

The key is the use of Thermolite® technology to provide warmth and insulation without going overboard. The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley really delivers as a base layer beneath a Mack Weldon flannel shirt or crewneck sweater, and it also works well on its own for casual lounging around the house. And yet, when the going gets tough and the thermostat plummets, the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley is going to prove as warm a winter layer as it gets.

The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley consistently proves its value as a rugged winter layer, made with raglan sleeve stitching to give it some visual interest while also improving mobility and layering potential. The fit on the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley should prove tailored but not overly tight, crucial if you hope to wear it on its own or even as a more rugged complement to, say, one of the best men’s winter blazers (team it with a pair of indigo jeans to really drive home that business casual look). It’s also important to note that the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley is as affordable as it gets in terms of an insulating, high-quality henley. It retails for $68 at Mack Weldon, not a bad price for one of the best henleys for men.

The four-button placket on the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley also makes it visually interesting and more versatile beyond your standard undershirt or base layer. And rich color options, from Walnut Heather to Winestain, give this rugged, performance-minded henley a few added style points, too. The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Waffle Henley is also exceptionally well-reviewed by customers, with more than 200 Mack Weldon reviews driving home the fact that this is an easily wearable, warm and highly versatile men’s henley. What are you waiting for? Add it to your wardrobe and really finish off your winter ensembles the right way.

The Tuesday Steal: The Best Winter Workshirt Is Under $100 From Filson Right Now

The most extreme conditions require the best gear on the planet, which is where Filson frequently steps in to save the day with, among other things, a full lineup of the best men’s shirts for winter. Such is the case with today’s Tuesday Steal, the Filson Field Flannel Shirt. Simply put, it’s one of the best men’s shirts under $100 on the market (it’s ($98 at Filson), and if you act quickly enough, it can be on its way to your doorstep with just a few clicks. Of course, it’s just part of what’s up for grabs right now at Filson, including one of the most rugged shirt jackets you can find, along with an incredibly affordable beanie cap for winter. In short, there’s little you find at Filson that isn’t overbuilt (in a great way), and yet surprisingly accessible in terms of price — when you consider how much wear you can get out of these pieces, that is.

Read other Filson reviews

The Filson Field Flannel Shirt is particularly exceptional in terms of its design, affordability and performance, all of which you should come to expect from the lauded Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter. It also seems to be a hot seller among the entire rotation of Filson men’s shirts, which is no surprise either. To wit: The Filson Field Flannel Shirt is billed as lightweight yet tough, easy to layer and yet warm when worn the right way. It only gets better from there, especially if you seek a reliable layer for outdoor winter pursuits.

Product lifestyle image

Crucially, the Filson Field Flannel Shirt uses a medium-weight 7oz. cotton flannel that’s been garment-washed for softness (and to prevent shrinkage — this is much-needed if you’re layering it over, say a rugged Filson thermal shirt). Two large front-button chest flap pockets provide critical space for your everyday carry essentials and small tools, turning the Filson Field Flannel Shirt into a true workshirt, as opposed to just a casually rugged flannel shirt (never a bad thing to have on hand, either). The Filson Field Flannel Shirt‘s affordability is a big bonus, given that you can wear it with everything from Filson’s indigo blue jeans to work pants and hard-working leather boots.

The Filson Field Flannel Shirt also comes in different colors beyond just your typical flannel shirt, including an eye-catching Legion Blue color (this Brooklyn writer’s personal favorite). Pick it up in one of two different lengths depending on your needs, but know that the Filson Field Flannel Shirt can be worn tucked in or untucked with work pants, some of the best men’s chinos or the aforementioned Filson men’s jeans. Whatever you need to get done this season, the affordably priced, well-made Filson Field Flannel Shirt belongs in your closet — all at a low price considering the versatility you’re getting.

See Now, Buy Now: FRYE’s Logan Cap Toe Boots are Some of the Best Men’s Winter Boots to Buy Now

Logan Cap Toe Boot // Whiskey (US: 10.5) - Frye - Touch of Modern

If you’re still spending your days searching for a pair of the best boots for men to wear the rest of winter, search no more, because the FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots are exactly what the doctor ordered, and that’s an understatement. They’re just the latest and greatest in a long lineage of outstanding, stylish boots for men from the USA-founded, heritage-minded style and gear brand. FRYE has a knack for blending the best elements of craftsmanship with superb style, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg, as they say. FRYE’s boots are dressy but durable, highly rugged and ready for anything, be it winter weather, the office or a seasonal date night.

Shop men’s boots at FRYE

Any occasion where you need to look your best should be one where you lace up a pair of the FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots, in short. Why these boots, and why right now? Well, time is of the essence with winter footwear, and the FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots are some of the more unique boots on the market, so that’s great incentive to snap up a pair.

The FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots quite literally stand apart from the pack thanks to the use of finely crafted, vegetable-tanned leather that’s been pre-distressed and yet is also geared to age nicely over time. They’re Goodyear-welted, a process that means you can resole these boots — it’s worth the extra effort and investment, because the FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots certainly don’t come cheap (they retail for $478 at FRYE right now, but again, that price tag is worth it). The rubber outsole on this pair of the best men’s boots for winter provides traction and durability, ensuring you’ll stay on your feet on slippery city streets while getting around wearing the truly exceptional FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots.

Shop your new favorite boots

There are multiple variations in terms of distressed leather and different colorways to choose from as you shop the rugged-as-can-be FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots, but it’s the aged brown leather that I think pairs best with everything from the best men’s blue jeans to your favorite pair of corduroy pants for winter. Between the cap toe detailing and the relatively sleek profile, the FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots are dressy yet rugged all at once, which is great news if you want a pair of the best men’s boots you can wear with practically anything (black jeans included), and practically anywhere (yes, even to the office). The FRYE Logan Cap Toe Boots deliver on great looks and tremendous winter-ready functionality, so add them to your boots rotation ASAP.

Style Pick of the Week: Buck Mason Donegal Cable Crew – Most Rugged Sweater for Winter

Zoomed product image

There’s never a bad time to bolster your winter menswear rotation with one of the best winter sweaters, and if you can embrace a piece that’s both classic and yet decidedly on trend at the same time, then I say that’s all the better. Enter the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew, a burly and hard-wearing sweater to rival any one of the best men’s sweaters you might already have in your closet. Fisherman sweaters have never really gone out of fashion, serving as a classic reminder of when such sweaters were worn on the high seas and knitted primarily in the Aran Islands.

Shop Buck Mason’s winter menswear

These days, brands like Buck Mason — already purveyors of one of the best men’s winter parkas and some of the best winter menswear deals — use modern fabric blends (like merino wool with nylon) to give sweaters like the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew some added punch. The result is a durable and dependable sweater that looks every bit like the classic icons your grandfather (and Hemingway) appreciated so much, yet with performance for 2022 in mind. The thick knit of this sweater is primed for frigid temperatures these days, and at a sub-$200 price, it’s not hard to see why the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew has been a hot seller.

Zoomed product image

The textured fabric and rugged knit of the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew make it as inspired a sweater as you’re apt to find these days, the kind you can easily wear with other favorites from Buck Mason, naturally. Take the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew and pair it with slim, dark Buck Mason men’s jeans and your favorite pair of leather boots for a tried-and-true combination that works at the office on a casual Friday or for a weekend brewery trip. Better still, the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew works when worn with an Oxford shirt (again, at the office) or atop — or beneath! — a more rugged flannel workshirt. It should be cut with enough room to layer, which is a great thing considering it’s knit thickly enough that you’ll want to reach for it when winter is at its worst.

Layer up with Buck Mason sweaters

The Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew features hand-linked panels, a careful process that extends the life of the garment beyond just sewing these panels. All in all, it’s precise-yet-rugged design touches that make the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew one of the best men’s winter sweaters, far and away. It’s pricier than your standard V-neck or crewneck sweatshirt (the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew retails for $198 at Buck Mason), but it’ll go a long way towards making your winter that much warmer and more stylish. Consider adding it — or any one of Buck Mason’s stylish sweaters for men — to your wardrobe before it sells out.

The Thursday Buy: Arvin Goods Is Making the Best Socks to Wear with Your Favorite Boots

Crew Sock - Performance — Hemp Biofiber – Arvin Goods

Stepping out to face winter weather can be quite the process some days, sure, but you can’t step out the door if you’re not wearing a pair of the best boot socks. That’s right: Before you can lace up your favorite pair of leather boots for winter, you need some of the best men’s boot socks in tow, hence why we’re here today to get you up to speed with the latest and greatest at Arvin Goods. You might recognize the brand from past Arvin Goods reviews on this site, specifically when its no-show socks were sold at Huckberry, but here’s a refresher as you get ready to lace up your rugged winter boots again. They’ve grown steadily over the years with an uncompromising focus on sustainability, turning a notorious industry into one that’s slowly but surely becoming more eco-friendly. How does Arvin Goods do it, and how does it all result in some of the best men’s socks on the market? Let’s take a closer look, and then we’ll get into what makes the Arvin Goods Recycled Wool Boot Socks your next go-to pair.

Learn more at Arvin Goods

Right off the bat, the good folks at Minnesota-based Arvin Goods — who also make a nice rotation of stylish, sustainable headwear — use the right materials, including recycled or discarded fabric scraps repurposed into new, comfortable socks. They’ve outlined it in great detail on their Responsibilities page, noting how the process uses almost no water and at the same time, keeping old textiles out of landfills. It’s a pretty innovative and eco-conscious approach, one that makes Arvin Goods one of my favorite sustainable brands of the moment (up there with rugged outdoor apparel brand Outerknown, of course). But back to what we were talking about earlier — the best men’s boot socks, right?

All of this sustainability and a continued focus on excellence results in, well, terrific socks for your feet and your wardrobe. The Arvin Goods Recycled Wool Boot Socks are made from a blend of recycled wool, polyester and acrylic, giving them some stretch and some give while still keeping your feet toasty without overheating. It’s a tricky balance to strike, but that’s what the Arvin Goods Recycled Wool Boot Socks do when worn day in and day out. You can also get multi-packs from Arvin Goods, including the brand’s classic crew socks, but I’d suggest getting at least two of, heck, each color of the Arvin Goods Recycled Wool Boot Socks — you’re going to be wearing boots all winter, yes? Might as well do it the right way in terms of your sock rotation.

Shop Arvin Goods socks now

Ribbed stitching offers support and a stay-upright fit, and the reinforced heel and toe is precisely what you need from socks that are going to be worn with heavier, durable leather boots. On top of that, the three colors in which you can snag the Arvin Goods Recycled Wool Boot Socks are about as reliable as it gets, and able to be paired stylishly with a pair of the best men’s blue jeans or better still, a pair of the best men’s chinos when you wear boots to the office. Thanks to their Portuguese-made construction, the Arvin Goods Recycled Wool Boot Socks will run slightly pricier than your average pair of socks, but again, the fit, comfort, quality and warmth here is fair above average. Any time you need to wear socks with boots, any time at all, keep a pair of the Arvin Goods Recycled Wool Boot Socks close by. Your feet will thank you.
