The Flint and Tinder Classic Chore Coat boasts corozo buttons, in this case in a shade that matches this on-sale, Chocolate Brown number. Pair it wisely and stylishly with everything from natural-hued chinos to light wash jeans or dark indigo denim, or else with olive chinos and a crisp white Oxford shirt, for instance.

Don’t overlook the wearability of the easygoing-yet-tough chore coat, especially one on sale from our friends at Huckberry.

The Tuesday Steal: This Bonobos British Waxed Field Jacket is One of the Jackets On Sale Right Now

Best waxed jackets for men.

What’s a guy to look for in one of the best spring jackets for men? It’s high time to start thinking about the season upon us in just a few short weeks, especially as we gradually shift from the thick-knit wool jackets, durable peacoats, highly functional parkas and streamlined puffer jackets.

It starts with a focus on both lighter-weight performance and rugged reliability, both of which you can score in spades via one of the best field jackets for men — toss in some stylish savings from one of your favorite online retailers, and you might say we’re cookin’ with gas, all thanks to Bonobos and the Bonobos Sale section.

Yes indeed, the brand that cut its teeth on making some of the very best chinos for men — nearly perfecting the approach in the process, all at an affordable price — has become so much more in the years since then (even if the brand has found itself sold to a larger parent company multiple times in recent years). In my experience, the same Bonobos commitment to affordable quality remains — from outerwear to soft cotton T-shirts, a range of soft stretch denim and of course, high-quality dress and casual trousers.

And yet, if you want a company that does a little bit of everything, from sleek chinos to expertly cut Oxford shirts, sleek Italian-inspired tailoring and more rugged outerwear like the Bonobos British Waxed Field Jacket, then you might say you’re very much in luck.

Available right now for a whopping 50 percent off, the Bonobos British Waxed Field Jacket is billed by the brand as an “elevated take on the field jacket,” complete with the kind of British Millerain waxed cotton construction trusted by the very best in the business. That fabrication resists rain and wind, while its inner stand-up (or lay-flat) collar is lined with classic corduroy for a timeless touch.

A storm flap placket offers additional protection from the spring elements, while a zipper front offers a customizable fit as you layer up the Bonobos British Waxed Field Jacket over Oxford shirting, a thermal henley or a simple-as-can-be graphic T-shirt, to name but a few style choices with this highly affordable men’s spring jacket.

A drawcord interior waistband further offers a customizable, reliable fit, while Bonobos finished off this jacket with an eye-catching fabric inner lining, not unlike the lining of the pockets on its famed chinos. Four large front pockets provide crucial everyday carry storage in classically rugged field jacket fashion.

It very well might be harder to find a better deal on a durable field jacket for spring right now than the Bonobos British Waxed Field Jacket, but take heed: Sizes are selling quickly via the Bonobos Sale section, so act accordingly to get your hands on potentially your new favorite spring jacket.

The Sunday Sale: This Line of Trade Welder’s Jacket Is As Good As It Gets, and It’s On Sale at Bespoke Post

Mining the past for heritage style inspiration is always a wise move in terms of rugged appeal and classic good looks, is it not?

The Line of Trade Suede Welder’s Jacket uses a snap button front and large snap hip pockets for easy mobility and storage potential aplenty for any tools of your own trade. The foldover tab collar is a rugged touch that offers a further dash of utility, while articulated elbows and double-needle stitching deliver both durability and performance where you need it the most.

The Thursday Buy: Mott and Bow Is Now Making A Suede Trucker Jacket to Go With Your Favorite Jeans

There are certain tried-and-true menswear combinations that make perfect sense, that stand out stylishly while standing the test of time. And when you kick off one of those pairings starting with a pair of the best jeans for men — perhaps a pair made by our friends at Mott and Bow — the results are bound to be stylish, utterly classic and effortlessly cool.

Yes, that’s high praise, but as seems to be the case these days, a brand like Mott and Bow no longer just makes the best men’s jeans, but an entire supporting cast of menswear essentials that can cement your ideal #menswear ensemble pairing. In fact, the brand produces a range of complementary pieces, from super-soft T-shirts in long-sleeve and short-sleeve varieties to sweaters, polos and even shorts and swimwear.

Past Mott and Bow reviews on this site have covered everything from stylish travel pants to the brand’s remarkably classic denim in both Italian cotton and other materials, and the Mott and Bow Suede Trucker Jacket is simply the latest must-buy piece from the ever-popular direct-to-consumer brand.

It’s quite simply all in the details when it comes to the Mott and Bow Suede Trucker Jacket, which is crafted from 100 percent genuine goat suede leather in a rich shade of Olive that should style nicely with dark blue jeans, expertly faded grey or light wash denim, or black jeans from the modern direct-to-consumer brand.

Those are the kind of savings that can’t be beat in my book, especially as far as the best trucker jackets for men are concerned. The Mott and Bow Suede Trucker Jacket could prove a new favorite in your rotation, so act accordingly while it’s still on sale. Cheers to that, my friends.

The Friday Find: Bolster Your Jacket Roster with this Stylish Plaid Number from Patrick James

We like to keep things moving and grooving at this Brooklyn style blog — that is to say, the name of the game today is still winter outerwear and one of the best winter jackets for men, but viewed in a bit of a different light from a brand that knows a thing or two about refined menswear and comfort.

So while it can be essential to keep a thick puffer jacket or a tried-and-true peacoat at the ready, some casually rugged options (yet fashioned with durable, ultra-soft fabric) are also a prime addition to your wardrobe. Take Patrick James, the long-running California menswear purveyor (since 1962, in fact) and the Patrick James Dolomine Plaid Cord Jacket. It’s a bit of a different take on a rugged winter jacket, with the same classic plaid build as you’ll find on the best shirt jackets and flannel shirts for men, for instance.

But a closer look reveals points of distinction and comfort any guy you should be glad to have close at hand — especially as winter’s chill keeps sticking around. The Patrick James Dolomine Plaid Cord Jacket (which just so happens to be 30 percent off right now) is the perfect sort of pick for our Friday Find series — just different enough, but familiar in all the right ways. In fact, the Patrick James Dolomine Plaid Cord Jacket boasts a rich Italian-made wool blend structure to go along with that utterly timeless plaid pattern.

Here’s where it gets a bit different with the Patrick James Dolomine Plaid Cord Jacket: Note the corduroy collar and cuffs, touches typically found on waxed barn coats or field coats from iconic brands like Barbour (for instance).

Two button flap chest pockets and eye-catching angled hip pockets deliver warmth for your digits and space for your everyday carry, to round this jacket out in fine form indeed. Feel free to layer the Patrick James Dolomine Plaid Cord Jacket atop a chambray shirt or even an Oxford shirt in place of a blazer based on the weather at hand — winter style classics with just a touch different about ’em have never been more within your reach.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed Jacket Is Your Next Go-Anywhere Casual Layer

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket review.

If there’s one thing on my mind every time I step out into the snowy streets of Brooklyn, it’s the need — a deep need — for a darn good, tough-as-nails, hard-wearing winter coat these days. Not just any coat meets that mantle — the best winter jackets for men need to layer with ease, fight off wind and sleet, and look good while doing it — in casually rugged fashion, of course.

And while your rotation of the best winter menswear probably has a durable parka or a puffer jacket at the very minimum, rugged versatility and variety is never a bad thing. In fact, every guy can use a stable of options as far the best men’s winter jackets are concerned — and as I always say, if you can find one up for grabs at a discount within the confines of, say, the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, you should certainly make haste.

That brings us to a seasonal layering staple, one you can wear well into spring when the snow finally tapers off: That’d be the hard-working, sleek Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket, just the latest foray into the best waxed jackets for men from the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder. It’s the best of all worlds, I say, as you shop the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, between the combination of rugged, durable staples, winter style points, functionality and savings — and this dependable, casual sits nicely at the cross-section of those categories, does it not?

The Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket looks like the kind of grab-and-go jacket every guy can use, more capable at repelling wind and rain than a nylon puffer jacket, and every bit as streamlined for casually rugged fashion (Think: Atop blue jeans and a chambray shirt or thermal henley on “balmy” days, and atop a fisherman sweater as temperatures plummet).

Billed by Huckberry itself as a “waxed canvas puffer that’s a city slicker by day and cabin dweller by the weekend,” it’s also finished off internally with recycled Primaloft insulation and useful details like a stand-up collar and welt-snap hip pockets (plus an interior chest pocket) for your ever-critical daily carry.

And while sizes of the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket are going fast in certain colors, there are more than enough options in highly neutral, easily wearable colors like Grey or Olive. And for the perfect fit, the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket even features snap wrist cuffs and adjustable side tabs based on how much mobility your next winter adventure calls for. At a prime savings of 40 percent off (marked down to $178 from $298), this handsome waxed jacket is an effortless winter layer packed with performance — trust me on that, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: This Lightweight Relwen Puffer Jacket Is a Discounted Style Find at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale

It should come as no surprise that the main topic of the day, the hour, the moment is the cold weather still gripping the country — right? What’s a guy to do? The answer’s proven simple, at least according to the editor and writer of this Brooklyn style blog: Head to Huckberry to stock up on the best gear for men, and shop the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale for the next handful of days in the process.

As we’ve talked about in recent days, the simply stellar Huckberry Annual Winter Sale is packed with all kinds of durable, rugged and classic adventure gear for the modern man. And in the interest of time, there’s at least one stylish men’s winter jacket you should be shopping at a serious discount: The Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is the best of the best at what the Ohio-based makers at Relwen do, at least in my experience.

The company leans on heritage styles like the hiker-approved down jacket as inspiration for the coolest, most useful and modern gear of today.

That’s lofty praise, but I’d wager that in terms of lightweight performance, the Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket definitely punches above its weight, and then some (better still is the fact that the hard-wearing Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is discounted down to $243 from $348 — savings and style rolled into one functional package, my friends. Weighing in at a mere 9.3 oz., the outdoor gear company notes this sleek yet ultra-warm jacket is already “the lightest winter-ready Relwen jacket ever,” built with handy details like a two-way center front zipper and three pockets for your everyday carry.

The placket is even reinforced with herringbone for improved durability, while plastic snaps offer quiet performance, Relwen notes. Meanwhile, a reinforced collar teams nicely with a stand-up design for comfort and protection from the wind. It’s but one of many must-shop discounts within the digital pages of the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, but it could prove the most useful and dependable at offering standout protection from the cold. Try one on for size while options are available in one of four retro-minded colors, my friends. Good luck out there, and as ever, stay stylish.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket – A New Take on a Style Icon

Flint and Tinder menswear review.

Out of all the classic menswear on the market — or at least, classic silhouettes made modern — there’s a reason the best of the best truly stand the test of time and look great while doing so. It’s something we talk about plenty here on this style blog, especially as it relates to layering up for the brisk temperatures at hand out there, out in the field.

Of course, as you might have guessed, that’s where Huckberry menswear can deliver the right blend of rugged appeal, timeless style, durability and good looks to boot.

Throw in the fact that one of those styles on offer is the newly introduced Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket, and you’ve got a recipe for rugged, layered up winter style success aplenty.

While this jacket has much to live up to compared to iconic Flint and Tinder waxed jackets, it’s a safe bet that the rugged, Americana-inspired in-house brand at Huckberry is up to the challenge — that includes everything from the brand’s utterly soft T-shirts to its expertly faded blue jeans.

Now, I’d wager that the Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket should live up to that dependable, stylish billing in every way possible.

The Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket takes its cues from the very best of the old-school best, as Huckberry says this hard-wearing jacket is “a traditional barn coat designed for everyday wear,” then upgraded with a modern fit and fabrication.

Built with a stretch cotton blend and finished with a traditional corduroy collar and cuffs, it’s timeless in every way possible, featuring a riveted chest pocket, a button-flap right-side chest pocket and drop-in patch front hip pockets, all the better to stow and haul your everyday carry essentials.

The Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket features a button front and adjustable button cuffs for a customizable fit, while this handsome barn coat manages to get the details utterly correct across both of its earthy, timeless color options.

On that note, I’m personally a fan of the versatility of the Dark Olive color shown here, although Light Khaki would wear remarkably well come spring with light wash jeans.

The use of stretch cotton throughout means this durable barn jacket boasts a more lightweight feel than other winter jackets, so feel free to layer it atop a crewneck sweatshirt or a thick thermal henley and chambray shirt.

For rugged style points and utility you can rely on day after day, opt for a new favorite like the Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket — your wardrobe will thank you later.

The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket Is a Bold Update to a Workwear Classic

Best denim jackets for men.

It’s oftentimes difficult to deliver an update to a true classic, is it not? Think of the toughest, sturdiest denim jackets, the ones that truly harken back to yesteryear — they’re just a touch hard to find these days, are they not? Or at least, a new crop of the best denim jackets for men can prove difficult to find at a fair price, and that’s where Taylor Stitch can change your fortunes this season.

The right denim jacket is plenty sturdy and durable, crafted with the good stuff (in this case, organic cotton denim — more on that in a second), and if you’re in the right climate, you can layer it up accordingly right now, and then keep it handy to rock with lighter fare in the spring. Believe me, friends: It’s a move well-suited to both now and the future of your menswear wardrobe.

Yes indeed, the newly introduced Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket looks to iconic styles of days gone by, then spins things up with a uniquely Taylor Stitch twist — what a way to kick off a new year in style, ehh?

The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket might be packed with sturdy bells and whistles, but certainly not in a bad way — like the handsome, rugged and effortlessly cool Taylor Stitch Mariner Peacoat (which I’ve also covered as part of my Taylor Stitch reviews on this men’s style blog), this denim jacket honors the classics while feeling entirely fresh and modern to wear.

Best denim jackets for men.

The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket gets its durability from sturdy yet supple organic cotton selvedge denim in a hard-wearing 14oz. fabric weight (akin to that of your favorite selvedge jeans but perhaps with more heft). The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket is then left unlined, so take heed and layer it over a thick thermal henley, a cozy flannel shirt or a trusty fisherman sweater in colder temperatures.

Unlike other denim jackets, which rely on a button front, the Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket features a YKK zipper and sturdy contrasting hardware, plus slanted hip pockets — like the classic trucker jackets of days gone by.

The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket is finished with the right details as only Taylor Stitch can, like a leather back patch at the neckline, a chest pocket with an ultra-handy pen slot, and zig-zag stitching beneath its highly durable collar. If you want the durability of a tough denim jacket with a look all its own, then the handsome and modern Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket is your best bet this season (and well beyond, of course).
