The Sunday Sale: Save 40 Percent On This Durable Huckberry Chore Coat for Spring

Best chore coat for men to buy now.

Any rotation of spring style essentials, at least according to this Brooklyn style writer, should feature pieces that occupy a versatile, dependable middle ground — pieces that can pull double or triple duty as needed, like one of the best chore coats for men. And that’s where we find ourselves this fine Sunday, diving into the Wellen Maker’s Chore Coat at Huckberry — that it just so happens to be 40 percent off right now (marked down to $118 from $198) is icing on the cake.

While the rugged chore coat has roots in real-life workwear (like jackets worn by French painters and field workers), today’s chore coats are a little cooler, more streamlined and as ready for weekend park strolls and brewery visits as they are for a laidback day at the office. The Wellen Maker’s Chore Coat lives up to that versatile billing quite handsomely, carrying on Wellen’s penchant for sustainable production along the way (it’s made from 98 percent organic cotton, with helpful 2 percent spandex for added stretch).

Crucially, the Wellen Maker’s Chore Coat boasts truly functional chore coat touches, like a button flap chest pocket for your everyday carry, plus large patch pockets at the waist — again, all the better to store your everyday carry essentials. There’s also a left chest patch pocket, and those pockets are adorned with Wellen’s distinctive wave stitching. Yes indeed, the Wellen Maker’s Chore Coat also delivers in matters of style, whether you pick up the dark olive Tobala Green color or the handsome Natural version.

As Huckberry shows, this durable chore coat can be worn in the shop or garage, or out on a coastal vacation with ease — that’s what the best chore coats should be able to do in this day and age, and the Wellen Maker’s Chore Coat checks off all the proper boxes — and then some — for a very agreeable 40 percent off. Get to it, my friends.

Best men's puffer jacket for spring

While spring is an ideal time to start your transition to lightweight, breezy spring style essentials — like the best men’s polo shirt or your new favorite T-shirt — there are still breezy days that require something with a bit more substance and functionality. When brisk mornings hit unexpectedly, or when you find yourself off the grid and in need of some added warmth around the bonfire, that’s when the sort of jacket you might wear through the fall and winter comes in especially handy.

And for cooler-than-normal spring weather, one of the best jackets for men is the way to go — make that the Proof Moonweight Hooded Puffer Jacket, as designed by the good folks at Huckberry.

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater – Spring’s Best Laidback Sweater

Best sweatshirt for men.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you enjoy swerving ever-so-slightly from the norm, even when it comes to normally more laidback style scenarios. After all, spring style essentials are always the right way to go, and it’s all the better if you switch things up a bit when you least expect. Take the lineup at Huckberry, for instance. It’s full of distinct changes of pace — for instance, when you might be tempted to reach for a more casual athletic logo sweatshirt, reach instead for the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater. The change is simple, really: Any time you might wear a crewneck sweatshirt, swap that out for one of the best men’s sweatshirts while retaining that air of casually rugged appeal.

Best casual sweatshirt for men.

The Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater is a Huckberry Bestseller for a reason, and part of an entire lineup of classically inspired yet modern gear from Ohio-based Relwen. The brand takes basics like the chino or the quarter-zip sweater, reinterprets them with modern fabric, then injects them with an air of cool, unique style.

Shop the rest of Huckberry’s Bestsellers now

Case in point, of course, is the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater. The French Terry fabric blend is soft and pliable, and plenty ready to layer over other spring style essentials, be it a rugged chambray shirt or your favorite henley. The shawl collar frames the face, while the unique button placket on the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater is a nice style swerve from, again, the more traditional crewneck sweatshirt.

Best of all, you can wear the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater in all the same ways as you’d wear that crewneck sweatshirt, and then some: Try it at the office with stretch chinos or on the weekends with tapered joggers. Just make sure you pick one up in good time for the rest of the spring season. Happy shopping, folks.

Best spring shirt jacket for men.

Maybe, like me, you can feel it in the air a bit: Spring is rolling into town slowly but surely, and in a way that’s much more welcome than bitterly cold winter weather. What’s a guy to do? That’s easy, my friends: Layer up with the best spring menswear, and if you can save a few bucks in the process, that’s all the better. And where should a guy go to get those new spring style essentials?

If you’ve been keeping up with the blog on the regular, you already know that answer: Head to Huckberry, and in the case of today’s Tuesday Steal, head to the Huckberry Sale section. You’ll find what you need, and you’ll also find one of the best vests for men to wear this spring. The vest in question is the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest, a more tech-savvy take on the vest than traditional fleece options, and the even better news? It’s 36 percent off right now, and available in cool colors like Carbon.

What’s the key with the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest? It’s made from nylon infused with graphene, which resists odor, provides insulation and temperature regulation, and generally helps this vest serve as a reliably rugged, useful top layer for guys on the go. Wear the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest in more casual ways (say, over a henley or a Huckberry flannel shirt), or style it with a dark grey Oxford and crisp blue jeans for a transit-friendly commute layer.

I’ll keep it brief today, since spring is on the way and a wardrobe refresh is the way to go. The key, though? Making sure you score a discount on the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest before a new season arrives in earnest.

Even as we roll through 2023 and move ever closer to March, it can still feel like a bit of an odd sensation to dress up in one of the best men’s blazers, right? Of course, you very well might have been back in the office a while ago, but dress codes are ever shifting, formal events seem somewhat less formal and yet, there’s still the need to put your best foot forward.

Yes, that’s right — Huckberry. The retailer seems to nail the perfect balance between rugged and refined gear: You can shop your favorite waxed trucker jacket one minute, then swap it out for stretch chinos and something as polished as the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer, and you can do so at a moment’s notice… without missing a beat. Made in part from a blend of wool and elastane, this stylish men’s blazer boasts comfortable stretch (as so many menswear essentials do these days), yet it’s backed by the experience of Huckberry’s Portuguese tailoring partners.

That means you can order the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer in your regular suiting chest size, and it arrives with hand-finished details like collar and front placket stitching, plus a half-canvas construction for improved drape, structure and durability. Buying a blazer online can be tricky, but if the reliability, service and performance of Huckberry gear is to be believed, then the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer — which also comes with matching trousers — should certainly hold true.

It features standard flap suit pockets and a medium-width lapel for a classic look and feel, while the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer boasts a single rear vent (like the suit coats most recently worn by James Bond), which is a bit more modern and sporty in terms of design. Crucially, you can pick up the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer in timeless colors like Grey and Heather Navy, but more distinctive colors like Heather Bourbon are a way to nod to current suiting trends without overdoing it.

And if you pair up the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer with its matching trousers (also available in an agreeable range of sizes), then you’re getting both a fairly classic suit and sportcoat for just over $500 for the two pieces.
