The company is among my personal favorites for its mix of innovative design, technical prowess and, well, a serious cool factor that’s tough to top. That extends to AETHER Apparel sunglasses as well as one of the best men’s sweaters, to name two favorites — these are built with premium, durable materials, just as with many outdoor brands, but they haven’t skimped on rugged style, either.

You’ll find a bit of everything in this essential men’s style sale, from tough, streamlined puffer jackets to insulated winter parkas, quilted vests, cozy joggers and more, all in a range of vibrant colors (like the deep green Ghost Jacket shown at the top of the page).

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat – Huckberry’s Latest Winning Jacket

As the fall season rolls on, there’s not a piece I take more pride in wearing than a Flint and Tinder jacket. Or rather, any number of impossibly rugged, seriously cool Flint and Tinder waxed jackets from one of my favorite retailers, Huckberry. It’s not just one jacket or one style — it’s reliability and rugged good looks all the way across the board.

Shop menswear and gear now at Huckberry

And my friends, that list just grew by one, all with the introduction of the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat. It’s an ideal option to consider as we cruise into the holiday season and the rest of winter. That’s certainly saying something, considering how many of the best winter jackets that Huckberry already stocks and sells right now. Let’s take a closer look, yes?

The chore coat, in its own right, is a go-anywhere sort of option for fall and winter: It’s got the workwear stylings of a jacket you can wear from morning to night, what with its handy EDC pockets and hybrid appeal. Wear it over a long-sleeve tee, a durable henley or even an Oxford shirt — it can handle it, and then some. This particular number is also just one in a full lineup of the best men’s chore coats at Huckberry, of course.

The style works as well with dark blue denim at your favorite brewery as it does with stretch chinos and the best leather boots at a more casual office. Naturally, the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat has much of that same appeal, in a way that only Flint and Tinder can design.

The chest pocket and button flap patch pockets at the hips deliver crucial EDC storage space, and the fold-over collar can be flipped up against winter winds. Plus, the herringbone pattern is distinctive and a nice touch in brisk weather.

Polyester is bolstered by recycled wool for a touch of warmth, but keep in mind that this stretch chore coat isn’t as well-suited for winter storms as, say, your favorite parka. That being said, the rich Camel color of the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat is a fitting seasonal style choice, especially when teamed with dark blue Flint and Tinder denim (as is the Charcoal option shown above).

Shop the best chore coats and more at Huckberry

It’s yet another piece you can add to your rotation in your quest to build the perfect #OOTD using only pieces from Huckberry — it’s been a personal favorite of mine to do precisely that over the years, and this handsome chore coat makes that pursuit even easier. Last but not least: It’s part of Huckberry Black Friday discounts (at least as of press time), so go ahead and save while you shop now.

The Sunday Sale: Get 30 Percent Off this Rugged Taylor Stitch Field Jacket Today

It’s not all that often that the chance comes along to save on the best menswear essentials from a brand like Taylor Stitch, especially in stock in plenty of sizes — right? Now, we talked just recently on the blog about the surprisingly well-stocked Taylor Stitch Last Call section though, and it’s time to go back to that well once again.

Learn more at Taylor Stitch

This time around, spend your Sunday (or the rest of your week) sorting through rugged Taylor Stitch outerwear like the outstanding Taylor Stitch Field Jacket, a highly functional and surprisingly stylish piece of outerwear that manages to call to mind old-school British hunting coats, yet a modern sense of style. In a deep, rich Midnight navy color, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket is on sale for a whopping 30 percent off right now, and still available in the brand’s helpful range of chest sizes for a precise fit — and as I like to say, it only gets better from there.

You see, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket is almost the perfect jacket for the brand’s home climate of San Francisco, which can certainly get quite cold and blustery. And for a more temperate winter of your own, or for spring’s unpredictable, wet and wild weather, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket might be just the ticket.

As you might expect, the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket is made with classic field jacket touches, like a corduroy collar, yet the fit is streamlined and modern. It really comes down to the body of this tough yet supple jacket, though: It’s made from hard-wearing 100% organic cotton waxed canvas custom-developed for the brand (as with so many stylish Taylor Stitch jackets). That cotton canvas will develop patina over time, and you’ll certainly want to wear this handsome field jacket as often as possible, since roomy hip flap pockets and a zippered chest pocket provide all the EDC storage space you might need.

The bi-swing action back offers plenty of room to move, so you’ll want to layer up this jacket as often as possible through the end of winter into spring. The list of positives stretches on with the Taylor Stitch Field Jacket, but the key is this: You need this durable, dependable jacket in your wardrobe for 30 percent off right now.

I’ll go ahead and remind you again to shop the Huckberry Sale section to find (at least today) your new favorite winter puffer jacket.

You’ll find said winter jacket via Wellen, an in-house brand at Huckberry that’s all about sustainable, stylish production and surf-inspired styles, from outerwear to breezy overshirts and yes, the Wellen Big Wave Puffer Jacket. There’s plenty to love about this puffer jacket, starting with two visually appealing, very on-trend and ’80s-style colorblocked designs.

Think of the Wellen Big Wave Puffer Jacket like a retro ski jacket, but all the better given the modern technology that goes into it. The outer shell and interior lining hit the right notes in terms of sustainability (they’re both made from recycled nylon), while the recycled polyester insulation comes from plastic water bottles.

For good measure, the Wellen Big Wave Puffer Jacket features both a snap front and zipper closure, plus elastic cuffs for a snug fit and winter-ready weather protection. And it’s worth noting that, true to form, the Wellen Big Wave Puffer Jacket features an eye-catching wave pattern for a touch of coastal style. One last time: Notably, the Wellen Big Wave Puffer Jacket is on sale for 40 percent off right now. Act quickly and layer up accordingly, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket – Winter’s Best Go-Anywhere Jacket

Preparation makes perfect when curating your wardrobe of menswear essentials — or rather, perfect preparation does, in fact, make for the perfect set of curated style picks, like one of the best men’s winter jackets. It’s all about having the right tools on hand for the job, particularly on those days when winter throws you for a loop and feels (slightly) more like spring — for those situations (and more!) turn to the polished, casually cool Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket. It’s your new favorite casual jacket, well-suited for those days when you need a polished jacket for that Zoom call or quick trips around town or, well, just about anything else.

Helpfully, the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket falls right in line with the brand’s ethos: Crisp, comfortable performance menswear made to suit just about any scenario: Cozy tailored sweats for stylish at-home lounging, one of the best shirt jackets or a set of stretch pants for days at the office, and yes, picks like one of the best men’s casual jackets (that’d be the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket) for a little bit of everything in between.

When you need a jacket that blends sleek performance with versatile style, the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket checks all the boxes. Let’s find out why, shall we?

Notably, the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket bridges the gap between a front-zip workout jacket and a casual bomber jacket — it’s made from water-resistant, stretchy recycled polyester fabric, but racks up the crisp style points and does away with an athletic logo. Think of the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket like a grab-and-go jacket — throw it on over a Mack Weldon T-shirt or your favorite henley, pair it with Mack Weldon joggers and get out the door in cozy, comfortable style. Note that it also comes in a half-zip design in three cool, neutral colors.

Of course, the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket manages to take things a step further than the typical casual coat — note the hidden interior zip pocket for your EDC, plus the exterior front zip chest pocket. For good measure, the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket features a seam-sealed front zipper design, so you can wear it out and about when it’s breezy or drizzling.

Now, this lightweight jacket isn’t one to wear out on its own during a winter blizzard, but on more temperate days, this stylish zip jacket should perform more than adequately. It’s also priced fairly given that it’s sharp enough to work at a casual office alongside a Mack Weldon Oxford shirt, but cool enough to wear any time at all the rest of the week. Figure out your next essential winter layer right now: It’s the Mack Weldon Atlas Full-Zip Jacket

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Waxed Trucker Jacket – Winter’s Most Rugged Jacket

It’s hard not to love when one of your favorite brands makes a slightly unexpected style swerve, delivering something entirely new and seriously cool in the process. Take Billy Reid, for instance. The Alabama-based brand and personal favorite has a knack for making some of the most refined menswear on the market, whether it be the timeless Billy Reid Bond Peacoat or some of the best shirts for men on the daily.

But what about when Billy Reid wants to switch things up a bit and go more rugged than refined? That’s what we have here with the simply stellar. well-crafted and impossibly cool Billy Reid Waxed Trucker Jacket. It’s part of a host of Billy Reid’s New Arrivals for winter, and it’s here not a moment too soon if you want to shake up your seasonal layering rotation.

Available in both Tan and Grey, the Billy Reid Waxed Trucker Jacket checks all the right boxes if it’s standout, hard-wearing design you want from your next winter jacket purchase. Sure, it’s not quite as blizzard-ready as one of the best men’s parkas, but for laidback seasonal style with a sense of expert cool, the Billy Reid Waxed Trucker Jacket goes the distance.

What really makes the Billy Reid Waxed Trucker Jacket so essential? Waxed cotton from famed fabric makers Halley Stevensons gives this jacket truly rugged appeal, while custom brass hardware adds a touch of handsome contrast on the front placket and chest front-button pockets.

The Billy Reid Waxed Trucker Jacket is also outfitted with touches unique to Billy Reid, like the designer’s signature ribbon stripe detailing, and the sleeves of this seriously cool trucker jacket are lined with cotton and polyester for an easy-on, easy-off fit. And to be sure, the Billy Reid Waxed Trucker Jacket is indeed pricier than other waxed trucker jackets on the market (including the fan favorite Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket), but if you want to give a new style a shot this season, it’s hard to go wrong with Billy Reid.

See Now, Buy Now: This Buck Mason Shawl Jacket is the Perfect Men’s Coat for Winter

While there are assuredly some men’s style essentials that are a bit more straightforward, like one of the best shawl cardigans or one of winter’s best blazers, there are other menswear picks that blur the lines between the two — in a way that’s rugged, stylish and seriously cool all the while. Take the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket, a near-perfect mash-up of two standout style picks for men this winter (the aforementioned blazer and shawl cardigan).

You’ll find it, of course, in the Buck Mason New Arrivals section, and it’s here just in time for a little post-Christmas, pre-New Year’s dressing (and well beyond that, naturally). The Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket is the sort of piece that, like the brand’s classic Oxford shirts or timeless blue jeans, sits in both the past and the present, with a wear-anywhere quality that works back at the office, on the road or on a Zoom call from home.

That’s because of the hybrid style, of course, and the high-quality specs (keep scrolling for more).

You see, the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket manages to be easy to layer — thanks to the brushed back French Terry cotton fabric — as well as relatively warm at the same time. You should certainly be able to layer the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket over one of the brand’s expertly cut and washed shirts, while the shawl collar provides extra protection at the neck (wear it inside the house on drafty days or use it as a mid-layer beneath your favorite peacoat when temperatures plummet).

The Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket also features some more appealing visual details that make it one of the coolest casual men’s jackets out there, like hip patch pockets (similar to a blazer). Double-needle stitching adds a nice dash of durability, while articulated sleeves make it easy to move around even when layered up.

And of course, the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket is nothing if not timeless in terms of color, be it the Classic Grey option or deep Jet. Either would wear well with some Buck Mason men’s jeans or chinos, any day of the week and any time winter weather hits. Your search for a go-anywhere winter jacket is complete, thanks to the arrival of the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket. You know where to find it, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Proof Volt Parka – The Best Men’s Winter Jacket for Layering

Now that we’ve incredibly hit the first of the new year, believe it or not, let’s turn our attention to the matter at hand: Snapping up one of the best men’s winter jackets for immediate winter warmth and plenty of style. Of course, Huckberry is the place to go for said winter jacket, and as to be expected with the San Francisco retailer, they’re doing a little bit more than just stocking and selling any old winter parka. No sir, the Proof Volt Parka is probably one of the coolest winter jackets this Brooklyn writer has seen, and that’s a compliment of the highest order.

Get your new favorite winter jacket ASAP

If you quite literally want a jacket that’s engineered to deliver heat with the touch of a button, you’ve found it in the Proof Volt Parka. That’s right: This durable winter parka is built with three battery-powered heating panels within the jacket itself (one back panel and two chest panels), making it unlike any winter jacket on the market. It’s the kind of innovation seemingly only Huckberry can dream up, and that’s great news for yourself and anyone else who wants one of the best men’s winter jackets.

It’s like a warm hug to lift your soul through cold winter days, but beyond that, the Proof Volt Parka is simply a great winter jacket for layering and seasonal excursions, innovative technology aside. The nylon shell, made with stretch fabric for ease of movement, is coated with DWR technology to take on blustery winter winds and snowy weather. And beyond just those helpful and remarkable heating panels, the Proof Volt Parka features down insulation to deliver stunning warmth all on its own, especially when layered with one of the best thermal shirts and a rugged flannel overshirt. The rest of the specs on the Proof Volt Parka are also too good to pass up, from the metallic lining (made to store heat from the battery packs) to the useful drawstring hood. Equipped with an energy-efficient rechargeable battery (which you’ll have to snag on your own), the heating panels can last for up to 8 hours in especially chilly conditions.

Try out your new favorite winter jacket

For hitting the slopes, hitting the road or hitting the town, there might not be a better jacket to have in your wardrobe and on your shoulders than the ready-for-anything Proof Volt Parka. It’s more expensive than your average winter jacket, sure, but then again, that’s the Huckberry difference. If you do manage to snag it, let me know on Twitter. Cheers and here’s to the new year!
