It plays off the brand’s penchant for using the finest materials to deliver uniquely tough menswear, the kind that takes a beating and keeps on going. And with the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher, it does the seemingly impossible.

It improves upon the already-exceptional Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, using rugged, heavier 10oz. Martexin waxed sailcloth fabric and a new, hard-working fit and design.

Available in four rich and classic colors (including Dark Oak, Charcoal and Field Tan), the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher boasts durable exterior fabrication and a quilted, flannel-lined interior (as the name implies) for maximum warmth. To say it’s a jacket that’s hard to beat is quite apt indeed.

Best of all is the fact that this remarkable jacket is made in the USA and boasts helpful details like two button-front EDC chest pockets and angled hip pockets with rounded exterior stitching. Those pockets should provide crucial storage space for any essentials you need to keep on hand, and it doesn’t hurt that the contrast flannel lining is a richly crafted, stylish pattern, too.

If you ask me, I’d say the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher is going to give your rotation of the best waxed jackets a run for its money this season (and beyond). Shop accordingly, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket Is Back and Better Than Ever This Year

There are certain menswear moments that, each year, tend to roll back around like clockwork, and in the best way possible. When one of your favorite menswear brands recognizes a great thing, like the longevity and instant appeal of one of the best leather jackets, that’s something to be treasured (and shopped, and worn).

I’m talking, in this case, about the 2023 Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, a hotly anticipated restock from the famed California brand, one I’ve looked forward to for years and one that should certainly live up to the hype this year.

The brand knows plenty about dependable gear and long-term craftsmanship, be it a rugged vest for fall or some of your new favorite boots — and hopefully, you’ve experienced that quality firsthand. And in the case of the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, it’s been a dedicated brand staple for a decade now.

In the case of the Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket, that commitment to quality is evident in every last stitch. It’s handmade in San Francisco from rich, immaculately well-crafted drum-dyed 3.5-oz. full-grain steerhide, then finished with PrimaLoft insulation. Yes, that’s right: This jacket truly was designed for wide-open country and blustery days, and the brand wouldn’t have it any other way.

Plus, the handsome Taylor Stitch Moto Jacket also comes in three impossibly cool shades of leather (including the aptly named Whiskey Steerhide, a deep Espresso Steerhide and a sleek black leather option. It’s rugged, it’s road-ready and it’s an heirloom piece in every sense of the word.

The two-way zipper (from the zipper maestros at YKK) should prove durable and long-lasting (befitting the $1,075 price tag, of course), while even the hip pockets are lined in flannel for added warmth. It’s also got a bi-swing, gusseted back, two handy EDC chest pockets and zipper cuffs for easy mobility and a customizable fit.

As I tend to say, if it seems like Taylor Stitch thought of everything with one of the best leather jackets for men, that’s because they absolutely did. The proof is right there in every stitch of this incredibly well-crafted jacket, so do yourself a favor and layer up accordingly — this is one jacket to treasure for years to come.

When the opportunity comes to build off your foundational wardrobe pieces while saving some hard-earned cash in the process, I say that’s an opportunity worth seizing.

The little things elevate the best men’s shirts at Todd Snyder, including the e Todd Snyder Slim Fit Favorite Poplin Shirt.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket

How do you take a certified style classic like one of the best men’s waxed jackets and make it even better? Well, in the case of my friends at Huckberry, that means updating the already famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket with all-new, custom fabric from one of the best waxed jacket makers on the planet.

It might sound too good to be true, but when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket, seeing is believing.

It’s already part of a full rotation of the best waxed jackets for men over at the rugged, ever-versatile retailer, and the Flint and Tinder line is already quite hard to beat. In the case of this jacket, it’s the use of British Millerain Tekwax Evolution 8 weather-resistant waxed canvas that gives it plenty of durability and seasonal performance, especially on brisk fall days.

It can also stand up to chillier weather thanks to the flannel interior lining, but the real difference maker here with the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket is the unique blackwatch plaid pattern. There are also seriously cool color options available in the everyday version of this hunting-inspired jacket, but that plaid pattern is about as rich and stylish as it gets for the season at hand.

Shop waxed jackets at Huckberry

Of course, this all doesn’t come cheap, as the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket will set you back about $400 ($398, to be exact).

But given Huckberry’s know-how at finding partners who make the best stuff on the planet (in this case, the best men’s waxed jackets) is something you can trust in, and something that makes it worth the higher price tag. If I were you, I’d add the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket to your style rotation ASAP.

See Now, Buy Now: Billy Reid Teamed Up With Citizens of Humanity On Your New Favorite Jeans

There’s always a lot going on, it seems, in the menswear world (which you know all too well if you keep up with this blog!). There are plentiful collaborations to sort through on a daily basis, but when one has a narrow focus for a great cause — in this case, sustainably making some of the best men’s jeans on the market — it’s enough to make you sit up, take notice and secure your pair ASAP.

In this instance, the new collaboration in question is one I’ve personally tried out and can certainly vouch for: To keep it simple, Billy Reid and Citizens of Humanity just made your new favorite pair of jeans. Join me as we dive in a bit further, yes?

The idea is fairly simple, and I think you’ll love the results. The all-American designer, best known for making James Bond’s peacoat of choice (along with rugged-yet-luxe takes on the classics) teamed up with one of his personal favorite brands on a stylish denim capsule collection. Not a bad thing to keep in mind as holiday dressing season ramps up, right?

And the idea is about as customized as it gets, too: Billy Reid took on the Adler Jean, a fan favorite at Citizens of Humanity, and worked with the brand to design three exclusive washes, ranging from a dressy, crisp dark blue indigo to a more casual, faded indigo stretch jean.

I’ve tried out the Medium Indigo Jeans and have found them comfortable, made to move and made to go everywhere from a brewery to a Brooklyn rock show. The denim fabric is also soft right out of the box, and the little details are a work of art (seriously!).

And the fit is of the utmost importance here, too. It’s also worth noting that since this is ultra-premium men’s denim we’re talking about here, these are an investment at $278 — but trust me when I say that in my personal experience, they’re more than worth it.

Learn more now at Billy Reid

These lean more towards a slim-straight fit in my experience, with a higher rise, a more full waist and a taper down to the ankle. In short, the Billy Reid x Citizens of Humanity Jeans hit all the right notes, all the while featuring details like a handsome custom leather patch and subtle branding. Folks, your new favorite pair of jeans awaits.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent On This Versatile Everyday Shirt from Marine Layer & Huckberry

As I build out my wardrobe season after season, I tend to look for versatile workhorse pieces that exist in two realms: One, as casual, everyday options (as with my favorite Oxford shirt) and two, picks that can also be dressed up a touch if needed. Those men’s style essentials are of course sold in spades by Huckberry, which is where we kick off today’s Tuesday Steal.

Shop now at Huckberry

And to get more specific, the Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt as seen above qualifies quite nicely as an everyday pick you can style a few different ways. It’s not quite as rugged as one of the best men’s flannel shirts, yet it’s got more texture than a sleek cotton sateen dress shirt that you’d wear to the office.

Yet, add a cotton blazer or one of the best flannel blazers over it, and it’s going to clean up quite nicely indeed. Oh, and the real kicker here? It’s on sale for 20 percent off via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section.

The Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt is also unique in its construction: Whereas styles like the Oxford shirt are made with 100 percent cotton Oxford fabric, this more easygoing buttondown shirt is made from a lightweight blend of cotton and TENCEL.

Learn more now at Huckberry

That means it’s not as hearty as a flannel shirt jacket, so you’ll need to layer up the Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt on especially cold days. But for the price, and for 20 percent off, the crisply cut, stylish and versatile Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt seems like a downright steal. Go forth accordingly, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Filson Flannel Shirt is a True Cold-Weather Must-Have

I’ve said it many a time before and I’ll certainly say it again: Whether it’s a Filson work jacket or a classic Filson shirt, the right menswear goes a long way when the going gets tough (and cold, and snowy) this season. And so here we are, rolling into brisk seasonal weather and looking to shore up your rotation of casual rugged shirts, and once again, the Pacific Northwest heritage masters at Filson are the proper place to go.

Shop rugged fall gear at Filson ASAP

There’s a Filson men’s flannel shirt for every occasion and at every fabric weight, be it the Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt (a personal favorite of mine) or something a bit more burly, like the Filson Flannel Service Shirt shown here.

It’s made to be a daily workhorse of a shirt — after all, Filson builds all of its men’s shirts to a high standard — and it’s crafted from 7 oz. 100 percent cotton for a nice, midweight feel and finish. Of course, the hits keep on rolling from there.

In fact, the famed outdoor brand modeled this particular shirt after old-school military shirts, right down to the simple patch chest pocket and the spread collar sans buttons. It’s a shirt that’s stylish enough to wear with your favorite pair of blue jeans, but particularly rugged enough to wear beneath a Filson waxed jacket alongside Filson work pants when duty calls.

Helpfully, it comes in both an earthy green plaid option and a red-and-blue version that’s a bit lighter in color and more vivid than other variations on that color scheme. The Filson Flannel Service Shirt lives up to its name, with a classic fit that should offer room to layer a thermal shirt or your favorite henley underneath, too.

You should also note the dual rear shoulder pleats, which provide ease of movement when you wear this shirt for rough-and-tumble workwear situations.

Shop men’s shirts now at Filson

It’s got a Filson limited lifetime guarantee of quality, never a bad thing to have in your closet alongside other Filson menswear essentials. And while it’s not the fanciest shirt you’re apt to own, I’d say the Filson Flannel Service Shirt gets the job done in terms of casually rugged style and performance. If all that looks great on paper to you, then consider your next flannel shirt purchase sorted.
