The Tuesday Steal: Save Big On this Rugged Roark Revival Overshirt to Start the New Year

There’s nothing quite like getting back out there in the new year, is there? In ways both good and bad — it might be difficult to be cooped out in front of a computer after a leisurely holiday respite, but if you ask me, that only means it’s time to plan the next getaway outdoors, be it an upstate retreat or something as simple as a wintry walk in the park.

Of course, you need the right winter style essentials for those pursuits, starting with the big-ticket items like one of the best flannel shirts for men. And you’re in luck, because a rugged flannel overshirt from Roark Revival comes to the rescue today in the ever-well-stocked Bespoke Post Sale section. Let’s dig into your new go-to flannel overshirt, shall we?

Shop on-sale menswear and gear at Bespoke Post

The Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt is just one style staple you should count on in the blustery cold of winter, complete with quilted and insulated lining to give it some heft and warmth.

It would pair expertly with a thermal henley and flannel-lined jeans (DUER Performance makes a great pair of flannel-lined jeans, my friends), and that’s but one combination to power you through frigid winter days and nights. And when a waxed trucker jacket or a hefty barn coat is your outerwear move of choice this season, I’d also wager the handsome Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt in its plaid iteration would prove a wise move.

The Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt features a snap-closure front for easy access and standout layering potential, while its taffeta lining also amps up its layering capabilities with easy-on, easy-off access. Note that it also boasts a classic fit for further ease of winter-ready layering — I’d wager you can even style this hard-wearing overshirt atop a fisherman sweater or perhaps even a lighter-weight chambray shirt for cozy comfort and rugged style aplenty.

Best flannel shirts for men.

And at its current sale price of $80 (marked down from $119 in the always-reliable Bespoke Post Sale section), the utility and the rugged nature of the Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt can’t be overlooked — try it on for size, layer up accordingly this winter and get back out there in functional, casually rugged style.

The Thursday Buy: The Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Clock Is an Instant Living Room Upgrade

We talk often on this Brooklyn style blog about the right style essentials to upgrade your daily life — on the road with new boots or a rugged weekender bag, out on the town dressed in style in a merino cardigan, or lounging at home in cozy, comfortable jogger pants (to name but a few scenarios).

But just as you consider the beer in your fridge or the whiskey in your bar cart, perhaps you (like me!) appreciate the finer things in life when it comes to high-end audio and hi-fi listening.

And while my Brooklyn apartment (which you can see from time to time on my Instagram!) also features vinyl turntable and two crates of records, the space I share with my lovely Mary has also been outfitted with more than one of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market. The speaker in question comes from under-the-radar, Northeast-based audio pioneers Tivoli Audio, who I’ve covered in the past at Maxim.com, and who I now wholeheartedly recommend through the pages of this very men’s style blog.

And in my experience, the company delivers some of the best, most high-quality and simply crystal-clear, rich and pleasant audio on the market — and it just so happens that the Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Speaker has enough juice and enough of the right specs to make for a wildly pleasing listening experience in your den, your living room, your bedroom or your office this autumn (and well beyond).

Naturally, it makes sense that the good folks at Bespoke Post tracked down this retro alarm clock-meets-modern Bluetooth speaker, given its handsome profile and stunning performance.

Find out more now at Bespoke Post

The Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Speaker should check all the right boxes if you value crisp, clean and warm style and sound in one bookshelf-sized package, and it comes complete with USB charging ports, AM/FM radio capabilities, a built-in clock face and a stylish contrasting wooden build. The hardware is premium and delivered in a matte finish, and the entire package comes complete with a tuner for further sound clarity.

As Bespoke Post so sagely notes, “beneath its retro exterior lies modern functionality,” and the Tivoli Audio Model III Bluetooth Speaker is the total package if you value a seriously upgraded, modern listening experience. And the best part? You’ve got plenty of time to add this elegant piece to your space ahead of the holiday season.

See Now, Buy Now: This Line of Trade Flannel Shirt Is Your New Everyday Go-To This Season

The right wardrobe for fall calls for reliability and rugged appeal — the sort of pieces, as we so often talk about, that you can wear consistently and stylishly, especially in these increasingly casual times.

So, while a dress shirt or even a chambray-style dress shirt can often suffice in the dressiest situations out there, one of the best flannel shirts is a wise move to keep close at hand as your “daily driver,” so to speak.

And when you find a stylish men’s flannel shirt, one that you can wear with corduroy trousers as easily as with dark blue jeans, that’s just the ticket. As I’ve found out over these past few weeks putting stylish new fall gear to the test, well, that’s where my friends at Bespoke Post and Line of Trade can help out.

Throw in the fact that the best men’s flannel shirts are often made with affordability and comfort in mind — and a lightweight build compared to. say, flannel shirt jackets — then you’re in business and on the go.

At least, all of those attributes hold true with one of my favorite flannel shirts, the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt.

As you’ll recall if you’ve had the chance to try out one of these standout flannel shirts — or any product from the Bespoke Post-approved brand, for that matter — then you’ll know that there’s a combination of style, classically rugged appeal and, in the case of the newest edition of the Summit Flannel Shirt, a supreme focus on ultra-soft brushed cotton flannel.

The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt gets its standout quality from the use of soft brushed cotton flannel, the kind that’s lightweight enough to wear on its own and yet able to layer easily atop a thermal henley or beneath a stretch cotton blazer.

It doesn’t hurt that your new favorite flannel shirt comes in a handful of classic plaid patterns as sold by Bespoke Post (and you can also pick it up directly through Line of Trade, as luck would have it).

In my experience, the handsome Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is nearly the perfect flannel shirt, with a lighter weight than a classic shirt jacket and a look that more than readily wears well with everything from a charcoal blazer to a durable pair of blue jeans. When you want quality that won’t quit, in a timeless plaid design and featuring super-soft fabric, look out for the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt — it’s your new daily driver, as they say.

See Now, Buy Now: The Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket is a Certified Early Fall Style Classic

If there’s been one theme as of late on this Brooklyn style blog, it’s that it’s never too early to start thinking ahead as far as the best fall menswear essentials are concerned — they call it “shoulder season” for a reason, after all, and a classic-meets-modern retailer like Bespoke Post assuredly has you covered for seasonal style situations aplenty.

The New York City brand, which is famous for delivering some of the best online subscription boxes for men, has plenty going for it in its own right these days, including a full lineup of durable, Americana-inspired menswear via Line of Trade.

If you’ve kept up with my Line of Trade reviews on this blog, you’ll know that you can shop the brand via its own site or else through Bespoke Post, and with the new Line of Trade Fall Collection hitting digital shelves, the time has never been more optimal to shop one of the best waxed jackets for men — the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket certainly fits the bill for rugged fashion ahead of brisk days and nights ahead.

The hard-wearing, hard-working Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket starts off with durable 10 oz waxed cotton canvas on the outside, finished off with a soft, warm heavyweight cotton flannel lining.

Dependable details like brass shank buttons lend it both rugged appeal and utility, while the waxed jacket on the tough-as-nails Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket will begin to develop its own patina from the first time you try it on (think of the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket as a different take on the shorter cut of, say, the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket).

A contrasting brushed cotton twill collar lends a sense of heritage style and timeless design, while slant hip pockets are accented by a single button chest pocket for your everyday carry essentials.

This utterly classic jacket is a perfect homage to old-school ranch jackets, the kind you could wear to really get down and dirty — and yet, with an updated fit, it’s suitable for wearing atop a thermal henley for a brewery or distillery visit, and you can surely take the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket out into the field, upstate and back again while breaking it in with each passing wear.

Best of all might be the fact that the water and wind-resistant build of this jacket is fairly priced at $168 — that’s a downright steal considering the wear you can get out of what could just become your new favorite fall jacket. Here’s to the approach of the best season in menswear, my friends.
