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.

The Sunday Sale: Bespoke Post Is Now Offering a Discount on these Rugged SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots

Best sneaker boots for men.

Stepping from one season from the next — from late summer into very early fall — is often as simple as making your transition from the ground up.

So while items like classic blue jeans and a sturdy henley are men’s style essentials well-suited for multiple seasons, it’s sometimes a wise move to work a pair of rugged leather boots (or in this case, stylish sneaker boots) back into your rotation slowly but surely — as summer wanes and fall approaches, of course. And there might not be a pair of men’s sneaker boots as well suited for the moment at hand as the SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots.

As you might recall if you read this Brooklyn style blog frequently, Bespoke Post and SeaVees teamed up on the perfect pair of men’s winter boots at the end of 2023 – as luck would have it, select pairs of the handsome SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots are still up for grabs as summer draws to a close.

Shop men’s footwear and more at Bespoke Post

The SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots are now 50 percent off, with sizes going fast in two exclusive Bespoke Post colorways, designs that the upstart NYC retailer says were “inspired by the SeaVees ‘60s-era “California cool,” reflecting the shared commitment to quality and innovation from both companies.

The result? An on-sale pair of rugged, adventure-ready footwear that starts with a durable oiled leather upper blended with water-resistant Ventile cotton canvas. The SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots also boast a hard-wearing natural rubber lug outsole for maximum traction on hiking trails, rocky coastline and dewy fall morning grass, while eye-catching touches like rawhide leather laces finish off the dependable SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots in stylish fashion.

The design takes its cues from SeaVees’ popular Mammoth and Mariner Boots, but features touches exclusive to Bespoke Post, including an embossed heel logo. With an ankle-high design and sturdy construction, these hard-working boots are well-suited for everything from late summer yard work to early fall tailgates and brewery beers.

And for 50 percent off right now, it’s almost an imperative that you score a pair of the SeaVees Sierra Adventure Boots while they’re still around (although take heed, since sizes are rolling away quickly). Welcome the season at hand from the ground up, as we’ve said, and you’ll be more ready for fall than ever before.

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.

York Athletics Mfg. Henry Runners review.

The York Athletics Henry Runners use a soft jersey knit upper set atop a rubber outsole and a springy EVA foam base, while a polyurethane foam lining also delivers support and rebound. Better still is the fact that the supremely comfortable, workout-ready York Athletics Henry Runners turn into more of a lifestyle sneaker, thanks to the vintage runner-style design and the back leather pull tab.

See Now, Buy Now: This Bespoke Post x Timex Field Watch Is A Retro-Tinged, Instant Classic

Is it too commonplace to say they don’t make ’em like they used to? Or at least, not as often in the world of men’s style essentials, and certainly not nearly as often when it comes down to the best watches for men, like the handsome, rugged and pleasingly retro Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch as shown above.

Find out more at Bespoke Post

The just-launched Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is a prime example of what happens when two iconic companies put their heads together on a reinvented classic. Timex has, of course, been ticking along for more than a century when it comes to timekeeping, and they’re a reliable and highly stylish watch brand, in my experience.

And on the other side of the coin, Bespoke Post is a bonafide 21st-century favorite as far as the best online menswear shops are concerned — they’ve unearthed now-classic brands, they’ve helped you (and this writer!) refine your everyday carry and your daily haul, and they’ve put their own spin on everything from the waxed trucker jacket to the pocket tee and now, the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch.

Bespoke Post x TImex Field Watch.

These days, the new debut of a Timex watch comes with great fanfare — the brand has collaborations with the likes of Todd Snyder to show for its recent revamp over the last decade. And true to form, the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch nods to the impressive Timex archive while carving its own space in your watch game rotation. The Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch takes its cues from 1970s-era Viscount watches, right down to its 36mm case size.

Bespoke Post x Timex Field Watch review.

The Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch features a mix of crisp, retro yellow, white and red markings on its three-ring dial, and those colors contrast handsomely and in rugged fashion with the olive green CORDURA strap. In my experience testing this watch, the casually cool Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch wears as easily with a polo and stretch chino shorts as it does with a pocket tee and light wash jeans.

Find your new favorite watch at Bespoke Post

Suffice to say, it could just become one of the most versatile yet casual watches in your arsenal. And yet, like other selections from Timex as it crafts one of the best watches for men, the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is highly affordable.

Snag the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch while it’s still around for just $159 at Bespoke Post. It doesn’t get much better than that, and I think you’ll find the Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is one of the best men’s watches to buy now, folks. Happy shopping.

The Sunday Sale: Save 50 Percent On This Essential Quilted Chore Coat from Bespoke Post & Line of Trade

Best men's chore coats for spring.

The right tools for the job, if the job is dressing stylishly yet functionally for spring, shouldn’t be overlooked — not least when blustery, brisk weather threatens. And even if a spring day starts out pleasantly enough, it can quickly take a turn.

What’s a well-dressed fella such as yourself to do? The answer is easy: Head to Bespoke Post to score some new spring menswear, take the problem out before it becomes a problem, and do so by layering up in rugged, functional, fashionable style. With spring style essentials at the ready, the quest gets all the easier, and — as I always tend to say on this Brooklyn style blog — if those style essentials happen to be on sale, that’s all the better.

And today’s discount is one not to be missed: Savings of 50 percent — yes, 50 percent, with plenty of sizes available — on a rugged chore coat built with plenty of useful bells and whistles. The chore coat hails from Line of Trade, the all-American brand first started by Bespoke Post and now operating on its own accord (as you might have seen from previous Line of Trade reviews on this blog).

The brand has a deep respect for Americana heritage style, from ridiculously warm trucker jackets to soft flannel shirts, sturdy-yet-supple sweaters and now, the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat as seen on this blog. The Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat takes the traditional chore coat construction (in this case featuring a four-button front) and turns it on its head slightly with a more lightweight, all-ripstop construction that’s more than suited to repel wind and rain.

Traditional patch pockets — with a twist — round out the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat (note the notched corners for more shape and durability). As Bespoke Post notes, this dashing chore coat features vertical quilting for a finish that’s streamlined, not bulky, while still delivering warmth when layered over a thermal henley and chambray shirt.

The details are finished to perfection, from the rivets on the front patch pockets to an interior right chest pocket for more everyday carry storage space.

Shop the best new spring gear ASAP at Bespoke Post

Given the utility and rugged good looks you’re getting out of the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat, it’s almost a wonder it’s a remarkable 50 percent off right now. Stop your search early for your next must-have spring chore coat, because the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat fits the bill perfectly.

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!
