Buck Mason's Chore Coat Is Back in Stock for Fall - Airows

When it’s time to stock up on the best menswear for early fall, I think I know where you should go. Perhaps you know, too. I’m talking, of course, about Buck Mason, long a favorite of the blog and a reliable standby for the best fall style essentials on the market. They also do a standout job delivering transitional style staples, from a rugged twill shirt to an indigo henley, but it’s during “shoulder season” (the time of year when you need an extra layer on your shoulders, naturally) that they really excel. These are all-American style staples done right, consistently. Here are some of my Buck Mason must-haves this week. Happy shopping!

The Sunday Sale: Get Some of the Best Boots Under $300 from HELM

What is right now if not an outstanding time to start shopping some of the best boots for fall from HELM, right? It seems like just yesterday, we were talking about the importance of scoring some of the best boots for early spring. But like clockwork, it’s now just about time to lace up some highly dependable, utterly stylish boots for fall — and it doesn’t hurt that today’s boots in question are more than 10 percent off at HELM Boots (they should drop down to under $260, in fact).. The Austin-based bootmaker gets so many of the details right, including premium materials and exceptional production, and that makes the HELM Hollis Boots (a favorite of mine over the years) an incredible on-sale pickup as you search for the best men’s boots for fall — and beyond.

The Coolest Men’s Boots for Fall

HELM Boots delivers rugged, durable, handsome leather boots at unstoppable prices

HELM prides itself on affordability, not to mention high-class design and durability to begin with (they already make some of the best boots under $300, as it were). And now, staple items like the HELM Hollis Boots get an even deeper discount. Every penny counts these days, especially if you want to build a well-rounded and reliable boot collection, so start putting those savings towards your next big fall boots purchase. Briefly, what do you get with the HELM Hollis Boots? Quite a bit of bang for your buck, from the rich Dark Natural leather to the rubber mini-lug outsole for added fall traction. Antique Nickel eyelets dial in that sense of well-made durability, and the build means they’re suitable to wear with your favorite blue jeans or tailored chinos in equal measure. We’re going to wrap this one up here, because rugged boots on sale only means one thing: There’s no time to waste in adding ’em to your rotation.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Apres Pants – The Best Fall Weekend Pants for Men

Taylor Stitch Apres Pants | The Coolector

Still hunting for comfortable weekend pants for men? The search for what you might call the best pants for men, or rather, the best fall weekend pants for men, is a tricky one, especially in these times. You need a pair of men’s pants that are casual enough to kick back on the couch with a coffee in hand and records on, yet you also need a pair with enough polish to step outside your house. Enter the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants, a perfect happy medium between the two, which just so happen to be here well in advance of fall weather in earnest. I’m particularly a fan of the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants in Olive Waffle, which toe the line between joggers and chinos in terms of style and comfort. They’re not quite office-ready, but if you do happen to work in a casual office, I’d say you can rock ’em there, too. But the rest of the time? Yes indeed, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants really just might be the best fall weekend pants for men, and that’s not just hyperbole.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a brand like Taylor Stitch, based out of San Francisco and a longtime favorite of the blog, is able to deliver on some of the best pants for men, period. After all, the brand was founded on perfecting a buttondown shirt, but they’ve long since expanded into stylish men’s chinos, denim and now, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants. It all starts with the fabric and build of these pants, which also represents that hard-to-find happy medium for comfort and style.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants

The Après Pant in Indigo Waffle - Classic Men's Clothing…

It’s a waffle weave 8.5oz. organic cotton fabric that helps the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants feel so comfortable yet polished: They’re lighter than the brand’s chinos and denim, but not too breezy or lightweight. Slash front pockets keep these more streamlined, as do the back button patch pockets, not unlike ones you’d find on Taylor Stitch pants. They’re tapered to an elastic cuff, hence the hybrid look and feel, so these would wear especially well with high-top or low-top sneakers, but not necessarily leather boots.

Rock the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants all fall

Cozy, casual comfort is within reach

The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants also feature a crucial and comfortable elastic waist, but they’re still cool and crisp enough to wear with everything from a Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee to a Taylor Stitch chambray shirt (seriously). They’re perhaps best worn on fall days at home or road trips, blending mobility and style all along the way. Take your pick from five versatile colors, including Indigo and Charcoal, then be prepared to work them into your fall wardrobe even more often than you thought possible. Yes indeed, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are going to quickly become your new go-to fall pants.

The Thursday Buy: Layer Up with Faherty Brand’s Quilted Fleece CPO for Fall

We’re already barreling through September, believe it or not, and that’s why you should have your sights set on the best new fall menswear from, among other retailers, Faherty Brand. Of course, any menswear wardrobe should be stocked with the best seasonal style essentials, but there are just a few companies in particular that really seem to get the spirit of the best fall menswear in particular. After all, what could be more seasonally friendly than layering up with the rugged-yet-soft, extremely comfortable Faherty Brand Epic Quilted Fleece CPO? If that name sounds like a handful, well, rest assured that Faherty Brand lives up to the promise of “epic” quality in crafting one of the best shirt jackets for men, and that’s really saying something.

I’ve become a fan of Faherty over the years through the brand’s use of fine, premium materials and extremely high-quality construction, something that echoes across the board whether you’re in the market for a short-sleeve henley in the hot months or something like the perfect flannel shirt for cold weather. In that sense, the Faherty Brand Epic Quilted Fleece CPO is just about everything you could ask for in a rugged fall layer, starting with the military-focused origins of the style (so modeled after the type of versatile and durable jackets worn by Chief Petty Officers).

SHOP: The Faherty Brand Epic Quilted Fleece CPO

Naturally, Faherty brings things forward into the 21st century with the Faherty Brand Epic Quilted Fleece CPO using a cotton-polyester blend, well-made quilted construction and contrasting nylon fabric for some visual interest when layered up this season. The Faherty Brand Epic Quilted Fleece CPO is especially sharp in the navy colorway shown here, which means you can wear it over shades of grey (as in, a rugged long-sleeve henley) or even a vibrant plaid shirt. Antique brass snaps offer up another bit of durability as far as one of the best men’s shirt jackets is concerned, and you get the true “shirt-jacket” feel through waist welt pockets.

Faherty Brand delivers yet again

To me, the Faherty Brand Epic Quilted Fleece CPO is best worn on casual, cool fall mornings, subbed in as a blazer substitute for an end-of-week meeting or thrown on as you pack up the car for a safe fall road trip. It works more than serviceably in each of those situations, providing warmth, style and rugged appeal. Of course, you’re shelling out just a bit more for the Faherty Brand Epic Quilted Fleece CPO than your average layer from a fast-fashion brand (it retails for $198 at Fahery Brand), but think of it like style you can count on and trust, all the while. Throw in the fact that you can select from multiple color options, and Faherty Brand has every base covered with this reliable, all-new fall layer.

See Now, Buy Now: Mack Weldon’s Stormchaser Jacket is the Best Fall Travel Jacket

The good folks at Mack Weldon continually prove why the company is one of the best menswear brands of the moment, from ease of service to high-quality products designed to move you from season to season. That’s the case whether they’re producing one of the best fall jackets for men — the subject of today’s post — or whether the focus happens to be, say, the best T-shirt for spring or the ideal pants to wear back to the office. There’s lots to love with Mack Weldon, and when you check out the Mack Weldon Stormchaser Jacket to carry you into and through blustery early fall days, you’ll certainly realize why they might just be your new favorite men’s style brand. That’s high praise, but I’d guarantee there’s something for everyone at Mack Weldon, assuredly including one of the best jackets for men.

It’s the brand’s first rain jacket, and although that might seem like something you more closely associate with spring, it’s all the better to keep handy as fall weather rolls through town, especially with outdoor road trips top of mind. The Mack Weldon Stormchaser Jacket is built to exacting standards and manages to clock in at below $200, impressive when you consider the sort of functionality you’re getting here. It features a fully seam-sealed interior, keeping you dry while maintaining the composed exterior of a lightweight rain jacket. Bonded pockets also protect your everyday carry essentials, another must-have for fall adventures.

SHOP: The Mack Weldon Stormchaser Jacket

Crucially, the super-functional and sleek Mack Weldon Stormchaser Jacket is as stylish as it is functional, boasting a sleek design and a sleek matte finish in two highly wearable colors. It’s the perfect sort of jacket to add to any wardrobe of existing Mack Weldon style staples, including the brand’s Tech Chinos and perhaps a breathable Oxford shirt. You can also wear it accordingly atop a sweater from Mack Weldon, all the better to really drive home versatile, go-anywhere style.

Mack Weldon has you covered

It’s going to keep you dry on the road and at home, and it helps that the built-in adjustable hood is also rather sleek, not overly bulky. It seems like, as with most Mack Weldon gear picks, the brand really has thought of every little detail, right down to the Velcro cuffs on the Mack Weldon Stormchaser Jacket. It’s also worth noting once again that the sub-$200 price works well for most any budget, especially if you’re OK with buying a rain jacket you can layer and wear in multiple seasons (which you certainly should be!). The Mack Weldon Stormchaser Jacket is at once underrated and essential, and it belongs on your back heading into fall.

#OOTD: How to Wear an Overshirt For Fall

It’s been a busy few weeks when it comes to fall style essentials and surveying the seasonal landscape here at The Style Guide. You might have even noticed a few posts in our new Tuesday Steal series replacing the traditional Tuesday #OOTD slot. But we’re back at it today with a new ensemble, and not a moment too soon for early fall. Let’s get to business. How to wear an overshirt for fall really does start with one of the best men’s overshirts, and the fact that it’s coming at you by way of Flint and Tinder is absolutely a huge bonus. It’s also accented by another stone-cold style essential, the kind of layer you won’t want to leave home without, and that’s one of the best men’s henleys for fall.

Today’s #OOTD shows you how to wear it

Now is the time to really let the building blocks of your seasonal wardrobe shine, and that’s where today’s #OOTD comes in. Gone are the days (hopefully) of sweating it out this summer and trying to figure out, say, how to wear chinos in the heat. No sir, fall brings with it some of the best times of the year for layering and for rugged adventure (even if said adventure simply involves a brewery tour and some cold, fresh beer). And of course, that means this look is filled with rich seasonal colors (think faded brown, tan and olive). But it all comes down to the gear itself. I think that you’ll quickly find the Flint and Tinder CPO Shirt Jacket delivers on everything you need in a stylish shirt jacket in this transitional time of year, from the lightweight construction to the durable and functional styling potential. If you’ve been stowing away your “shacket” through the hot summer months, it’s time to let it back out into the open, just in time for the best season in menswear. Let’s get back in the saddle with today’s #OOTD, shall we?

  • The Overshirt: Flint and Tinder CPO Shirt Jacket, $148 — This versatile overshirt, one of the best overshirts for men, is a study in durability and wear-anywhere style potential. It’s made with a blend of cotton and spandex for comfort and stretch in spades.
  • The Henley: Buck Mason Pima Curved Hem Henley, $55 — This won’t be the last time we talk about one of the best men’s henleys for fall. This one is just lightweight enough to layer up comfortably on breezy fall days.
  • The Rugged Fall Pants: Filson Dry Tin 5-Pocket Pants, $135 — You can wear these rugged work pants just about anywhere, from the trail to a distillery or at home around a fire pit. Filson has long delivered the goods, and they continue to do so here.
  • The Boots: Rhodes Footwear Bozeman Boots, $225 — Complete with a well-built moc toe, rich leather and a comfortable-yet-durable wedge sole, these classic moc toe boots are ready for anything this fall.
  • The Watch: Shinola Runwell Automatic Watch, $1,095 — What’s not to love about this handsome, heritage-worthy leather watch? It’s more suited for weekend outings than rough-and-tumble wear, but you’ll be able to get plenty of use out of it this season.
  • The Hat: Howler Brothers Camp Howler Snapback, $35 — A classic ballcap is the only way to top off this outfit, especially one with a distinctive, retro logo. Throw it on at a moment’s notice to get out the door and hit the road.
  • The Wallet: Satchel & Page Slim Bifold, $70 — Could your everyday carry use a refresh? This elegant, hard-wearing leather wallet for men is just what the doctor ordered. It’ll break in beautifully with everyday use this season.
  • The Everyday Carry: Satchel & Page Slim Mailbag, $475 — No matter what you’ve got to haul (your headphones and a book or laptop, perhaps?), this remarkably stylish leather messenger bag is going to serve you well for years to come.

If you ask me, I’d say this #OOTD does just about everything you could ask of it this season. It’s got versatility and multiple styling options available by way of the two top layers, like a stylish shirt jacket and one of the best men’s henleys for fall. You can wear the henley on its own and keep the shirt jacket handy in your extremely cool, stylish leather messenger bag, for example. And it’s all helped along by the perfect blend of form and function via Filson’s rugged work pants, which can be worn to do actual work as easily as they can be worn to grab fall weekend beers. As I always say, no fall ensemble is complete without the right pair of boots, like the classic moc toe boots shown above from my friends at Huckberry. It doesn’t get any better than boots that can be broken in over time, and the same can be said for your other EDC essentials, like your newfound, supremely stylish leather wallet for men, courtesy of Satchel & Page. Invest in the best and reap the rewards this fall. I’m also of the opinion that you’ve got to keep your accessories on point, and that means finishing this outfit off with the right combination of high and low: An investment-level leather watch, not to mention an eye-catching ballcap. You’re ready for anything between those two fan favorites. Where will this #OOTD take you? Be sure to let me know in the comments below. Stay stylish this fall!

Think of it like the perfect sweater to wear with jeans, especially back to a more casual office or out on an early fall weekend stroll. The fact that it layers up nicely over a Mott and Bow T-shirt or with a stylish, on-sale Mott and Bow buttondown shirt is also an added bonus, but it only gets better from there. Coming from a company that started out by only focusing on the best jeans for men, that’s not bad utility and style to have in your closet – not bad at all. And another bonus? First-time customers can get 10 percent off at Mott and Bow with the code beau10. Let’s keep on scrolling through the list of why that’s an outstanding idea, shall we?

SHOP: The Mott and Bow Light Merino Wool Crew

Fittingly, it’s the fabric that makes the Mott and Bow Light Merino Wool Crew such a solid seasonal buy (and certainly, one of the best sweaters for early fall). Merino wool is nice and lightweight to begin with, filled with moisture-wicking, breathable and anti-microbial properties. The weave here is definitely thicker than your standard merino wool T-shirt, but layering the Mott and Bow Light Merino Wool Crew should prove a snap. You can even throw a rugged waxed trucker jacket over top of it, without risking getting too hot (even on a breezy, cloudy fall day). Your new favorite sweater is also as wearable as it gets, either at the office atop an Oxford shirt or worn over a soft cotton T-shirt for a weekend coffee outing.

The crewneck design makes it easier to layer over a tee than a V-neck sweater, but you can also throw on the Mott and Bow Light Merino Wool Crew atop a Mott and Bow denim shirt with ease. And in a color like Cobalt Blue, it goes with pretty much anything and everything in your wardrobe (certainly, that list also includes Mott and Bow jeans and Mott and Bow chinos). Whatever you expect out of a great fall sweater, the Mott and Bow Light Merino Wool Crew can deliver everything you need, be it at your 9-to-5 or your favorite brewery. Layer up accordingly, folks.
