The Thursday Buy: These Faherty Brand Stretch Five-Pocket Pants are as Versatile As It Gets

Best five-pocket pants for men.

A reliable twist on the classics is sometimes a welcome change of pace, especially as you look for menswear essentials to carry you from late summer into early fall. I can hardly think of a better option for the days ahead than the Faherty Brand Stretch Terry Pants, a fresh take on the five-pocket pant that manages to be more dressy than your favorite jeans, and yet more laidback than chinos.

They’re the best of both worlds, as you’ll often find with Faherty Brand (sold reliably by my friends at Huckberry, of course).

The company specializes in ultra-soft, expertly crafted flannel shirts and Oxford shirting, not to mention classic T-shirts, shorts and hoodies — all with coastal flair and most featuring soft garment-dyed or washed finishes for a casually cool touch.

The Faherty Stretch Terry Five-Pocket Pants get all the details right, from metal rivet-reinforced pockets to a classic slim-straight leg cut that wears well with rugged leather boots or crisp leather sneakers (look for earth tones in both pants and footwear to really drive home that early fall aesthetic.

The stretch fabric (a terry cotton, for good measure) should feel comfortable no matter what, and in my experience, I’ve found that Faherty Brand pants and chinos hold their shape and durability over time.

It helps that your new favorite pants are also available in a wide range of colors to suit every taste and style, and waist sizes in some colors run up to size 42. So, you’ve got effortlessly versatile pants made from durable fabric, featuring rugged-yet-refined appeal for early fall pursuits more casual (brewery beers, anyone?) and more crisp (a day at the office). Sounds like these are a surefire winner in any season, but especially right now.

By this point in the summer, you very well might feel you’ve exhausted your options as far as the best summer style essentials go. After all, there’s only so many times you can reach for one of the best men’s T-shirts or even a pair of the best men’s shorts without it all feeling a bit routine, right?

I’m here to tell you that’s not always the case, especially if you shop one of my favorite brands of the moment: The good folks at Faherty Brand have delivered perhaps your new favorite pair of shorts, with just enough stylish tweaks to make ’em feel fresh, breezy and utterly cool.

It also goes without saying that Faherty is as reliable a resource as any for one of the best summer shirts, so what could be a better complementary piece than new shorts in a fresh cut? There’s not much, particularly when casual style situations come calling — that goes for BBQs, backyard hangs, brewery beers and coastal getaways, and the Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts are practically an essential selection.

For starters, the Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts take retro style cues and bring them forward into the 21st century, using details like a shorter, flattering 6-inch inseam as the canvas for some throwback-inspired shorts.

Coastal style inspiration makes these some seriously stylish shorts for men, and the use of knit cord made from organic cotton gives them nice texture and a light, soft and even stretchy feel. Best of all is the fact that they feature an elastic drawcord waist for plenty of comfort.

And yet, folks needn’t be any the wiser that you’re going belt-less, at least if your T-shirt or polo hits at or slightly below that waistband. The Faherty Essential Italian Knit Cord Shorts also cover off nicely in matters of style, what with a range of flattering color options ranging from earth tones to a dusty pink and a handsome cream color.

Comfort and variety remain the name of the game when it comes to these stylish cord shorts, which are just different enough from modern chino shorts to add some fresh style to your wardrobe — yes, even in the summer heat. Happy shopping out there, my friends.

Faherty shawl cardigan.

It seems that here on the blog as of late, we’ve been talking a lot about the best cardigans for men in pursuit of giving you plenty of stylish options for winter layering. I’m personally a huge fan of the shawl cardigan, with its rugged roots and its flattering look.

Between the face-framing shawl collar and the nicely textured knit on most of my favorite cardigans, it’s a classic option that shows why the shawl collar cardigan was a favorite of style icons like Steve McQueen (as I so often mention here on the blog).

I loved the soft handfeel and luxurious knit, along with the fact that you can layer it easily over an Oxford or chambray shirt — the fit runs true to size, and it’s got a substantial feel that’s not overly heavy. The And if you were interested in upgrading your wardrobe of men’s style essentials while saving a few bucks, well, allow me: The Faherty Marled Cotton Cardigan is made with a blend of cotton for structure and cashmere for softness, while real horn buttons give it an even more premium feel.

In short, it’s a stylish men’s sweater that’s much more expensive than its current price tag, with a flattering fit and timeless appeal (Faherty wouldn’t have it any other way, after all). If you like what you see above, then you’ve just found your next winter wardrobe upgrade.

The Friday Read: The Best Faherty Menswear, A New Tag Heuer Watch & Your New Summer Pants

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines as we race into another fine summer weekend. I’m back in Brooklyn after what proved to be a momentous Memorial Day back in the Midwest — Indiana, to be more specific, for the one and only Indianapolis 500 with Tag Heuer. And what a weekend it was! Astonishing and memorable doesn’t begin to cover it.

The trip was part of my many freelance writing pursuits, which includes covering new watches from Tag Heuer (and plenty more, as you know if you follow me on Instagram!). For the time being, I’m back in Brooklyn and looking forward to a touch of downtime this weekend as I work on stories for Maxim.com (among other outlets, of course!).

Along the way, I’ll be wearing one of my new favorite shirts from Faherty Brand, the fast-growing, NYC-based menswear brand that’s making a splash in the world of versatile, casual everyday style. I’ve been a fan of Faherty Brand for years, as you’ll see below, but consider giving the brand a look to roll into your weekend (in my experience, I’ve found that Faherty men’s shirts are super-soft and well-fitting).

For now, let’s dive into that brand specifically to start the weekend off the proper way — with a few other menswear updates to follow. Cheers and thanks for reading!

  • Now, I just nodded toward my love of Faherty Brand above — let’s take that just a touch deeper, shall we? In fact, I got an even better look at what makes the ever-popular Faherty Brand tick, as I covered my five favorite essentials of the moment over at Fatherly. Its stretch chinos, ultra-soft T-shirts and expertly cut buttondowns are rugged in terms of looks, but super-comfortable in terms of feel, and that’s a balance I can get behind. Read more at Fatherly and see for yourself.

  • Sure, the good folks at Faherty Brand offer up plenty of stylish menswear for summer, but allow me to recommend another brand I think you’ll enjoy if you love mixing style and performance this season. You can view that brand above here briefly: That’s Western Rise, the Colorado-based outfitter that mixes durable performance fabrics with modern silhouettes, like its abrasion and stain-resistant, stretchy five-pocket pants. They blend the look of a chino with the durability and rugged appeal of the best hiking pants, and you can read more about the Western Rise Evolution Pants here in this recent Western Rise review by yours truly.
  • I just mentioned that I also had the chance to visit the Indianapolis 500 with Tag Heuer, but that’s not all. Across the pond & within the luxe confines of Monaco, Tag Heuer sponsored the iconic Monaco Grand Prix last weekend — for good measure, they released three new watches to celebrate 80 years of the race, and I wrote about all three over at Maxim. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines, indeed.

Style Pick of the Week: Faherty Brand Tried And True Shirt – An All-Time Style Classic

Best men's denim shirt for summer.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you appreciate menswear styles that stand the test of time, that tend to look good from season to season and year to year, and even era to era. Take one of the best denim shirts for men — or in this case, one of the best indigo shirts for men, made from an innovative, modern fabric blend.

The shirt in question today is the Faherty Tried and True Shirt, released to celebrate the easygoing, coastal style-meets-rugged-classics appeal of the New York City brand’s 10th anniversary. And if you ask me, this shirt (a new favorite and possibly one of the best men’s shirts for summer) lives up to its name, and then some.

Faherty seems to rise to the occasion in multiple seasons, be it making a breezy knit shirt as one of the best men’s shirts for spring, or else going a touch more rugged with waxed outerwear, or a touch more versatile with stylish stretch chinos. And quite literally true to its name, the Faherty Tried and True Shirt is another fine addition to the brand’s stable of casual, laidback yet crisp shirts, shorts and chinos.

It starts with the light blue Vintage Indigo color, but the aforementioned modern fabric — a blend of Tencel and linen for stretch and breathability — helps things along quite nicely.

Four-hole urea buttons add a touch of contrast to the Faherty Tried and True Shirt, but it’s that soft wash that’s going to make all the difference this summer. It should prove comfortable enough to wear on its own, sleeves rolled up alongside your favorite pair of chinos at the office, but the Faherty Tried and True Shirt really excels in more easygoing yet classic situations.

Take the Faherty Tried and True Shirt for a spin with classic dark blue jeans for a timeless combo on cooler spring and summer nights, or wear this handsome indigo shirt atop a classic graphic tee or pocket T-shirt for days on the water. The thing is, with a comfortable and casually cool shirt like the Faherty Tried and True Shirt, you can do just about anything — as long as you add it to your wardrobe starting this weekend.

If you end up picking up this shirt, let me know in the comments — stay stylish, and thanks for reading!
