Think of the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie as a change of pace that offers protection and functionality on summer adventures aplenty, and let’s go from there.

That’s because, well, just like your favorite USA-made shirt or everyday carry essentials, it’s now 25 percent off at Huckberry via the lauded Huckberry Sale section. And the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie is so well-designed, it just might change your mind entirely when it comes to how you layer up in the sun this summer — for days on the water, for beach strolls, for trail hikes and more.

The durable, eco-friendly nature of the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie starts with that performance fabric blend, which just so happens to be a lightweight bamboo viscose blend. That fabric wicks away moisture and offers UPF20+ sun protection.

It also comes complete with a crossover neck for full coverage in the sun, while the streamlined design fits close to your body, yet not so close you can’t wear another layer (say, one of the best merino T-shirts?) beneath it. And what’s even better about the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie is the fact that it packs down easily into a beach bag, tote or one of the best weekender bags when not in use.

Heck, the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie even boasts a left chest pocket for small everyday carry storage. In a range of light, breezy and neutral colors, it’s a prime seasonal layering move that’ll change how you dress for performance and comfort in the heat. And yes, that 25 percent discount won’t last forever, so shop accordingly now, my friends.

Free Fly Apparel review for men.

Free Fly Apparel makes gear for guys on the go, often using stretchy, sustainable materials like bamboo to make one of the best men’s henleys, as well as beach and sun hoodies, the best men’s stretch shorts and cozy weekender joggers and T-shirts.

It’s not quite workout gear, nor is it purely loungewear: It’s an ingenious approach that can add some comfort and style to laidback weekend looks, plus functionality for days spent on the road, on the trail or somewhere in between.

And when temperatures start to dip slightly and you need a cozy yet breathable, comfortable base layer, Free Fly Apparel more than has you covered.

Oh, and did I mention this essential men’s henley is 40 percent off at the moment? That’s a deal that’s hard to beat. In fact, mo fewer than seven stylish colors of Free Fly’s best-selling henley are on sale at the moment, and each is primed to perform well in rugged fashion this fall season (and beyond).

When it comes to the Free Fly Bamboo Heritage Henley, in my personal experience, it’s all about the expertly crafted blend of durable yet soft and supple fabric. The brand uses a cotton viscose fabric blend that repurposes fiber from bamboo, so it’s also environmentally conscious alongside its durability (and unique sense of style!).

The Free Fly Bamboo Heritage Henley should perform well as a breathable base layer beneath your favorite waxed trucker jacket or a classic chambray shirt, too. And you can even customize your fit and ventilation with the two-button placket on the Free Fly Bamboo Heritage Henley (a change of pace from a three or four-button placket). At the end of the day, reliable layers are key during the fall season, and this rugged-yet-soft henley is among the best of the bunch — shop, save and stock up ASAP.

The Friday Read: London, The Best New Boots & The Billy Reid Final Sale

My friends, good morning and welcome to another Friday Read here at your favorite menswear blog. We’re kicking things off in a slightly different fashion today, as my locale at the moment is a bit different from the ordinary. As we speak, I’m in the iconic city of London for a long-awaited trip to the very festival you see at the top of the page: That’d be All Points East, headlined by my favorite band… The National. Over the years, perhaps you’ve read my musings on the importance of travel, music and of course, traveling in style to see music, and it all comes together now on a fine, hot London summer day.

I was just in London — staying in the exceptionally cool neighborhood of Shoreditch — to celebrate 100 years of Dickies workwear (check out that link for a full story on the brand!), and I’m so thrilled to be back. Seeing as I bought these tickets last November, it’s been a long time coming.

You can follow along on my Instagram to keep up with all the fun, but in the meantime, just know that I’m very excited to see such a stunning band in such a cool city — and that’s an understatement. Also in the meantime: Let’s get back to menswear and get the rest of your weekend started in style, shall we? Sounds great to me. Cheers!

Best on-sale menswear.
  • Here’s something I think you’re going to like quite a bit to start your weekend. Billy Reid, one of the country’s finest menswear designers and a personal favorite of your Brooklyn style writer, is giving stylish folks like yourself the chance to save an extra 25 percent on Final Sale items, now through September 5th. Go to it and refresh your wardrobe with the best men’s style essentials in time for Labor Day weekend and beyond.
Best new fall menswear for guys.
  • We’ll keep the fall style must-haves rolling right here with my next recommendation. The team at Free Fly Apparel, makers of surprisingly stylish performance menswear that can take you anywhere, just launched the Free Fly Apparel Fall Collection, and it’s packed with durable canvas pants, easy-to-layer quarter-zip sweaters, lightweight hoodies and much more. Be sure to shop the best new fall menswear in time for your first fall getaway.
  • Now here’s a fun, aspirational way to close out today’s Friday Read. Over the past year and change, I’ve become a fan of fine Scotch (acquired taste though it might be!), and that’s why it’s so cool to see the jaw-dropping new whisky prototype from The Macallan and Bentley (yes, the automaker Bentley). Head to Maxim to read about some of the coolest whisky on the market.

Frontier 30 728x90

So, that trio of reading and shopping picks is going to round out today’s Friday Read. I’ve got some London pints to enjoy — I especially loved Camden Town Brewery during my June trip, along with the speakeasy Bermondsey Arts Club, and I’m hopeful to get back to both this next time around, too! Again, you can (and should!) follow along on my Instagram to keep up with my travels across the pond. Cheers and thanks for reading!
