Can a man ever have enough stylish buttondown shirts, or rather, the sort of go-anywhere shirt that can be trusted to get the job done at a moment’s notice? The sort of shirt like the Flint and Tinder Classic Selvage Architect Shirt, the kind of wear-with-anything shirt that fuses the gap between a rugged denim shirt and a timeless Oxford shirt in a way that only Huckberry can do.
It’s a perfect example of an on-sale steal you can put to good use this holiday season and beyond, and it’s also the type of deal that doesn’t come around too often — it’s now up for grabs for 50 percent off, my friends. And as with most standout shirting and gear up for grabs at Huckberry, it’s made with plenty of thoughtful details for consistent wear and consistent style points.
You see, the Flint and Tinder Classic Selvage Architect Shirt gets its cues from timeless, trusted workshirts, with Japanese slub selvage denim craftsmanship that’s only sure to get better with age. And although the Flint and Tinder Classic Selvage Architect Shirt calls to mind an Oxford shirt, it’s built with details like reinforced elbow patches for hard-wearing, hard-working performance.
Plus, selvage detailing throughout lends it the air of a classic workwear shirt, while details like a chest pocket and pleasingly rounded collar drive home its versatility as a business casual-approved shirt. Side vent gussets give the Flint and Tinder Classic Selvage Architect Shirt even more utility and easy-to-wear mobility, and because it’s Huckberry we’re talking about, even the buttons get custom engraving from Flint and Tinder.
Oh, and yes, before we forget, the Flint and Tinder Classic Selvage Architect Shirt is yours for the taking at 50 percent off right now, my friends. How’s that for an early Christmas present, right?
When brisk winter weather rolls into town, it’s sometimes a safe bet to trust the classics, the most reliable parts of your wardrobe as far as bundling up in style is concerned. In my experience, that’s where it pays off to have a brand like Taylor Stitch close at hand, with its emphasis on Americana classics with functional roots and modern style.
That ethos certainly applies to the Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket, a tried-and-true fan favorite from the West Coast brand that seems to get consistently better every single year. Inspired by wool overshirts trusted by New England fishermen in frigid conditions, the Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket is a seafaring staple made modern.
This rugged men’s shirt jacket is, in fact, made all the better for bundling up on cold winter mornings or for chilly nights out at your favorite brewery, with casually rugged style top of mind. It starts with sturdy fabrication, turning the Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket into a standalone piece of outerwear atop a thermal henley or even a fisherman sweater (which the brand also makes, naturally).
The Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket is built with an 11-oz. 80% wool, 20% nylon twill fabric blend, with all the features you’ve come to know and love from the modern favorite retailer — including its face-framing, stylish California collar.
Details like oversized chest pockets give it true shirt-jacket utility, while the design is hardy enough to layer up in all but the most frosty conditions. The Ash Twill finish pairs nicely with other rugged workwear staples in shades ranging from tobacco to burgundy and indigo, delivering a shot of style in the process. When adverse weather strikes, opt for a reliable modern classic like the Taylor Stitch Maritime Shirt Jacket as part of your outerwear rotation — it’s a standby in my own wardrobe for a reason, my friends.
The headline says it all today, my friends, as we dive deep into perfecting that tricky balance: That is, blending utility and style points in one package, with a focus on one of the best jackets for men this season.
There’s no time quite like the present, as Los Angeles-based Aether Apparel just opened up the vault for its Aether Apparel Black Friday Sale, and many key styles from the performance-minded retailer are still in stock and yours for the taking. That includes the Aether Apparel Alto Jacket, and folks, when it comes to the right blend of form and function, it’s nearly a home run for all your winter layering needs.
The retailer, now in its 15th year of making city-ready gear that also performs on the trail, touts the Aether Apparel Alto Jacket’s “streamlined design and slim-fitting cut,” flattering specs that take any jacket from merely good to being one of the best down jackets for men out there.
It’s more elevated in every way than plenty of other puffer jackets on the market, with a box-quilted design the brand says draws inspiration from English hunting jackets. Crucially, PrimaLoft Gold insulation adds a premium touch, delivering warmth without added bulk (always a tricky balance when layering up with a puffer jacket, at least in my experience).
The Aether Apparel Alto Jacket comes with helpful added features like a stand-up collar for added warmth, a zipper “hood” to keep the top zipper in place, and front side slant hip pockets to stow your everyday carry essentials. The Aether Apparel Alto Jacket is streamlined enough to wear on the trail and back into town, or to use as a travel jacket — think comfort and easy access to your valuables, rather than added bulk.
And the relatively minimal design of the Aether Apparel Alto Jacket makes it an easy pairing alongside pieces more technical — like stretch hiking pants or canvas work pants — as well as more casual, like five-pocket pants or even blue jeans.
The rich blue color is more visually appealing than the typical black seen so widely when it comes to winter jackets, too. In every way possible, from warmth to performance to style, this jacket proves it’s worth every penny — your winter wardrobe depends on it.
If today’s headline made you do a double take, you’re likely not alone: We’re talking all about Line of Trade, but in a different capacity than before. You very likely recognize Line of Trade from the digital shelves of NYC retailer Bespoke Post, which trumpets small businesses, stylish subscription boxes of its own, and the coolest gear for men across the board.
That focus on American classics — from slinging T-shirts and flannel shirts to selling cool-as-heck valet trays, decanters and more — led the Bespoke Post team to form Line of Trade, and it’s now all grown up, so to speak.
You see, you can score rugged, classically cool menswear online right from the brand itself, a great excuse to revamp and re-up your winter wardrobe — starting with the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt. Yes indeed, it’s great a time as any to get properly acquainted with the rugged, all-American retailer.
The company believes in menswear that’s built to last, not in chasing trends, and you can see that reflected right away in products like the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, plus a full lineup of best-sellers. Those best-selling menswear essentials include items like trucker jackets, sherpa jackets, heavyweight T-shirts and even a versatile pair of officer chinos modeled after old-school military pairs.
The great news is, the richly crafted Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt fits right in with each of those men’s style must-haves, especially in the cold climes of winter. The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, made from an exclusive pattern in super-soft, 100 percent cotton flannel, is a prized piece in my own wardrobe.
In one of several richly crafted patterns and colors, it’s got the ability to be worn on its own underneath a soft-shouldered blazer, or else atop a thermal henley. That pairing works well alongside, say, one of the brand’s waxed trucker jackets. It’s got a pleasing light weight to it — this isn’t a shirt jacket, but a flannel shirt you can layer comfortably beneath a hearty top layer.
A left chest patch pocket keeps things classic, while the length is perfect to wear untucked alongside your favorite pair of blue jeans (as I often do). If you’ve been hunting for a new favorite flannel shirt, one you can layer casually or dress up ever so slightly, and one that you can buy in bulk, so to speak, then I can confidently say the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is your best bet this week.
You might call it a match made in heaven, or merely another chance to get a fast-selling pair of the best men’s boots. But whatever phrase you happen to call it, a series of savings on a pair of the Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots aren’t to be missed.
And the fact that you can snag your new favorite pair of boots at a discount even after Black Friday and Cyber Monday has passed is just icing on the cake, is it not? As of this writing, the stellar Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots are 25 percent off, with some pairs moving quite quickly — now’s your chance ahead of the best season for winter adventures.
In my experience with Huckberry and Danner boots, the performance, style and rugged utility are must-haves for your winter footwear rotation. Here, it’s the best of both worlds (or the best of every world as you scour the market for premium footwear).
This ultra-special, eye-catching collaboration — with a color inspired by the western Gold Rush — takes shape via the Danner Mountain GTX, a durable, super-comfortable set of hiking boots in their own right. They’re waterproof and lined in Gore-Tex for performance on and off the trail, while a springy, rebound-focused Vibram® Kletterlift Thin outsole delivers traction and all-day comfort.
That’s far from the only special features these boots are built with, my friends. The Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots boast waterproof suede across the upper, with hits of contrasting brown rubber (including a mud guard). Classic speed hook lacing keeps with Danner’s tradition of crafting some of the best hiking boots on the market, yet these get a sneaker boot-esque lift from that Vibram outsole.
The Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots are the total package, if you ask me — rugged, comfortable, durable and made for both the town and the trail. And oh, yes, they’re on sale at the moment via one of the very best online menswear shops around. Get to it, my friends.
It certainly is a crowded market out there when it comes to the best Cyber Monday deals for guys, with plenty of exceptional sales (thank you, Huckberry and Taylor Stitch!) up for the taking. But let’s dial things down ever so slightly.
We talked late last week about just a select few of the very best menswear deals for Black Friday, and here’s another one worthy of your consideration: When it comes to simple, stylish, well-made men’s basics — the kind of menswear you rely on every day, and the kind it can be nice to not overspend on — well, Everlane is perhaps your best bet at the moment (or one of them, at least).
And at a time when it seems some online shopping deals are really, well, not all that much of a deal, where else can you find a whopping 60 percent off on some of the best jeans for men (plus a host of other minimal, stylish and versatile essentials).
The sale includes a bit of everything, from dark blue jeans to Oxford shirts, T-shirts crisply designed sweaters and sweatshirts. But the best deal might be a sub-$50 pair of the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans, with organic cotton construction in a rich assortment of crisp, wear-with-anything washes.
In a positive sea of deals, it’s hard to find a great-fitting pair of men’s jeans under $50, but these certainly qualify. With the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans, you’ve got your pick of six different washes and a wide assortment of sizes, each as easy to wear with a T-shirt or a henley as they are to dress up ever so slightly with a chambray shirt for day-to-night style.
Plus, you can shop with confidence when it comes to the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans — the brand is transparent about where and how they’re made, and the end result is a pair of jeans that normally costs closer to $120.
Yet now, that same pair of everyday denim now costs you closer to $50, and you can wear ’em the rest of the holiday season and into the new year. Shop accordingly, save in style and test yourself out a new pair of the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans.
It’s already been a momentous holiday weekend for the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on your favorite gear and menswear, and rest assured that we’re not done yet. If you haven’t yet gotten all your holiday shopping done, and if you haven’t yet scoured the exceptional menswear on offer from Huckberry as part of the Huckberry Cyber Week Sale, it’s about high time you locked in and logged on.
There are plenty of rare discounts up for grabs from the retailer as far as the best winter menswear and gear is concerned, and that also includes a full rotation of Flint and Tinder waxed jackets, like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket as shown above. It’s an utter classic in every regard, with rugged style and winter-ready functionality in spades, starting with its tough waxed cotton exterior for performance in the wind, rain and snow.
It gets even better, because right now, the burly Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket is 25 percent off (as of the time of this writing), dropping the sale price down to well below $300. That means you’re getting a heck of a lot of jacket for an agreeable price, seeing as the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket comes complete with added features like a detachable hood, a fully lined body finished with cotton flannel, and a plethora of pockets for your everyday carry essentials.
The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket also boasts a longer cut than the classic Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker (which you should also consider scoring this weekend), so it’s useful as a field coat as well as a chore coat option.
Front snap pockets provide critical storage space, while a series of rich, dark and earthy color options should pair with everything from inky blue selvedge to tobacco chinos and grey work pants.
For as much as Thanksgiving weekend is about quality time with family and friends, not to mention utterly delicious food and drink, it’s also an expert time to think about the menswear classics your wardrobe could use. That holds true whether you look at this weekend as a shopping starting point or as a bit of a refresher, and that’s where my friends at Filson can help.
And in my experience, it never hurts to opt for classics from a time-honored brand, especially when those classics just so happen to be on sale. Take the Filson Alaskan Guide Flannel Shirt, a tried-and-true style staple from the legendary Pacific Northwest outfitter.
Right now, you can get one of the best flannel shirts for men at a downright steal of a price: Try as much as 60 percent off. It’s got all the trappings of a new wardrobe favorite, with a rich selection of colors and timeless plaid patterns available, but it only gets better from there.
To be fair, there’s a host of the best menswear deals on rugged gear aplenty within the confines of the Filson Black Friday Sale, but let’s start with a must-have shirt for cold winter days, shall we? The Filson Alaskan Guide Flannel Shirt hits the mark in every regard as far as flannel shirting is concerned, with its tightly woven, brushed cotton twill construction for a soft yet durable handfeel.
Details like gusseted chest pockets give the Filson Alaskan Guide Flannel Shirt the functionality of a workshirt or shirt jacket, as do the pleated shoulders for greater range of motion.
And yet, the Filson Alaskan Guide Flannel Shirt also functions as the kind of casually cool shirt you can rock easily with dark blue jeans and brown leather lace-up boots for a laidback evening on the town. And when cold weather and your winter to-do list happen to pick back up, the Filson Alaskan Guide Flannel Shirt is there at every turn, you matter which color, size or style you select.
A range of sizes are available, and when you consider the fact that you can score the Filson Alaskan Guide Flannel Shirt at up to 60 percent off, it’s absolutely a deal worth shopping from one of the best brands to buy on Black Friday weekend. Cheers to that, my friends.
My friends, welcome to a special Black Friday edition of the Friday Read here on this Brooklyn style blog, where we tend to cover a bit of everything, from shopping and spirits to, of course, menswear and gear.

Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post on one of the best flannel shirts from Filson, too. Shop here.

Billy Reid: Save At Least 20 Percent On Refined Menswear
With Billy Reid — makers of the peacoat worn by James Bond, among other staples — the difference truly is in the details, like the designer’s signature ribbon trim finish and richly crafted fabrics. You’ve got your best chance of the year to save on refined, utterly classic menswear with a dash of Americana, but here’s the catch.
My friends, in the interest of letting you get back to your leftovers and turkey sandwiches (and perhaps some shopping, whiskey sipping and afternoon football viewing), that’ll do it for my guide to the best Black Friday deals and steals! Happy shopping, have a great holiday weekend — with two more posts on this blog incoming! — and as ever, we’ll See You Out There. Cheers!
The style points keep rolling in, as do the bountiful style servings when it comes to the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales from top designers and your favorite brands — like Billy Reid as shown above.
But before we get down to business: A very Happy Thanksgiving from this humble Brooklyn style blog — here’s hoping you’re enjoying the day with family and friends, along with an outstanding dinner and (naturally) some of the best holiday menswear in tow.
Alabama-based Billy Reid has long been one of my favorite menswear designers, putting a rugged-meets-refined spin on American staples like the denim shirt, the blue jean, the peacoat and (dare I say) the flannel shirt and the blazer. Those styles, like the Bond Peacoat, are part of the modern menswear lexicon.
He’s also all about community, often featuring his family — and their recipes and stories — on his site and via social media.
And if you’ve met Billy or spoken to him via phone (as I have for this story on American-made menswear at The Manual), you’ll realize he really walks the walk, talks the talk and designs some simply standout menswear. Beyond just the most-excellent Billy Reid Black Friday Sale, it really did feel just right to cover the brand, given his focus on family, connection and community.
Beyond that, his pieces are a true staple in my own wardrobe, including the Bond Peacoat. So, what about that Billy Reid Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale before you drift off into a turkey-fueled slumber?
The savings are yours for the taking, including a potential discount on the perfectly fall-ready Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt as shown above: Get 20% off your purchase of $400 or more, 30% off purchases of $800 and up (the Bond Peacoat is $798!) and 40% off purchases of $1,200 and up. How’s that for some of the best menswear deals around?
Billy Reid’s style essentials are an investment, no doubt, but one you can feel great about making, given their authenticity, long-lasting quality and exceptional blend of style and durability. That’s about as good as it gets when it comes to holiday shopping over the long weekend, if you ask me.
