If rugged durability is what you tend to look for in your wardrobe, then you know that the small (and large) details make the difference, especially when it comes to searching for the best work pants on the market.

And that’s where Howler Brothers comes into play, my friends. Available from my friends at Bespoke Post, the Howler Brothers ATX Work Pants are up for adventure, for yard work and even for post-shift beers and nights at your favorite laidback local bar.

It all starts with a sturdy cotton canvas blend fabric, which is even tougher than your favorite pair of blue jeans. From there, details like a crotch gusset — for further range of movement — go hand in hand with reinforced knees for highly durable performance. The Howler Brothers ATX Work Pants also boast reinforced belt loops and a straight-leg fit that offers room to move without proving too baggy.

Metal snap closures at the back pockets ensure the Howler Brothers ATX Work Pants keep your most crucial everyday carry pieces safe and secure. And although they’re first and foremost a rugged work pant, they can pair up handsomely with a stylish Howler Brothers flannel shirt for a casually cool, comfortable look.

When you want durable, dependable work pants that are actually much more than just work pants, you know the pair you need from Howler Brothers over at Bespoke Post.

I don’t know about you, but when I look to build out my wardrobe of the best men’s style essentials, I opt for maximum versatility — pieces that work just about anywhere, all the while straddling the line between rugged and refined. And that’s what Buck Mason tends to do, as well. The brand, be it making one of the best fisherman sweaters or an essential men’s henley, knows how to hit the mark in both areas, as with the classically rugged Buck Mason Felted Wool Chore Coat.

It’s not quite a blazer but not quite a full-on winter chore coat — instead, it’s a bit of both, with hearty construction, durability and versatility top of mind. It has the three-button build and notch lapels of a traditional blazer, plus patch pockets for casual style points, but the Buck Mason Felted Wool Chore Coat goes a step further — the collar can be turned up for both visual appeal and added protection against the cold.

Meanwhile, the Buck Mason Felted Wool Chore Coat uses soft yet durable wool that’s been boiled twice, bolstering its insulation and durability. It comes in the brand’s array of dusty, rich, neutral colors in earth tones, each of which should pair quite nicely with everything from Buck Mason blue jeans to olive chinos. 

With the softness and style points of a classic blazer and the toughness of a chore coat, the Buck Mason Felted Wool Chore Coat should prove an optimal winter layer, whether at the office or out and about on date night. Style it accordingly and good luck out there, my friends.

At times, menswear classics — like the Oxford shirt or the blue jean, for instance — don’t need too much tweaking. But when an update rolls around, especially from one of the best menswear designers in the country, like Billy Reid, the results are worth keeping an eye. Take the Billy Reid Shoals Shirt — it’s a hard-wearing, classic denim shirt with a few Billy Reid-approved updates, and it’s been in the designer’s line for years.

It’s already one of the best denim shirts for men, but when it gets updated, as with the Billy Reid Shoals Twill Shirt, it gets even better. The key here is the use of rich organic cotton that gets better and softer with every wear, in my experience. But the update this time around?

The use of that same fabric in a rich Slate Green color, the kind that pairs well with everything from a navy shawl collar cardigan to a classic fisherman sweater or an indigo trucker jacket.

Plus, touches like Billy Reid‘s signature spade pockets, to go along with handsome antique brass hardware, serve to make this a stylish shirt bound to get noticed anywhere you go. One of the best men’s shirts, period, nmade even better? That’s the Billy Reid way, my friends.
