See Now, Buy Now: This Proof Merino T-shirt is A Performance-Ready Take on the Classic Tee

Best T-shirts for men.

Despite the fact that it can be difficult at times to improve upon a classic, that hasn’t stopped the good folks at Huckberry and Huckberry in-house brand Proof from trying. The company puts a performance spin on the best basics for men, including the humble and trusted T-shirt. And as we move slowly but surely from winter into early (early) spring, one of the best T-shirts for men is the sort of piece that can serve you well in matters of style and performance.

Over the years, Proof has also made some of my favorite pairs of pants for work, but today’s focus is all about the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt. It’s been a staple of the Huckberry and Proof lineup for years (Proof launched in 2018), and it tends to get better with time and with each new edition — that’s a great thing to hear when it comes to the best performance menswear, is it not?

And although it looks simple on the surface, the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt — available in dozens of color combinations to suit every sense of style and wardrobe — this stylish performance T-shirt for men delivers the goods when it’s all on the line.

In my experience, that means the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt wears exceptionally well in terms of comfort with tapered joggers and white leather sneakers for a long day of travel — Huckberry put the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt to the test across a weekend of endurance pursuits, after all.

Plus, the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt wears easily and subtly beneath a light wash denim trucker jacket and stretch five-pocket pants when you want to go more casually cool, as well. Through it all, the difference is in the details when it comes to your new favorite T-shirt.

The Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt blends merino wool for anti-microbial and moisture-wicking properties, plus nylon for stretch and durability, while its classic fit should work well on a number of different body sizes (I prefer an XL in my rotation of T-shirts from Huckberry). It’s also built with UPF 30+ for sun protection, and the use of nylon allows the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt to spring back into action — and to its proper size — after being machine washed.

If you want a T-shirt that stands up to hiking, to spring weekend coffee runs, to global travel and to everything in between — all the while looking great and standing up to repeat wear in a wide range of colors — then yes, the Proof 72-Hour Merino T-Shirt is one of the best T-shirts a guy can buy right now, my friends.

Huckberry men's T-shirts.

In my experience, sometimes, you don’t know how valuable some casual men’s basics can be until you’ve gone without them. For instance: On a cool summer night around a bonfire or during a beach sunset stroll, ever been caught without an extra layer? I’m not talking about a heavyweight flannel shirt or a thick hoodie — I’m talking about something like one of the best long-sleeve tees to throw on atop your favorite pair of lounge shorts, especially one from our friends at Huckberry.

It’s an underrated style essential that’s served me well on many a summer beach vacation, especially as cooler weather beckons through the end of late summer. And today, well, you’re in good hands, since Huckberry’s new Trumbull line of American-made basics delivers one of the best long-sleeve tees for men.

It’s an indisputable workhorse, a well-made tee in its own right and a casually cool menswear move to end the season. Heavyweight cotton construction (garment-washed for softness) gives the Trumbull Vintage Wash Long-Sleeve Tee a lived-in feel, just like the kind of tee you’d unearth from a lakehouse closet on a crisp night.

And yet, this stylish men’s long-sleeve tee sits ready and waiting in your T-shirt drawer or your favorite weekender bag without missing a beat — since, well, you’ve hopefully already added it to your cart in a trio of stylish colors.

Best long-sleeve T-shirt for men.

With its durable made-in-Detroit construction, its relaxed fit (ideal for layering atop a short-sleeve tee with room to move), and its vintage-style look, it’s a perfectly neutral basic you can even layer beneath a trucker jacket alongside blue jeans.

But for transitional style — especially in coastal settings where you need a warmer layer alongside your go-to shorts — I’d say the Trumbull Vintage Wash Long-Sleeve Tee is a surefire bet as far as laidback summer style goes. Try this one on and report back in the comments if you’re a fan. Cheers and thanks for reading!

The right T-shirt, one with super-soft fabric, a flattering fit and subtle style details, can prove as invaluable when worn on its own as when layered beneath your favorite denim jacket or an unbuttoned camp collar shirt. In my experience, one of the best T-shirts for men is worth spending a bit more money on, particularly when it’s made by one of the country’s finest menswear designers. But since we’re talking deals today, I’ve got even better news for you.

And beyond that, this T-shirt can be had for quite the nice deal right now — it’s normally priced close to $100, quite the splurge for a T-shirt, but you’ll find that the Reigning Champ Solotex Mesh T-Shirt is up for grabs for about 25 percent off right now.

The Reigning Champ Solotex Mesh T-Shirt also boasts a flattering fit (and it comes in both a Heather Grey and Black) — raglan sleeve construction also delivers mobility and a tailored finish, whether you wear this tee on its own to the gym or layer it underneath a rugged chambray shirt.

The Thursday Buy: This American Giant Striped Crewneck Is a Breezy Layer for Spring Days & Nights

When I look for dependable layers to ramp up my spring and summer style wardrobe, I tend to reach for pieces that take a classic and improve upon it ever so slightly. And if the piece is a bit of a swerve from the norm — say, a stylish striped long-sleeve T-shirt as opposed to a solid-colored long-sleeve tee — that’s all the better.

Let’s go one step further: When that staple piece is made the old-school way, well, you’ve hit the sweet spot, as the good folks at American Giant often tend to do.

Makers of everything from some of the best American-made jeans to the brand’s famed American Giant Classic Full-Zip Hoodie, you’ll find that the company leaves no stone unturned, so to speak, in pursuit of some of the best American-made menswear on the market.

And that goes for casual picks, like the aforementioned American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew, as well as harder-to-craft picks, like blue jeans, canvas work pants or hard-wearing workshirts. A mid-weight 100 percent cotton build gives this T-shirt a breezy softness, the kind that wears well with French Terry joggers for weekend coffee outings or laidback spring patio mornings.

Yet, the USA-made build of the American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew elevates it further — while this works as a loungewear-style T-shirt, you can also pair it with an indigo denim trucker or rock it beneath a chambray shirt for casually cool days around town.

The American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew is the sort of T-shirt that might make you rethink what it means to wear one of the best long-sleeve T-shirts — either green or navy stripes add some style points, as do the contrasting cuffs.

It’s not quite as heavy as a crewneck sweatshirt, it’s more substantial than a pima cotton T-shirt, and it’s reliable as can be. While the American Giant Classic Long-Sleeve Crew is pricier than a standard T-shirt from a bargain-bin retailer, it’s a difference you can feel, and that’s a stylish touch I can appreciate.

Best casual T-shirt for men.

I tend to say sometimes here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog that they don’t make ’em like they used to, unless, of course, we’re talking about the best menswear from Huckberry. The retailer, which specializes in the classics made modern, all in rugged-yet-versatile fashion that’s geared for adventure, still hones in on what makes iconic styles great.

And in the case of the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt, that just so happens to mean that they’re making this subtly stylish, versatile men’s T-shirt in the United States from premium materials.

In this instance, that means they’re using garment-dyed slub cotton jersey fabric for a soft touch and soft finish, whether layered up underneath your favorite chambray shirt, worn beneath one of the best denim trucker jackets or styled all on its own with breezy chino shorts.

Huckberry notes that the use of slub cotton jersey fabric gives the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt some weight, durability and texture, and it should prove the kind of T-shirt that doesn’t lose its shape over time. The chest pocket on the aptly named Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt also gives it a touch of subtle style — it makes this classic T-shirt look less like an undershirt, and much more like a casually cool T-shirt you can wear all on its own.

And especially when paired with rolled light wash denim and suede chukka boots, the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt is going to prove an expert laidback style move. It also comes in a range of colors and sizes, and Flint and Tinder’s fit should prove flattering without being too baggy or too tight.

It’s precisely what you want in one of the best T-shirts for men, especially one of the best American-made T-shirts. And since they just don’t make ’em like they used to anymore, it’s worth securing the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt while you’ve got the chance this spring.

The Thursday Buy: This Rugged Buck Mason Crew is the Perfect Layer to End Summer

Best lightweight sweater for men.

There’s going to come a time in your search for men’s style essentials where you need a piece or two that the line between “too much” and “just right.” Allow me to explain, folks.

In the same way that you need a lightweight blazer and lightweight men’s jeans for summer, rather than something cut for fall or winter, a transitional T-shirt to carry you from late summer into early fall can prove quite handy in a multitude of situations — even more than you might think, in fact.

And this, my friends, is where Buck Mason comes into play with the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew. If you follow along with the blog, you know it’s easier than ever to find what you’re looking for at the rugged, all-American retailer, and the ante is upped even further.

Shop Buck Mason T-shirts now

You see, the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew is neither as lightweight as the brand’s perfectly breezy, expertly crafted USA-made tees, nor is it as heavy as some Buck Mason sweaters for the fall and winter months — in short, it’s the perfect T-shirt to close out summer and look towards fall.

And as its name would imply, the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew is a rough-and-tumble piece you can wear casually (beneath a chambray shirt or your favorite zip hoodie at a late summer bonfire) or for pursuits far afield (layered over a waxed jacket on a camping trip). It’s made from a cotton jersey fabric that’s twice as heavy as Buck Mason T-shirts, so it should drape nicely and layer easily.

Note that the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew also features a side-split hem and reinforced stitching at the elbows, not unlike some traditional rugby polo shirts (minus the somewhat dressier collar).

And the Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew features a tailored fit with room to move (likely similar to other Buck Mason tees, in my experience). It’s the kind of rugged layer every guy can use, particularly if you want a stylish tee to wear with jeans, yet not one that’s as light as the option you’d reach for in the high heat of summer.

You see? The Buck Mason Field-Spec Rugby Crew is neither too heavy nor too light: It’s just right, and in my experience, that’s what your wardrobe needs now. Go to it, my friends.
