See Now, Buy Now: Scour the Market for the Coolest Finds in the Buck Mason Vintage Collection

In my opinion, you should be able to turn towards your favorite menswear brands for just about everything you need in your wardrobe. That can even be the case with the best vintage menswear — bear with me on this one, folks, because the juice is worth the squeeze.

The “best vintage menswear,” in fact, is precisely where Buck Mason, one of my favorite online menswear brands, enters the equation. The brand excels at crafting rugged men’s style essentials — and more refined pieces, like one of the best summer suits — all with its vision focused squarely on both the past and present. That’s why it’s so fun (in my humble opinion!) to see what Buck Mason is up to right now.

These pieces are seriously cool and one-of-a-kind, like an impossibly neat 1940s US Navy Chambray Shirt (available for the lofty price of $495, but in excellent shape all the same). The offering only gets better from there, and it’s quite hard to believe.

This vintage capsule from Buck Mason improbably contains a 1978 Rolex GMT-Master “Pepsi” timepiece, with a two-tone bezel. It’s a true rarity, and it’s astonishing to see it up for grabs at Buck Mason. But, that’s what the Buck Mason Vintage Collection delivers. See anything you like?

Be sure to hop on this watch while it’s still around, because like any piece of the best vintage menswear, it won’t stick around forever. Pick up one of Buck Mason’s best-selling T-shirts while you’re at it, and you’ve got a match made in #menswear heaven. Happy shopping, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: Filson’s Rustic Short-Sleeve Camp Shirt is a Rugged Summer Staple

Best men's short-sleeve shirt for summer.

This time of summer, in my experience, is often a chance to unplug, to go off-trail, to get back home to Michigan (or your own hometown!), all the while wearing rugged menswear essentials. What you’re wearing on vacation or throughout your summer pursuits is critical, correct?

And it seems that, at least from my time wearing the brand, Filson delivers an ideal mix of rugged style and performance in expert fashion (as you know from reading the blog over the years, of course).

Learn more now at Filson

Be it more casual picks like one of the best pocket T-shirts from Filson, or else a classic weekend getaway bag, there’s hardly an outdoor, warm-weather excursion that can’t be made better by some gear from the iconic Pacific Northwest heritage outfitter.

And for pursuits both more laidback (like a backyard BBQ) or more involved (like a hike across the dunes to the beach), the Filson Rustic Short-Sleeve Camp Shirt should prove mighty handy, durable and stylish. It’s built with a classic camp shirt design, which features a boxy fit — with room to move or to layer over a T-shirt — and the defining feature of this retro short-sleeve shirt is the lay-flat, V-shaped collar (just like your dad or grandfather used to wear).

Best patterned short-sleeve shirt for men.

The Filson Rustic Short-Sleeve Camp Shirt is made from a midweight cotton, so it’s not quite a performance shirt for hiking, but it should still prove comfortable enough on cool nights or breezy days. It’s also got more than a few touches in terms of style.

It’s available in a sharp Deep Sea Indigo pattern or a colorful natural pattern, each of which would also pair up nicely with some of the best men’s shorts from Filson.

Shop men’s shirts at Filson now

Last but not least, you know you can count on quality from Filson, and there’s even better news: The Filson Rustic Short-Sleeve Camp Shirt is currently 30 percent off for a limited time, with plenty of sizes available. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your casual summer style from a trusted brand right now, folks.

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.

The Tuesday Steal: This Adventure-Ready Taylor Stitch Shirt is 30 Percent Off Right Now

The best menswear brands on the market, the menswear brands I love the most, tend to be the ones that take the ordinary and elevate it ever-so-slightly. Take Taylor Stitch.

And in fact, hopefully you already know the brand’s focus on making some of the best shirts for men, right?

I sure hope so, because this modern icon has a way of taking the expected and making it, well, unexpected. That leads us to today’s Tuesday Steal, which shines the spotlight on one of the best men’s shirts for summer — a shirt that’s available for 30 percent off via the effortlessly cool Taylor Stitch Last Call section.

Now, don’t get me wrong: It can be mighty hard to find the proper deal on a versatile, go-anywhere shirt, one that you can wear for adventures aplenty and casual days working from home. Yet, that’s the hole that the Taylor Stitch Point Shirt fills in your wardrobe. It’s modeled after throwback military field shirts, and helpfully made from a super-breezy yet durable blend of organic cotton and linen.

The Taylor Stitch Point Shirt also boasts the brand’s customary chest sizing, all the better for a flattering fit (consider sizing up if you want a slightly looser fit). But the Taylor Stitch Point Shirt is about so much more than the right fit (and that standout discount of 30 percent off).

Shop the Taylor Stitch Last Call section now

It features the brand’s classic, face-framing California collar, but it’s the two front flap chest pockets that should prove especially useful for handling your everyday carry essentials in the field. And of course, the Taylor Stitch Point Shirt comes in two seriously cool colors: A rich Indigo Slub — which just so happens to be my personal favorite — and a field-ready Rain Drop Camo.

Between the soft-yet-reliable fabric, the sub-$100 price on sale, and the durable performance features, you ultimately can’t go wrong with the Taylor Stitch Point Shirt — at least, not in my book.

The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is a Breezy Summer Style Pick

Is the search for summer menswear essentials ever really complete? At times and in my experience, it feels like it’s a never-ending quest, or at least a fun journey, to find picks that surprise and delight in terms of your wardrobe.

Everyone’s summer menswear favorites tend to look a bit different based on where you live and how your day-to-day shakes out, but it’s the tried-and-true picks that keep us all going, right? I’ve found that whether I’m working from home and wearing a breezy pocket tee, or heading to a rooftop cocktail event, the good folks at Taylor Stitch always tend to come through in the clutch.

Best camp collar shirt for men this season.

Of course, you might prize pieces that are a touch more classic or straightforward, like one of the best men’s polos or a Taylor Stitch Oxford shirt. And yet, your wardrobe should leave a little bit of room for interpretation: That’s where one of the best camp collar shirts is ready to shake up your menswear rotation just ever-so-slightly.

Shop Taylor Stitch menswear now

That shirt, my friends, is part of the always-engaging Taylor Stitch New Arrivals section, and the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt offers up retro and modern style in spades. It’s modeled off camp collar shirts of decades gone by, and you’ll notice that the collar lays flat in a more casual fashion, akin to something you might have seen Don Draper wear.

Crucially, the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt harnesses that same sense of casually cool style (without some of Don’s more questionable habits), and it’s every bit as well-designed as you’ve come to expect from Taylor Stitch. In my experience with the brand, texture and fabric is really where the San Francisco brand stands out, and the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is no exception.

It’s available in two dusty, pleasingly summer-friendly shades, Orchid and Sand Jacquard, with 100 percent organic cotton washed fabric that should feel remarkably soft on the skin. So, why a camp collar shirt? Well, the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is a touch more easygoing even when compared to a polo (thanks to the lay-flat collar and straight-hem, standard fit), so it’s a nice change of pace on breezy summer evenings.

The shorter hem also makes it easier to wear untucked, although I’ve found that most Taylor Stitch shirts can be worn untucked without missing a beat (including the brand’s stylish Oxford shirts) Even still, the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is another much-needed, laidback style swerve on the hottest summer days.

Plus, the medium weight means you can wear the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt on your own, or you can style it as I would — unbuttoned over a heather grey T-shirt. Effortlessly cool style is the name of the game with the throwback-inspired camp collar shirt, and the Taylor Stitch Conrad Shirt is a worthy example to add to your wardrobe ASAP.
