Style Pick of the Week: Sea Culture Brand Montauk HWY Trucker Jacket – A Casually Rugged New Favorite

If you’ve been swinging by this very blog as you search high and low for essential winter menswear, the kind of pieces you can layer up with to get out there and get after it, then you’re in luck.

The upstate New York company uses soft, sustainable fabrics and A-plus, classic-meets-modern designs to dream up everything from one of the best men’s henleys to the perfect men’s jacket for spring, and they’ve taken things a step further this winter. That’s apparent with the recent introduction of the Sea Culture Montauk HWY Trucker Jacket, which plays off the timeless style of the trucker jacket and ramps things up with winter comfort and style in mind.

Best trucker jacket for men.

The Sea Culture Montauk HWY Trucker Jacket starts off simply enough, with a handsome, worn-in twill cotton fabric exterior in a deep, versatile navy color. This rugged trucker jacket is then beefed up with an interior 100 percent polyester liner for quilted warmth. The fact that the lining of the Sea Culture Montauk HWY Trucker Jacket is a contrasting, stylish red is a nice touch, as is the branded upper-sleeve patch for vintage style.

Accordingly, Sea Culture Brand also made sure the details were on point, including side slash hip pockets and front chest pockets for your everyday carry. But the coolest part about the Sea Culture Montauk HWY Trucker Jacket is the vintage-inspired, chain stitch detailing on the back, calling out Montauk’s famed waterfront in a seriously cool manner.

It’s one of my personal favorite details of this stylish casual jacket, but its warmth and functionality doesn’t hurt, either. Branded buttons and easy-access zip front really drive home the idea that this is a highly useful winter jacket that doesn’t skimp on style points either, so give this brand a good look as you plan out your next winter #OOTD.

Best men's bomber jacket for winter

What exactly do you get when two standout brands team up on a reimagined version of a legendary winter jacket? Well, in short, the answer is the impossibly rugged and seriously cool Eddie Bauer x Huckberry Skyliner Jacket, an exclusive revamp of one of the best men’s jackets for winter — one that you can only get via the legendary gear purveyors at Huckberry, of course. It’s a collaboration that makes perfect sense on paper, given Eddie Bauer’s storied history of outfitting alpine explorers and Huckberry‘s more recent focus on making some of the coolest gear for men — period.

And now, it’s all coming to fruition with the Eddie Bauer x Huckberry Skyliner Jacket, which blends the bomber jacket silhouette with a water-resistant, lightweight shell and warm 800-fill power down insulation (remember, the higher the down rating, the warmer the jacket). The rugged Eddie Bauer x Huckberry Skyliner Jacket is the best of all worlds, with durability and tough style to spare in spades.

Best men's winter jacket to buy now.

For good measure, the Eddie Bauer x Huckberry Skyliner Jacket comes in a rich color that’s exclusive to Huckberry. That shade of tan is kind that would look exceptionally stylish paired with some of the best men’s blue jeans and matched up with either the best men’s Chelsea boots or some of the most rugged winter boots. As if that wasn’t enough, the Eddie Bauer x Huckberry Skyliner Jacket is lined in flannel for added warmth, then finished off with hip hand warmer pockets and an internal zip pocket for your EDC.

It’s got the goods to be the sort of casually rugged jacket you wear just about everywhere this season, but especially through casual winter weekends (again, it deserves to be paired up with the best blue jeans for men). Sizes of the exclusive Eddie Bauer x Huckberry Skyliner Jacket are going quickly, so score your new favorite winter jacket right now.

One of two seriously cool colorways you’re getting from Bonobos here.

For one thing, it really does what all of the best winter jackets for men should set out to do — provide warmth and comfort without any fuss. The wool exterior is a perfect match for the quilted nylon interior. The nylon quilting is going to deliver warmth and even a cool bit of visual interest. The fit of this classic bomber jacket for men should also provide plenty of room for layering, even if you go with an Oxford shirt underneath a rugged crewneck sweater for durable winter warmth.

And of course, the two color options (the sharp Black-and-White Herringbone or the more fashion-forward Heather Oatmeal) provide something for everyone when it comes classically cool looks. Side-entry hip pockets also double as front-snap pockets for your everyday carry essentials, yet this jacket still looks sleek and sharp overall. Of course, it wears extremely well with other staple pieces, be it Bonobos chinos  or Bonobos blue jeans (both worthy of your consideration). At the end of the day, the Bonobos Wool Bomber Jacket is going to turn what you thought of this pants-centric brand upside down, and in the best way possible.
