See Now, Buy Now: This Lightweight Wills Chore Coat from Huckberry is a Reliable Layer on Cool Spring and Summer Nights

Best chore coats for men to wear this spring.

Don’t let the warmer temperatures fool you this season: There are certainly going to be days and nights where cooler weather rolls back into town, and you’re going to want to be prepared.

While I’m willing to bet you’ve safely stowed away your hefty winter parka or shearling leather jacket, there’s something to be said for keeping one of the best men’s chore coats close at hand, with its tightly woven, durable yet lightweight build and rugged appeal.

And since those are the boxes we’re looking to check today, there’s one place you’re going to want to go, and that’s Huckberry — how could it be any other brand, ehh?

And although the site just got a truly excellent-looking makeover by way of a refreshed design, the quality and consistency of its slate of in-house brands should remain steadfast and highly appealing, and it’s with that longevity in mind that we dive into the versatility of the Wills Cotton Linen Chore Jacket for your rotation of the best spring menswear, my friends.

There’s an elevated, modern-meets-classic appeal to the Wills lineup of menswear at Huckberry, be it the brand’s super-soft cashmere sweaters, breezy tailoring or slightly more rugged selections like the c.

To hear Huckberry tell it, this classically inspired jacket “blends classic workwear utility with breathable comfort,” and in this instance, that means your new favorite chore jacket boasts a 70 percent cotton, 30 percent linen build for added structure and texture (that holds true whether you pick it up in Dark Olive or a dressier, blazer replacement-friendly Dark Navy).

The utilitarian nature of the Wills Cotton Linen Chore Jacket takes its cues from timeless French workwear jackets, with a button front, a foldover collar, button cuffs and two hip patch pockets. While it’s polished enough to wear over a white Oxford shirt alongside light khaki-hued chinos, you can also embrace full-on workwear with selvedge denim and an off-white henley, plus broken-in leather boots, this season.

The Wills Cotton Linen Chore Jacket should prove serviceable when worn over a breezy slub pocket tee or a contrasting chambray shirt in cooler climes, with a fit that leans classic yet tailored without veering too far into ultra-slim or ultra-relaxed territory. Think of it like a grab-and-go jacket that can do everything from replace a blazer (based on your office dress code, that is) or serve as a handsome, functional travel jacket.

One of the best chore coats for men brings a heck of a lot to your wardrobe, at least in my humble opinion — give it a shot this spring from the revamped Huckberry site and see for yourself.

The Tuesday Steal: These Work-Focused Chukka Boots from Huckberry and Rhodes Footwear Belong On Your Feet

Best men's chukka boots.

Another day, another foray into spring style essentials, and we once again find ourselves talking, if briefly, about the best footwear for men — in this case, we’re diving into a slightly more rugged pair than yesterday’s feature on the best new boat shoes from Astorflex. Instead, let’s turn towards the humble, hard-working chukka, once again offered up by our friends at Huckberry.

Shop seasonal style essentials and more at Huckberry

While style legends like Steve McQueen made the chukka boot an easygoing yet rugged staple, Rhodes Footwear now takes that same DNA to heart decades later and ramps things up a notch in terms of dependable, workwear-inspired style and utility.

Granted, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots aren’t as spring cleaning-approved as steel-toe lace up work boots, so the style perhaps wears more stylishly for off-duty pursuits, but the rugged name remains the same — and just as worthy of your consideration. Throw in the fact that your new favorite chukka boots are marked down by more than $100, and the gettin’ is as good as it’s ever been when it comes to the best footwear to buy now from Huckberry.

For those not in the know quite yet, Rhodes Footwear is the in-house, classically inspired footwear brand from Huckberry — essentially, from moc toe wedge boots to durable chukka boots and even sneaker boots, these shoes pair expertly with other Huckberry-branded favorites, from waxed trucker jackets to expertly faded selvedge denim.

The Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots hail from footwear capital Leon, Mexico, a place that knows a thing or two about expert footwear craftsmanship, while the company’s lightweight Meramec PU outsole delivers rebound and springy comfort, while a leather-lined insole molds to your foot and provides a further dose of comfort.

Available in Taupe and a rich Cognac leather, the Rhodes Footwear Work Chukka Boots pair easygoing good looks with plenty of durability for the low, low price of $125 — you might not find a better deal on the best men’s chukka boots than this pair here, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer – A Timeless Wardrobe Addition In Any Season (Including This One)

If your the front of your fridge looks anything like mine, perhaps wedding invites and Save The Dates are stacking up — yes, formal shindigs aplenty are on the horizon, and you’re going to ultimately want to put your best foot forward with menswear essentials aplenty done the right way. Provided your following the dress code in question, one of the best blazers or one of the finest suits for men should do the trick nicely, particularly if you’re opting for accessible quality and versatile style.

One of the best navy blazers is now yours for the taking via the good folks at Huckberry, who’ve launched a whole slew of wedding-approved and Smart Casual menswear favorites, including some pleasingly refined seasonal upgrades from in-house brand Wills.

Shop refined seasonal favorites from Wills and Huckberry

Wills is perhaps best known for its buttery-soft, classic cashmere sweaters and other polished, crisp menswear staples, and the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer lives up to its billing with elegance in mind.

Whether paired with its matching suit trousers and brown leather loafers or styled separately with lightweight stretch chinos and a stylish dress shirt (which Wills also happens to make!), the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer is billed by Huckberry as a “perfectly tailored, all-season suit jacket that rises to every occasion” — add in the fact that it’s handmade in Portugal at a family-run factory known for its commitment to quality tailoring, and the ante is upped even further, as we like to say.

Best navy blazer for men.

Made from a blend of just a touch of Spandex to add durability to its 98 percent Portuguese High-Twist Wool construction, this fully lined jacket uses soft, supple Bemberg lining for a touch that gives it a bespoke feel without the price tag of going custom. The Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer boasts a natural shoulder, classic-but-modern lapels and a tailored fit in sizes running up to 46.

Wills menswear review.

The angled welt chest pocket is a distinctive touch that separates the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer from the pack as far as other navy blazers are concerned, while it also features three-roll-two construction (three buttons down the front, with the lapels rolled to cover the top button — a classic and classy move favored as of late by none other than James Bond himself.

Best blazers for men.

This jacket manages to feel polished without going overboard and turning into a rather stuffy gold-button navy blazer — it’s a perfect go-between when the dress code calls for a sharply tailored dress shirt, but a tie might prove optional.

And when you pair up the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer with its matching pants (note that the jacket itself comes in either Charcoal or Navy), you’re getting crisply finished tailoring with a sense of laidback ease — isn’t that what every guy should look for this season in one of the best blazers for men? Count on it, my friends, and suit up accordingly.

Let’s keep on keepin’ on, shall we?

Shop the best new gear for spring at Huckberry

That goes double for the Huckberry Sale section, which is packed with everything from rugged waxed outerwear to essential everyday shirting, classic blue jeans, must-buy chukka boots, handsome leather dress boots, durable henleys and more everyday carry accessories than you can shake a stick at. If you want a bit of a wardrobe refresh, even something as simply as a retro-minded trucker hat or a new performance T-shirt from Huckberry for the road ahead, the Americana retailer certainly has precisely what you need.

That’s a high bar to clear, but if you know anything about this burgeoning retailer, then I’d say the Huckberry Sale section delivers — and with the chance to score an extra 15 percent off on-sale items, the opportunity awaits to breeze into a new season more stylish and reliably ready than ever.

See Now, Buy Now: This Flint and Tinder Western Shirt is a New (Early) Spring Style Favorite

Flint and Tinder men's shirts review.

How do you prepare your menswear wardrobe for the next season ahead while staying stylishly, squarely in the current season at hand? In my experience, that’s where helpful tricks of the trade come in handy: Looking for staple pieces that deliver easy wearability and timeless good looks is the name of the game, and as seems to be the case lately (and in many other seasons), the good folks at Huckberry get the job done with fresh yet utterly classic style selections.

That includes pieces that are ever so slightly on trend while remaining firmly wearable and delivering rugged good looks, like one of the best Western shirts for men. Western style, from boots to cowboy-cut denim to durable Western shirts and ranch-inspired jackets, is all the rage at the moment, but it’s a trend rooted in the classics that you can make work for you — and then some.

Shop new spring gear and more at Huckerry

Take the Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt, part of a slew of new arrivals at Huckberry these days as we cast an eye towards spring. While Huckberry’s famed Flint and Tinder line relies on essentials both casual — like the iconic Flint and Tinder 10-Year Hoodie — as well as slightly dressier (like its Flint and Tinder 365 Pants), the handsome Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt is somewhere in between, as wearable with stretch chinos as with expertly faded blue jeans from the fan-favorite retailer.

The Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt gets the details right in matters of classic good looks and fresh, modern style, using 100 percent cotton construction in a durable build finished with cow bone buttons for authenticity. Western detailing abounds across the Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt, as luck would have it, including single point dual chest pockets and a Western yoke across the front and back shoulders.

The plaid colorway is, again as luck would have it, spring-friendly in every way possible, with a more versatile look and feel compared to denim shirting from the F&T line. Featuring durable stitching and a fit designed to look great untucked (or tucked in beneath a lightweight cotton blazer for a spring-ready change of pace), I’d say that yet again, Huckberry has thought of positively everything when it comes to the design and build of the Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt, your new favorite early (early) spring style move, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket – A Menswear Icon Is Yours for the Takinng

Barbour Bedale Jacket review.

As we think ever so slightly about storing away your trusty winter jacket rotation in the weeks ahead, it’s wise to plan for the transition to the breezy yet still brisk climes of spring. And that’s where menswear classics can prove handy right now and in the weeks and months ahead, particularly as far as rugged, dependable and timeless outerwear is concerned.

And as we often say on this Brooklyn style blog, the classics are the classics for a reason, with a history of rugged performance in the field, striking good looks in every stitch and versatile appeal to wear with outfits slightly more casual and perhaps a bit more polished.

My friends, Huckberry has a full roster of new spring style arrivals that fit the bill in this regard — and then some — starting with the Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket, which absolutely lives up to its stylish, reliable billing.

Find out more and shop early spring gear at Huckberry

The Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket was first put to the test as a countryside staple across England and Scotland, with particular use for hunting and field expeditions, thanks to its tough waxed cotton construction and classic details like a corduroy collar and cuffs for warmth and utility. These days, it gets a modern update in a distinctive Fern color, not to mention a new peached-finish take on its utterly iconic fabrication.

The Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket also includes a plethora of pockets for your everyday carry essentials, including moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets and deep bellows pockets for storing all the tools of the trade you need for a day in the field. And to hear Huckberry tell it, the peached-finish process offers “subtle weather resistance” all the while, never a bad quality to have in one of the best spring jackets for men.

Note that unlike other models of this legendary jacket, corduroy cuffs are swapped out for tartan fabric, while durable snap buttons complement a two-way front zipper for a customizable fit that aids in mobility on and off the trail. With the rugged Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket, you’ve simply got options: Its fit should prove more classic and relaxed (it’s right in the name, after all), with room to layer essentials like a thermal henley and a lightweight flannel or chambray shirt for warmth.

And whether worn with corduroy trousers and leather moc toe boots for essential high-low style, or teamed with canvas work pants and a thermal base layer for gentleman’s pursuits in the field, you might say it doesn’t get more classic, classically cool or durable than a staple piece made modern, like the Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket. If that lines up with your spring style pursuits, shop accordingly for the weeks ahead, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Wills Sweater Chore Coat from Huckberry Elevates Any Casual #OOTD In Every Season

At the best of times, you’ve got every base covered, so to speak, in your #menswear wardrobe — from sweaters to chore coats to the hard-working blazer and the classic Oxford shirt, the building blocks are the building blocks for a reason. And when you find a piece that toes the line between two different categories, the ante is upped even further. Versatility is the name of the game, and when a style essential delivers a bit of both (in the case of the sweater chore coat above, both rugged appeal and casual ease), well, that’s the sweet spot, at least in my experience.

And of course, the good folks at Huckberry have you covered in this regard, especially when it comes to the new Wills Sweater Chore Coat, which could prove a crucial part of your next winter #OOTD.

Shop menswear essentials at Huckberry

Just introduced as part of an early look at spring menswear at Huckberry, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat carries on the sense of elevated ease and go-anywhere potential you’ll find across the rest of the Wills lineup, which also boasts luxe sweaters, casually cool sweater polos, crisp blazers and tailored trousers aplenty. The Wills Sweater Chore Coat, as we talked about before, rests somewhere between rugged and refined, which is never a bad thing to have more of in your rotation of winter style essentials.

And while some versions of the best chore coats for men indeed lean more rugged and are crafted from materials like tough cotton canvas, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat leans more refined and crisply tailored. That’s because of its sweater-like build, made from a soft cotton-nylon blend for durability and performance without losing its shape.

Finished with chore coat details like a chest patch pocket and two front hip patch pockets for your everyday carry, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat also features a lay-flat, shirt-esque collar that can be layered with ease atop your favorite denim shirt or a more rugged chambray shirt (or a henley, or a classic crewneck tee — you get the idea). With the Wills Sweater Chore Coat, the style world is your oyster, relatively speaking.

In easily wearable colors like crisp Navy or a light tan brown that would pair well with olive chinos or dark blue or black jeans in equal measure, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat delivers the right mix of crisp, easy-to-layer ease. As Huckberry so aptly puts it, this handsome chore coat delivers “the comfort of your favorite sweater with chore coat utility,” and that’s a perfect balance for your menswear wardrobe, at least in my book. Would you expect anything less from Huckberry? I should think not, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed Jacket Is Your Next Go-Anywhere Casual Layer

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket review.

If there’s one thing on my mind every time I step out into the snowy streets of Brooklyn, it’s the need — a deep need — for a darn good, tough-as-nails, hard-wearing winter coat these days. Not just any coat meets that mantle — the best winter jackets for men need to layer with ease, fight off wind and sleet, and look good while doing it — in casually rugged fashion, of course.

And while your rotation of the best winter menswear probably has a durable parka or a puffer jacket at the very minimum, rugged versatility and variety is never a bad thing. In fact, every guy can use a stable of options as far the best men’s winter jackets are concerned — and as I always say, if you can find one up for grabs at a discount within the confines of, say, the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, you should certainly make haste.

Shop the best winter gear now at Huckberry

That brings us to a seasonal layering staple, one you can wear well into spring when the snow finally tapers off: That’d be the hard-working, sleek Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket, just the latest foray into the best waxed jackets for men from the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder. It’s the best of all worlds, I say, as you shop the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, between the combination of rugged, durable staples, winter style points, functionality and savings — and this dependable, casual sits nicely at the cross-section of those categories, does it not?

The Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket looks like the kind of grab-and-go jacket every guy can use, more capable at repelling wind and rain than a nylon puffer jacket, and every bit as streamlined for casually rugged fashion (Think: Atop blue jeans and a chambray shirt or thermal henley on “balmy” days, and atop a fisherman sweater as temperatures plummet).

Billed by Huckberry itself as a “waxed canvas puffer that’s a city slicker by day and cabin dweller by the weekend,” it’s also finished off internally with recycled Primaloft insulation and useful details like a stand-up collar and welt-snap hip pockets (plus an interior chest pocket) for your ever-critical daily carry.

And while sizes of the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket are going fast in certain colors, there are more than enough options in highly neutral, easily wearable colors like Grey or Olive. And for the perfect fit, the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket even features snap wrist cuffs and adjustable side tabs based on how much mobility your next winter adventure calls for. At a prime savings of 40 percent off (marked down to $178 from $298), this handsome waxed jacket is an effortless winter layer packed with performance — trust me on that, my friends.

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.
