The Thursday Buy: Buck Mason’s Flannel Field Jacket Is Your New Favorite Fall Coat

If there’s one thing I think a guy can never quite have too many of when it comes to fall style essentials, it’d be a selection of the best men’s jackets for fall. And it’s always helpful to have a go-to men’s style brand when shopping for additional picks to add to your collection of the best jackets for men — take a brand like Buck Mason, for instance.

I’m willing to bet you know the brand for its rugged field jackets and its selection of the best men’s henleys, and you can add another standout style staple to that list, too. It’s the Buck Mason Plaid Blanket Flannel Field Jacket, a seriously cool hybrid jacket that blurs the lines between rugged throwback style and modern good looks. Helpfully, this rugged flannel shirt jacket is modeled after vintage military shirt jackets, with the specs and serious warmth to match.

For good measure, the Buck Mason Plaid Blanket Flannel Field Jacket comes in three classic colorways, including two eye-catching plaid options and a deep Heather Olive option, but it’s got more than just style points going for it. Your new favorite shirt jacket also boasts heavyweight brushed blanket flannel fabric, the kind you can easily layer over a Buck Mason henley, for instance.

The Buck Mason Plaid Blanket Flannel Field Jacket gets the little details correct, too – those details include distinctively shaped, mitered patch pockets and sturdy oversized buttons. If you want a shirt jacket with room to layer and plenty of warmth built right in — along with a healthy dose of perfectly rugged, timeless style — the Buck Mason Plaid Blanket Flannel Field Jacket is the new go-to layer you need right now.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt is a Fall Style Classic

Can you feel it in the air? Perhaps a brisk breeze, a touch of a chill and the need to once again layer up with, say, the best fall style essentials from one of your favorite brands? Yes indeed, the time is well and truly upon us, and that’s where one of my longtime favorite menswear companies, Taylor Stitch, boldly enters the fray.

I’m willing to bet you’ve been shopping the brand as frequently as I have lately, be it one of the best fall cardigans or one of the best shirt jackets for men, and today’s blog entry follows in the same vein with the much-loved Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt.

You might say the longtime fan favorite — it’s been in the Taylor Stitch menswear rotation since the brand’s early days — is about as essential as it gets as far as the best fall men’s style picks are concerned. How so? Well, the shirt sits somewhere between a classic flannel, a lightweight shirt and a “shacket,” with the layering versatility and style potential of each of those pieces. You see, the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt is made from a soft, layering-friendly but not overly heavy 9oz. organic cotton chamois, and things get better from there.

I’ve worn various iterations of the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt over the years, and it functions perfectly as a top-most layer over a Taylor Stitch henley or a soft merino T-shirt. As I said though, it does indeed get better, and that’s because you can also layer the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt beneath one of the best men’s fall jackets quite comfortably as the temperature drops down into the 30s and 40s (yes, I went there!).

The Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt also boasts two helpful front-button chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials, and the fit is made to be worn untucked. This gives the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt plenty of rugged styling versatility this season, given that it looks quite cool – especially in a rich Timber Shadow Plaid — alongside everything from Taylor Stitch blue jeans to the company’s expertly cut tan chinos.

It’s not every day that you come across a pick as perfectly suited to fall and winter layering as the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt, so I’d say you need to shop this one early and often right now.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket – Fall’s Coolest New Jacket

Isn’t it a thing of wonder when one of your favorite brands gives you plenty of options when it comes to the best fall jackets for men, for instance? That’s certainly the case with the good folks at Flint and Tinder, the brainchild behind one of the best online menswear shops — that’s Huckberry, of course. The company specializes in rugged, versatile, utterly timeless gear, and for my money’s worth, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket is just the latest standout style move from the much-loved in-house brand.

Of course, I’m willing to bet you know Flint and Tinder through its most famous product – – that’d be the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket, what with its durable construction and hard-wearing design. Of course, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket is a star in its own right, with detailing and a build that makes it one of the best men’s jackets for fall (quite handily, at that). In fact, take it from me: I’ve had the chance to review this Huckberry jacket, and can vouch for its quality, style and sturdy durability.

This expertly cut, perfectly rugged piece of outerwear has the potential to become your new favorite fall jacket, what with its hunting coat-inspired design and a plethora of touches that make it insanely cool and insanely comfortable. For starters, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket offers more coverage than the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket, which is useful when inclement weather hits.

This sturdy fall jacket is crafted from British Millerain waxed canvas that’s been treated for additional weather resistance, and the flannel lining of the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket is a brilliant addition to a casually rugged jacket that’s ready for just about anything.

It even features a rear game pocket, in addition to front hip button pockets and an interior chest pocket, all the better to secure your everyday carry essentials. For good measure, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket comes in a range of pleasantly fall-like colors, so you can style it with plenty of other Flint and Tinder essentials. When your fall wardrobe requires a rugged change of pace, you know just the brand to shop right now.

The Friday Read: The Killers in New York City and the Best Fall Menswear

Thanks for joining me here at The Style Guide for another long-awaited (ha!) edition of the Friday Read. I’m keeping things brief today — after all, I’ve had a busy week working on stories for sites like StyleCaster and Maxim — and I’m also busy on another front. Notably, I’ll once again be seeing one of my all-time favorite bands, legendary Las Vegas rockers The Killers! The very music-centric weekend kicks off for me this evening in New York City (and I just saw the band play in Orlando with my family!) — suffice to say, I positively can’t wait.

I’m also thinking, of course, of my family down in southwest Florida (if you follow me on Instagram, you’re very familiar with my travels down there). In my neck of the woods, all is safe and well, if harrowing and intense for a time there. Hopefully, this blog and my musings can perhaps bring you a bit of joy (who doesn’t love menswear, after all!) and a brief respite from the news out there — and on that note, I say thank you for reading!

I’ll leave you with one fall selection when it comes to the best fall menswear: On this very blog, I wrote about one of the best henleys for men yesterday from Billy Reid, an ideal seasonal style move. OK, that’s all I’ve got today. Stay stylish, stay safe, keep your loved ones close to you and in your thoughts. Onward!

The Thursday Buy: This Billy Reid Cotton Henley is One of the Best Casual Shirts for Fall

Now that we’re — very nearly — into October, hopefully, you’ve got a rotation of some of the best fall style essentials all sorted out. But there’s always room for more when shopping the right way, agreed? That’s where Alabama-based menswear designer Billy Reid enters the equation. The designer is a personal favorite of your Brooklyn style writer for his modern approach to the classics, blending rugged and refined the right way — as with the Billy Reid Cotton Lous Henley, easily one of the best henleys for men on the market this fall.

The Billy Reid Sueded Cotton Louis Henley is a perfect example of what the award-winning designer does best. That approach? Using premium materials to take a tried-and-true classic like one of the best men’s henleys and ramping things up a notch in terms of quality. Billy Reid did the same thing with one of the best men’s Western shirts this season, to be sure, and the Billy Reid Louis Henley does that just as well.

Crucially, this stylish henley for men is made in Peru from 100 percent cotton, for the sort of layering potential that works underneath a classic Billy Reid shirt — or else a flannel shirt jacket or even one of the best men’s waxed jackets. The four-button placket on your new favorite henley is also a cool design touch that gives this shirt a bit more of a refined feel — you could certainly wear it with one of the best fall blazers, too.

The rest of the time though, this rugged men’s henley is essential, well-designed, very well-made and certainly worth the higher price tag (it retails for $128 at Billy Reid). Better still is the fact that one of the best henleys for men comes in a wide variety of wear-with-anything colors. You’ve just found your new favorite casual shirt for fall and winter, my friends.
