Style Pick of the Week: Oliver Cabell Mock Brown Leather Boots

Mock | Brown

Luxurious, rugged-yet-refined leather boots for fall? Sign me up.

As we roll through September, what’s on your shopping list? Make sure the best boots for men sit atop your list — but let’s take a step back for a second. You’ve surely got a rotation filled with rugged leather boots, the kind fit for off-trail adventures and to-go brewery visits aplenty. What if, though, you amped up your boot game with a pair that was ever-so-slightly refined … while still being rugged and well-made? That’s where Oliver Cabell comes into play. The Oliver Cabell Mock Leather Boots are at once handsome and dressy, yet durable enough to take on the season ahead. That makes ’em … yes, you guessed it … some of the best boots for fall, period. For the past few years, the brand has been able to deliver quality akin to some of the best brands in the game, yet at lower prices (these stylish leather boots retail for $248 regularly).

Now, perhaps you’ve read about Oliver Cabell here on the blog before (check out this post on the best men’s sneakers, for instance), but they’ve delved ever deeper into the world of the best boots for men these past few years, with stellar results. Hence, the Oliver Cabell Mock Boots are ready for your purchase and your review — I think you’re going to dig the results. These are a rare pair of water-resistant leather boots, made with durable Blake-stitch construction for resoleability. And the Vibram outsole is every bit as comfortable and lightweight as you’d expect from a premium brand like Oliver Cabell

SHOP: The Oliver Cabell Brown Leather Mock Boots

All the best materials you’d expect, with all the added touches you need now.

Both the specs and the styling potential of these stylish moc toe boots are more than up to snuff when it comes to your fall functionality and fashion needs. That waterproof leather just so happens to be a highly versatile shade of brown, fit for pairing with tan chinos and a white Oxford shirt or a denim shirt and slim black jeans (yes, you can mix black and brown together!). These are a solidly built pair of stylish, refined leather boots — you could even wear them with a charcoal wool suit and that classic white Oxford shirt (ditch the tie) if you find yourself needing to spruce up a bit during these socially distant times.

Vintage brass eyelets and premium Italian cotton laces live up to the Oliver Cabell promise of quality, too. While these boots might look a bit too precious, there’s no reason you can’t wear ’em out and about around town (wear a mask!) this fall — and beyond. The fall season is just getting started, so you best get to work with some of the best boots for men.

The Friday Read: Labor Day Weekend, How to Wear a Denim Shirt & Grilling Essentials

Probably Whiskey Mug - Cool Material

A well-appointed way to head into the weekend, right?

Cheers, my friends, to the impending start of Labor Day weekend. Let’s kick it off with a choice beverage via Swag Brewery’s Probably Whiskey Mugs at Cool Material — perfect for a camping trip, a cabin weekend or a bonfire. But back to Labor Day: Can you believe it’s here already? As I always tend to say when the summer wraps up, it feels like we were just talking about the best summer shorts or the best way to wear boat shoes. Rest assured, both of those tips will still come in handy, because of course, it’s prime time to close out the season the right way. So, here we are.

Be it the best grilling essentials for Labor Day weekend or, say, a new way to wear a denim shirt, it’s all below in today’s Friday Read. Those picks today will also include a stylish watch from the well-appointed UNCRATE Supply Shop, which holds a bevy of the best gear picks for men. Of course, there’s one thing you should also take care of before and during the weekend, and that’s getting your favorite beer delivered right to your door. You’ll see this in future posts here on the blog, but I’ve taken to using Drizly alcohol delivery to get my favorite craft beers in a flash, along with whiskey and much more.

Speaking of gear picks for men, have you had the honor of subscribing to my newsletter, The Style Guide In Brief? Of course, I only kid. But if you want a  bit more of The Style Guide than I’ve got room for here, from indie rock to coffee to the best gear picks, twice a week, do yourself a favor and subscribe. I’ve featured favorite bands like Future Islands and The War On Drugs alongside some of my favorite boots and more. It’s a good time, guaranteed.

How will you be enjoying your weekend? I’m going to be capping my time off in Florida in relaxing fashion, heading to Orlando to (safely) see my sister, and what’s more, experience (safely!) Universal Orlando Studios. It’s always a favorite of the Hayhoe family, especially The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (a huge part of my childhood!). To follow along with all my adventures in style, be sure to follow me on Instagram. For now, I’m off to kick back, listen to the new album by The Killers and enjoy what’s (probably) some coffee. Cheers & thank you for reading!

A rugged, durable, affordable watch for late summer and early fall.

Vintage-inspired high-top sneakers that’ll come in handy for fall.

Let’s close this thing out by talking about early fall style, OK? I’ve got a pair of rugged leather boots for you right now that’ll come in handy on September adventures, as well as when the weather takes a turn for the worse in the season ahead. The Taylor Stitch Moto Boots are about as good as it gets if you want some of the best leather boots for men, and that’s just a fact. Read my full Taylor Stitch boots review for more. As always, thank you again for reading — have a great weekend and let’s look toward fall in style. I’ll raise a glass to that!

Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket | Trucker ...

A tried-and-true waxed jacket from a famed brand.

You’ve seen it online as far as the best trucker jackets for men are concerned. And you’ve read about this classic waxed jacket on this blog for years, you’ve probably considered buying it from time to time, and now it’s better than ever. The Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket is here for the best season in menswear, and not a moment too soon. The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket is nearly the stuff of legend, at least to this writer. As sold by lauded gear and lifestyle retailer Huckberry (whom I trust you know well!), this rugged jacket is one of the site’s best-selling items ever, and for good reason. It’s a tough-as-nails, no-holds-barred, stylish trucker jacket made from durable waxed Martexin sailcloth and finished off with antique metal buttons, plus a flannel lining for fall and winter warmth. With a classic-yet-still-tailored trucker jacket cut, an easy-to-layer design and space for your EDC essentials, it’s an ingenious jacket that’s perhaps one of the best jackets for men for the colder months — that’s not hyperbole if ever you’ve tried it (and I own two myself!).

Heck, if you’ve been thinking about picking up this jacket, there’s never been a better time. The Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket comes in more than six versatile, easy-to-style colorways, with tough hardware and plenty of layering potential to match. Wear it atop a chambray shirt or a classic henley (or both), then pair that combination with your favorite denim, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants or rugged work pants — heck, do all of the above for every day of the week. This is one jacket that can do it all, so get shopping accordingly.

See Now, Buy Now: These Filson x Danner Boots Are the Perfect Boots for Early Fall

Filson X Danner Combat Hiker Delivers Military-Grade Quality | Man ...

Two companies famed for rugged durability deliver some of the best boots for men, period.

Ladies and gentlemen, your new favorite pair of fall boots is going to come from Filson. That’s right: Filson. If these Pacific Northwest heritage purveyors don’t strike you right off the bat as makers of some of the most rugged men’s shoes, then think again — Filson footwear falls perfectly within what you might call “Filson Life,” be it grueling projects at home or lofty excursions in the field.And that’s where today’s See Now, Buy Now pick comes into play. The Filson x Danner Combat Hikers are, simply put, the perfect boots for early fall. They’re a custom iteration of standard-issue combat boots given to troops all across the world, so they can certainly handle anything you throw at ’em.

They’re exactly what you need to navigate rocky terrain, windy weather and tough conditions aplenty — at home or on the road during socially distanced adventures. The best gear for men, after all, doesn’t quit on you when you need it the most, and the same can be said for the best men’s boots. It’s helpful that both Filson and Danner built their brands on creating wildly tough outdoor gear meant to handle any situation, specifically in the Pacific Northwest. These durable, stylish hiking boots fit the mold in that regard. It starts with a hard-wearing, waterproof leather upper and a durable rubber rand placed along the bottom of the hikers, and things only get better from there.

SHOP: The Filson x Danner Combat Hikers 

Dependable men’s boots that blend the best of both worlds when it comes to Filson and Danner.

The best hiking boots for men blend form and function, and the great thing is, these Filson x Danner boots definitely do both (be it back in town, worn with tough chore pants and a rugged henley, or out on the trail). The difference here is the flexible, ribbed Vibram outsole, a hallmark of Danner boots that just so happens to provide excellent traction on slippery trails and surfaces. GORE-TEX lining adds comfort and waterproof protection, too.

The fact that the leather is custom-made for Filson only bodes very well for the long-term durability of these rugged hiking boots (certainly, they’re some of the best men’s boots, period). The Filson x Danner Combat Hikers check so many of the right boxes, you should feel more than comfortable wearing ’em with faded blue denim and a Filson flannel shirt in your downtime hanging out by the fire pit this fall. Sounds pretty unbeatable, right? That’s what you get with Filson and Danner.

#OOTD: How to Wear Your Flint and Tinder Oxford Shirt This Season (And Beyond)

If you’ve been checking your calendar and looking at the weather forecast as obsessively as I have, you’ve probably been keeping an eye on the best menswear you need in your wardrobe. Well, you’ll be glad to know we’ve entered September, which in my mind heralds what you might call “early fall,” and the chance to, as they say, really start dressin’. That’s where one of the best Oxford shirts comes into play — in fact, you’ll notice the headline gets right down to it. Your Flint and Tinder Oxford shirt — or perhaps, the one you might want to purchase today — is the right building block for a casually cool, versatile and rugged early fall #OOTD, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Although your early fall routines might involve sidewalk dining at a brewery versus hopping around from brewery to distillery and back home, today’s ensemble works well for when you want to (safely) get out of the house in style, be it on a secluded getaway or a day trip.

And when you just feel like putting on your new favorite shirt and teaming it with a rugged chore coat and stylish five-pocket pants — plus classic leather boots? Well, you’ve got all the pieces you need to amp up your early fall day. Remember, though: It doesn’t get off the ground without your Flint and Tinder Oxford shirt from the good folks at Huckberry. Check out the full #OOTD below, then chime in on Twitter to let me know what picks you like (or dislike). Cheers!

Subtly stylish, classically cool men’s must-haves that just work for early fall.

  • The Shirt: Flint and Tinder Garment-Dyed Oxford Shirt, $88.98 — Get this Flint and Tinder shirt, one of the best Oxford shirts around, in a garment-dyed finish and a classic color. It nearly makes the entire #OOTD, does it not?
  • The Chore Coat: Flint and Tinder Chore Coat, $124.98 — The coolest chore coat on the market also happens to be made by Flint and Tinder. Dress accordingly.
  • The Pants: Buck Mason Khaki Slub Twill Officer Pants, $135 — Pleasingly casual-yet-sharp five-pocket pants in a soft cotton twill fabric. Possibly the perfect pants for early fall, in my opinion.
  • The Boots: Rhodes Dean Boots, $220 — If you haven’t yet tried the excellent Rhodes Dean Boots from the good folks at Huckberry, now’s your chance. We’re talking surprisingly rugged dress boots with a tough, flexible sole and quality design.
  • The Socks: American Trench Mil-Spec Sport Socks with Silver (4-Pack), $42.50 — Take your pick among any number of standout colors of stylish socks from American Trench. As a matter of fact, American Trench socks are my favorite on the market, and they work incredibly well for early fall.
  • The Watch: Timex + Todd Snyder Marlin Watch, $199 — The hits keep coming for the Timex + Todd Snyder partnership, this time focused on a stylish brown leather watch with a handsome navy dial. Easily one of the best men’s dress watches.
  • The Everyday Bag: Filson Rugged Twill Padded Computer Bag, $425 — Invest in the very best with this tough everyday bag that can handle just about anything, your computer (as needed) and everyday carry essentials alongside it. If you just feel like stocking up on to-go beer for now? It can do that, too.
  • The Grooming Essential: Oars + Alps Face + Eye Cream, $22 — Start off fall on the right foot: With a nourishing, essential cream from one of the best men’s grooming brands — it’s designed to moisturize and fight aging & wrinkles on your face and around your eyes. Use the code BEAU15 to get 15 percent off your order, too. 

Here we are at the tail end of another #OOTD, if you can believe it. How ready do you feel for the season ahead? Fall can be mighty unpredictable in terms of the weather and the changing seasons, so hopefully, this look gives you some options and some versatility. I don’t know much, but I do know that wearing a Flint and Tinder shirt in  casual wash and classic fit is as great a way to start a look as any. Add in the fact that Flint and Tinder also happens to make the coolest chore coat, and you’ve got a winning combination up top for your next outdoor excursion or Zoom call in equal measure. To keep the casual-yet-rugged and versatile vibes going, that’s where Buck Mason pants come into play — they’re comfortable yet tough, and essential for multiple seasons (this one included).

You’re also getting some of the best men’s boots to really drive home fall style: The Rhodes Dean Boots check all the right boxes when it comes to design and functionality.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Scout Shirt

As rugged and dependable a shirt for fall as you’re apt to find.

My friends, thanks for swinging back through for another Style Pick of the Week. We’re here today to close out August, a truly wild feeling that heralds the start of bigger and better things — namely, early fall, and the transition into the best season for menswear out there, helped along by the best gear for men. That means rugged wardrobe additions from … you guessed it … Filson. The Pacific Northwest heritage brand is a longtime favorite of the blog, and it’s not hard to see why: Pieces like the versatile, tough Filson Scout Shirt get right to the point. This year’s edition is one of the best men’s shirts for fall, with the specs and the styling potential to prove it.


men's leather belts

And hopefully by now, you know that Filson men’s gear is tough-as-nails, truly the best of the best — right? If not, we’re here to get you up to speed. Because temperatures aren’t quite close to plummeting rapidly yet, the Filson Scout Shirt is the perfect shirt for the season. Made with a relatively lightweight 4oz. cotton twill, consider it an all-season shirt that just so happens to wear nicely on its own or atop a classic pocket tee or a tough henley — feel fee to start out fall wearing either stylish combination.

SHOP: The Filson Scout Shirt

One of several fall-ready patterns in which you’re going to want this classic Filson shirt.

This rugged men’s shirt also nails it on the functionality front. The fabric is yarn-dyed to prevent fading, meaning you can wear it over and over for yard work, day trips, hiking excursions or casual to-go brewery visits without missing a beat. Two front-button chest pockets (surprisingly roomy on most Filson shirts, from my experience) offer space for your everyday carry essentials, while pleated shoulders add excellent range of motion and versatility for plenty of wearing occasions.

The excellent Filson Scout Shirt is also available in some stylish and fall-ready patterns, each of which would wear handsomely with everything from durable chore pants to your favorite pair of jeans and rugged leather boots. And again, you can’t go wrong with a shirt that’s able to be layered up atop a henley, worn all on its own or teamed with a tough Filson waxed jacket. For early fall days when anything can happen weather-wise, that sort of reliability is crucial. Filson really has stepped up to the plate and delivered a classic men’s shirt that you should be proud to wear now, and into the rest of fall … and long beyond that.
