Style Pick of the Week: The Aether Apparel ‘Aether Insider’ Program

Sometimes, the menswear and gear world can feel a little too exclusive, can it not? There are aspirational brands aplenty out there (hello, Rolex!) and yet, few brands that lift the curtain up and let you truly become a part of their world. When you see an opportunity, as we do in today’s featured post, it’s worth pivoting to score that deal on the best new gear, yes?

The elusive pursuit of inclusion in the style world makes it all the easier to appreciate companies that both prioritize making the best gear for men, while at the same time welcoming you with open arms into their retail stores, their experiences and yes, the gear itself that you so badly need for your next adventure far afield.

While companies like Huckberry certainly come to mind (among others we love in this neck of the woods), it’s worth diving just a bit deeper, especially when it comes to Aether Apparel and the Aether Insider Program.

You very well might recognize the road-ready, adventure-inspired California company for its commitment to gear that looks as great on a motorcycle as it does on the trail or scaling a mountain peak (or some combination of all of the above). Aether Apparel prizes the right blend of utility and durable, rugged performance, particularly if your passion is motorcycle riding or hiking, or any version of urban exploration.

And that versatility and distinct attention to detail is what might make it so well worth your while to join the Aether Insider Program, which gives you (first and foremost) 20 percent of all Aether Apparel gear year-round. This is one heck of a deal, if I do say so myself, including free two-day shipping on orders and a yearly gift, plus special access to sales and exclusives.

To sweeten the pot within the Aether Insider Program, there’s also the chance to get early access to new releases (those Aether Apparel moto boots are pretty sharp, are they not?), plus the chance to get early access to ticked Aether Apparel events and trips.

But let’s go back to one benefit right off the bat as far as the Aether Insider Program is concerned: 20 percent off investment-level Aether gear, from moto jackets to handsome overshirts, reliable leather moto boots and hard-working canvas pants and chinos fit for every single season.

Now, I can’t guarantee where precisely your Aether Apparel gear will go this season (or in the years to come), but I can guarantee you that signing up for the Aether Insider Program could spur you on to new heights and plentiful adventures while rocking some of the best gear for men. It’ll run you $120 per year, but that seems but a small price to pay for the chance to score savings on adventure-ready menswear and much more — the world is your oyster with the Aether Insider Program, or so it would seem.

The Thursday Buy: The Filson Outlet Summer Sale Offers Deals on the Best Rugged Menswear for the Season (and Beyond)

Filson men's gear review.

If you’ve been keeping up with the blog on the regular, you’re well aware that the quest for a truly great deal never really stops, at least when it comes to the best gear for men. And as the thermostat climbs and the quest for adventure (or at least, an icy cold watering hole) beckons, there’s one place I like to turn towards in my search for the best rugged gear for men.

If you guessed Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter Filson, you’d be correct, and there’s an even better reason to shop the famed gear company this very week: We’re in the midst of the Filson Summer Outlet Sale, which offers up to 50 percent off the best menswear and gear across the board. It’s the sort of sale that doesn’t come around very often, which is an even better reason to peruse the company’s offerings.

In my experience, Filson gear is made to a bit of everything, from day hikes to park strolls to weekend getaways upstate and beyond. That goes for something as essential as the Filson Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt to something a bit more rough-and-tumble, like the rugged Filson Granite Mountain Shorts.

There are dozens upon dozens of the best men’s gear picks available that’ll come in handy right now, from waxed canvas bags to lightweight shorts, and there are also picks from the Filson Summer Outlet Sale that you can put to great use in the months ahead, like flannel shirts and hard-wearing denim.

Any way you slice it, there’s no bad way to shop Filson’s latest and greatest sale. Let me know what you end up scoring in the comments below, and here’s to summer, my friends.
