The Tuesday Steal: Save More Than 30 Percent on this Handsome Bespoke Post Sweater

Bespoke Post Line of Trade review.

We’ve talked a lot lately here on this seasonal style blog about the best way for guys to dress for the holidays, and if you feel like you’re running out of time to shore up a few seasonal ‘fits, you’re certainly in luck.

That’s because our friends at Bespoke Post are here to save the day with some standout savings on one of the best sweaters for men, all just a few clicks away at the Bespoke Post Sale section.

As you might have guessed from the top of the page, it’s prime time for seasonal layering in all its many forms, including the chance to shake up your regular rotation of office-ready V-neck sweaters, casual crewneck sweaters and even refined-yet-rugged shawl cardigans.

The Line of Trade Bergen Birdseye Sweater does all of this and then some, retaining the versatile hallmarks of the V-neck, the eye-catching appeal of the cardigan (thanks to its birdseye pattern) and the wear-with-anything appeal of the crewneck. And crucially, it does all this while being more than 40 percent off (in select sizes) as of press time. How’s that for seasonal savings you can count on, ehh?

Billed by Line of Trade, the in-house brand at Bespoke Post, as a “modern crewneck with old-school roots,” the sweater’s cotton-blend build should make it more than adequate for comfortable layering, while the jacquard pattern boasts old-school roots.

It’s simple, subtle and stylish, as wearable underneath a waxed trucker jacket as it is on its own with an Oxford shirt underneath — Old Fashioned in hand, of course. That sounds like more than a fair way to amp up your holiday sweater rotation in style right now, my friends. Cheers to that!

See Now, Buy Now: This Line of Trade Flannel Shirt is Perfect for Every Winter Pursuit

Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt review.

If today’s headline made you do a double take, you’re likely not alone: We’re talking all about Line of Trade, but in a different capacity than before. You very likely recognize Line of Trade from the digital shelves of NYC retailer Bespoke Post, which trumpets small businesses, stylish subscription boxes of its own, and the coolest gear for men across the board.

That focus on American classics — from slinging T-shirts and flannel shirts to selling cool-as-heck valet trays, decanters and more — led the Bespoke Post team to form Line of Trade, and it’s now all grown up, so to speak.

You see, you can score rugged, classically cool menswear online right from the brand itself, a great excuse to revamp and re-up your winter wardrobe — starting with the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt. Yes indeed, it’s great a time as any to get properly acquainted with the rugged, all-American retailer.

Line of Trade menswear review.

The company believes in menswear that’s built to last, not in chasing trends, and you can see that reflected right away in products like the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, plus a full lineup of best-sellers. Those best-selling menswear essentials include items like trucker jackets, sherpa jackets, heavyweight T-shirts and even a versatile pair of officer chinos modeled after old-school military pairs.

The great news is, the richly crafted Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt fits right in with each of those men’s style must-haves, especially in the cold climes of winter. The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, made from an exclusive pattern in super-soft, 100 percent cotton flannel, is a prized piece in my own wardrobe.

In one of several richly crafted patterns and colors, it’s got the ability to be worn on its own underneath a soft-shouldered blazer, or else atop a thermal henley. That pairing works well alongside, say, one of the brand’s waxed trucker jackets. It’s got a pleasing light weight to it — this isn’t a shirt jacket, but a flannel shirt you can layer comfortably beneath a hearty top layer.

A left chest patch pocket keeps things classic, while the length is perfect to wear untucked alongside your favorite pair of blue jeans (as I often do). If you’ve been hunting for a new favorite flannel shirt, one you can layer casually or dress up ever so slightly, and one that you can buy in bulk, so to speak, then I can confidently say the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is your best bet this week.

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.

Every guy’s style rotation can stand to use a good use of easily wearable, goes-with-anything pieces, like the Line of Trade Frank Shirt.

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.

Don’t discount the need for style essentials you can turn to at a moment’s notice, this shirt very much included. Pair it with your favorite faded jeans, with crisp dark blue denim, with tan or olive chinos and leather boots, or even with stretch chino shorts — it can handle it all, and then some. In my experience, the Line of Trade Frank Shirt is a surefire style winner, one that’s sure to stand the test of time.

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.

The Thursday Buy: This Bespoke Post Flannel Shirt is An Everyday Winter Must-Have

Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt review.

Perhaps through reading this blog and building your perfect wardrobe of menswear essentials, you’re well-acquainted with the reliable power of style classics. Be it the blue jean, one of my favorite henleys or the right pair of rugged leather boots, these are picks that I turn to on the daily, and perhaps you, like me, love it when you find a style that checks all the right boxes.

Take one of the top flannel shirts for men, for instance. The market is crowded with options these days from heritage-minded brands, especially in iconic plaid patterns aplenty, but what about when you want to hit those classic menswear notes in a way that’s a bit more fresh?

Best men's winter flannel shirts.

Still with me here? I’m talking about a streamlined, soft-as-can-be, stylish flannel shirt like the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt from my friends at Bespoke Post.

What sets this shirt apart from the best men’s flannel shirts on the market? It comes in two distinct, solid colors with pleasing texture (a Grey Heather and a Sand Heather option), giving it a bit more versatility than a plaid flannel shirt, for instance (although Bespoke Post does a standout job of selling those, too). When you want an elevated flannel shirt, the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is a prime move in my book.

Learn more now and shop at Bespoke Post

The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, like other items from Bespoke Post’s in-house Line of Trade brand, is also very fairly priced at below $70. In fact, that’s an understatement, as this shirt is a downright steal for its super-soft contrast weave cotton fabric.

It also forgoes the buttondown collar of some other more casual flannel shirts, meaning this option would fit right in beneath a handsome blazer at the office. That’s only the beginning, because this shirt also works especially well with other classics in rugged fashion (like a pair of blue jeans or the aforementioned henley). For a timeless flannel shirt that checks all the right boxes in a new-yet-classic way, head on over to Bespoke Post, my friends.

Yes indeed, Bespoke Post is one of my go-to spots for holiday gift-giving, and again, it should prove much the same in your neck of the woods. As I wrap up my shopping (and start on wrapping!), I’ll be spending some much-needed time with family in Florida, relaxing, taking in the sunshine and enjoying a cold local beer from Point Ybel Brewing, per tradition.

What’s on your holiday slate? Here are a few choice reads to get you in the holiday spirit before Christmas Day dawns.

  • If you’ve been dealing with frigid winter weather, then here’s an option sure to help you sort things out: Head over to Maxim to check out my latest menswear guide, this one on the best parkas for winter. From purely functional to super-luxe, winter weather won’t stand in your way this season.
  • Right here on the blog, I covered a crucial, yet sometimes overlooked, style need — the need to step into the best boot socks for winter before you can put on a pair of your favorite leather boots. So, I took a deeper dive into WORN Brand Socks, a company I’ve been testing out back in Brooklyn these past few weeks — trust me, your feet will certainly thank you.
  • Allow me to make one last men’s style pick from Bespoke Post: Earlier this week, I wrote about how to save 30 percent on one of the best denim shirts from the famed NYC retailer, and this deal is still sticking around (just in time for rugged winter looks, yessir).

In the spirit of letting you get on with your holiday festivities, shopping, wrapping and imbibing, I’m closing up shop on today’s post. Hopefully, you found some style inspiration from the selections above. If not, well, we’ll be back here tomorrow and Sunday for my Style Pick of the Week, as well as some Christmas Eve savings via the Sunday Sale. In the meantime, thanks as ever for reading and stay stylish!
