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.

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).

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.

That’s certainly the case with the Wills Wrinkle Free Linen Short Sleeve Shirt, which just might be one of the best shirts for men on the market.

It’s the kind of go-anywhere shirt you can rock with just about anything, be it more easygoing picks like stretch chino shorts and canvas sneakers, or else with dark blue jeans or even tailored linen trousers at the office. 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).

Shop Huckberry’s latest sale now

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. While Huckberry and the F&T crew do a standout job producing rugged gear like the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, this stylish men’s shirt is a bit more ready for the office, for happy hour and even for a low-key date night — get you a shirt that can do it all, folks.

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.

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.

They just dropped the Buck Mason Vintage Collection, an expertly sourced and curated offering of tried-and-true menswear classics, from denim shirting to retro frames, a rare Rolex vintage watch, books, home goods and more.

It’s like a peek into the entire world of Buck Mason, a close look at what makes the brand tick — oh, and you can actually buy covetable pieces from the Buck Mason Vintage Collection, too. How sweet is that, right?

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.
