The Thursday Buy: This Rugged Buck Mason Deck Jacket is a Modern Twist on a Workwear Staple

The demands of the fall style season — from brisk weather to breezy, rainy days and the chance to go far afield on a cabin getaway — call for gear that can pass muster, as you well know if you read this Brooklyn style blog.

Workwear, with its heritage roots and durable design, is an easy choice for the modern man, especially when designed the right way in the hands the Americana style purveyors at Buck Mason.

The Los Angeles-based brand mines the past for quintessentially tough, sturdy style, and that includes a range of handsome outerwear, not to mention dependable menswear essentials like expertly crafted jeans, chambray shirts, thermal henleys and more. And that brings us to the Buck Mason N-1 Deck Jacket, a vintage-inspired spin that takes reliable design and performance to another level entirely.

The Buck Mason N-1 Deck Jacket gets its great looks from military style inspiration, of course, while its sturdy construction hails from tightly woven midweight, 14oz. cotton jungle cloth. The details are utterly classic and true to form, including the asymmetrical button placket and the durable corduroy collar for an ideal blend of form and function.

As Buck Mason tells it, your new favorite casual fall style selection is a “modern take on the USN Deck Jacket cut from the same sturdy cloth as original WW2 flight suits without the bulky lining.”

That sounds just about perfect for strong off-duty style, with the sort of design that repels wind and rain with ease. And it doesn’t hurt that the cuffs of the Buck Mason N-1 Deck Jacket are also lined with corduroy for timeless good looks and added warmth all the while.

The Buck Mason N-1 Deck Jacket is also fashioned in Japan, as great a place to go for truly traditional American-inspired style as any, with a cropped, classic fit that should prove an apt layer over thermal henleys, a Buck Mason fisherman sweater or a hard-working chambray shirt.

The Buck Mason N-1 Deck Jacket pairs up seamlessly with stretch canvas work pants for days in the field, but its rugged, dashing good looks should also style more than admirably with black jeans and tan leather boots for a round of dive bar beers. How does that sound when it comes to your new favorite fall jacket, ehh? The Buck Mason N-1 Deck Jacket, like we said earlier, can certainly pass muster. Happy fall style hunting, my friends.
