Style Pick of the Week: Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket – A Modern Take on a Rugged Classic

At the best of times, menswear can be downright fun, can it not? I’m talking about those moments when you stumble upon a piece that harkens back to yesteryear, to classically rugged style, yet somehow, that style staple manages to feel fresh and new.

The best trucker jackets for men, when done the right way, call back to the open road decades ago, and when updated by an all-American brand like Line of Trade, yes indeed, they can certainly feel fresh, fun and downright cool-as-heck and utterly pleasing to wear.

Are you with me still? Good, great, grand — the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket is the sort of menswear staple to ring in the season, one made with an exceptional blend of quality, craftsmanship and affordable-as-can-be pricing.

It’s worth a closer look, especially as temperatures continue to plummet across December and beyond. If casually rugged style is the name of the game this season — which it very much is — then you’ve found a winner in this handsome, old-school-inspired trucker jacket. Let’s see what really makes the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket tick, shall we?

Right off the bat, you’ll very much recognize the Americana inspiration coursing through every stitch of Line of Trade menswear, as past Line of Trade reviews on this very site seem to indicate. The brand has a knack for taking the throwback-minded and making it modern in matters of fabric and fit, and the pleasingly rugged yet cozy-and-comfortable Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket fits the bill quite nicely.

As the company (founded by Bespoke Post, and available via the famed retailer as well as its own site) tells it, this hard-working take on a classic “enhances a classic trucker with soft, warm, deep-pile sherpa lining and heavyweight construction built for colder months.”

I certainly couldn’t have said it better myself when it comes to the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket, and in my experience testing this jacket, it’s both exceptionally soft on the inside and yet substantial on the outside without being too bulky or overpowering.

Quilted interior sleeves aid in warmth and a sense of easy-on, easy-off wearability, and I can’t help but appreciate durable finishing touches like metal shank buttons and four easy-access pockets, all in the mold of the timeless trucker jacket.

Especially when paired with a rugged henley or layered over a fisherman sweater, I’d wager supreme warmth is all but guaranteed when it comes to the Line of Trade Montana Corduroy Trucker Jacket — it’s now easier than ever to bundle classic style, rugged performance and seasonal comfort in one stylish package, my friends.

The Friday Find: All-American Maker Is Delivering Some of the Best Beard Balm for Men On the Market

Best men's beard balm.

As I scour the market for prime finds of all sorts, across all categories — from my passions, like flannel shirts and whiskey and benchmade boots, to grooming must-haves and other daily essentials — I’m always impressed by how some companies stay steadfast and double down when it comes to doing things the hard way, the right way. That’s where my good friends at All-American Maker now enter the fray, and I think you’re going to love what you find.

Find out more at All-American Maker

That’s not just hyperbole: As we tend to find out during the aptly named Friday Find series, it’s the often-unheralded brands striving to make a difference that tend to impress me the most, be it a commitment to quality and craft or USA-made production, or a supreme dash of all three.

And when you consider the sometimes-tricky category of beard care for men, doing things with better ingredients in the U.S. of A presents its own share of obstacles — obstacles that the good folks at All-American Maker are tackling head-on.

And while the brand offers a run of handsome candles in rugged tins, plus hand and body balm and excellent solid cologne, it’s the lineup of beard care essentials at AAM that have caught my eye (and the attention of my facial hair!) as of late. More specifically, its All-American Maker Beard Balm is a surefire winner, a simply excellent beard balm available in a range of rich, masculine and yet versatile scents for the well-groomed, well-dressed modern man.

I’ve had the chance to try the lineup of 100 percent USA-sourced and crafted All-American Maker Beard Balm, with some outstanding results just this week (keep an eye out for more on the brand over on my Instagram Stories).

With distinctive and lovely scents like Alpine Juniper & Cypress, plus personal favorites like Tobacco & Bourbon, there’s plenty of care and quality in every 2oz. tin of All-American Maker Beard Balm, with ingredients like beeswax and coconut oil for a soft, nourishing approach to taming your mane.

Each scent is pleasing and lingering, while the beard balm provides softness and shape, a must for any guy with a growing mane. The next time you crave an upgraded beard care experience with plenty of steadfast commitment to USA-made quality and craft, reach for All-American Maker’s Beard Balm — consider this a ringing endorsement.

The Thursday Buy: Upgrade Your Layering Game with this Billy Reid Henley Sweater

Best henleys for men.

When you think of layering up for the season at hand, and particularly layering up when casually rugged style is the name of the game, where does your mind wander? Do you think of the fall and winter style staple that is the timeless shawl cardigan, or perhaps the crisp and classic crewneck or V-neck sweater? Do you think of the lounge-ready hoodie?

Or do you think of a piece that falls somewhere in between those categories — a rugged hybrid selection like the henley sweater, especially the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater, might be precisely what you have in mind, yes?

Shop men’s sweaters and more at Billy Reid

This piece lives up to its name, and then some, falling on the more laidback side of the equation as far as Billy Reid wardrobe essentials are concerned. The Alabama-based designer lends a casually cool, classic air to pieces that are normally more conservative, be it the Oxford shirt or the denim blue jean — and of course, elevated menswear like one of the best men’s blazers or James Bond’s favorite peacoat remain very much part of the designer’s offerings, year after year.

Billy Reid also strays into sportswear territory, like the heritage-inspired Dover Sweatshirt, which uses handsome elbow patches to class up an already super-soft crewneck sweatshirt. And that’s where the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater starts to work its magic in your menswear rotation.

Garment-dyed cotton gives it a lived-in look and feel, the designer says, while ribbed knit finishing at the cuffs and hem delivers a snug fit and a touch of visual appeal — it turns the henley into a thicker sweater, one you can even layer under a more lightweight cotton crewneck tee or, better still, a lightweight cotton henley for a dash of devil-may-care style attitude.

Shop the season’s best now at Billy Reid

Heirloom elbow patches and a timeless band-collar design help the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater achieve the perfect balance between a rugged layering must-have — beneath a waxed field coat might work wonders — and a refined staple you can use to dress down a crisp white dress shirt and tobacco-hued chinos ever so slightly.

Dark horn buttons are an elevated finishing design detail, giving this handsome sweater a wear-with-anything sensibility this winter. When the mood strikes, when you want a departure from the ordinary via your winter layering game, the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater could be just the ticket, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Amberjack Just Introduced a New and Even More Comfortable Take on the Best Men’s Dress Shoes

Amberjack men's dress shoes review.

I’m all about sticking to what you know as the holiday season approaches: That is, staying true to the brands you know, love, respect and wear often, all the while making seasonal wardrobe upgrades that just, well, make sense. At a time of holiday soirees aplenty and seasonal occasions that quite literally call for putting your best foot forward, perhaps a new pair of the best men’s dress shoes is in order, yes?

And what better place to go than New York City upstart Amberjack, a company that’s made waves in recent years for incorporating the comfort of athletic footwear into crisply designed, effortlessly versatile dress shoes? In my experience, Amberjack men’s dress shoes are wildly comfortable and supportive right out of the box, delivering plenty of easy wearability with chinos, corduroy trousers and suiting — and none of the stiff discomfort of more traditional dress shoes.

Shop men’s dress shoes and more at Amberjack

Now, Amberjack has doubled, if not tripled down, so to speak, on that commitment to making some of the most finely crafted yet affordable men’s dress shoes on the market — and they’re doing so now in a silhouette that looks much more traditional on the outside, yet performs just as well underfoot.

If you’re already a fan of Amberjack and its lineup — which runs the gamut from tasteful leather sneakers to sleek leather Chelsea boots and a pair of sturdy yet supple leather chukka boots — you’d do very well, at least in my book, to check out the Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes. They just hit the upstart’s online store on the heels of (pun intended) the very well-received Amberjack Black Friday Sale, another prime time to shop some of the best new dress shoes.

Amberjack dress shoes for men.

But let’s get down to business, from the ground up, as far as your new favorite dress shoes are concerned. While other Amberjack dress shoes deliver a bit more of a sporty hybrid dress shoe look, the Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes are classic in every sense of the word, boasting cap toe stitching and a traditional stacked heel design.

That outsole also uses more classic Blake stitch construction, while the upper is certified sustainable leather in Amberjack’s signature shades, like highly versatile Chestnut and a richly crafted, eye-catching and brogue-detailed Honey variation.

As someone who’s worn everything from Amberjack loafers to its Chelsea boots, its Original dress shoes and the very stylish Amberjack Chukka Boots, it’s a safe bet to say the Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes should deliver outstanding comfort and exceptional wearability right out of the box — that’s no joke, my friends.

Shop Amberjack dress shoes ASAP

The Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes also feature a moisture-wicking Lyrca lining, similar to athletic footwear, for all-day comfort on your feet — from the trade show floor to meetings to post-work drinks, my friends.

The StealthFlex outsole, a proprietary lightweight design, delivers the kind of grip and support you need for yours on end, at least in my experience. And with their clean silhouette and natural full-grain leather upper, I’d wager you’ll get plenty of wear — and then some — from the handsome Amberjack Regent Dress Shoes this holiday season (and well beyond). Lace ’em up and let me know what you think, folks.

The Tuesday Steal: Shinola Is Offering Savings of At Least 20 Percent On the Best Watches and Accessories for Men

Shinola men's watch review.

If you’ve been keeping up with this Brooklyn style blog, as I’ve been saying for several weeks now, you know that it’s prime time for scoring savings on tried-and-true favorites — as well as top-notch gear selections you might not normally find at a discount.

And so it goes when it comes to shopping for one of the best watches for men: A wristwatch these days is a purposeful, fashionable and stylish investment, even if you’re not dropping thousands on a Rolex or an Omega (or even a pre-owned luxury watch). That’s where Shinola, with its blend of Art Deco inspiration and modern performance, makes its case to join your watch rotation, with plentiful options below $1,000 and even $750 these days.

There are options aplenty that lean more towards the entry-level market, and I’d put Detroit-based Shinola firmly in that category — a step up from even the most premium Timex models (for instance) and nicely balanced between accessible, well-made and tastefully refined. I’m also a fan of the excellent Shinola Hotel and the company’s home goods offerings, but that’s neither here nor there at the moment, ehh?

Find out more now at Shinola

As is so often the case with Shinola men’s watches (and other producers), there’s a debate between quartz and automatic/mechanical watches (Shinola makes both!).

Take your pick as to whether you prefer a durable battery or something with more craft, because, again, Shinola does both (and has built out its brand focus over the years into more premium assembled watches). You can also shop handsome leather goods, stylish travel bags and even accessories like candles and matches at Shinola — talk about fun for the whole family, yes?

We’ll leave the quartz-versus-automatic debate to watch forums, but for now, let’s dial in (pun intended!) on the task at hand: Shinola is offering at least 20 percent off your purchase of stylish watches and men’s accessories sitewide, but buyer beware: That promo only runs through the end of the day today!

To get more specific: You can save $100 when you spend $500 at Shinola, on up to savings of $500 on your purchase of $2,000. For a watchmaker that doesn’t run sales all that frequently, it’s worth checking out and stocking up ahead of the holidays — on gifts for the watch lover, gifts for the lover of fine leather goods, and even the person on your list who loves a well-made blanket or a richly crafted candle. At Shinola, the possibilities are limitless (or, nearly limitless) and well beyond the world of watches, but these savings only run through today. Shop accordingly, my friends — cheers!

And there might not be a retailer doing it better at the moment — in terms of the type of and number of deals, and the categories covered, and the style points included — than our good friends at Huckberry.

The do-it-all-retailer has a penchant for rugged outdoor gear, stylish stretch denim, everyday carry accessories and oh-so-much-more, including curating a tasteful and very sharp lineup of Astorflex men’s shoes. Toss in the fact that Astorflex shoes are on sale for as much as 50 percent off during Huckberry’s Cyber Monday Sale, and you’ve got a certified fashion winner in the works.

Shop the best shoes and gear for men ASAP at Huckberry

The Italian-based company runs its own family-owned factories to make some of the finest chukka boots, Chelsea boots, leather loafers and tasteful slides on the market, each done up with richly crafted leathers, sustainably aged uppers, natural rubber or leather outsoles, and exceptional quality in every stitch. In my experience, it’s remarkable stuff in matters of comfort, construction and quality — but let’s get down to the real business at hand, shall we?

And that business ties back directly to the standout Astorflex men’s shoes sale we mentioned earlier — it’s part of a slew of deals ongoing at Huckberry, but these savings won’t last for long (seriously — today is the last full day!).

There’s a massive variety within the Astorflex lineup, from the tailored yet versatile Astorflex Redflex Derby — as wearable with rolled blue jeans as they are with tobacco-hued chinos — to the rugged yet somewhat sleek Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots (another Astorflex staple, at least in my experience).

The Sunday Sale: Filson’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale Offers Up Rare Discounts on the Best Outdoor Gear for Men

Filson menswear 2025 review.

There are times when you’re hard-pressed to find some rare, exclusive savings on one of the best heritage menswear brands on the market. As it turns out, ongoing Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals aren’t quite one of those times — it seems plenty of the best online menswear brands, even companies that don’t normally offer up all that many discounts — are getting in on the fun in a big way.

At least, it’s fun if you love the best rugged gear for men, which if you happen to be reading this blog, well, I assume you do! And that brings us to the famed Pacific Northwest gear purveyors at Filson, long one of my favorite brands and a reliable stalwart as far as the best men’s adventure supplies and apparel is concerned.

Find out more now at Filson

Of course, it was with great interest that I caught wind of a hidden gem, so to speak, in a crowded market for top Black Friday sales and deals: The Filson Black Friday Sale delivers 25% off more than 100 products from the famed style and apparel brand, each as built to go far afield as the next.

It’s truly a sight for sore eyes (or at the very least, a sight for your wallet), as a host of tried-and-true Filson favorites are delivering nothing but the utmost in dependable performance and heritage-worthy great looks.

That’s certainly not hyperbole if you ask me: Peruse the wares on sale for a very limited time at the Filson Black Friday Sale,and be amazed at what you’ll find. The iconic Filson Tin Cloth Lined Short Cruiser Jacket is a brand flagship that gets the proverbial red-pen discount, while the Filson Rugged Twill Duffle Bag lives up to its hard-wearing name.

On the apparel front, the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt is a legend in the category, with rich warmth and plenty of craft in every stitch. That Filson mantra (“unfailing goods since 1897,” lest we forget), definitely holds true even as gear goes on sale (and a heck of a sale, at that!) through discounts only available for a few more days via the Filson Black Friday Sale.

When a heritage sale comes a-knockin’ featuring a brand that’s hard to find at a discount, you best pay attention — and keep your credit card at the ready, of course. Cheers to holiday deals, my friends.

Folks, meet the Flint and Tinder Cone Mills Denim Trucker, which repurposes Huckberry’s knack for perfecting the trucker jacket silhouette, all the while using rare and durable, utterly classic Cone Mills denim hailing from North Carolina.

The Flint and Tinder Cone Mills Denim Trucker is one heck of a find, made in America from sturdy 12.75oz. rigid Cone denim secured from the legendary American denim producers at Cone Mills.
