The Sunday Sale: This Bespoke Post Shirt Can Be Yours for Under $50

The cornerstones of a stylish everyday men’s wardrobe might appear simple on the surface, but they’re anything but that once you take a closer look. Consider this Line of Trade shirt from Bespoke Post, for instance. It’s part of the in-house line of everyday essentials from the NYC-based direct-to-consumer brand, which specializes in a balance of casual classics and rugged gear.

This shirt falls in the “casual classics” realm, no doubt. It looks like a classic men’s shirt, to be sure, but it’s the use of brushed end-on-end fabric that gives it depth and texture — plus softness, which makes it an even easier men’s shirt to wear than a timeless Oxford shirt. Not a bad option to have in your closet, right?

Here’s where things get even better: For a limited time, the Line of Trade Arrow Shirt (at least in this medium-blue textured option) can be yours for under $50. Granted, it’s only available as of now in sizes Small through Large, but there are also plenty of the best menswear deals via the rest of the well-stocked Bespoke Post Sale section (even after Labor Day weekend sales earlier this month!).

The fan-favorite menswear retailer describes it as a three-season buttondown, and since it’s made from textured 100 percent cotton, it’s easy to see this shirt working in a variety of seasonal style situations. And if you act quickly to score your size, the Line of Trade Arrow Shirt can prove an excellent deal in terms of form and function.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Western Shirt Is Your New Favorite Fall Buttondown

If there’s one thing I can’t get enough of, it’s the chance to truly layer up in rugged style as we roll into early fall (and well beyond). Any great wardrobe of men’s style essentials should be well-prepared in advance for what lies ahead, including the brisk breezes and crisp, crunching of leaves of fall — and the call of seasonal adventure, naturally.

There are certain pieces I tend to rely on in these situations, and I’ve recently found a new one to add to my roster. Or rather, a new (old) piece: The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt is a fan favorite, and a sttylish men’s shirt restocked in time for a new season, with all the rugged appeal a guy could ever want.

If you’ve perused the blog over the years (or even as recently as this week!), then you know Flint and Tinder covers all the right bases: Versatile, well-made menswear crafted from durable-yet-supple fabrics, with the potential to work as well for an evening of brewery beers as a day at the office.

That goes for its henleys, waxed trucker jackets and the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, naturally. The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt toes the same line: Polished yet rugged, visually appealing, made to be worn again and again.

The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt gets the basics right, including the use of 100 percent cotton denim in washes like a richly faded Medium Dark Wash, as well as crisp Black and a classic Stonewash denim. The burnt cow bone snaps are an authentic touch, as is the Western detailing throughout.

I’ve found the Medium Dark Wash edition of the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt to be an ideal fit in a size XL, too. It’s comfortable enough to button up on its own, easygoing enough to wear open over one of my favorite T-shirts, and sharp enough to wear with the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants or else casual grey denim.

It’s an optimal headliner for any casually rugged fall #OOTD, with hundreds of positive reviews that justify dropping $158 on a Western shirt. Who knows — it could very quickly become your new favorite fall shirt.

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Bold Plaid Tuscumbia Shirt – A Refreshed Version of A Classic

When I shop my favorite menswear brands, I tend to look for consistency and reliability, and of course, a distinct sense of style. That’s where Billy Reid often comes into play: The classic-meets-modern Alabama menswear brand makes iconic pieces with a fresh sensibility, be it the best shirt jacket for breezy nights or a rugged indigo Western shirt.

Learn more now at Billy Reid

They also have their own lineup of tried-and-true classics, like the flagship Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt. Here’s where it gets even better: They update some of the brand’s best pieces in every season in new colors and fabrications, each cooler than the last, like the Billy Reid Bold Plaid Tuscumbia Shirt.

It arrives just in time for fall, and it’s a nice change of pace from a more standard (yet always classic!) blue or white Oxford shirt, for instance. The fun doesn’t stop there, though.

The iconic modern brand already calls the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt a “cornerstone of lived-in luxury,” what with its use of custom brushed plaid cotton (in the case of this shirt). The plaid pattern itself on the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt is also rich and visually appealing, with plenty of layers to it.

Shop New Arrivals now at Billy Reid

That gives it a bit of an edge in terms of style over other more classic red plaid shirts, for instance — the Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt is crisp enough to wear beneath your favorite fall blazer in dressier style situations for the season ahead. The next time you need a shirt that refreshes an already-iconic design, opt for this number from Billy Reid.

Style Pick of the Week: Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt – Your New Favorite Shirt Jacket

In my experience, the building blocks of any good wardrobe (which we tend to talk about time and time again here on the blog!) are the pieces you know you can count on in matters of style, functionality and versatility — season after season. It’s should come as no shock that season after season, Taylor Stitch is one of those brands in my personal array of stylish gear.

Learn more now at Taylor Stitch

There’s always something you can count on, especially as we approach the rugged climes of early fall, in the Taylor Stitch New Arrivals section, and the even better thing is, the brand never really strays too far from what it does best: Timeless, rugged everyday selections in useful designs (like one of the best shirt jackets), updated seasonally in cool colors and fabrics.

And on that note, meet the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt. Or rather, get a reintroduction to this highly wearable shirt jacket as we close out summer.

The latest iteration of the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt retains all the hallmarks of other Taylor Stitch shirts and shirt jackets, like button-through chest pockets and bar-tack stitching at key stress points. Plus, this edition of the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt comes in a soft, garment-washed organic cotton French terry fabric, and the Charcoal color is finished with monochromatic charcoal buttons.

It also comes in a cool, classic Fatigue Olive color, but the real benefit to the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is, well, its utility. It’s heavier than the brand’s Oxford shirts, but made from organic cotton French terry fabric, unlike the brushed flannel quality of the famed Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt.

You should be able to wear your new favorite shirt jacket reliably right now — on cool late summer nights and breezy mornings — with a classic pocket tee, and then I’d suggest layering up this durable shirt jacket over your favorite henley as fall rolls on. You can count on Taylor Stitch, and you can assuredly count on the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt to sort out your layering game from now through the season ahead.

See Now, Buy Now: The Newest Taylor Stitch California Shirt is a Modern Style Classic

You’re likely well-acquainted with your favorite menswear brands and their place in your wardrobe: Your go-to blue jeans, your favorite pair of leather boots, a perfectly broken-in T-shirt. So when a brand like Taylor Stitch comes up with a rebooted take on a classic, that’s worth celebrating, yes?

Learn more now at Taylor Stitch

The fan favorite San Francisco menswear brand, a personal favorite of mine on this blog for years, already does a little bit of everything, including making rugged fall sweaters and one of the best men’s blazers. And yet, the brand started with a simple focus on making the perfect men’s shirt, which led them to the Taylor Stitch California Shirt — an iconic, modern shirt for the modern man.

And as you might have guessed by the headline at the top of the page, one of the best men’s shirts is back again in time for early fall — and back again in a big way.

You see, the Taylor Stitch California Shirt arrives again in an entirely new colorway just as we close out summer and look (ever so slightly) toward the best fall style essentials. Get ready, folks — the Taylor Stitch California Shirt is here to amp up your wardrobe. Your new favorite men’s shirt already comes in a pleasing array of colors and patterns, and it’s the rich Twilight Plaid shade (in sturdy yet soft brushed cotton twill) that sets this version of the Taylor Stitch California Shirt apart from the pack.

The details remain on point, from the flattering, face-framing and nicely sized collar to the washed fabric for a comfortable feel right out of the box. Beyond that, the Taylor Stitch California Shirt also comes in the brand’s signature chest sizing, with a tailored fit and a high armhole.

The fact that this shirt looks great untucked with a pair of the best men’s chinos from Taylor Stitch is no accident, and again, the Taylor Stitch California Shirt could quickly become your new favorite shirt. Buy it now to wear on cool summer nights, then keep it handy come fall and winter, because it’s a true wardrobe workhorse. Taylor Stitch wouldn’t have it any other (any other) way.

See Now, Buy Now: Shop This Lightweight Sea Culture Shirt for Breezy Everyday Style

If you’ve been keeping up with the blog as of late (and I certainly hope you have been!), then you’re well aware of the need to stay polished and stylish — even as the high heat of summer sticks around. In fact, staying polished yet comfortable is a crucial component of any #OOTD in any season.

And here’s where I’d like you to meet one of my new favorite buttondown shirts. I’ve tried out upstate New York-based Sea Culture over these past few months to great effect, and I’ve been especially impressed with the Sea Culture Marin Buttondown.

Learn more now at Sea Culture

It’s got all the tried-and-true bells and whistles of one of the best shirts for men (like a flattering fit, a handsome collar and a design that looks good tucked in with one of the best men’s blazers or casually untucked with stylish blue jeans).

Unlike some other shirts — even one of the best Oxford shirts, which might prove a bit too heavy for summer — this one is made of a stretchy nylon blend, so it’s got more in common with a stylish performance dress shirt.

And yet, it’s more casual than a dress shirt, so it wears well in business casual situations (unlike dress shirts, which are cut longer and made to be worn tucked in). Sea Culture also specializes in breezy, coastal-inspired gear, like one of the best men’s henleys in a super-soft fabric.

And yet, this piece is a change of pace for when you head in from the beach and get ready to head into town to snag a Negroni or a cold beer. Or else, you can wear your new favorite buttondown shirt with modern stretch chinos at the office, or else with the best weekend lounge shorts for casually cool style.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Garment-Dyed Favorite Oxford Shirt – The Perfect Everyday Oxford Shirt

When a designer as acclaimed as American menswear expert Todd Snyder puts his own stamp of approval on an item (in this case, the “Favorite” tag), there’s a very good chance it more than lives up to the hype. I’d say that certainly holds true with this shirt in question, which is as reliable an everyday Oxford shirt as you’re apt to find (more on that in a moment).

Learn more now at Todd Snyder

It’s all the better that it’s a stylish Oxford shirt you can wear now in the high heat of summer, and then reliably all through fall. What really makes the Todd Snyder Garment-Dyed Favorite Oxford Shirt so essential? There’s plenty of premium quality and thoughtful design that elevates this particular number, from the garment-dyed Portuguese 100 percent cotton (made by a family-owned factory), to distinctive details like a button chest pocket.

The Todd Snyder Garment-Dyed Favorite Oxford Shirt also hits on other hallmarks of the designer, like a logo tag at the bottom hem and a locker loop for ease of hanging (and display, perhaps). What really turns this handsome Oxford shirt into a winning four-season buttondown shirt has to be the Tent Green color (although it also comes in rich colorways like Hickory).

Shop Todd Snyder menswear now

The Todd Snyder Garment-Dyed Favorite Oxford Shirt comes in an array of timeless colors, all the while boasting Snyder’s consistently flattering fit. And for the price tag, it’s reassuring that it hits on all of those details.

At $168, the Todd Snyder Garment-Dyed Favorite Oxford Shirt doesn’t come cheap, but it’s one shirt you can style easily with everything from expertly faded denim to natural linen trousers (or tobacco corduroy pants this coming fall). Invest in the very best and wear it with pride, as Mr. Snyder himself would do.

It’s also made from a comfortable, pleasantly durable linen-poly blend for more structure and shape, and the fit should prove tailored but not overly tight (nor baggy).

But because it’s part of the Huckberry Summer Sale, it’s flying off digital shelves quickly. With that being said, I’m going to wrap up today’s post early and leave you to shop the Huckberry Summer Sale. Good luck out there, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent on this Classic Men’s Shirt from Flint and Tinder

At times, getting a great deal can mean even more than that: Like when you score some savings on one of the best shirts for men, for instance, and if you can do that while getting your new favorite shirt from one of your favorite online retailers.

In this case, I’m talking about Huckberry, an online shop that, in my considerable experience, never cuts corners or fails to come through with some of the most rugged, best menswear on the market.

Head to Huckberry now

Hopefully, you’re aware of that fact, but hey, a reminder is always a good thing when building out a wardrobe of summer style essentials, right? And I’ve got some news for you: Huckberry certainly hasn’t let you down with one of its latest deals, part of a plethora of the best menswear deals over in the Huckberry Sale section.

Your next round of style savings arrives courtesy of one of the best everyday shirts for men, the Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt.

Let’s look at those savings right off the bat: You’re saving at least 20 percent on your new go-to shirt, which is made with breezy two-layer double-gauze cotton for softness, breathability and polished style (even in the heat). The Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt wears like an easygoing Oxford shirt, with double-button chest pockets for EDC storage and a more rugged touch.

Shop the Huckberry Sale section now

It’s also outfitted with reinforced elbow patches, but to me, this is a stylish work shirt you can readily wear on a more laidback day at the office. Plus, it’s garment-dyed for additional softness, and it comes in a range of colors (like a crisp Blue Check — my personal favorite) or a stylish Natural colorway.

And since some colorways of the Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt drop as low as $76 (normally $128!), it’s certainly a highly versatile shirt worth buying now — and wearing the rest of summer into fall. Happy shopping and we’ll See You Out There, folks.

The Sunday Sale: Get More than 30 Percent Off the Classic Outerknown Blanket Shirt

It’s lofty praise to label a piece of modern menswear a “classic” when there aren’t all that many pieces truly deserving of that honor, but in my experience, the Outerknown Blanket Shirt is more than worthy of that praise.

Shop Outerknown shirting ASAP

It sprang from the mind of surfing legend and famed menswear designer John Moore and has been a mainstay of the Outerknown line for years now, with the sort of soft, supple design made to be worn on its own, and the rugged appeal to make it one of the best shirt jackets on the market, too.

You’ll find the Outerknown Blanket Shirt in a classically rich array of colors and patterns, with useful details like front-button chest pockets for your everyday carry, and it only gets better from there.

And the even better news is that yes, through the Outerknown Summer Sale, you can save more than 30 percent on the timeless, rugged-yet-versatile Outerknown Blanket Shirt. In fact, it’s hopefully not the first time you’re hearing about the Outerknown Semi-Annual Sale, since it’s the best spot at the moment to get stellar savings on the most sustainable menswear on the market.

Shop the Outerknown Summer Sale now

You see, from using less water-focused denim production practices to a heavy emphasis on materials like organic cotton and hemp, Outerknown is, at least in my experience, changing the game when it comes to the best eco-friendly menswear, and that’s something we can all believe in (and shop).

But for now, perhaps consider starting off your journey to a sustainable wardrobe by saving a few bucks on the dependable fan favorite that is the Outerknown Blanket Shirt.
