The Tuesday Steal: Billy Reid’s Short-Sleeve Tuscumbia Shirt Is On Sale for 30 Percent Off

Best short-sleeve shirt for men to wear this summer.

If it seems like I’ve been talking an awful lot about Billy Reid menswear in the past few days, that’s because, well, I have. It’s not for nothing, though: Right now, the Billy Reid Summer Event runs through this coming Thursday, so there’s quite literally never been a better time to score a few new favorite summer style essentials at standout deals (try 30 percent off, my friends).

Shop Billy Reid’s summer sale ASAP

Let’s dial it in a little bit more today, though, as one of the best men’s shirts for summer is up for grabs via that outstanding sale. That shirt would be the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Short-Sleeve Shirt, which is — as you might have guessed — a summer-friendly iteration of the brand’s best-selling Tuscumbia Shirt.

The key here is the use of yarn-dyed linen in a custom plaid colorway for a washed-out, pleasantly breezy summer feel, and the details only get better from there.

The Billy Reid Tuscumbia Short-Sleeve Shirt features a standard fit for an easygoing feel, while the collar forgoes a more casual buttondown design in favor of a straight collar. The impact is a breezy shirt that even looks polished enough to wear underneath your favorite summer blazer, sans ties.

Shop Billy Reid men’s shirting right now

Of course, you can also style the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Short-Sleeve Shirt on its own with stylish Billy Reid shorts for plenty of summer weekend shindigs, and it still looks crisp enough to wear with your favorite pair of chinos. However you choose to wear the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Short-Sleeve Shirt, it’s a guaranteed summer style winner, complete with a great price tag (until Thursday!) to match.

Learn more and shop at Billy Reid

But here’s a little something else worth keeping an eye on right away: The Billy Reid Summer Event, which runs into next week and offers the chance to save 30 percent on select styles from the famed Alabama-based menswear designer.

What exactly is on offer right now at the Billy Reid Summer Event? A little bit of everything, from the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt (a certified classic) to a rugged Billy Reid trucker jacket tailor-made for breezy nights this summer. Bear in mind that the Billy Reid Summer Event only runs until this coming Thursday, June 29th, so it’s in your best interest to strike while the iron’s hot and save big money on stylish summer menswear. Cheers, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: Shop The Huckberry Memorial Day Sale to Save Big on Rugged Menswear

If I’ve learned one thing over the years, it’s that there’s no time quite like the present to shop and save on the best rugged menswear, especially when some of the best menswear deals roll into town to kickstart a long weekend. Memorial Day weekend beckons, as does the promise of a cold beer and some much-needed downtime, but first and foremost, you’ve got to take care of a few things.

Stock up on the best summer menswear right now

Notably, you need to shop the Huckberry Memorial Day Sale. It’s just that simple. As you can see at the top of the page, the rugged, endlessly versatile retailer is offering up to 30 percent off, and it’s also worth checking out the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section beyond that deal itself. So, what exactly is up for grabs at the famed retailer? There’s plenty, and that’s an understatement.

There’s a selection of Huckberry sunglasses, there are polos and camp collar shirts and shorts aplenty, there are stylish slip-ons… the list goes on and on, indeed. As I always say, these deals tend to go quickly, and the Huckberry Memorial Day Sale is certainly one you can’t miss. If you end up picking up a new favorite piece of menswear or gear, be sure to let me know in the comments. Cheers to this long weekend, and let’s get into it, in style.

The Friday Read: Shinola’s 10-Year Anniversary Event & A Brooklyn Family Weekend

Folks, it’s *time* to roll into the weekend with our eyes on another deal on the best men’s watches, plus some handy spring style tips — as per tradition, right? Yes indeed, and the best way to start a Brooklyn weekend might just be by shopping a deal that’ll be gone in the blink of an eye.

Shinola, one of my favorite watch brands (and perhaps one of yours, as well) is running the Shinola 10-Year Appreciation Event, a celebration of a decade in business that’s seen the Detroit watchmaker go from a brand making classic leather watches to a company now making everything from stylish home furniture to audio accessories and much more.

And the scoop, if you haven’t been keeping up with the blog, is that the Shinola 10-Year Appreciation Event only runs now through Sunday, May 14th — yes, this Sunday, and it’ll be here before you know it! Shop and save early and often.

As for me, well, I know my own weekend should fly by in the blink of an eye (but hopefully, not too quickly), as I’ll be hosting my family in Brooklyn this weekend — the first time a full family NYC trip has happened since 2019! In store: A Broadway show, plenty of Brooklyn imbibing in terms of the borough’s best beer and wine, and a few stops at key sights and sounds in the borough (DUMBO very much included).

You can keep up with the fun on my Instagram, and in the meantime, let me know in the comments below if you end up shopping the Shinola 10-Year Appreciation Event. Cheers to a spring weekend, and thanks for reading!

The Friday Read: The Weekend’s Best Menswear Sale at Filson and The National’s New Album

Folks, welcome back to another momentous Friday Read — and I truly mean “momentous,” because there’s plenty going on around these parts. For starters, there’s the deal promised in today’s headline: Filson is running a 30 percent off sale now through Sunday (an exceptionally rare occurrence), one that I talked about yesterday on the blog.

Shop Filson’s Spring Sale right now

Of course, a reminder is always in order when it comes to the best menswear deals, and you’ll find plenty up for grabs right now from the legendary Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter. I can think of no better way to start the weekend than by saving on rugged Filson menswear — can you?

Well, perhaps there’s one other way I’d recommend you start the weekend: Cruise on into the days ahead with some fresh new tunes, courtesy of a new album from my favorite band: Ohio-born indie rock heroes The National. “First Two Pages of Frankenstein” is the group’s first full-length LP in four years, one I’ve been hotly anticipating for weeks on end (of course!).

I’ve talked about the band plenty on this site over the years — and you’ll surely recognize them if you follow me on Instagram. And four years ago this very weekend, I trekked out to Los Angeles to see the band play live (as good a reminder as any that I need to get back to L.A. sooner rather than later!).

In the meantime, the emotion, the passion and the introspective nature of The National helps guide me in my own life and in my many freelance writing pursuits, and for that, I’m undoubtedly grateful. I’ll even be writing up a review of The National’s new album over at Atwood Magazine this weekend, so stay tuned for my full take on what promises to be another outstanding record.

For now, I’ve got some new tunes to play, and of course, some shopping to take care of over at Filson’s Spring Sale. Stay stylish, stay plugged in and thanks for reading, my friends!

The Thursday Buy: Save 30 Percent On the Best Menswear At Filson

As I’ve talked about often here the past few weeks, building out your menswear wardrobe — even for the enthusiasts among us — still requires a bit of advance preparation, particularly as we roll through a new season. After all, by the time spring rain makes its way into town, you’re hopefully already outfitted with one of the best spring rain jackets, right?

And how does one best prepare for spring’s worst? By shopping the best menswear deals early and often, and from brands you can trust — a brand like Filson, which is running a true rarity these days: The Filson Spring Sale. Sounds too good to be true, right? Bear with me, my friends.

Shop the Filson Spring Sale now

Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter Filson, rather incredibly, is offering 30 percent off some of the best heritage menswear, now through Sunday. Yes indeed, that’s right: Now is the time to shop and save on Filson men’s style essentials, the likes of which haven’t quite seen discounts in some time (if ever!).

The great thing is, this sale — again, through Sunday! — includes plenty of current in-season essentials, from the downright useful Filson Swiftwater Rain Jacket to the summer-friendly Filson Dry Tin Cloth Shorts.

While there are some exclusions (like the Filson Mackinaw Wool Cruiser Jacket), there’s more than enough on hand when it comes to the best spring menswear to justify jumping wholeheartedly into the Filson Spring Sale.

You’ll find picks both more easygoing and more rugged, like the essential Filson Dry Tin Five-Pocket Pants, which are more than suitable for yard work or going off-grid, yet cool enough to wear back in town (if they’re clean, that is). It’s also tough to pass up a deal on Filson bags and accessories, including 30 percent off the go-anywhere Filson Dryden Briefcase.

And one last thing: There’s no real catch when it comes to the Filson Spring Sale, other than that the sale ends this Sunday (April 30th!), and that inventory in some key styles is moving fast. Either way, you’ve got your sights set on high-quality wardrobe upgrades while saving a few bucks in the process. Go to it, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Huckberry Winter Sale, Adidas Sport Headphones & The Most Affordable Sunglasses

My friends, let’s dive right on in to another momentous edition of the Friday Read. I say momentous because, well, it’s Super Bowl Weekend, followed by Valentine’s Day. And better still around these parts, it’s the start of New York Fashion Week (always a hectic yet exciting time). Here’s something you can enjoy even if you’re not in New York City, though. That’d be the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, an ideal time to get some of the very best winter menswear for up to 40 percent off.

Take heed: The Huckberry Annual Winter Sale only runs until February 12th, so you’d best act quickly to stock up on rugged, classic gear in equal measure. How about it, ehh? And if you’re more partial to sporting pursuits, not to worry: I’m going to spotlight new Adidas active headphones momentarily.

Beyond that, you can certainly follow me on Instagram for the latest #NYFW happenings, as I’ll have a dispatch on the most wearable (yes, truly wearable!) looks coming later this month for the one and only Fatherly. In the meantime, stock up on your new favorite trucker jacket or pair of boots from the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, and let’s get into the rest of your weekend reading and shopping.

Through my freelance writing pursuits, I get the chance to test out all kinds of seriously cool gear, including some of the best Bluetooth headphones on the market. For my own walking and hiking around Brooklyn and the borough’s Prospect Park, I’ve been testing out the crystal-clear Adidas FWD-02 Sport Headphones, a streamlined pair of in-ear headphones made for the wearer that’s always on the go. The Adidas FWD-02 Sport Headphones are a useful upgrade for training sessions, but they’re compact and easily wearable enough to support daily use. Snag a pair before your next gym morning or late winter road trip.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Winter is no excuse to skimp on stylish shades, especially on those rare days when sunlight does stream through crisp white winter clouds. And for my money’s worth, and yours, there’s a way to upgrade your everyday carry with some of the best men’s sunglasses… all the while saving a few bucks in the process. My friends, I give you my guide to the best under-$100 sunglasses over at Maxim.
If you gave Dry January an earnest shot this year and are still feeling “sober-curious” about going booze-free, here’s something you might find useful: Over at SPY, I gave the boozy hops a break (if only briefly) and wrote about some of the best non-alcoholic beers on the market. Again, Dry January might have come and gone, but you just might want to make some room in your beer fridge for some new, non-boozy additions.

Still need to catch up with the latest happenings here on the blog this week? Yesterday, I wrote about one of the most rugged winter jackets to buy now, the classic Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket. Here’s the full scoop as you power through Friday. We’ll see you for tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week, and our Sunday Sale as scheduled. In the meantime, enjoy those cold beers and chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday. Cheers, my friends!

The Tuesday Steal: Save 40 Percent On this Rugged Shirt Jacket from Billy Reid

Folks, welcome back to another Tuesday and another chance to shop and save on your new favorite menswear from one of the country’s most premium, stylish and timeless brands. And it’s fitting that the Billy Reid Winter Event continues to serve up outstanding discounts on the best seasonal menswear, including the Billy Reid Theo Shirt Jacket. Believe it or not, your new favorite shirt jacket is a whopping 40 percent off — yes, 40 percent off — and it’s worth every single penny.

Learn more today at Billy Reid

Now, we’ve talked in the past on the blog about one of the best winter men’s style sales from the famed American designer, but it’s always worth diving a little deeper and taking another look at some of the top winter style essentials, yes? And that’s where the rugged, exceptionally well-crafted Billy Reid Theo Shirt Jacket enters the equation (and your wardrobe). It’s not quite like any shirt jacket (or shacket!) you’ve seen on the market, from the rich wool-blend shadow plaid exterior to the 100 percent recycled insulation.

The Billy Reid Theo Shirt Jacket gets better from there: Note details like side hip pockets and of course, two front-button chest pockets that turn this rugged shirt jacket into an indispensable winter layer. Wear it over your favorite henley from Billy Reid, or go so far as to match up the Billy Reid Theo Shirt Jacket with an Oxford shirt for a dash of high-low style.

Now, just know that although the Billy Reid Theo Shirt Jacket is 40 percent off, it’s still a bit of a splurge at $268. And yet, it’s available in plenty of sizes, it’s versatile and well-designed as can be, and it’s a nice stylistic change of pace from a winter parka or peacoat. Act now to add the Billy Reid Theo Shirt Jacket to your style rotation, my friends.
