The Thursday Buy: These Black Twill Jeans from Buck Mason Are a New Modern Classic

When I build out my own menswear wardrobe, as I often say, I tend to look for menswear essentials I can wear consistently, season after season and year after year. That means looking towards a brand like Buck Mason, one I’ve loved for years and one that specializes in a bit of everything, from the best pocket tee to rugged denim shirting and of course, the stylish black jeans you see at the top of the page.

And to me, the new Buck Mason Roper Twill Jeans are already a modern classic, despite the fact that they just popped up in the Buck Mason New Arrivals section. How about that, ehh? If you’ve tried Buck Mason men’s jeans, you know that they offer fits like Maverick (a slimmer cut) and the Ford cut (the cut you’ll find on your new favorite pair of black jeans here).

That fit is crucial, as they’ve already nailed the rest of the details: A timeless five-pocket design, a tapered leg and a straight fit through the hip. Of course, things only get better from there.

The key with this pair of jeans also lies in the fabric itself: Unlike other jeans, which feature either 100 percent cotton or cotton blended with elastane, the Buck Mason Roper Twill Jeans feature a nicely designed 9.5oz cotton and rayon twill blend for a super-soft finish.

In fact, rayon is the same fabric traditionally used in soft, breezy Hawaiian shirts, so the Buck Mason Roper Twill Jeans should move easily and feel super-comfortable all day long.

Plus, the Buck Mason Roper Twill Jeans have been garment-washed for additional softness, yet they’ll still retain the stylish edge of classic black jeans. And naturally, they pair well with a wide array of all-American styles from the rest of the Buck Mason line. Buy ’em now to wear with a short-sleeve henley, then keep ’em close at hand to style with a classic flannel shirt come fall. Buck Mason always comes through, folks.

The list of positive attributes when it comes to the Mott and Bow Staple Jeans is quite long, starting with the fact that you can get ’em in three reliable fits (Skinny, Slim and Straight).

Shop Mott and Bow men’s jeans

Of course, the Mott and Bow Staple Jeans also come in three highly wearable shades, from a razor-sharp Dark Blue (ideal for wearing to the office with a herringbone blazer and an Oxford shirt this winter) to a more casual Medium Blue iteration. The secret behind these jeans, though, is the fabric. It’s been a key focus since Mott and Bow launched nearly a decade ago, and in this instance, they’ve used Italian cotton denim with dynamic stretch for a highly comfortable yet crisp fit and feel. The overall fabric weight on the Mott and Bow Staple Jeans is 11.5oz., which is solid yet feels more lightweight thanks to the stretch factor (2 percent elastane and 6 percent polyester). For the Straight Fit Mott and Bow Staple Jeans, waist sizes run up to 42, with inseam sizes up to 34 at the time of this writing.

And they wouldn’t be the best jeans for men without the sort of wear-with-anything versatility you won’t find with just any brand.

See Now, Buy Now: The Mott and Bow Broome Jeans are the Best Men’s Jeans for Summer

Does the idea of wearing jeans in the summer sound unappealing? If I may, that could just be because you haven’t found some of the best jeans for men in the form of Mott and Bow men’s denim. To get even more specific, the lightweight and stretch-filled Mott and Bow Broome Jeans are the perfect pair of jeans to wear for summer, especially if you’re the type of person who simply can’t stop wearing denim (guilty as charged). You’ve very likely read all about Mott and Bow here on the blog through the years. The brand has been a longtime favorite, makers of everything from classic blue jeans to surprisingly stylish men’s chinos, and then some. The Mott and Bow Broome Denim, so named for Broome Street in a nod to the brand’s NYC roots, carry on the upstart denim brand’s focus on quality and accessibility, to say the very least. And again, if you’re the type of person who simply loves to wear denim on the daily, then you’re in luck.

Mott and Bow has, after all, been making some of the best men’s jeans for years now, and they’ve perfected the right blend of quality and value. That’s probably an understatement, but it does shine through indeed with the Mott and Bow Broome Jeans. It all starts with the fabric, a 12.8oz. stretch denim that gets a boost through 360-degree, four-way stretch technology. That sort of stretch is going to make these jeans buoyant, not heavy, and it’s going to allow you to get around on the go in style. For guys who love wearing jeans even through the hot summer months, every bit of comfort is essential. Of course, it also helps that Mott and Bow makes stylish men’s T-shirts in ultra-lightweight fabrics, because a T-shirt and jeans on a hot summer day is about as all-American as it gets.

SHOP: The Mott and Bow Broome Jeans

It also all comes down to the fit and feel of these jeans. The Mott and Bow Broome Jeans are available in three crisp and cool Mott and Bow fits, including Slim, Straight and Skinny. I prefer the Slim fit myself, but the great thing is, Mott and Bow offers free shipping and returns, as you very well know if you’ve shopped the brand in the past. Select the wash, fit and size, and then be prepared to be mighty pleased with the results. The Medium Wash finish is also ideal for summer, when light wash denim is naturally easier to wear and all the more stylish on hot summer days.

Naturally, that light wash also lends itself quite readily to plenty of easy and breezy summer style staples, be it a lightweight short-sleeve shirt or one of Mott and Bow’s men’s T-shirts. Either should prove soft, versatile and casual. The list goes on as you consider picking up a pair of the best men’s jeans, because you can also wear these with an unlined cotton blazer and a crisp Oxford shirt for business casual days at the office or even a night on the town, Old Fashioned in hand. The best men’s jeans for summer are yours for the taking, so don’t waste any more time shopping ’em.

The brand looks to cut down water usage and harmful chemicals, and they work with factories that pay workers a fair wage. All of this is much more important than you think when it comes to producing the best denim for men, and that, of course, results in a slightly higher price tag. The Nudie Jeans Lean Dean Denim, for instance, will run you $185, but that makes them a pair of men’s jeans worth investing in.

The 13oz. stretch comfort denim makes these stylish light wash jeans mobile and versatile, as easy to wear with a navy merino polo and white leather sneakers as they are with your favorite summer boots, a chambray shirt and a rugged chore coat when temperatures cool off. The slim and tapered cut (note that Nudie Jeans also offers Straight Leg and Loose Fit styles) is clean and polished, and if you pair ’em the right way (say, with your favorite Oxford shirt), these are even jeans you could wear to a casual office.

The contrasting orange thread used throughout this pair of Nudie Jeans Lean Dean Denim is a nice styling touch, as is the copper trim detailing (as shown above). At the end of the day (or rather, the start of your day), you want a pair of men’s light wash jeans you can throw on and wear in comfort for hours on end.

They’re the proper way to trade out your heavyweight selvage, and a nice in-between when you don’t want to wear your favorite shorts. The pair you’re looking for, the pair you’ve been waiting for and hoping to find, well, that pair is the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim, my friends.

So, it helps that the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim pairs more than readily with those Huckberry style essentials, right? Yessir.

Selvage construction makes these more durable, despite the comfortable stretch.

So, what else makes this pair some of the best jeans for men, period? It comes down to the stretch selvage fabric blend, which blends 13.4oz. denim fabric (heavier selvage can top 15oz. or more) with 4 percent polyester & spandex. That slight amount of stretch is going to help these jeans move and breath easier, crucial on days when you want to wear jeans but don’t want to suffer for your style. The Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim also feature a true custom gold selvage ID, as shown above — these jeans are the real deal. And it continues to get better, because these jeans are made in the denim hotbed that is Los Angeles. Plus, the hardware is custom to F&T, and the YKK zipper won’t give out on you. I’ve got a pair of these jeans myself, and I reach for ’em every chance I get. I think you will, too.

Yes indeed, these are the best men’s jeans for spring, for summer and beyond that. You know you can count on Flint and Tinder, right? Absolutely.
