The Thursday Buy: Upgrade Your Layering Game with this Billy Reid Henley Sweater

Best henleys for men.

When you think of layering up for the season at hand, and particularly layering up when casually rugged style is the name of the game, where does your mind wander? Do you think of the fall and winter style staple that is the timeless shawl cardigan, or perhaps the crisp and classic crewneck or V-neck sweater? Do you think of the lounge-ready hoodie?

Or do you think of a piece that falls somewhere in between those categories — a rugged hybrid selection like the henley sweater, especially the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater, might be precisely what you have in mind, yes?

This piece lives up to its name, and then some, falling on the more laidback side of the equation as far as Billy Reid wardrobe essentials are concerned. The Alabama-based designer lends a casually cool, classic air to pieces that are normally more conservative, be it the Oxford shirt or the denim blue jean — and of course, elevated menswear like one of the best men’s blazers or James Bond’s favorite peacoat remain very much part of the designer’s offerings, year after year.

Billy Reid also strays into sportswear territory, like the heritage-inspired Dover Sweatshirt, which uses handsome elbow patches to class up an already super-soft crewneck sweatshirt. And that’s where the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater starts to work its magic in your menswear rotation.

Garment-dyed cotton gives it a lived-in look and feel, the designer says, while ribbed knit finishing at the cuffs and hem delivers a snug fit and a touch of visual appeal — it turns the henley into a thicker sweater, one you can even layer under a more lightweight cotton crewneck tee or, better still, a lightweight cotton henley for a dash of devil-may-care style attitude.

Heirloom elbow patches and a timeless band-collar design help the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater achieve the perfect balance between a rugged layering must-have — beneath a waxed field coat might work wonders — and a refined staple you can use to dress down a crisp white dress shirt and tobacco-hued chinos ever so slightly.

Dark horn buttons are an elevated finishing design detail, giving this handsome sweater a wear-with-anything sensibility this winter. When the mood strikes, when you want a departure from the ordinary via your winter layering game, the Billy Reid Garment-Dyed Henley Sweater could be just the ticket, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: Filson’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sale Offers Up Rare Discounts on the Best Outdoor Gear for Men

Filson menswear 2025 review.

There are times when you’re hard-pressed to find some rare, exclusive savings on one of the best heritage menswear brands on the market. As it turns out, ongoing Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals aren’t quite one of those times — it seems plenty of the best online menswear brands, even companies that don’t normally offer up all that many discounts — are getting in on the fun in a big way.

At least, it’s fun if you love the best rugged gear for men, which if you happen to be reading this blog, well, I assume you do! And that brings us to the famed Pacific Northwest gear purveyors at Filson, long one of my favorite brands and a reliable stalwart as far as the best men’s adventure supplies and apparel is concerned.

Of course, it was with great interest that I caught wind of a hidden gem, so to speak, in a crowded market for top Black Friday sales and deals: The Filson Black Friday Sale delivers 25% off more than 100 products from the famed style and apparel brand, each as built to go far afield as the next.

It’s truly a sight for sore eyes (or at the very least, a sight for your wallet), as a host of tried-and-true Filson favorites are delivering nothing but the utmost in dependable performance and heritage-worthy great looks.

That’s certainly not hyperbole if you ask me: Peruse the wares on sale for a very limited time at the Filson Black Friday Sale,and be amazed at what you’ll find. The iconic Filson Tin Cloth Lined Short Cruiser Jacket is a brand flagship that gets the proverbial red-pen discount, while the Filson Rugged Twill Duffle Bag lives up to its hard-wearing name.

On the apparel front, the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt is a legend in the category, with rich warmth and plenty of craft in every stitch. That Filson mantra (“unfailing goods since 1897,” lest we forget), definitely holds true even as gear goes on sale (and a heck of a sale, at that!) through discounts only available for a few more days via the Filson Black Friday Sale.

When a heritage sale comes a-knockin’ featuring a brand that’s hard to find at a discount, you best pay attention — and keep your credit card at the ready, of course. Cheers to holiday deals, my friends.

The Friday Find: This Triple Aught Design Service Sweater is an Underrated Blend of Performance and Style

The headline above hits the nail right on the head: Whether layering up for a day hike, gearing up to build a winter bonfire or taking a stroll to your favorite brewery, the right mix of performance and style is critical in the brisk winter months, with warmth of the essence.

And across this year in my many freelance writing pursuits, from the cobblestone streets of Amsterdam to the rolling hills of Scotland, I’ve found that Triple Aught Design expertly fuses substance, style and performance — especially in pieces like the Triple Aught Design Service Sweater shown above.

It’s an unheralded style staple from a brand that if you know, you know: Its gear blends the tactical and the rugged with the streamlined and stylish, and that’s what we’re all about during today’s Friday Find. The Triple Aught Design Service Sweater takes its design cues from thick-knit, heavy weight sweaters issued to British special forces in inclement weather, featuring a durable vertical rib knit and the use of modern 100% extra-fine, non-mulesed Merino yarn, a replacement for traditional wool.

It makes the hard-wearing Triple Aught Design Service Sweater a useful staple for layering and for fighting odor while regulating temperature, complete with a tough fisherman’s knit rib design and full-zip front for a customizable fit and ventilation as you get from point A to point B on the go.

A zip chest pocket helps store your everyday carry essentials, while the raglan sleeve design amps up mobility in a big-time way (it’d be ideal for layering underneath a waxed trucker jacket or a field coat, at least in my humble opinion).

The handsome and rugged Triple Aught Design Service Sweater is rounded out by a stand collar finished with a rib knit, another useful touch for fighting back against the cold. And with its tailored fit, the brand says the tactically inspired Triple Aught Design Service Sweater works well on its own or layered up across the globe. Look to the unexpected this season when it comes to the best men’s sweaters, and your next #OOTD will reward you in kind with style and function hand in hand.

The slow but sure return of fall brings a sense of comfort, at least to this Brooklyn style writer. Old favorites return to your rotation, rugged and versatile, comfortable layers take center stage, outerwear takes on the brisk climes of the season, and some pieces — particularly the best fall menswear from Taylor Stitch — take center stage once more.

If it looks like something your grandfather might have trusted on a cold autumn morning, there’s a good chance it belongs in the classic men’s style rotation of your own today.

The San Francisco brand puts its own spin on Americana with an eye toward modern updates to the classics, like one of the best shawl cardigans for men — the piece at the heart of today’s weekend style highlight, of course.

It’s hard not to love what the brand does, including a series of the best chore coats for men, richly crafted indigo denim, classic Oxford shirts and of course, some of the best men’s sweaters — often inspired by hard-working sweaters worn on the coast and on the water.

The Taylor Stitch Crawford Sweater is built out with 100 percent seed-stitched BCI cotton for plenty of texture and depth, giving it a rugged appeal that’s hard to pass up as you look to layer for cozy weekends at home and cabin getaways this season.

Ribbing at the cuffs and bottom hem offers distinction and a secure snug fit, whether you layer over one of the best cardigans for men atop a chambray shirt, an Oxford shirt or one of the brand’s soft-but-sturdy long-sleeve T-shirts for an easygoing sense of weekend style.

The Taylor Stitch Crawford Sweater comes in the brand’s signature tailored chest sizing for a flattering fit that should still prove easy to layer, while the shawl collar frames the face handsomely and can even be turned up at the neck against the cold.

It doesn’t hurt that the Taylor Stitch Crawford Sweater is finished with dark horn buttons in a flattering style detail, while colors like Charcoal and Navy should prove remarkably classic and versatile. It also makes a fine addition to the brand’s rotation of fisherman sweaters, sturdy crewneck sweaters and even sporty jersey cotton hoodies and crewneck sweatshirts.

Some things just feel absolutely right when it comes to the season at hand, like reaching for pieces with a touch more texture and style than what you’d wear in warmer weather.

Keep reading, and I think you just might agree.

Billy Reid has a knack for bringing a touch of rugged edge to refined classics, like his ability to class up the legendary Western shirt (as we talked about on this blog earlier this month, of course). And the Billy Reid Luxury Dover Sweater falls in much the same category, elevating the sportswear fabric of the original Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt in pleasing fashion.

While the OG version of the Dover Sweatshirt was made from soft cotton, the Billy Reid Luxury Dover Sweater uses a textured blend of wool and cotton for some added character. The luxurious spin on the sportswear nature of the crewneck sweatshirt only gets even cooler and more premium from there: The Billy Reid Luxury Dover Sweater is fitted out with handsome suede elbow patches for a truly professorial, old-school touch.

Having tried past versions of the Billy Reid Dover Sweatshirt, the Billy Reid Luxury Dover Sweater is a true testament to what Billy Reid does so well: Elevating the familiar into an elegant realm, which in this case involves using merino wool for the ideal blend of form and function that we love so much here at The Style Guide.

The ever-versatile Grey colorway of the Billy Reid Luxury Dover Sweater wears stylishly with just about anything else in your wardrobe, be it olive chinos and tan leather Chelsea boots, luxe corduroy trousers and a navy peacoat, or expertly cut blue jeans alongside a casually rugged chambray shirt.

Billy Reid menswear review.

Billy Reid says this ever-fashionable sweater is “the perfect sweater to wear solo, or to use as a bottom base layer,” and I tend to agree. If you feel like your crewneck sweater game could use a helpful upgrade this season, you’ve come to the right place with the Billy Reid Luxury Dover Sweater.

See Now, Buy Now: This Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Cardigan Will Be Your New Autumn Favorite

Is it ever too early to prepare for what lies ahead in matters of style, performance and menswear? If you ask me, no sir — and that’s where it pays off to scour the digital shelves of a retailer like Mack Weldon, which has nearly perfected the equation when it comes to modern performance fabrics, comfort and innovative takes on classic styles.

So, what looks like a standard shawl cardigan (albeit a rugged and versatile one at that!) actually takes on a new tack entirely, all thanks to the New York City brand’s focus on quality fabrics and classic silhouettes. That led us to talk about one of the best men’s blazers for fall and winter just a few weeks back, and it leads us once more to now talk about the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan, which puts a fresh spin on rugged, classically inspired seasonal staple.

The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan gets its durability and long-lasting appeal from a blend of Shetland wool, nylon and spandex — those last two fibers should give this sweater enough rebound and durability to stand up to repeat wear (I like to keep my rotation of shawl cardigans handy as both house sweaters and as a replacement for a blazer during cocktail bar visits in New York City, of course).

The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan also boasts cable-knit stitching and classic details like two welt hip pockets, giving this modern number the sort of old-school appeal your grandfather would have loved.

But remember: The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan is crafted with lightweight Shetland wool, all the better to keep you from overheating as you layer this handsome sweater atop an Oxford or chambray shirt. I’d even work the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan into my rotation atop a Western-style buttondown for a further dash of rugged appeal.

It’s also a major bonus that this refined shawl cardigan comes in two wear-with-anything fall colors (True Navy and the deep olive Foxhole Heather). Each are certainly apt to wear alongside dark blue selvedge denim and a thermal henley, or else atop a crisp white dress shirt alongside charcoal wool trousers for a dash of crisp, office-ready style. It’s never too early to amp up your seasonal sweater rotation, and that’s where the latest and greatest from Mack Weldon is assuredly ready to step up to the plate.

Best fall blazers for men.

Needing to strike the right balance between comfort and style can be a tricky equation at times, at least as far as fall layering is concerned — and particularly when the occasion calls for one of the best blazers for men.

While fabrics like cotton and linen should more than suffice in the warmer months, something with a bit more heft and texture is preferred for fall and winter, yes? And that’s where my good friends at Mack Weldon rise to the occasion, and then some.

You likely know the New York City brand for its wildly soft and comfortable boxer briefs and basics, but the brand has grown into so much more over the years (as previous Mack Weldon reviews on this site attest — read up, folks!). And the Mack Weldon ACE Blazer delivers the goods, and then some, boasting a supremely comfortable mix of stretch, comfort, style and polish.

The Mack Weldon ACE Blazer is the latest and greatest menswear innovation from the brand, which also excels at modern fabrics blended with classic style silhouettes. On the surface, it features the laidback yet crisp patch pocket design of a casual blazer for men, the kind you can wear with corduroy trousers or cotton chinos as easily as with dark blue jeans.

The difference, of course, lies in an expert fabric blend of micro-brushed French terry cotton for extreme comfort and softness. There are also timeless sportcoat touches like a modern lapel and a double-back vent when it comes to your new favorite fall blazer.

Mack Weldon appears to have been right on the money when they noted that “someone invented a blazer that’s as comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt,” and in my experience, the design holds true to a precise blend of form and function. If I were you, I’d wear the handsome Mack Weldon ACE Blazer with a blend of high-and-low style essentials, like a crisply cut Oxford shirt or even a thermal henley and black jeans for style with a bit of an edge to it.

Shop the best seasonal menswear ASAP at Mack Weldon

Available in versatile colors like True Black and a light Grey Heather colorway, there’s also a perfectly fall and winter-ready Charcoal Herringbone design for a true nod to seasonal style.
