The Tuesday Steal: This Line of Trade Madras Shirt is an On-Sale Style Steal to End Summer

Best madras shirt for men.

Summer’s last gasp, that sprint to the finish before Labor Day, still brings with it opportunities aplenty to style your favorite summer menswear essentials — and perhaps pick up a piece or two to keep handy when the time rolls around for a warm-weather getaway.

Preparation makes perfect, which is why I often scour the Bespoke Post Sale section for finds that work in the current season at hand, as well as future seasons — and that’s where the Americana-inspired designers at Line of Trade tend to come in handy with classics made modern, as you well know if you’ve read this New York menswear blog.

The brand, originally started by Bespoke Post (and now also shoppable on its own Web site), takes throwback styles and updates them with better fits and fabrics, like the Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt. Madras is an iconic fabric with a history stretching back to India, one that eventually made its way into modern menswear as a New England prep style staple (as Bespoke Post so sagely notes).

You can now inject a bit of that style into your own late summer rotation with the Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt, and you can do it all for more than 50 percent off. That means certain colors and sizes of the Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt are selling mighty quickly at the moment, so take heed.

And yet, the good news is, Line of Trade menswear tends to be quite affordable in its own right, particularly if you scour the Bespoke Post Sale section for other in-season style staples made by Line of Trade. This stylish shirt was also part of a Bespoke Post subscription box offering earlier this season, as seen below, but this handsome madras shirt is all yours for the taking on its own right now — and from one of my favorite online menswear retailers, no less.

In the meantime, the yarn-dyed lightweight cotton of your new favorite summer buttondown shirt should prove plenty easygoing at the beach, at a BBQ or strolling the coastline — chino shorts and canvas sneakers or stylish leather boat shoes would prove worthy companions for this modern update to a timeless style.

If I were you, I’d jump at the chance to greet the end of summer in style with a fast-selling, easy-to-wear Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt.

The Tuesday Steal: This Line of Trade Utility Shirt is an On-Sale Spring Workwear Steal from Bespoke Post

Spring weather brings with it the return of breezy, sunny days — ideal for breaking out some of your favorite menswear essentials, of course — but the season isn’t without its style challenges, including the need to gear up for all manner of rough-and-tumble work, spring cleaning and yes, the occasional adventure. You can readily turn to the folks at Bespoke Post for each and every single one of those situations, and then some — the same can be said for the brand the company helped start, Line of Trade.

Learn more now at Bespoke Post

While Line of Trade is now its own fully shoppable brand stocked with Americana classics like chambray shirts, canvas work pants and one of the best shawl cardigans, the great news is, you can still score discounts on Line of Trade menswear at Bespoke Post, which is why we find ourselves looking at one of the best workshirts for men at the top of the page, the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt.

For each of those pursuits mentioned above — from spring adventures to crisp spring outdoor imbibing (Happy Bell’s Oberon Week, my friends!), this durable workshirt rises to the challenge in matters of style and utility.

That’s an ideal thing indeed, because I’d wager you can get plenty of versatile wear out of the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt, all the while resting easy as your new favorite workshirt is marked down about 35 percent.

The Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt is a near-perfect way to bridge the gap from your rotation of winter-ready flannel shirts to much lighter summer shirts in blends like cotton and linen — in fact, this shirt is made from a top-woven shuttle cloth that’s densely fabricated, yet still able to layer comfortably over a pocket T-shirt and beneath your favorite waxed jacket.

All the classic workshirt touches can be found in the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt, including buttoned chest pockets for your everyday carry. The two-piece collar is a handcrafted design touch, while the square back yoke offers ease of movement in tight spots.

Contrast stitching and reinforced pockets meet the moment in matters of form and function, while the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt just so happens to come in a handsome, neutral shade of olive you can style with everything from dark tan canvas work pants to light wash or dark blue denim, or even black jeans alongside burnished Chelsea boots at a dive bar (post-rock show, of course).

Yes indeed, the durably crafted, rugged Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt checks the proper boxes when it comes to spring style essentials and the right mix of utility and great looks. Don’t forget about that discount opportunity either, my friends. Cheers to early spring!

The Sunday Sale: These Durable, On-Sale Forsake Boots from Bespoke Post Are Perfect for Winter Adventures

Best outdoor boots for men.

Especially in these brisk winter months, the focus is almost always on building an outfit from the ground up, or at least, an outfit to take on the elements. Blustery snow drifts, slick city streets and frigid mornings on upstate getaways call for one thing, and one thing only — a pair of the best winter boots, like the kind my friends at Bespoke Post sell.

Or at the very least, you should certainly have your heart set on boots with enough traction and performance to get you from point A to point B when the situation calls for it, and that’s where we step off the trail and into today’s post in earnest.

Shop men’s boots and more at Bespoke Post

And when you really get down to it, those boots had better be waterproof, traction-ready and tough as heck — the good news is, the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots are all of that and then some. Oh, and since this is a Sunday at The Style Guide, they also happen to be on sale — just in the nick of time, right?

While the performance-focused Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots aren’t as insulated as a pair of shearling boots or even some faux-fur or shearling L.L. Bean Boots, they’re a worthy option if there’s not a foot of snow on the ground, especially if your winter pursuits call for sporting adventures and casually rugged style.

They boast the modern appeal of sneakers and the functionality of hiking boots, and it doesn’t hurt that the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots are 40 percent off right now at Bespoke Post — good news indeed for your wallet after the holiday rush, right?

They’re also as functionally minded as it gets, from the taped seams on the leather and heathered textile upper to the durable MultiGrip rubber outsole and compression EVA midsole — talk about comfort and traction to the max, my friends.

For good measure, recycled PET laces and linings add a sustainable touch, and it doesn’t hurt that these boots still boast a rather streamlined profile compared to other hiking boots on the market. Plus, come springtime, the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots will be more than ready to take on that first lovely trail hike when the snow melts — at 40 percent off right now, that doesn’t sound like a bad way to plan for the present or the future, right?

See Now, Buy Now: This Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket Is one of the Best Winter Jackets for Your Wardrobe

Just when you thought you had your winter outerwear rotation squared away in fine form, one of the best new winter jackets rolls onto the scene to shake things up. It’s not just any old jacket — it’s a rugged trucker jacket from Bespoke Post and Line of Trade that should command your attention in frosty temperatures.

It could very well be one of the best trucker jackets on the market, a reliably durable and casual change of pace for when you want to swap out your winter parka for something with more mobility and more detail in mind.

The Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket hits the nail on the head in that regard, neither sacrificing comfort nor warmth in the pursuit of seasonal style. And just ahead of the holiday season, this stylish trucker jacket for men could be a rather wise last-minute gift purchase — the specs, as you’ll see below, are on-point.

Best waxed trucker jackets for men.

Bespoke Post knows a thing or two about hidden gems and about timeless classics in your menswear wardrobe, and the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket qualifies in every which way. It’s built with 100 percent cotton on the exterior that’s then finished with a hard-wearing wax, the kind of fabrication that develops a handsome patina over time.

But in my experience, it’s really the heavyweight cotton plaid flannel lining that takes the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket up a notch (Think: A thicker lining than the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, without overdoing it).

Oversized hip patch pockets and a classic pointed chest pocket drive home the ranch jacket detailing, while brass shank buttons offer maximum utility and dependability. Five color options, from Field Tan to Surplus Olive, provide style options for every taste, and it doesn’t hurt that the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket is priced more than fairly at $158.

Learn more now and shop at Bespoke Post

While it’s certainly not as blizzard-ready as a thick parka, it can serve as a useful, stylish go-between for tailgates, days in the yard or the field, and evenings at your favorite dive bar — I know that’s where I’ll be wearing my Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket, and I’d encourage you to do the same. Cheers to the season, my friends!

Style Pick of the Week: Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Leather Rancher Jacket – Back & Better than Ever

Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Leather Jacket.

Some menswear collaborations, even some of the best menswear partnerships, are so rare that they tend to flash in the pan and never return, arriving for one season and then being whisked away on the wind.

That might seem like hyperbole when it comes to the best menswear essentials, especially ones sold by Bespoke Post, but sometimes, it just so happens to be true — and yet, that’s not the case with the return of the Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket. It takes inspiration from 1930s service jackets, and only gets better from there.

As you might recall, Schott and Bespoke Post teamed up last year on the perfect jacket for fall, and a new edition of one of the best leather jackets for men returns just in time for “shoulder season.” The Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket hits the mark perfectly in terms of an heirloom leather jacket for men, to say the very least.

And as you might expect, it was made specifically for the acclaimed retailer (also a purveyor of some of the best subscription boxes for men, as you know if you read this Brooklyn style blog).

The Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket is American-made from rich roughout leather, the kind with standout texture and durability — a hallmark for decades with Schott, which routinely makes some of the best moto jackets on the market. Antique copper hardware adorns this handsome jacket, which also boasts a chest zipper pocket and handy side hip pockets to store everyday carry essentials aplenty.

The rugged Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket, at least in this year’s new release, boasts a durable contrasting leather collar and a rich, hard-wearing construction, the kind that should feel relatively supple out of the box while breaking in wonderfully over time.

Shop men’s jackets and more at Bespoke Post

And at the splurge-worthy price of $825, it’s a safe bet that you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of your new favorite leather jacket — particularly atop fall style classics like a rugged henley and expertly faded blue jeans.

It’s hard to find one iteration of an iconic leather jacket in a special collaborative build, much less a second edition, but the Bespoke Post x Schott NYC Roughout Leather Rancher Jacket lives up to its billing and then some — find your size while it’s still around, and then proceed to wear it in casually rugged fashion as often as yo ucan.

Inspired by classic workwear styles, the Line of Trade Frank Shirt is the sort of shirt you can reach for any day of the week, one that’s able to pair with everything from classic denim to expertly cut chinos. It doesn’t hurt that its build is tailored and crisp yet easy to wear — it’s not a more formal dress shirt, yet it’s more polished than a polo, for instance.

Made from 100 percent cotton in a variety of versatile colors, it’s the type of piece that simply looks great any way you style it, in any season at all. The choice is yours as to which option you opt for, be it a rich Coffee Herringbone hue or a deep indigo variety, another personal favorite.

Again, either variety of the Line of Trade Frank Shirt wears especially well at the office, on the weekend and every day in between. It toes the line between formal and casual in expert fashion, which in my experience is always something great to have in your closet.

Style Pick of the Week: Line of Trade Mason Short-Sleeve Shirt – A Winning Summer Move from Bespoke Post

Bespoke Post men's shirt review.

In my experience, your summer #OOTD and your summer wardrobe in general need a wardrobe workhorse or two, pieces built with versatility and a no-fuss, no-frills approach. These pieces, like one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts or one of the best USA-made T-shirts, are simple on the surface, yet made with versatility and durability in mind.

Take the Line of Trade Mason Short-Sleeve Shirt. It hails from Bespoke Post, purveyors of one of the best subscription boxes for men — as well as a full line of easygoing, easily wearable men’s style essentials.

It’s somewhere between a casually rugged pocket T-shirt and a slightly more formal polo or an Oxford shirt. That makes it perfect for in-between days this summer, like a BBQ — layered over a classic T-shirt — or a day at your favorite brewery (styled on its own alongside the best chino shorts for men).

The key with the Line of Trade Mason Short-Sleeve Shirt? Its textured waffle weave, which gives it some depth, plus a laidback look and feel. Workwear button chest pockets give it a more rugged feel as well, not unlike an old-school shop shirt.

Line of Trade men's shirt review.

The weave of the Line of Trade Mason Short-Sleeve Shirt itself is also a two-tone weave, so it stands out stylishly, even in a darker color (like the navy option shown here). And as with all things Bespoke Post, it features a reliable build and quality at a very agreeable price.

In fact, the Line of Trade Mason Short-Sleeve Shirt retails for $65, a fair price considering that you can even wear it as a casual shirt beneath a soft-shouldered summer blazer. The benefit of that particular move? Staying cool in the heat by shedding some extra fabric.

However you choose to wear the Line of Trade Mason Short-Sleeve Shirt, it’s yet another Bespoke Post menswear essential that gets the job done in matters of form and function.
