The Thursday Buy: This Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt Puts a Modern Shine on a Tried-and-True Heritage Classic

If it’s respite from the winter weather you seek, at least in terms of the best seasonal menswear — menswear that’ll keep you cozy and stylish all in one fell swoop — then we just might have the perfect prescription in matters of rugged style today here on this Brooklyn menswear blog. It arrives by way of Taylor Stitch, an iconic modern brand with a razor-sharp focus on the classics, all updated for the stylish man of today (that’s you!), as we talk about one of the best shirt jackets for men.

In addition to its standout roster of expertly crafted Oxford and flannel shirt, plus coastal-inspired sweaters, standout Japanese selvedge denim and even everyday carry accessories to compete with the very best of ’em, Taylor Stitch has a knack for taking throwback outerwear designs and giving them a fresh coat of paint, so to speak.

Taylor Stitch menswear review.

Take the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt, a new arrival via the San Francisco brand, one that hits the market just in time for layering in the cold (perhaps underneath a topcoat or even a rugged waxed parka in this brisk weather these days). The Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt nods to old-school Chief Petty Officer jackets, this time done up in organic herringbone cotton twill-wool blend in a rich Indigo Herringbone Ash fabrication — that’s how the old-school becomes modern, at least in terms of color and design.

There are classic specs and design inspiration aplenty across the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt, including notched flap chest pockets for your EDC, plus a crisp blue-grey color thanks to the use of both cotton twill and wool in the construction process. Taylor Stitch notes the handsome Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt is cut to layer, so feel free to ramp things up with a thermal undershirt or your favorite henley (another menswear essential that Taylor Stitch also does a stellar job at crafting).

And because it’s Taylor Stitch we’re talking about here, the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt features the brand’s signature, face-framing California collar, plus mitered shirt cuffs allowing for a slight dash of improved mobility.

While this handsome overshirt isn’t your only line of defense against the cold, it’s a heritage-minded piece ready to more than pull its weight as a strong mid-layer beneath a topcoat or a waxed field jacket, or perhaps as a finishing touch as you relax in front of the fire, fine dram in hand this season. The classics remain the classics for a reason, and the Taylor Stitch CPO Overshirt is a modern way to look at a menswear iconc.

The Tuesday Steal: Save Big On this Rugged Roark Revival Overshirt to Start the New Year

There’s nothing quite like getting back out there in the new year, is there? In ways both good and bad — it might be difficult to be cooped out in front of a computer after a leisurely holiday respite, but if you ask me, that only means it’s time to plan the next getaway outdoors, be it an upstate retreat or something as simple as a wintry walk in the park.

Of course, you need the right winter style essentials for those pursuits, starting with the big-ticket items like one of the best flannel shirts for men. And you’re in luck, because a rugged flannel overshirt from Roark Revival comes to the rescue today in the ever-well-stocked Bespoke Post Sale section. Let’s dig into your new go-to flannel overshirt, shall we?

The Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt is just one style staple you should count on in the blustery cold of winter, complete with quilted and insulated lining to give it some heft and warmth.

It would pair expertly with a thermal henley and flannel-lined jeans (DUER Performance makes a great pair of flannel-lined jeans, my friends), and that’s but one combination to power you through frigid winter days and nights. And when a waxed trucker jacket or a hefty barn coat is your outerwear move of choice this season, I’d also wager the handsome Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt in its plaid iteration would prove a wise move.

The Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt features a snap-closure front for easy access and standout layering potential, while its taffeta lining also amps up its layering capabilities with easy-on, easy-off access. Note that it also boasts a classic fit for further ease of winter-ready layering — I’d wager you can even style this hard-wearing overshirt atop a fisherman sweater or perhaps even a lighter-weight chambray shirt for cozy comfort and rugged style aplenty.

And at its current sale price of $80 (marked down from $119 in the always-reliable Bespoke Post Sale section), the utility and the rugged nature of the Roark Revival Backwoods Overshirt can’t be overlooked — try it on for size, layer up accordingly this winter and get back out there in functional, casually rugged style.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Denim Overshirt is the Perfect Blend of Rugged and Refined Style

It’s always a positive, at least in my experience scouring the market for menswear essentials, to come across a fresh take on a tried-and-true staple, the kind we certainly love to talk about here at this Brooklyn menswear blog.

At least in my own personal rotation, the best denim shirts for men are something of a near-daily staple (as you well know if you read this blog regularly or follow me on Instagram).

Follow my daily style on Instagram

And over the years, I’ve come across plentiful excellent examples of the style, including the famed Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt as shown above. In a new edition for 2025 and yet boasting the same banner of quality and rugged-yet-refined style you’ve come to expect from the award-winning designer, the handsome nature of this denim overshirt is perfect for fall when it comes to looks — and its construction is even more well-suited to the season at hand. Let’s dive in a bit further today, shall we?

The Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt reminds me of the durable pieces worn by my father back in Michigan, yet this one features a more modern cut and fabrication (and likely wouldn’t be worn with light wash jeans, as was so often the case back in the ’90s!).

Instead, the Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt makes use of prime Italian cotton denim from Albiate, which is then fashioned into a slim-fit overshirt that seems perfectly primed to wear atop a thermal henley, a pocket tee, a graphic T-shirt or perhaps even on its own, beneath a rugged shawl cardigan.

And yet, keep in mind that an overshirt is a prime seasonal layer, especially when thrown on at a moment’s notice over a perfectly crafted, garment-washed T-shirt (again, it’s a daily staple look of mine!). Two chest pockets give the Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt its utility and structure as an overshirt, whether paired with dark black jeans or perhaps olive canvas pants on a job site, in the garage or at the drafting table (or around a fall bonfire, cold Octoberfest beer in hand).

The stonewashed process gives it plenty of character and style points, while the sturdy build should prove durable and easily wearable season after season — and at $248, I’d want to get as much wear as possible out of your new favorite denim overshirt. Stay tuned for more from Todd Snyder this fall season, and revel in the perfect balance between rugged function and stylish form, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Todd Snyder Field Shirt is Wildly Discounted and Perfect for Cool Spring Nights

Some deals just come along that are too good, at least on the surface, to pass up. And some of the best menswear deals live up to that billing handily, too: Quality meets affordability, particularly among your favorite menswear brands.

For a dash of luxury, a hit of functional spring layering and some seasonal style with attitude — at the right price — we turn today towards Todd Snyder, award-winning menswear designer and a man on a mission to take over your wardrobe.

Snyder’s foray into menswear now results in everything from durable henleys to expertly faded jeans, soft-yet-sturdy flannel shirts and of course, an array of breezy spring and summer tailored essentials. But before we get into the high heat of summer, a few choice layers are still of the essence — like the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt shown above. First off: Speaking of a deal, it’s a whopping 76 percent off right now in an array of sizes.

Next up: Its utility, which comes in the form of a cotton corduroy build. While corduroy is traditionally found in the colder climes of fall and winter, the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt can still prove useful when things cool off on spring evenings, or when a spring day dawns unexpectedly chilly.

The great thing about the luxe build of the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt is that it just so happens to combine the rugged appeal of an overshirt with the sleek look of black corduroy — you could even wear this shirt atop a grey or white Oxford shirt as a daring substitute for a blazer.

Shop and save at Todd Snyder

Either way, I’d say the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt is a fun piece to experiment with — it can also pull double-duty in the colder months worn over a turtleneck shirt. The designer calls it “the best of both worlds,” and it’s hard to argue with that sentiment — with dark blue jeans or with olive chinos, it’ll look dashing and pleasingly rugged. And remember: While it’s a change of pace, this handsome field shirt is a whopping 76 percent off right now. If I were you, I’d certainly give it a shot.

The Thursday Buy: This Bonobos Overshirt Is one of the Coolest Layers You Can Wear This Season

Best men's overshirt for fall.

In my book, one of the best times of the year — no perhaps, the best time of the year for menswear — is fall. Or rather, fall right on the verge of winter. In fact, we’re right smack dab in the middle of the perfect time for fall menswear essentials.

A brisk breeze carries leaves on the air, there’s still time aplenty for fall park strolls, bonfires and whiskey sipping, and one of the best men’s overshirts can help you do it all. I find myself wearing one of the best overshirts for men on a near-daily basis these days.

If you’re in the same boat, I think you’ll find today’s change of pace from one of the best online menswear brands — that’d be Bonobos — a nice move.

You’ll certainly find some of the best new fall menswear within the Bonobos New Arrivals section, including the Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt in question today. Now, here’s the catch: The traditional overshirt, with its thicker fabric and larger buttons, wears like a jacket, as opposed to, say, one of the best chambray shirts for men.

The Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt has many of those same qualities, but the fabric is a swerve. It’s a rich, velvety corduroy, as opposed to a harder-wearing material like flannel, so it’s got a more elegant look and feel to it. Of course, the hits keep on rolling for this lauded menswear retailer.

It features slightly oversized buttons and two handy button chest pockets for maximum utility, and the rich Port Wine color option shown here is a perfectly appropriate touch for the season at hand. It also comes in classic colors like Black, and a rich Tuscan Olive that would wear nicely with charcoal dress trousers or even dressier dark blue jeans.

With the Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt, you’ve surely got options. Even the lightweight contrasting-flannel cuff and collar detailing sets this handsome overshirt apart from the pack. Bonobos rightfully calls your new favorite overshirt “classic and comfortable,” and I could see it wearing seamlessly over everything from your favorite henley to a turtleneck for a dash of refined fall and winter style.

Sure, the Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt is a touch different than a rugged denim or flannel workshirt, but it’s no less a worthy option as you bolster your rotation of the best fall and winter menswear. We’ll see you out there, my friends.
