The Tuesday Steal: This Lightweight Relwen Puffer Jacket Is a Discounted Style Find at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale

It should come as no surprise that the main topic of the day, the hour, the moment is the cold weather still gripping the country — right? What’s a guy to do? The answer’s proven simple, at least according to the editor and writer of this Brooklyn style blog: Head to Huckberry to stock up on the best gear for men, and shop the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale for the next handful of days in the process.

Find out more and shop now at Huckberry

As we’ve talked about in recent days, the simply stellar Huckberry Annual Winter Sale is packed with all kinds of durable, rugged and classic adventure gear for the modern man. And in the interest of time, there’s at least one stylish men’s winter jacket you should be shopping at a serious discount: The Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is the best of the best at what the Ohio-based makers at Relwen do, at least in my experience.

The company leans on heritage styles like the hiker-approved down jacket as inspiration for the coolest, most useful and modern gear of today.

That’s lofty praise, but I’d wager that in terms of lightweight performance, the Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket definitely punches above its weight, and then some (better still is the fact that the hard-wearing Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is discounted down to $243 from $348 — savings and style rolled into one functional package, my friends. Weighing in at a mere 9.3 oz., the outdoor gear company notes this sleek yet ultra-warm jacket is already “the lightest winter-ready Relwen jacket ever,” built with handy details like a two-way center front zipper and three pockets for your everyday carry.

The placket is even reinforced with herringbone for improved durability, while plastic snaps offer quiet performance, Relwen notes. Meanwhile, a reinforced collar teams nicely with a stand-up design for comfort and protection from the wind. It’s but one of many must-shop discounts within the digital pages of the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, but it could prove the most useful and dependable at offering standout protection from the cold. Try one on for size while options are available in one of four retro-minded colors, my friends. Good luck out there, and as ever, stay stylish.

The Friday Find: The Best Made Co. Wool-Lined Waxed Field Jacket Belongs In Your Closet In the Years Ahead

If the Friday Find series is all about spotlighting brands that fly ever-so-slightly under the radar, then it’s also about spotlighting brands and designers large and not-so-large that are doing things the right way, the hard way, in a steadfast manner. Perhaps no company featured on the Friday Find so far embodies that ethos and craftsmanship quite like Best Made Co. (let the debate begin, but for my money’s worth, it holds up!).

And in fact, perhaps Best Made Co. isn’t so unfamiliar to you — after all, the brand was founded in 2009 by designer Peter Buchanan-Smith, and quickly shot to cult fame for its iconic axes and hard-wearing, good old-fashioned pieces like chore coats and handsome sweaters.

The company was later folded into the Duluth Trading Co. umbrella, at least for a time (after Buchanan-Smith’s departure), but the founder eventually bought his company back and retooled Best Made beginning in the fall of 2023. The real story, to hear its founder tell it, is longer and more nuanced, but there’s lots to dive into here — and it certainly won’t be the last time we talk about Best Made Co. on this Brooklyn menswear blog, my friends.

Learn more about the Best Made Co. story here

What a journey, right? The brand is back under its founder’s guidance, and as near as I can tell, the results are as tough, hard-working, rugged and functional as ever — which brings us to the Best Made Co. Wool-Lined Waxed Field Jacket, among other must-see staples from a newly resurgent Best Made Co. The company is as product-focused as ever, with a rugged ethos that looks to the great outdoors and heirloom design staples aplenty.

When it comes to the Best Made Co. Wool-Lined Waxed Field Jacket, the brand used its own proprietary Cruiser Jacket pattern to deliver a twist on an old-time favorite, using British Millerain waxed cotton for a durable shell that’s then bolstered from the inside with sturdy but supple Wyoming wool. To say Best Made Co. went all-out with this excellent-looking jacket is an understatement:

The company lined the sleeves of this field jacket in cotton twill herringbone, then used wool within its hand warmer pockets. Meanwhile, British corduroy finishes off the collar and cuffs, and incredibly, it all comes together right n New York City. They don’t make ’em like they used to, except when they do. If this is a new look at a new Best Made Co., then color me very impressed — the best is indeed yet to come, I’d wager.

The Thursday Buy: The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket Is a Bold Update to a Workwear Classic

It’s oftentimes difficult to deliver an update to a true classic, is it not? Think of the toughest, sturdiest denim jackets, the ones that truly harken back to yesteryear — they’re just a touch hard to find these days, are they not? Or at least, a new crop of the best denim jackets for men can prove difficult to find at a fair price, and that’s where Taylor Stitch can change your fortunes this season.

The right denim jacket is plenty sturdy and durable, crafted with the good stuff (in this case, organic cotton denim — more on that in a second), and if you’re in the right climate, you can layer it up accordingly right now, and then keep it handy to rock with lighter fare in the spring. Believe me, friends: It’s a move well-suited to both now and the future of your menswear wardrobe.

Yes indeed, the newly introduced Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket looks to iconic styles of days gone by, then spins things up with a uniquely Taylor Stitch twist — what a way to kick off a new year in style, ehh?

Find out more now at Taylor Stitch

The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket might be packed with sturdy bells and whistles, but certainly not in a bad way — like the handsome, rugged and effortlessly cool Taylor Stitch Mariner Peacoat (which I’ve also covered as part of my Taylor Stitch reviews on this men’s style blog), this denim jacket honors the classics while feeling entirely fresh and modern to wear.

The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket gets its durability from sturdy yet supple organic cotton selvedge denim in a hard-wearing 14oz. fabric weight (akin to that of your favorite selvedge jeans but perhaps with more heft). The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket is then left unlined, so take heed and layer it over a thick thermal henley, a cozy flannel shirt or a trusty fisherman sweater in colder temperatures.

Unlike other denim jackets, which rely on a button front, the Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket features a YKK zipper and sturdy contrasting hardware, plus slanted hip pockets — like the classic trucker jackets of days gone by.

Find out more now at Taylor Stitch

The Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket is finished with the right details as only Taylor Stitch can, like a leather back patch at the neckline, a chest pocket with an ultra-handy pen slot, and zig-zag stitching beneath its highly durable collar. If you want the durability of a tough denim jacket with a look all its own, then the handsome and modern Taylor Stitch Roper Jacket is your best bet this season (and well beyond, of course).

Style Pick of the Week: Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket – A Heritage-Approved Winter Outerwear Staple

If ever you feel like your rotation of winter style essentials is fully sorted out, be sure to keep your options open — you never know when you might need a timely upgrade in matters of form and function, and that’s where a heritage brand like Barbour can serve you very well.

Known as the premier British countryside outerwear brand for generations, Barbour is now a touch more modern and yet every bit as classically functional — especially now that a retailer like Huckberry sells plenty of Barbour winter jackets and more. Let’s take a closer look at Barbour and its mighty array of winter gear, yes?

Shop the best winter menswear at Barbour & Huckberry

Barbour silhouettes are often instantly recognizable, with heritage and history made to go far afield, whether hunting or taking on a coastal hike or a cabin weekend. Tried-and-true and reliable are apt words that come to mind when shopping Barbour winter jackets, particularly the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket (a best-seller at Huckberry that’s very much worth your time and money).

Huckberry gets it precisely correct, calling Barbour “a historic name in men’s outdoor apparel,” and that’s a spot-on estimation of a brand with more than 120 years of dependability in the outerwear game.

The Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket draws from classic field coats with a slimmer cut and a fit that hits closer to the hip, along with a stand-up collar and fleece lining for extra protection from the elements and supreme warmth without added bulk.

The Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket also boasts a snap-closure flap front and a two-way zipper design for a customizable fit — both geared to protect you from rain and wind while also offering mobility when riding a motorcycle or traversing extreme terrain.

Note that the handsome Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket features 50 grams of insulation, so it would pair best with additional layers beneath for added warmth (an ultra-thick parka, this is not — although that certainly doesn’t mean the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket isn’t more than ready for adventures off grid). The Sage color as shown here also boasts maximum versatility — exactly what you want in matters of style in the cold weather.

The corduroy-lined funnel neck design of the highly durable Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket is a major bonus as far as weather-ready performance is concerned, while you can use back waist tabs for a more snug fit.

And since this jacket is finished with (synthetic) leather details at the collar and cuffs, there’s an added dash of countryside flair as far as this exceptional men’s outdoor jacket as concerned.

As worthwhile a style move with charcoal wool trousers at the pub as with grey canvas work pants or dark blue jeans for a weekend away, the historic quality and reliable performance of the Barbour Powell Quilted Jacket could prove a catalyst for expertly crafted winter style and warmth this season. It’s yours for the taking from Huckberry, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Filson Down Cruiser Jacket is One of the Best Jackets for Winter Style

The very best gear you should be keeping your eyes on the horizon for this season has a real-world sense of toughness, rugged appeal and performance – and yes, it’s possible to check all of those boxes in one highly covetable winter jacket, particularly from one of the best heritage menswear brands on the market. It’s heady stuff, right?

And Filson has been making gear primed for Pacific Northwest winters for well over a century, a legacy that continues apace today — and a legacy that checks off all the boxes we noted above.

Find out more now and shop at Filson

Again, it’s heady stuff, right? And now, that lineup and legacy includes one of the best down jackets for men, a cross between a parka and a field coat via the aptly named Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket. It’s sturdy, it’s hard-working and it blends the best of both worlds: In this case, that means responsibly sourced down meets the waxed fabric for which Filson is famous, and then it’s done up in a rugged field coat-esque design made to go far afield (and then some, my friends — and then some).

The Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket boasts a highly durable two-tone Dark Tan blend of 8-oz. 100% cotton oil finish Cover Cloth and its famously hard-working 11-oz. 100% cotton oil finish Shelter Cloth, which is then filled with responsibly sourced down and finished off with ultra-warm merino wool trimmings at the collar and cuffs.

It’s the brand’s hardest-working fabrication with weather resistance and gets-better-with-age appeal in mind, as Filson sagely notes that “customers have described our Down Cruiser as, “like wearing a wood-burning stove.”” That sounds like precisely what your winter style rotation needs, does it not?

Durable custom hardware with snap closures down the front placket should keep you covered and ultra-warm in virtually any winter weather, while the handsome and highly functional Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket is packed with pockets to rival the company’s Mackinaw Wool Cruiser (another hybrid between a field coat and a more traditional peacoat, for instance).

Any time you look to lace up rugged leather boots, indigo denim and a chambray shirt over a thermal henley, complete your #OOTD with the tough-as-nails, investment-worthy Filson Waxed Canvas Down Jacket — winter’s best adventures nearly require it, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Superfleece Jacket Upgrades a Cold-Weather Closet Staple

There’s something to be said for finding a closet staple like one of the best winter jackets, and then taking that a step further with updated, modern fabrication and standout style.

Take the puffer jacket, made with quilted construction and down filling. It’s a sportswear staple, as fit for the slopes as it is for apres-ski drinks in a more casual setting — call it an adventure jacket with some travel-ready wearability, which just so happens to be a Huckberry specialty (my favorite retailer is, of course, the focus of today’s spotlight). Keep scrolling for more!

But some puffer jackets are overly technical and come in vivid colors without versatility — that’s where the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket enters your casually rugged technical outerwear rotation and changes the game quite handily.

It’s based off another Relwen outerwear staple, the Relwen Windzip Jacket, which is a more minimal and streamlined take on the classic puffer jacket — with a dash of military style inspiration thrown in, to boot.

So, you could certainly say that the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket from the Ohio-based, Huckberry-approved outfitter is as good as it gets, blending the best of both worlds in a technical yet eye-catching, casually fashionable way. It starts with a wildly durable water-resistant, breathable stretch shell that easily repels wind and rain (at least, in my experience wearing pieces like the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket).

From there, cozy and warm high-pile fleece gives the handsome Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket superior performance in cold temperatures (you should still opt for a heavier parka during a blizzard, all that being said). The Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket boasts technical features aplenty, including ripstop-lined sleeves that should offer an easy-on, easy-off layering experience, plus brushed tricot pockets for warmth (and a dash of softness as you carry your EDC on adventures far afield).

This Huckberry-approved jacket also features mix-and-match zipper and durable snap-front button closures, and it comes in five easily wearable colors that can be paired seamlessly with expertly faded jeans, stretch chinos or jogger pants as you hop from point A to point B.

As Huckberry notes, straddle-stitched seams enhance durability at key stress points, while reliably rugged construction throughout should make for a prime wearing experience on the go this season. If you’re on the hunt for a jacket to wear on your next seasonal excursion, the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket might just be the one, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save on the Famed Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket at Huckberry This Week

As we often talk about here on this Brooklyn style blog, it often pays off to have a roster of men’s style essentials you can count on in the clutch — preparing for whatever the season throws at you can go a long way.

The water-resistant outer shell comes in a hardy woven nylon-cotton blend for repelling water and wind, while 80-gram down insulation from recycled polyester adds warmth.

Granted, the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket isn’t rated for sub-zero temperatures necessarily, but should prove serviceable as a mighty fine winter jacket — perhaps atop a Relwen flannel shirt — provided you’re not traipsing through foot-high snow drifts (there are a variety of other men’s jackets at Huckberry that can tackle those scenarios).

The stand-up collar provides protection from the elements, useful inner and outer zipper pockets allow you to store your everyday carry essentials with ease, and the snap front closure further keeps out water and wind.

Shop men’s jackets and more at Huckberry

Consider the on-sale, tough-as-can-be Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket a fine casual outerwear move for days and nights on the go — particularly with Huckberry stretch chinos and perhaps lug-sole Chelsea boots for added traction.

The Thursday Buy: The Filson Foul Weather Jacket Is Ready for Anything This Season

They’ve outfitted explorers and prospectors, and they now stock a full lineup of men’s style essentials built for just about anything these days.

Filson men’s jackets are surely no different, especially when it comes down to the Filson Foul Weather Jacket. The key is the exterior in terms of toughness, which is built from the company’s famed oil finish Shelter Cloth.

That means it can stand up to wind, rain, snow and just about anything else you throw at it. Plus, the Filson Foul Weather Jacket is lined in the outfitter’s soft-yet-durable Cover Cloth fabric, and it only gets better from there.

You see, the iconic heritage outfitter thought of just about everything, using a seamless shoulder design for maximum ease of movement and even more room for layering without overdoing it. And the Filson Foul Weather Jacket has historical roots, too: The brand based it on an archival rain coat style, then updated it with those modern bells and whistles.

A snap-close storm flap and oversized removable hood deliver ideal protection, as does a collar latch, sure to come in handy on especially brisk days. Snap-tab sleeve cuffs offer an even further customizable fit and weather-ready protection, and it certainly seems to be the case that the Filson Foul Weather Jacket covers every possible situation and environment. If that sounds like a trusty winter jacket you should keep on hand, do yourself a favor and invest accordingly this winter.

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket – Your Wear-Anywhere Winter Jacket

Layering up for winter doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style entirely in the name of performance, as we often say here on the blog. In fact, your winter menswear essentials can meet that two-fold aim quite handily, and if you don’t believe me, look no further than Relwen, the Ohio-based, heritage-inspired brand sold by the good folks at Huckberry.

In my experience, Relwen delivers the right balance of timeless style and modern performance, whether it’s one of the best men’s shirt jackets or the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket — a fan favorite that assuredly lives up to its rugged-meets-stylish billing. A quilted jacket, after all, is among the better winter jackets to have on hand, with pockets of insulation and added warmth. And this particular option is something special indeed, all thanks to Relwen’s unique take on classic military styles.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket merges a diamond quilted exterior (for even insulation distribution) with a cotton flannel twill build, all the better for winter weather resistance. The stand-up collar delivers crucial coverage in cold weather, and Relwen packed the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket with a laundry list of helpful addition features.

Those include a zip chest pocket and a snap chest pocket, plus hip handwarmer pockets, all with plenty of space for your favorite everyday carry essentials. A leather zipper pull adds some visual interest and heritage quality to the streamlined fit of the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket, while contrasting interior colors add a shot of subtle style.

The best part about this rugged puffer jacket might be its hybrid sense of style — it’s got the utility of a field jacket along with the added coverage (as it hits below the hip), and it’s more stylish than other puffer jackets on the market.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket is the kind of grab-and-go jacket you can wear atop your favorite henley with blue jeans, or else as a layer on your commute atop one of the best Oxford shirts as you head in for a casual day at the office.
