The Friday Read: The Best American-Made Menswear From Devium, A New Huckberry Jacket & A Winter Weekend Getaway

Devium menswear review.

It can sometimes be tough to find a brand doing things the old way — the hard way, the difficult way, like making some of the best American-made menswear. It’s something I’ve had the time to think about this week as we come to another edition of the Friday Read here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog.

And as with past menswear reviews on this site — including last week’s introduction to Vero Watches — I’m all about brands that go the extra mile when it comes to quality and craftsmanship, like California-based Devium.

Shop Devium’s USA-made gear now

The decade-old brand puts its money where its mouth is, so to speak, in matters of rugged workwear, American-made production and a full array of timeless styles (think hard-working trucker jackets, flannel shirts, canvas workwear, durable chinos and much more).

The Devium story — which starts with the company’s founding on Flag Day, of all days, in 2015, is an impressive one, with plain old fashioned hard work and 100 percent American-made construction at its core.

I’m excited to learn more about the brand, and I’d wager you’ll feel the same way as you dive into its flagship lineup, which includes a range of sturdy flannels, tough-as-nails waxed jackets and more. How’s that for a new brand to jumpstart your weekend? T

he company makes the sort of dependable, good-looking, hard-wearing menswear that should prove useful in plentiful style situations, including my next jaunt — my first trip of 2025, in fact, and a suitably winter-focused one.

Find out more and shop now at Devium

I’m off with my love Mary to chilly Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, where a relaxing family weekend — think flannel shirts, whiskey, great food and even better times — awaits. To see how I’m outfitting myself and to find out what I’m sipping on, head over to my Instagram.

And before we head off into the weekend properly, let’s talk briefly about another must-buy style essential, the sort that should come in remarkably handy in terms of warmth, toughness, sturdy construction and long-lasting appeal.

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket.

What style selection could clear that very high bar and live up to the hype at the same time? The new Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Hooded Waxed Jacket, of course. Crafted from the same Martexin waxed sailcloth as the positively legendary, best-selling Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, the style adds a weather-ready waxed hood and keeps the same classic detailing, like durable hardware and a striped blanket lining.

Flint and Tinder Hooded Waxed Trucker Jacket review.

It’s a workwear jacket built to last in every sense of the word, and it comes in two must-have colors: Field Tan and a rich shade of Forest. Either is a fitting addition to a highly functional, carefully considered and casually rugged (and useful) winter weekend wardrobe.

Shop the best new men’s gear at Huckberry

Between Devium and Huckberry, if you ask me, I’d say you’ve got plenty of gear to consider in the days ahead — and plenty of gear to break in and make all your own. Happy shopping and cheers to American-made menswear, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Amp Up Your Casual Style Rotation with this Flint and Tinder Hat from Huckberry

Flint and Tinder ballcap.

Just as no man is an island, no one’s rotation of the best menswear essentials is ever quite fully complete, or fully finished…. right? At least, that’s the case if you believe in the small details making the difference, and in the need to complement a casually rugged #OOTD the right way.

In the case of today’s standout featured pick — a pick you should just buy if you’re search of an expert way to top off your outfit — the details certainly count. That’s because we’re talking about a Flint and Tinder ballcap, one made the right way, the proper way by the good folks at Huckberry — the sort of ballcap that might put other casual ballcaps in your rotation to shame.

Shop men’s hats at Huckberry

That’s lofty praise, to be sure, but for under $40 on sale at the moment, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat hits on all the marks you’d expect from an accessory bearing the praise-worthy F&T designation. For one, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat is truly a ballcap that can take a beating come fall and winter, and that’s not to be overlooked

Sure, it might not be the hat you’d reach for in the depths of a blizzard, of course (save a Huckberry beanie cap for that). And yet, its waxed canvas crown is nicely complemented by a seasonally friendly corduroy brim for texture, style and toughness.

In fact, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat might break in just as nicely as your favorite Flint and Tinder waxed trucker jacket — if you’ve had one of those covetable trucker jackets in your rotation for years, then you know that Huckberry means business.

Flint and Tinder ballcap review.

It’s as if this cap (assuredly one of the best ballcaps for men) was made to pair up with rugged picks like a denim sherpa jacket or a flannel overshirt and a sturdy pair of blue jeans. Beyond that, the right ballcap shields your face from sun, rain and wind, proving critical in times of work and times of leisure (another round of brewery beers, anyone?).

Details like the leather strapback and brass fastener further deepen the durability of the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat, at least in my experience. And while that might be lofty praise to call it one of the best men’s hats on the market, it’s certainly a fine deal at the moment for under $40.

The Thursday Buy: Start the New Year Off Right With the New Wellen WellKnit Sweats from Huckberry

Best sweatpants for men in 2025.

For as much fun as it can be to look back on a holiday season filled with joy — and Christmas cookies, and whiskey, and craft beer — at some point, a guy’s got to get back to work and the right daily style essentials can help. That process includes the real work of your daily grind, and ideally, even the real work of a wellness routine, however that shakes out for you.

And a must-have in any sort of wellness routine — or a travel wardrobe, or for a weekend coffee run? A pair of the best sweatpants for men, something that the good folks at Wellen and Huckberry seem to have excelled at crafting for the new year (and beyond).

In fact, the entire Wellen WellKnit line takes things to another level in terms of performance, sustainability and even a dash of minimal style. All are valuable to have close at hand as you plot your next road trip, your next morning yoga session, your next park stroll or your next weekend coffee outing (again, I’m something of a coffee fiend, and I trust the best loungewear to get me from point A to point B in style).

If any or all of the above pursuits sound like you, then you’d do well to scope out the entire Wellen WellKnit line, particularly the ultra-soft, ultra-stretchy and performance-minded Wellen WellKnit Joggers.

The use of four-way stretch, proprietary fabric — complete with a tapered fit for streamlined performance — makes these the ideal men’s jogger pants for weekend outings, morning training sessions and just about anything you can dream up (yes, lounging very much included). Plus, hidden features like side hip pockets — complete with inner stash pockets for 2-in-1 functionality — make the Wellen WellKnit Joggers a prime purchase in any one of four neutral, versatile colors.

To ramp up your storage to the next level, a back zip pocket provides even more space for daily carry essentials. From the ultra-soft fabric to the next-level tapered fit and a slew of performance features (including moisture-wicking, anti-odor fabrication), you could easily say the Wellen WellKnit Joggers are the best men’s sweatpants to buy in the new year.

The Tuesday Steal: This Wills Crewneck Sweater is a Subtly Stylish, On-Sale Layer from Huckberry

As we embark on a new year and this menswear journey together, it’s a safe bet to revisit some menswear favorites — the sort of pieces that act as building blocks of your wardrobe, regardless of what year pops up on the calendar. For my money’s worth, a durable, thickly knit, versatile crewneck sweater checks off plenty of boxes, and it only makes perfect sense that you can find such a sweater at Huckberry.

Shop men’s sweaters and more at Huckberry

Then and now, going forward and looking backward, a piece like the Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater will surely serve you well in all manner of style situations. And on that note, it’s clear that there’s no finer way to kick off 2025 in earnest than by scoring a discount on one of your new favorite sweaters, one you can wear reliably with versatile dark blue jeans, with stretch chinos or with corduroy pants — the list goes on, of course.

Best winter sweaters for men.

While it might look simple on the surface, there’s just enough going in with the design of the Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater to keep things interesting — particularly considering the fact that is nicely priced to sell for about 30 percent off right now.

The textured lambswool blend weave adds depth and visual appeal to the fabric, as do the ribbed collar and cuffs — wear Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater atop an Oxford shirt alongside dark blue jeans for some expertly minimal business casual style, my friends.

The Wills Textured Crewneck Sweater also, rather helpfully, comes in a series of neutral, minimal colors that you can pair up with practically any other shade of trouser, pant or shirt in your wardrobe — charcoal, light grey and navy will serve you well most anywhere, my friends.

And at a solid 30 percent discount, this handsome yet minimal crewneck sweater is a wear-with-anything investment you can feel quite good about making right this very instant, my friends.

The Friday Read: Starting 2025 The Right Way, In Style

Huckberry menswear reviews.

It seems it was mere days ago I sat down to pen the last blog post of 2024 here at The Style Guide, your favorite Brooklyn style blog. And yet, time marches ever onward, and the beat goes on: We’ve hit the first Friday of 2025, and with it comes an optimal time to reflect for one final weekend before the new year kicks off in earnest.

Of course, I’ve stayed just busy enough over the holiday season writing about top menswear and gear news and deals via my freelance writing for Maxim.com (and elsewhere!) but the pace has been considerably slower — all the better as we gear up for a new year, ehh? To that end, be sure to follow me on Instagram to take a look at what I’m wearing, listening to, sipping on and even reading as we roll through winter here in NYC.

Follow me on Instagram

I’m always curious about, let’s say, menswear resolutions for the new year: What did you enjoy wearing in 2024, what trends are you bringing with you — and leaving behind — and what do you want to wear more of? For more on this topic, I always appreciate what Style Girlfriend has to say — check out that link for more, or read my Style Girlfriend interview with Megan Collins from the earlier days of this blog.

Heck, what brands, styles, trends or silhouettes might you like to see on this menswear blog in the year ahead? I often think about these questions as I peruse my favorite retailers, companies like Huckberry — and plenty more that you tend to read about frequently within the pages of this blog.

Kick off the new year right with gear from Huckberry

I’m all for retailers, brands and designers that seem to be on the cutting edge of all things luxe-yet-rugged, classic yet modern and fresh all the way around (yes, like styling a crisp wool blazer with a timeless Western shirt, which I’ll certainly be trying out sooner rather than later).

There’s always a certain ebb and flow to the year, after all, and yet, I’ve got a feeling that if you ease into things the right way — abiding by menswear classics with your own personal twist, for instance — things will all fall into place.

You can certainly find plenty of men’s style essentials that meet that particular moment when you shop companies like Huckberry, be it for a rugged waxed jacket, a cozy beanie or the perfect pair of chinos for your return to the office. Godspeed in your search, my friends.

For now, I’ll be kicking back this weekend with a cold beer, catching up on a dash of NFL action, and reading a new book (lately, I’ve been diving into “The Tender Bar”) as we plot out a well-paced start to 2025. As ever, thank you for reading and stay stylish!

The Tuesday Steal: These Best-Selling Gloves from Huckberry Can Tackle Any Winter Work Right Now

The best outdoor gear for winter shouldn’t cut any corners, right? That’s an understatement, and that’s why I turn to retailers like Huckberry to outfit me from head to toe in impossibly rugged gear — kind of like a pair of the best gloves for men.

No matter your winter pursuit, from hauling brush to shoveling snow to chopping logs for the fire, a great pair of durable work gloves is a must — enter Huckberry, and enter a pair that’s on sale for a nice discount just ahead of the depths of winter. The Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves stand up to winter’s worst and get the job done — and then some. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

Shop cold-weather gear at Huckberry

Since the Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves are billed as, well, year-round work gloves, perhaps you’ve already got a pair in your rotation. But there’s no time quite like the present, with holiday sales aplenty on the horizon, to outfit yourself in proper, rugged fashion for brisk winter days.

The Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves just so happen to be marked down about 20 percent, and it doesn’t hurt that they come in a handsome, rich all-leather build in a particularly stylish shade of brown — not a bad thing to have if you fancy these more as everyday, casually rugged gloves, too. But let’s get down to business when it comes to the essential specs on the Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves.

Thinsulate insulation and a waterproof membrane deliver both warm and protection from the elements, while the all-natural wax coating on your new favorite pair of work gloves adds a further layer of durability on tough days outdoors. Ribbed cuffs provide a secure fit, and in my experience, these gloves are thick enough to offer protection in frigid conditions, yet not so thick that you lose range of movement.

Bundle up with the best outdoor winter gear at Huckberry

The Give’r 4-Season Wax Gloves are also built with a steel D-ring on each glove, the better to hang, store and attach them (not that you’ll find many reasons to take ’em off once you get into the heart of your next outdoor winter project).

Like all of the best winter outdoor gear picks at Huckberry, these gloves are hard-working and hard-wearing, reliable and built to last — and when you consider the fact that you get all of this at a discount, I’d say they’re a worthy holiday treat of sorts for you and yours. Time to get out there, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Best Winter Beers, Last-Minute Gifts from Huckberry & A Florida Holiday Getaway

I don’t know about you, but in my neck of the woods, it feels like a sprint to the finish as we roll through the holiday season and put a nice bow on the end of this year. I’ve certainly stayed busy covering all manner of freelance writing pursuits, as you well know if you read this blog — that includes everything from yesterday’s post on the best new sweatpants to my coverage at Maxim of holiday gifts galore.

Speaking of: If you still need to knock out a few more items on your holiday shopping list, I’ve got just the recommendation for you. In fact, if you read the blog regularly, you’ll be well aware of what I’m going to say when it comes to the best last-minute gifts for guys (and just about anyone else in your life).

Huckberry’s Holiday Gift Guide hits the mark in plenty of different ways, from gifts for the rugged outdoorsman to gifts for the guy who’s got everything (seriously). I’ve always found that the retailers comes through with some of the coolest gifts for guys (and gals, of course), and that’s about the best recommendation I can provide as we close out this week.

Shop last-minute gifts and gear at Huckberry

Some last-minute holiday touches will certainly be on my mind as I close up shop in Brooklyn and make my way down to Florida for a family Christmas in the sand and sun, accompanied by my lovely Mary.

Expect plenty of fun in the sun on my Instagram, and be sure to keep it locked here for additional posts this weekend (and next week!) for gear related to all the rest of your holiday shopping needs this season. But first, a few choice reading and shopping picks to make your Friday sail by, my friends.

  • Feeling thirsty on this pre-holiday weekend Friday? That makes two of us, and that’s why I wrote about a true passion of mine, the best winter craft beers, featuring the likes of Stone Brewing, Sierra Nevada and many more seasonal favorites. Head to Maxim.com to check out my full list delicious seasonal sippers.

  • Let’s keep it locked on another must-have for the holiday season: A stylish, investment-level watch. Again, I wear a lot of hats in this freelance life, and accordingly, I wrote for Maxim.com about the hottest Rolex watches of 2024. There are more than a few drool-worthy selections to add to your wish list — a guy can dream, right??
Best sweatpants for men.
  • I said it once before and I’ll say it again: The best sweatpants for men, especially with the cozy holiday season upon us, are a must-have, and that’s why I wrote about a classically cool new pair from Flint and Tinder and Huckberry. Head to yesterday’s post to read all about your new favorite sweatpants here on the blog, my friends.

That’s going to wrap up my trio of selections for the best holiday menswear to read about, shop and buy right now. There’s plenty more where that came from –in the form of two weekend posts, of course — so be sure to swing by your favorite Brooklyn style blog in the days ahead. Cheers to the season, and as always, thank you for reading and for supporting this blog!
