The Friday Read: The Best New Polo for Summer, Father’s Day Gifts & A Deal on Leather Jackets

Who else is looking forward to the weekend, perhaps one packed with time on the water wearing a stylish new polo? While the closest I’ll get to the water is likely the boardwalk at Coney Island (and Coney Island Brewing!), I know what I’ll be wearing for the occasion: One of the best performance polos for men from Rhoback, a brand that does a little bit of everything when it comes to making stylish gear for active guys on the go. They specialize in everything from golf polos to quarter-zips (known as Rhoback Q-Zips) to sweatshirts and tees, and they do it all using stretch fabrics that wick away moisture and look great in the process. If I were you, I’d head to Rhoback to buy your new favorite polo (and more!) for summer. Plus, you can get 10 percent off your first purchase at Rhoback today. Get right to it, folks.

Consider that the first recommendation to lead off your weekend, with more on the way in the rest of today’s Friday Read. If you’re searching for some weekend listening, I have another pick for you (with a side of style and craft beer included, of course). If you’re not already familiar, I write a twice-weekly music-menswear-craft beer newsletter called The Style Guide In Brief, highlighting my favorite tracks of the week, shopping deals and usually, a discount on craft beer (or coffee, or whiskey) for daily sipping. Speaking of that discount: It’s the code BEAU10 for 10 percent off your order at Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing. It’s a great time! You should also be sure to check out my ongoing work at Maxim, which I frequently cap off with a brewery visit.

Of course, I’ll be doing a little writing myself this weekend, but that’ll be tempered by my visit to Coney Island — will I see you there? Let me know in the comments, but for now, let’s get into the best Father’s Day gifts and more below today.

On the hunt for one of the best Father’s Day gifts this year, but looking for something a little more unique? Do I have a deal for you, my friends: Give Dad the gift of a great scent in his home office or the family den with Outdoor Fellow, makers of some of the best candles for men (and anyone, really!). Here’s the scoop: Give him a candle subscription for just $89.95 a month for three months to get a new candle each month (longer subscriptions are also available). Top scents include Woods and Coastal Forest — talk about a cool Father’s Day gift this year, ehh?

Men's Jackets & Outerwear - The Jacket Maker

Let’s talk about another one of the best gifts for Dad, shall we? I don’t see why not. If Dad needs a new or revamped leather jacket, there’s one place to go, and that’s Angel Jackets. The maker of some of the most affordable leather jackets is running its Father’s Day sale. You can take $20 off by applying the code AJ20. That’s a mighty nice way to ensure that Dad looks great all year round, and at a great price.
Here’s another fun one, and a potential great Father’s Day gift for the stylish dad. Over at Maxim, I wrote about the stellar new Todd Snyder x Moscot sunglasses collaboration, a partnership Snyder undertook to celebrate 10 years in business. He revamped one of his favorite sunglasses styles for the occasion, and the results are very stylish indeed. Happy reading — and shopping!

We’re going to wrap things up today in fine form — head here to this blog post to read all about the best sneakers you can buy for under $60 this very moment at UNCRATE. I’m all about a stellar deal for summer, and you can’t top a standout price on some of the best sneakers for men. Once again, happy shopping and enjoy the weekend out there!

The Thursday Buy: The Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is the Best Suit for Summer

Before you know it, it’ll be time to hit the road (hopefully, with a stylish leather bag packed up) for your first summer wedding, that all-important celebration that marks a return to normalcy this year. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, though: You need one of the best summer suits for the occasion, and that’s where the Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket ($150) and Buck Mason Carry-On Pants ($125) come into play. Think of it like one of the best suits for men, the kind you would have worn pre-pandemic, but with some crucial differences that make it a stylish casual suit all the same. It’s also fitting that the all-American style purveyors at Buck Mason make this suit, because they also excel at complementary casual menswear essentials, from the best denim shirt to the best T-shirts for men.

The Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is, after all, designed to ease you back into wearing tailoring once more, built with super-lightweight, soft cotton for a laidback fit and feel. In short, the Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is the best suit for a summer wedding in these more casual times. Don’t believe me? Keep scrolling, and just know that I’ve been putting my own Buck Mason summer suit to the test in the heat of Brooklyn as of late (thank you to the brand for sending!).

SHOP: The Buck Mason Carry-On Suit

The specs on the Buck Mason Carry-On Suit plainly put it squarely at the top of the heap as far as casual summer suits are concerned. For starters, both the Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket and Buck Mason Carry-On Pants are made from a perfect, summer-weight stretch cotton, much closer to shirting fabric than your typical suit. Both the jacket and pants, in that regard, are also unlined, meaning the suit will move with you and won’t trap excess heat during that outdoor summer wedding reception. The Buck Mason Carry-On Pants are cut with a straight, tapered fit, one that leaves some room up top and tapers slightly below the knee (compare ’em to the fit of the Buck Mason Standard Jeans).

And the Buck Mason Carry-On Jacket is as casual and cool as can be, made from that same lightweight fabric and featuring patch pockets for a relaxed-yet-tailored blend. It’s made with three buttons, but the jackets rolls to show two (they call this “three-roll-two” in the biz. The point is, it’s one of the best summer blazers in its own right (especially in the khaki-like Sandstone color), whether worn atop a tee or with a crisp Buck Mason Oxford shirt.

The combo also delivers plenty of crucial, lightweight bang for your buck. Heck, $275 is a great price for both items when you consider that you can mix and match both pieces with other Buck Mason staples, including pairing the jacket with a Buck Mason tee and jeans, or teaming the Buck Mason Carry-On Pants with a Buck Mason buttondown shirt. If you ask me, the Buck Mason Carry-On Suit is the best suit to wear this summer, no matter where the season takes you. Good luck out there, folks.

That is, the time to hit the road again in style with one of the best weekender bags for men will soon be upon us, and if you’ve been reading the blog, I hope you’re prepared for what lies ahead. I mean that in the best way possible — hitting the road again, even in a car or via a quick train (or bus) trip should be enjoyable and just plain fun. It’s made all the better by the most crucial ingredient of all as far as your summer travel gear is concerned:

The Satchel & Page Gladstone Weekender is one of the best weekender bags on the market, ready for quick getaways and rugged adventures alike. If you’ve kept up with the blog, you also recognize Satchel & Page from a weekend style guide or two, but it’s always worth revisiting a brand making heirloom-quality leather goods of all types, including this refined leather weekender bag. Why go with a bag like this one instead of, say your tried-and-true athletic logo weekender? The proof is in the pudding, my friends, and that means this bag has plenty more style points and even more functionality than the bag you’ve been lugging to the gym — it’s made specifically for weekend getaways, season after season. It gets even better when it comes to your new favorite weekender bag, though.

SHOP: The Satchel & Page Gladstone Weekender

The list of positives about the excellent Satchel & Page Gladstone Weekender goes on and on, and on. It features a lifetime warranty, for starters — the sturdy brass frame won’t give out or buckle under pressure, either. It’s also made with handsome Italian, vegetable-tanned leather, making it one of the best leather weekender bags you can possibly buy right now. Tobacco suede lining ensures your valuable gear won’t get dinged up or scuffed, and brass hardware drives home the rugged durability of this handsome leather weekender bag.

Think of it like an accessory that’s as stylish as your road trip #OOTD, and then some. Two interior pouch pockets and one zipper pocket offer crucial space for your everyday carry essentials. The rugged Satchel & Page Gladstone Weekender is, without a doubt, the kind of bag you can pack up to hit the road at a moment’s notice. And if you need to leave from the office for your weekend getaway, it helps that this bag is quite stylish, unlike a plain old gym bag. It’s an investment for the price ($625 at Satchel & Page), but it’s got dependability and serious style going for it — unlike any other weekender bag on the market. Safe travels, folks.

#OOTD: The Best Way to Wear Shorts for Men This Summer

It’s time to let your legs get some sun, folks, courtesy of the best shorts for men this season. Past #OOTD entries have gone a bit more rugged, but no less casual and cool, like how to wear chukka boots this summer. Others have even shown you how to wear lightweight chinos — as in, this guide on how to wear a henley for men. But with all that being said, we’re lightening things up and going even more casual and laidback than that. Consider this the first of many posts on how to wear shorts for men this summer — and not just any shorts, but the best men’s shorts. They’re comin’ at ya, naturally, from Huckberry. Would you expect anything else? I certainly hope not. We’re wearing ’em here (or rather, I’m recommending that you wear these shorts this way in the future) with other rugged, easygoing basics.

That makes this the kind of #OOTD fit for summer’s most lofty pursuits or its most basic, whatever that means for you. To me, it means record shopping and brewery hopping, cold beer in hand all the while (or at least, after I’ve got my records in hand). If you already know what the majority of your summer entails, and if it involves fun in the sun — which I guarantee it does — then my guide on how to wear shorts for summer should prove mighty handy. I won’t keep you here any longer, though. All the shopping tips you need for the best men’s shorts can be found below.

The Shorts: Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, $64 — I’ve talked plenty about the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, which come in both a 7-inch and a 9-inch inseam (think longer if you’re taller). Fact of the matter is, they’re the best shorts for men if you want effective, quality style.
The Shirt: Wellen Hemp-Cotton Buttondown, $68 — Get yourself one of the most stylish sustainable shirts out there, with a neat pattern and breezy, eco-conscious fabric.
The Light Jacket: Taylor Stitch Park Bomber, $228 — Now, it might be not cold enough on a typical day for this Taylor Stitch bomber jacket. But if it gets breezy or rainy, or even chilly when the sun goes down, you’ll want this retro bomber on your back.
The Sneakers: Taylor Stitch x SeaVees Vista Sneakers, $88 — Consider this your recommendation to pre-fund this stylish sneakers right now, and then keep this full #OOTD around for inspiration this summer.
The Socks: Proof 72-Hour Merino No-Show Socks, $28 — Those Taylor Stitch x SeaVees sneakers are going to need the best no-show socks around to keep ’em versatile and stylish — these are the pair to buy.
The Watch: Alsta Nautoscaph Superautomatic, $1,005 — This isn’t the first time I’ve recommended this heirloom sport watch, and it won’t be the last. It’s an incredible way to add character and functional style to this #OOTD.
The Sunglasses: Maui Jim Cruzem Sunglasses, $250 — How about these shades? The best pair of sunglasses for men are an absolute essential. Don’t leave home without them, to say the very least.
The Everyday Carry: Filson Rugged Twill Original Brief, $325 — I can’t help but recommend a rugged Filson bag (one that’s also aptly named!) for your daily adventures this summer, anywhere you happen to go.

Are these tips helpful when it comes to how to wear shorts this summer? The key starts, first and foremost, with finding the best shorts for the occasion — in this case, a pair of shorts like the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, in an agreeable inseam and a classic color. They’re an ideal pairing with a piece that’s also an upgrade to your typical tee — one of the most stylish sustainable shirts ought to get the job done for breezy weekend style. Things don’t let up from there, though. Your Taylor Stitch bomber jacket is going to offer up lightweight comfort and necessary protection from the elements, all the while looking just great.

No #OOTD is complete without a pair of the best sneakers for men in the summer months, so your new Taylor Stitch x SeaVees sneakers are primed and ready for the occasion. Add in an heirloom sport watch, one that’s highly splurge-worthy, and you’ve just given this look a major shot in the arm. And while it might have been some time since you’ve worn Maui Jim sunglasses, why not give this ever-reliable brand a try once more? They look great to me, that much I know. Wrap it all up — and get from point A to point B — with a rugged Filson bag, the kind you’ll have for years and years to come. No matter where this #OOTD takes you, it’s going to take you there in style. See you out there, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: Get These New Balance Sneakers for Less Than $60 At UNCRATE

As far as the best gear and menswear on the planet is concerned, you know you can count on UNCRATE, and that’s probably an understatement. That’s where the above New Balance men’s sneakers, some of the best sneakers for summer, come into play. That’s not all, though. Heck, if you keep up with the Sunday Sale series here on the blog, you know that UNCRATE is always a reliable place to get deals on everything from the best men’s henley to the Danner boots worn by James Bond. That certainly holds true for warm-weather gear, too.

With that being said, let’s get into the New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers, which you can snag right now for under $60 at the UNCRATE Surplus Shop. They’re as ideal as it gets when it comes to the best men’s sneakers, featuring a low profile, classic styling potential and of course, that critical, low price tag. What is it about these sneakers specifically? Let’s just say that it’s a bit of everything, but it starts with the iconic, timeless silhouette of these classic white leather sneakers (based off the New Balance Pro Court Tennis Shoes). These are like a more style-forward version of those shoes, with all the versatility you need in fresh summer kicks.

SHOP: The New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers

Helpfully, they also come in black leather in addition to the crisp white leather option at the top of the page, but for $59, it’s the white leather New Balance All Coast 210 Sneakers I’m recommending you buy right now. UNCRATE says these sneakers represent the “ideal balance of sophistication and simplicity,” and that makes them pretty tough to top in my book. Are they your new favorite summer sneakers? They very well could be, my friends. It gets even better when you consider how durable they are for the low price tag.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Apres Pants

As we cruise through Memorial Day weekend into the rest of summer, there are certain essential menswear brands you’ve got to keep top of mind to outfit you properly for the dog days ahead. If you read the blog on the regular, you probably know what I’m about to say next: San Francisco’s Taylor Stitch is one of the best menswear brands out there, and it just so happens that the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are, well, some of the best men’s pants to beat the heat in style all summer long. With the comfort of tailored sweatpants and the same style as, say, Taylor Stitch chinos, believe me when I say the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are a must-have pair of summer trousers.

The time is now, as in, right now, to restock your wardrobe with the best pants for men, the kind of breezy pair you can wear without a second thought, no matter how hot it gets out there (and no matter what’s on your summer agenda for each and every weekend). The key, as with classics like a Taylor Stitch indigo shirt or the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee, comes with the unique blend of durable construction, breezy style and versatile good looks. It’s a trio of must-haves that Taylor Stitch gets right over and over again. Let me put it this way: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants are the answer to the question, “What pants can I wear when it’s hot out?” and man, do they ever answer it decisively.

SHOP: The Taylor Stitch Apres Pants

The great thing about the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants is the fact that, first and foremost, they wear like your breeziest, most comfortable pair of sweatpants…and yet, they’re not the sweats you’ve been wearing for over a year at this point. No sir, the best pants for men are made from an organic cotton double cloth that’s been heavily washed for a lived-in feel right from the start, and the indigo dye will wear in nicely over time.

The front slash pockets aren’t all that different from your favorite chinos (same thing with the back patch button pockets), and yet, the Taylor Stitch Apres Pants channel perfectly laidback comfort and style all the same. The elastic waistband is a touch that works nicely for relaxed days at home or days about town (wear the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee and a Taylor Stitch denim jacket, and no one will be all the wiser that you’re not wearing a belt). It’s that ideal blend of utility and dependable style, at home or on Zoom calls or at your favorite brewery, that makes these some of the best pants for men this summer. You can count on Taylor Stitch’s pants when you need them the most, so it’s time to add ’em to your shopping cart.

The Friday Read: Memorial Day Weekend Sales, A Craft Beer Discount & How to Wear Chukka Boots

Crack open a cold one from Threes Brewing, like the beers shown above (more on that in a second!) and join me in starting off the summer right. Thanks for being here for another Friday Read, as we roll into Memorial Day weekend and kick off the season ahead with plenty of the best gear picks and Memorial Day sales. Hopefully, you’ve been following my sage advice on the blog, be it the best way to wear chukka boots for summer, or else, the best summer menswear to shop at Taylor Stitch. What’s a great summer without the best gear for all of your off-trail, on-trail, in-water or on-land adventures, right? Yes, yes indeed. Of course, all of that adventure makes a guy thirsty, does it not? And it’s with that in mind that I’ll share one of the Memorial Day deals I’m most excited about.

You should head over to Brooklyn’s Threes Brewing, one of my favorite breweries on the planet, and use the code BEAU10 to get 10 percent off your first order of $50 or more from Threes Brewing. That includes only beer, not merch or food, for NYC delivery, brewery pick-up/to-go, or shipping to more than 20 states — what an excellent way to stock your fridge with crisp, flavorful lagers, delicious IPAs and so much more.

Again, that code is BEAU10 for 10 percent off, and it’ll have that beer fridge or cooler stocked quite well for the weekend and season ahead. Cheers to Memorial Day weekend — I hope you’re able to enjoy some time off with family and friends. I know I’ll be looking forward to snagging some cold beers myself at Threes Brewing.

Of course, I’ll be taking care of some writing for Jacob Graye and plenty of other sites, too. Be sure to give my byline at Jacob Graye a read there for all things men’s gear, footwear and more. Cheers, my friends!

I’d be remiss not to mention the Huckberry Memorial Day Weekend Sale, and the fact that you can get up to 50 percent off the Huckberry Sale section in general, heading into this weekend as we kick off summer. How great is that?? Too great. The best men’s summer gear is yours for the taking, folks. Here are a few more I’m loving today.
- Did you know this one was coming? My friends at Taylor Stitch are offering 25 percent off sitewide through May 31st, no code needed (and some exclusions do apply). Talk about one heck of a sale on the best summer style essentials, folks.

- Of note, rugged-yet-stylish gear, apparel and outerwear brand Jack Wolfskin is also running a Memorial Day sale, featuring 20 percent off sitewide through June 1st. Start shopping.

- Topo Designs, one of my favorite brands for rugged outdoor gear, has plenty of its best men’s apparel and hiking gear for less than $100, and you can get free shipping on orders of more than $50.

In need of some new summer swim trunks to round out your gear rotation? I’ve recently got my hands on some Quiksilver men’s board shorts, with a dependable, classic cut and full functionality top of mind. To say I’m looking forward to wearing them when I return to Florida later this summer is an understatement, and if I can find a way to break them out before then, consider me sold on my new favorite swim trunks.

Here’s one more item to consider heading into the weekend. While I would hope you’re using your BEAU10 discount code to get a discount on Threes Brewing beer, a well-stocked bar cart calls for a little something extra on a long weekend. Head to Maxim.com, then, to read about (and purchase!) the new Southern Comfort Americana bottle for this weekend and beyond. Cheers, my friends.

I hope you’re stocked up and ready, in spirit at least, for a stellar, relaxing Memorial Day weekend filled with plenty of Threes Brewing, shopping for stellar deals from Topo Designs, the the Huckberry Sale section, Jack Wolfskin and much more. One last thought: If you need an #OOTD idea for the weekend ahead, be sure to check out my guide on how to wear a short-sleeve shirt for summer. Cheers to the season ahead, and thanks for reading!

The Thursday Buy: Duke Cannon’s Cold Shower Bundle Is Your Summer Grooming Go-To

For as many summer style essentials as you think you’ve taken care of at the moment, there are plenty of men’s grooming essentials that need to be on your summer shopping list, too. Allow me to reintroduce Duke Cannon, Minnesota-based makers of some of the best men’s grooming products, period. You might recognize the brand from my guide to the Duke Cannon Classic Man Kit, packed with four of the best men’s grooming staples, but let’s take a look at a crucial summer pick-up you won’t be able to live without: The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle has a whole host of the best men’s grooming products for summer, especially as the thermostat climbs (and climbs, and climbs).

Staying cool and dry while looking and feeling your best is as important as shopping for, say, your new favorite denim shirt for summer — think of it like a new take on “look good, feel good.” And luckily for us all, Duke Cannon is one of the best grooming brands for men when it comes to helping guys through tricky, hot summer days. Yes indeed, the Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is the new summer grooming essential you didn’t know you needed… yet.

SHOP: The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle

Helpfully, the essential Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is packed with proper picks for guys who tend to run hot (and dealing with NYC summers, as I’ve been these past years, is really no joke). This summer grooming bundle really has it all, including Cold Shower Scrub, with a cooling effect, and the super-effective and well-made Dry Ice Cooling Antiperspirant + Deodorant. Duke Cannon has thought of everything single thing in this handy bundle, including the excellent Cold Shower Cooling Field Towels — face and body wipes to cool you down on the go. It gets even better, though — and I really do mean that.

The Duke Cannon Cold Shower Bundle is on sale right now for $39.50, a nice little discount from its regular $46 price tag. So, that’s four summer grooming essentials for under $40. If I were you, I’d seriously consider hopping on this deal ASAP. Consider it but one addition to your grooming rotation — or rather, four very effective additions to your grooming rotation. Your summer just got a whole lot more cooling and refreshing, and I really do mean that.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Denim Jacket is the Perfect Father’s Day Splurge

Folks, Father’s Day will be here before you know it, and it’s with that in mind that I’m recommending you splurge, invest in the best and get your dad (or any father figure in your life) one of the coolest denim jackets for men around. Dad deserves some extra appreciation this year, and while I typically don’t recommend too many wallet-busting purchases, I’ve got to step up to the plate and vouch for my new favorite denim jacket. It’s not just any typical denim jacket (although I love my indigo denim jacket as much as the next guy). No sir, the fast-selling and much-loved Todd Snyder x Legent Bourbon Selvedge Denim Jacket is an incredible way to splurge on Dad this year, to say the very least. He deserves it, right? No doubt about it. You’ll have to act quickly if you want to get your hands on this bourbon-inspired denim jacket, but trust me when I say that it’ll be worth it.

Now, if you read the blog or if you subscribe to my menswear newsletter, you’ve seen this outstanding denim jacket before — call it the perfect pairing of menswear and whiskey, or call it simply the best denim jacket for men, but it gets the job done either way. Like all things Todd Snyder, one of the country’s finest menswear designers, it’s a masterclass in craftsmanship, rugged style and timeless appeal.

Todd Snyder x Legent® Bourbon Selvedge Jacket

As you search for the best Father’s Day gifts this year, keep this denim jacket top of mind ASAP, because it’s selling quickly. This rugged denim jacket draws heavily on the world of bourbon, where attention to detail and rich quality and character are of the utmost importance. It starts with whiskey-hued selvedge denim sourced from Japan — it’s a fitting homage to the fact that Legent Bourbon blends the expertise of Japanese whiskey blending with Kentucky’s famed distilling heritage.

It all comes together in one of the best men’s denim jackets I’ve seen in a long, long time, with a price tag to match ($398 at Todd Snyder). It’s truly a splurge-worthy gift for a dad who, again, definitely deserves it. It’s finished off in the U.S.A. and features durable antique hardware, all the better for Dad to wear for days and days on end. Plus, it pairs up very nicely with a bottle of Legent Bourbon itself, an incredible addition to any bar cart this Father’s Day. Once again, the Todd Snyder x Legent Bourbon Selvedge Denim Jacket is assuredly a splurge, but one that Dad’s going to love for years and years to come. I’ll drink to that.
