The Sunday Sale: This Devium USA Short-Sleeve Shirt Is USA-Made Perfection for Your Menswear Rotation

Best USA-made shirts for men.

As I look toward my own spring and summer menswear wardrobe (as you’ll see on my Instagram here!), I find it useful to really dial down when it comes to the classics: Buying less but buying better, focusing on ultra-premium quality and utility, and often turning to brands like Devium USA for some of the best USA-made menswear.

As you well know if you read this Brooklyn style blog, brands like Devium USA are going the extra mile with improved fabrics, dependable style and hard-working construction, often with a process that leans into old-school style — how can you not love that approach, ehh?

As it so often goes, investing in the very best upfront often pays dividends in the end — the right fabrication, fit and durable construction shines through, particularly when it comes to on-sale, discounted style finds like the Devium USA Balboa Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt.

This handsome, rugged and thoroughly old-school shirt has become a true staple in my own rotation, with the right construction to stand up to frequent wear over time — with light wash jeans, with stretch chino shorts, with linen trousers and loafers, and with breezy lounge shorts and broken-in canvas sneakers. It’s also a reliable piece to layer over a pocket tee or a short-sleeve henley for a dash of visual interest, although my favorite short-sleeve shirt wears plenty well on its own.

When it comes to one of the best short-sleeve shirts for men, after all, can you find much better than one made in the U.S. of A? At least at present, you might say my answer seems to be no — and that holds true even when this exceptional style find is on sale, my friends.

Boasting a classic yet flattering, reliably tailored fit, it helps that the Devium USA Balboa Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt looks great untucked with my prized stretch chino shorts and white leather sneakers, and the 5.5oz. linen-cotton blend of the Devium USA Balboa Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt breathes easily, drapes well and holds up — again and again — to repeat wear.

While it’s harder and harder to come by in terms of inventory these days, if you’re able to score your size of the Devium USA Balboa Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt, I’d say it’s a guarantee this USA-made, California-inspired brand will become a staple in your own rotation.

The Sunday Sale: Save As Much as 50 Percent On USA-Made Menswear at Warren’s First-Ever Sale

We often talk on this style blog about the need to invest in the best — or close to it, at least — by way of looking for clothes built to last and built a better way (when and where possible, of course). But finding those sorts of companies, at least in the U.S. of A., is a tricky prospect at times, made a bit easier by a brand I’ve been following (and loving!) for a little over a year now, New England-based menswear purveyors Warren.

The point being, it’s not easy to make garments in America, much less using plentiful materials and fibers sourced and crafted in the States, and to end up with clothing that’s stylish, timeless, durable and rugged all the same. Yes indeed, that’s been the Warren way, at least in my experience.

As I’ve talked about in Warren menswear reviews on my blog, the brand goes the extra mile — and that’s not just hyperbole — in every possible stitch and fabrication. Working with producers right in the heart of New England, the company offers up sturdy but supple flannel shirts, a durable barn coat, vintage-style sweatshirts, ultra-soft yet well-constructed pocket tees and classic, athletic-inspired hoodies (among other everyday staples every man should own).

And the even better news for intrepid surveyors of the menswear landscape, like yourself? Warren menswear is now for up for grabs between 30 to 50 percent off in the company’s first-ever sale.

That means a selection of buttery-soft yet durable flannel shirting and chamois shirting is marked down now — including the especially appealing Warren Walden Flannel Shirt, plus the wear-with-almost anything Warren Pomfret Country Chinos for utterly classic style.

Even its pocket tees are supremely soft and noticeably well-made compared to other standard-issue tees on the market, while its pullover hoodies are dependable and easy to style — and again, noticeably well-made compared to other gear on the market.

Yes indeed, it’s certainly worth shopping at Warren now, as this is in fact the last day of the company’s first-ever sale — and there’s no telling when some of these pieces might see the light of day again. As you scour the market for prime menswear finds with that utterly classic made-in-America feel, you know where to go today — venture out onto the path ahead with Warren menswear.

Iron and Resin Cruiser Jacket review.

As we so often talk about on this Brooklyn style blog, it can indeed be mighty refreshing to find a brand crafting rugged menswear the right way — especially if it’s a brand that might have flown under your radar, or a brand you haven’t explored in some time.

As we try to do with our Friday Find series, it seems that when it comes to winter style essentials — and the best waxed jackets — the good folks at Iron and Resin deliver just what the doctor ordered in matters of rugged, durable and dependable quality.

The newly reintroduced Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket fits the bill perfectly in that regard, using a remarkable blend of quality, craftsmanship and tough-as-nails fabrication to get the details just right (and then some).

Best waxed jackets for men.

The Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket starts off with a supple yet sturdy build featuring what the company calls a “beefy 14.75oz Raymond waxed cotton canvas,” amped up on the inside and outside with cozy yet strong features like a lining crafted from the brand’s custom Klamath Flannel pattern blanket fabrication.

The effect is visually pleasing as well as cozy and warm — how much more can you ask for from one of the best waxed jackets for men, ehh? Gusseted shoulders and a fit cut to hit just above the hip drive home the utility of this jacket, for good measure.

Dependable details truly make the difference when it comes to the Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket, including a heavy-duty front zipper and reliable storm closure flap for extra coverage. Front chest pockets and lower hip pockets offer space for your everyday carry essentials, a wise move given that you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of your new favorite waxed jacket.

If it seems as if the company thought of just about everything as far as the handsome and highly dependable Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket is concerned, that’s because, at least in my experience, they certainly did.

The Friday Find: Devium’s Lombard Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt is a Retro Classic Made Modern

It’s something we tend to talk a lot about here on this Brooklyn style blog: The idea that they don’t make ’em like they used to (at least in the case of USA-made menswear). So, when a brand really goes the extra mile, stepping up and delivering pleasing style in exceptionally well-crafted fashion, consider it a proper treat for your rotation of menswear essentials, particularly as far as your warm-weather shirting rotation is concerned. .

And thus, for the third Friday in a row, this Friday Find — a series focused on quick-hit takes on one stylish piece of mennswear — will spotlight an essential you’ve still got time to rock in the weeks ahead. In fact, it’s a piece I’m wearing as I type, with softness, style and utility in spades.

You see, the Devium USA Lombard Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt takes the on-trend camp collar shirt, nods to the past and then retools it in American-made, utterly high-quality fashion. The soft, supple yet durable construction of the Devium USA Lombard Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt is a nice style swerve considering its old-school roots.

At least in my experience, the design of the camp collar shirt calls to mind something your grandfather might have worn in an auto garage back in the day, and yet the Devium USA Lombard Striped Short-Sleeve Shirt features garment-washed organic cotton chambray in a flattering striped design.

It’s expertly crafted right here in the States (SoCal, to be specific), and available in both Midnight and Pistachio — options aplenty exist for the lover of USA-made menswear, yourself very much included. Consider scooping up this stylish short-sleeve shirt for the final stretch of summer, my friends.
