Best men's boots from Huckberry.

Despite winter’s slow and steady retreat from the forecast, spring isn’t exactly the time to take it easy in terms of your rotation of the best men’s boots. In fact, it’s high time to make sure your boot rotation is up for anything — yet unlike heavier winter boots, the best men’s boots for spring should keep things lightweight and quick-moving, yet rugged all the same.

And if you can find those (fast-moving) boots at a fast-moving deal? That’s all the better, and that’s where the ever-trustworthy Huckberry Sale section enters the equation. And today’s deal is a standout one on a standout pair of rugged leather boots for men: The Rancourt & Co. Brunswick Boots are yours for the taking at 40 percent off, and they’re worth every penny.

Of course, that means that — like other fast-selling offerings within the Huckberry Boot Collection — that pairs are going mighty quickly. It’s not hard to see why: Your new favorite pair of leather boots retails now for under $300, a sizable markdown from the near-$700 full price tag.

But again, they’re worth every single penny, especially given that Rancourt & Co. makes its boots using intense, handcrafted attention to detail and throwback construction methods.

This particular pair is hand-built in Maine using textured bison leather, which is then crafted using Blake welt construction for a resoleable design. That design itself, with a six-eyelet, two speed-hook lacing system, rests atop Rancourt & Co.’s springy, hard-wearing gum rubber outsole for comfort and rebound.

And the great thing about these stylish leather boots is the fact that the profile is both rugged and yet dressy enough to wear with everything from dark blue denim to your favorite stretch chinos any day of the week. Once more, for that kind of versatility in design and durable construction to match, these boots are a steal of a deal at 40 percent off. Sizes are going fast, so act accordingly, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Huckberry Just Teamed Up with Aaron Levine on Some of the Best American-Made Menswear Around

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit.

When looking for the best menswear essentials to round out my style rotation on the daily, I tend to look for relatable, reliable pieces (yes, relatable and reliable!) from sources I can trust — this you know well if you’ve read the blog on the regular, and Huckberry certainly qualifies.

Shop Huckberry menswear ASAP

The rugged-meets-refined retailer has certainly set a high bar to clear, which is what makes the San Fran and Austin-based brand so impressive in its latest meeting of the minds. My friends, get ready to meet Trumbull Detroit, a new collaboration between Huckberry and lauded menswear designer and expert Aaron Levine.

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit

If that name sounds familiar, there’s plenty of good reason behind that: Levine was the menswear mind behind Club Monaco, masters of accessible tailoring and sportswear, as well as the resurgence of Abercrombie and Fitch across the past decade.

And now, he’s back at it again, teaming up with Huckberry on Trumbull Detroit, a line of stylish, vintage-inspired sportswear that arrives just in time for early spring. The line focuses on classic Americana styles, including one of the best hoodies for men, a classic crewneck sweatshirt in a vintage wash, a super-soft vintage wash T-shirt and even a casually cool quarter-zip sweater.

The Trumbull Detroit line might seem simple enough on the surface, but it’s packed with some of the best casual style picks for men this spring, particularly for weekend lounging, morning coffee runs, cozy weekends away and, well, the list goes on and on.

Garment-dyed 100 percent USA-grown cotton runs throughout the line, but what’s even more impressive is the fact that Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit is made the old-school way — in the U.S.A., and as the name would imply, in Detroit itself.

Best USA-made hooded sweatshirt for men.

They don’t quite make menswear like this anymore, with a pleasing range of casual, effortlessly cool silhouettes, high-quality fabrication and of course, USA-made construction. That naturally means these pieces are pricier than average ($148 for a Trumbull Detroit hoodie, for instance), but between the soft fleece, durable fabric and made-in-America construction, it’s an investment that should certainly pay off.

Shop Trumbull Detroit at Huckberry now

When you want the best of the best, with an eye for detail, classic design and that key mix of reliability and relatability, turn now towards Trumbull Detroit and your friends at Huckberry — they won’t let you down.

See Now, Buy Now: The Proof Rover Pants are As Versatile and Travel-Ready As It Gets

Best men's work pants from Huckberry

It can be tough to find a pair of the best men’s pants that really, truly suit all your style needs and daily pursuits. Is there a pair of pants that checks every box, from work to play, from the office to the farmer’s market to a park stroll… and back? That’s a high bar to clear, but the Proof Rover Pants from my friends at Huckberry just might fit the bill.

Shop the best gear for men at Huckberry

Now, it’s not the first time I’ve reviewed the Proof Rover Pants, but I think you’ll find the latest and greatest rugged yet stylish pair of pants are even more improved than ever.

They blend the durable appeal of a pair of stretch canvas work pants with the five-pocket cut of jeans, and while they’re a touch more rugged than, say, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, they’re no less versatile for the demands of your daily grind. A guy’s wardrobe demands options, after all, be it the reliability of dark blue jeans at the office or happy hour, or the crisp cut of stretch cotton chinos or, yes, the do-it-all nature of the Proof Rover Pants.

Best men's adventure pants.

The key with the latest iteration of the Proof Rover Pants? It starts with the use of a breathable, durable engineered cotton-blend fabric that moves with you and incorporates sustainable REPREVE TruTemp stretch polyester fabric. In my experience, that gives the Proof Rover Pants the right amount of stretch and breathability, which just might make them the best travel pants — as well as the best, polished and durable adventure pants.

If you’ve tried the Proof Rover Pants before, as I have, just know that they feel softer and more stretchy to the touch, and they’re lightweight without being flimsy, as well.

The Proof Rover Pants also have the right amount of stretch and style points to look ready and stylish enough for a more casual office, with three streamlined fit options (Slim, Straight and Athletic Tapered) adding to their versatile appeal. In my experience, the Athletic Tapered cut provides a nice amount of room to move for my frame.

And with the Proof Rover Pants — no matter if you’re scaling mountains or hopping on a flight — you’re getting versatile, rich color options (three, to be exact), which you can also pair seamlessly with other pieces of the best travel gear from Proof at Huckberry. Too good to be true? Certainly not, which is why a pair or two belong in your wardrobe ASAP.

When you’re welcoming guests over, when you’re lounging or when you’re stepping outside to refresh that winter fire, the Greys Slipper Boots are going to come in mighty handy. The wool blend fabric is exceedingly soft, comfortable and yet breathable, but it’s the added details — like a handsome leather pull heel tab and a soft but supple rubber sole — that make the difference.

And the great news is, your new favorite slippers (or are they boots?) are now on sale for 50 percent off at Huckberry. Plus, the silhouette is streamlined and modern, and the color options are versatile to pair up with just about any pair of your favorite tapered sweatpants.

Relwen men's jackets at Huckberry.

On the surface, this subtly stylish men’s jacket mimics a classic puffer jacket, but here’s where Relwen (a favorite brand from Huckberry) separates itself from the pack. The fit and design is less bulky than other puffer jackets, all without sacrificing any warmth, which is a major bonus in my book.

The Thursday Buy: This Wool Blazer From Wills & Huckberry Is a New Style Classic

Best blazers for men.

A new year is, of course, a stellar opportunity to re-evaluate your menswear wardrobe (among other aspects of your life!) and sometimes, that can mean turning towards stylish updates to classics, pieces that you’ll get a ton of wear out of in the new year.

Take one of the best blazers for men, for instance. The particular blazer in question hails from Huckberry, and from the retailer’s refined Wills clothing brand, known for making some of the best cashmere sweaters and much more.

Learn more now at Huckberry

It’s part of the Huckberry Smart Casual lineup, a rundown of tasteful, elegant clothing that’s dressy enough for the office but cool enough for date night — all without trying too hard. It’s the right kind of balance to strike heading into a new year, if you ask me — and the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer is endlessly versatile and a perfect example of a go-anywhere jacket.

Your new favorite wool blazer wears easily with dark blue jeans and your favorite Oxford shirt at the office, but it can also pair seamlessly with, say, some of the best corduroy pants for men and a chambray shirt during a dressy date night. Especially in Heather Black, it’s also got some interesting texture and depth to the fabric, making it more appealing than, say, a standard black sportcoat.

Best men's blazer for winter.

And the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer also has another critical component making it ideal for winter: That wool blend fabric for winter warmth, which also pairs nicely with matching suit pants for a casually cool seasonal suit. In terms of other details, it also boasts half-canvas construction, which means the jacket will form nicely to your chest and shoulders while holding its shape over time.

In my book, this stylish wool blazer is one of the best blazers for men, the sort of jacket you can mix and match for multiple outfits in the same week — that’s reliability in style you can depend on, and that’s just the Huckberry way. Here’s to a new year and an even more stylish wardrobe, my friends.
