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.

The Thursday Buy: This USA-Made Waxed Jacket from Devium Is as Tough and Stylish As It Gets

Best waxed jackets for men.

When blustery spring weather rolls into town, as I often say on this Brooklyn style blog, it certainly pays off to be prepared in advance. One crucial step in that process as you shore up you rotation of men’s style essentials?

That’s an easy one: Finding one of the best spring jackets to take on rain and wind. And if you’ve got the chance to do so while supporting a rugged, made-in-America company, that’s all the better — as with Devium, a newfound favorite brand here on the blog and one doing things the right way when it comes to the Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket (among other staple pieces made right here in the States).

Toughness and durability are the name of the game with the entire Devium lineup, which includes new twists on the classics, like hard-wearing flannel shirts, thick-knit henleys, sturdy T-shirts and of course, tough-as-nails outerwear like the Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket. It starts with a dependable Oxford weave waxed canvas in a 10oz. weight, the kind you can comfortably wear over everything from a henley to a classic pocket tee or a reliable chambray shirt.

The Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket is also lined in flannel (not unlike some of the best waxed canvas jackets from Huckberry and elsewhere), a touch I appreciate on brisk spring days and nights. Helpfully, the Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket retains plenty of classic touches that give it some spirit and style, including flannel-lined handwarmer pockets, an interior chest pocket for your phone and everyday carry, and a chest pocket finished off with an American-made zipper for added durability.

If it seems like Devium went the extra mile with the Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket, it’s because, well, they certainly did. In either the rich, whiskey-hued Buck color or a dark charcoal shade of Seaweed, the hard-wearing Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket should prove its worth, and then some.

The foldover collar can be turned up against the wind, while a fit that hits above the waist should prove ideal for styling in casually rugged fashion alongside a pair of the best blue jeans. And as with other stylish canvas jackets for spring, the Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket will break in over time, molding to your body with each wear.

It can certainly prove hard to find reliable menswear made in America, but the newly iconic, strong-as-can-be Devium Overdrive Waxed Canvas Jacket gets the job done in fine fashion — and then some. Add some USA-made gear from Devium to your menswear assortment today, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Best American-Made Menswear From Devium, A New Huckberry Jacket & A Winter Weekend Getaway

Devium menswear review.

It can sometimes be tough to find a brand doing things the old way — the hard way, the difficult way, like making some of the best American-made menswear. It’s something I’ve had the time to think about this week as we come to another edition of the Friday Read here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog.

And as with past menswear reviews on this site — including last week’s introduction to Vero Watches — I’m all about brands that go the extra mile when it comes to quality and craftsmanship, like California-based Devium.

The decade-old brand puts its money where its mouth is, so to speak, in matters of rugged workwear, American-made production and a full array of timeless styles (think hard-working trucker jackets, flannel shirts, canvas workwear, durable chinos and much more).

The Devium story — which starts with the company’s founding on Flag Day, of all days, in 2015, is an impressive one, with plain old fashioned hard work and 100 percent American-made construction at its core.

I’m excited to learn more about the brand, and I’d wager you’ll feel the same way as you dive into its flagship lineup, which includes a range of sturdy flannels, tough-as-nails waxed jackets and more. How’s that for a new brand to jumpstart your weekend? T

he company makes the sort of dependable, good-looking, hard-wearing menswear that should prove useful in plentiful style situations, including my next jaunt — my first trip of 2025, in fact, and a suitably winter-focused one.

I’m off with my love Mary to chilly Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, where a relaxing family weekend — think flannel shirts, whiskey, great food and even better times — awaits. To see how I’m outfitting myself and to find out what I’m sipping on, head over to my Instagram.

And before we head off into the weekend properly, let’s talk briefly about another must-buy style essential, the sort that should come in remarkably handy in terms of warmth, toughness, sturdy construction and long-lasting appeal.

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket.

What style selection could clear that very high bar and live up to the hype at the same time? The new Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Hooded Waxed Jacket, of course. Crafted from the same Martexin waxed sailcloth as the positively legendary, best-selling Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, the style adds a weather-ready waxed hood and keeps the same classic detailing, like durable hardware and a striped blanket lining.

It’s a workwear jacket built to last in every sense of the word, and it comes in two must-have colors: Field Tan and a rich shade of Forest. Either is a fitting addition to a highly functional, carefully considered and casually rugged (and useful) winter weekend wardrobe.

Between Devium and Huckberry, if you ask me, I’d say you’ve got plenty of gear to consider in the days ahead — and plenty of gear to break in and make all your own. Happy shopping and cheers to American-made menswear, my friends.
