The Friday Read: Buck Mason’s USA-Made T-Shirts, Glendalough Gin & LCD Soundsystem

Folks, it’s time for another edition of the Friday Read, as we roll into what promises to be a lovely summer weekend here in New York City. What’s on your weekend shopping and reading list? Hopefully, that includes a healthy dose of perusing Buck Mason menswear, as I’ve found myself doing quite frequently. After all, the brand just started making its best-selling T-shirts in the United States, at a famed Pennsylvania factory, as I wrote about yesterday on the blog.

That’s certainly one way to kick off the weekend properly, and I’ve got another idea as to how to kick off my own weekend. Later this afternoon, I’ll be trekking up to Queens and to the lovely, historic Forest Hills Stadium for a momentous mini-music festival of sorts, headlined by none other than one of my favorite bands: New York synth pop and dance rock heroes LCD Soundsystem. I’ll assuredly be dancing my way into the weekend — how about yourself? In the meantime, here are a few other reads and style picks to get your own summer day started properly (led by Buck Mason menswear, of course). Cheers, my friends.

  • Speaking of rugged and expertly crafted T-shirts, here’s another one for. I find myself living in Filson pocket tees this time of year, and I wrote about a new favorite T-shirt over on the blog earlier this week. If you love the brand as much as I do, drop a comment below. Here’s to a major wardrobe upgrade, yes?

  • As part of my many freelance writing pursuits, I’m endlessly fortunate to be able to travel the world covering spirits, menswear and more. In fact, if you recall correctly, I visited Dublin and lovely Wicklow earlier this spring with Glendalough Gin. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I wrote all about foraging for gin botanicals with Glendalough over at Maxim late last week. Cheers, indeed!
  • And last but not least, you know what this weekend is, right? It’s Father’s Day weekend, and I’d also recommend you shop my picks for the best Father’s Day gifts from Huckberry right now, as covered over at Maxim. Dad deserves it, right? Yessir.

Well, my friends: That’s going to wrap it up from me today. Here’s to an eventful summer weekend, a wonderful Father’s Day and plenty of stylish shopping selections in your future. As always — thank you for reading!

The Thursday Buy: Buck Mason Is Now Making Its T-Shirts in the United States

When something is well-made, you know it right off the bat: It feels different out of the box, it wears more stylishly, and it lasts longer. In my experience, that’s what I’m looking for in my menswear essentials. And that’s why I’ve found that Buck Mason consistently delivers some of the best men’s style picks across the board over the years. Perhaps you’ve found the same holds true over the years, yes?

The Buck Mason approach starts with its consistent attention to detail via the best men’s T-shirts, the brand’s cornerstone. The company makes plenty of stylish men’s tees in fabrics like slub and pima cotton, sure, but they’re now doing it in an even bigger and better way.

To wit: Buck Mason is now making some of its best-selling T-shirts right here in the United States, and that news is music to my ears (and hopefully, to yours as well).

Best USA-made T-shirt for men.

Buck Mason just announced the launch of Buck Mason Knitting Mills, a new frontier for the Americana-focused company. The short story: The brand is reviving the historic Mohnton Mill in Mohnton, PA, a region known for its textile manufacturing expertise.

Buck Mason bought the mill, saving it from closure, saving jobs and then ramping up production of some of the best T-shirts for men in the process. They’re also using USA-grown cotton for a true “grown-and-sewn” approach.

The story is an inspiring one, and one that’ll allow you to get picks like the Buck Mason Slub Curved Hem Tee with USA-made production front and center. It’s an impressive move, and I’ve had the chance to try out some of Buck Mason’s USA-made tees already.

The fabric quality is top-notch, the durability is outstanding, and the handfeel and overall design is excellent. Would you expect anything less? I certainly wouldn’t. It’s only the start of Buck Mason’s journey to making more of the best USA-made tees, so get in on the ground floor and upgrade your summer wardrobe ASAP. You won’t regret it.

The Sunday Sale: This Best-Selling Bonobos T-Shirt Is 50 Percent Off Right Now

Best men's T-shirt for summer.

Folks, let’s waste no time this weekend in directing you towards the menswear essentials you can make use of right now — and then the rest of the season. I’m talking, of course, about a handy deal and a tried-and-true essential that’s going to come through in the clutch: One of the best men’s T-shirts, naturally.

And the brand making your new favorite T-shirt? Of course, it’s Bonobos, the same brand that also makes your favorite classic chinos. In my experience, Bonobos can do no wrong — but allow me to expand on that.

Learn more now at Bonobos

The T-shirt is a staple in every guy’s wardrobe, no question — for conference calls (underneath a lightweight blazer), for summer travel, for fall and winter layering and for, well, every single style situation you can dream up.

And I’ve got just the T-shirt for you, one that’s available for 50 percent off right now. Yessir, the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee delivers the goods, and it’s one of the softest tees on the market, for my money’s worth (as the name would imply). It’s regularly priced anywhere from $29 to $35, and available in a range of fits and sizes, so pay attention to your selection of choice (assuming this deal is too good to pass up for you!).

Now, let’s get into what makes the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee tick — it’s $15 on sale right now, and that’s a deal that doesn’t stick around forever. But is the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee worth it? Take it from me: It assuredly is, and it wears much better than its low sale price tag might indicate.

Sizes are moving very quickly, but the cotton-poly blend is the perfect touch in terms of the right amount of stretch and a soft handfeel. Plus, the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee comes in breezy colors like Heather Beach, Heather Moss and Heather Apple, each of which should wear nicely on its own or underneath a Bonobos denim jacket.

The real selling point here, though, might be that absurdly excellent sale price. Yes indeed, the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee delivers the perfect mix of standout style, affordability and comfort. That’s a T-shirt worth having in your corner.

Style Pick of the Week: Mack Weldon Silver Pique Tee – The Best Luxe Tee to Wear This Summer

Best men's T-shirt for summer

I don’t know about you, but when I get dressed on the daily, I often look for pieces that are classic, yet upgraded slightly and done in ways that are ever-so-different. Take the practice of wearing a T-shirt (or rather, one of the best men’s T-shirts). It’s an item I’m willing to bet you might wear as many as 7 days a week in these more casual, work-from-anywhere times. If that’s the case, at least one of the T-shirts you’re wearing might as well be a well-made, luxe upgrade, right? And that’s where my good friends at Mack Weldon come into play.

You likely recognize the brand for making one of the most versatile men’s jackets, as well as comfortable and high-quality basics like the best men’s underwear and socks, yet the Mack Weldon Silver Pique T-Shirt does things even better than one might expect from the New York City DTC brand. Now, keep in mind that the Mack Weldon Pima Crew T-Shirt is already a fan favorite (and that’s thanks to the soft cotton construction), but the Mack Weldon Silver Pique T-Shirt goes a step further.

Best white T-shirt for men.

Crucially, the Mack Weldon Silver Pique T-Shirt is built with both Supima cotton (again, another soft touch in terms of fabric), plus the brand’s anti-odor Ionic+ silver technology, which fights odor. There’s also a side split hem on the Mack Weldon Silver Pique T-Shirt, so it drapes more like a polo, while the White version of this stylish men’s T-shirt boasts a tipped navy collar for a touch of refinement.

That turns it into a classic tee you can wear underneath a soft-shouldered navy blazer, or else with olive chinos and your favorite pair of leather chukka boots for a touch of high-low style. Of course, it’ll wear just as well with some of the best blue jeans for truly timeless style.

HELM Boots

And crucially, the Mack Weldon Silver Pique T-Shirt uses a stretchy micro knit pique fabric weave, just like one of your favorite polos, so it moves with you and performs on the course, across town and everywhere in between. Naturally, that makes the Mack Weldon Silver Pique T-Shirt pricier than other Mack Weldon T-shirts (it retails for $68, compared to $38 for the standard Pima Crew Neck).

And yet, once you try on this soft, breathable and classed-up tee, you’ll really feel the difference. Go on, upgrade your T-shirt this spring and summer — you’ll be glad you did.

That knocks the price of this stylish striped T-shirt down to $38, a nice steal for a high-quality tee.

The crewneck design is easygoing and versatile enough to wear underneath a denim jacket or all on its own, especially with a pair of laidback lounge pants.

And the price of this tee is so agreeable, you very well might want to load up your cart with other picks from the Taylor Stitch Last Call section — I’ll leave that up to you, but your shopping session should start with the Taylor Stitch Organic Cotton Tee, no questions asked.

Best merino T-shirt for men.

There are times when the solution in your search for the best men’s style essentials really is quite simple. Think of all you’ve still got to juggle these days: Work From Home style, Zoom calls and casual days back in the office, plus time on the road and in the great outdoors. The solution? At least in the case of today’s post, is to wear one of the best merino T-shirts. And the T-shirt in question today — the Western Rise StrongCore Merino Long-Sleeve Tee — offers plenty of ways to wear it, plenty of minimal, sleek style and plenty of utility for the modern man.

Merino in its own right is an essential fabric for any wardrobe, what with natural moisture-wicking and insulating properties, a soft handfeel and the ability to act as an insulating base layer in the cold, or a moisture-wicking outer layer on breezy spring (or temperate winter) days.

And this stylish merino T-shirt from Western Rise checks all the proper boxes, and then some. Now, you might recognize Western Rise from making one of the best men’s long-sleeve buttondowns, but they’ve applied that same innovation to a more casual long-sleeve tee, too.

Best merino long-sleeve tee for men.

The Colorado-based company with a penchant for the outdoors bills the Western Rise StrongCore Merino Long-Sleeve Tee as the “only long sleeve shirt you need,” and it’s hard to argue with that take. The jersey Merino wool fabric is temperature-regulating and of course, moisture-wicking, boasting a soft handfeel and a fit that makes it easy to move around in and easy to layer up with as your base for a casually rugged outfit. The split side hem also offers nice added mobility.

It’s better still that the Western Rise StrongCore Merino Long-Sleeve Tee features a streamlined design with no branding. That means can rock it under an unlined blazer at the office for a mix of high-low style, you can team your new favorite long-sleeve tee with tapered joggers for a laidback weekend look, or you can style the Western Rise StrongCore Merino Long-Sleeve Tee underneath a denim jacket with tan chinos for the ultimate mix of comfort and classic style.

And when you need to hit the trail or the road, the Western Rise StrongCore Merino Long-Sleeve Tee delivers moisture-wicking comfort and performance. Take your pick from colors like Dune, Midnight or Black, then get ready to wear this shirt as many ways as you can dream up.
