Style Pick of the Week: Rhodes Footwear Nash Chukka Boots -A Perfect Pair of Fall Boots

At certain times of year, there are utterly classic men’s style essentials that tend to fit the mold so well, it’s a wonder they’ve haven’t been part of your seasonal wardrobe all along. Take a pair of the best chukka boots for men, for instance, particularly a pair sold by Huckberry.

They just so happen to be an utterly exceptional addition to a fall menswear wardrobe, and your luck just got even better: The Rhodes Footwear Nash Chukka Boots have just hit Huckberry’s digital shelves, and they’re assuredly some of the best new men’s boots on the market.

Now, the chukka boot already has a long heritage of menswear excellence, from humble roots as a military and exploration boot to its standing as the boots of choice for style icons like Steve McQueen and Daniel Craig.

And while the Rhodes Footwear Nash Chukka Boots might not boast a 007-approved price tag, they’ve got all the rugged versatility and style points in spades that you can ask for this season.

If you keep up with the blog on the regular, you’ve very likely read Rhodes Footwear reviews, as the brand specializes in modern updates to the classics — from wedge-sole Chelsea boots to the highly versatile leather chukka boots for men you see here.

And the Rhodes Footwear Nash Chukka Boots carry on that same modern legacy of versatility and just enough variety, using supple leather and craftsmanship hailing from Leon, Mexico, birthplace of some of the finest boot brands in the world.

And unlike crepe rubber outsole chukka boots — which still remain a wise addition to your wardrobe — the Rhodes Footwear Nash Chukka Boots Vibram 1716 Oxford Gumlite sole for traction, durability and a lightweight feel.

Add in the fact that they come fresh out of the box with contrasting yellow soles, and you’ve got an eye-catching, dependable pair of chukka boots to rock day in and day out with expertly faded blue jeans or else seasonally colored stretch chinos from Huckberry.

The leather-lined insole will mold to your foot over time, while the three-eyelet design can be dressed up or dressed down — a very good thing indeed, as these handsome chukka boots will quickly become a new go-to. At least, that’s my experience with Rhodes Footwear — step into a pair starting this weekend and try ’em on for size.

The Tuesday Steal: Get Huckberry’s Latest Waxed Jacket for Under $200 Right Now

Rugged appeal and value are the name of the game this fall, at least as far as I’m concerned when it comes to the latest and greatest set of fall style essentials from my friends at Huckberry.

It’s a tricky combination to get precisely correct, but the long-running retailer — one of my favorite menswear companies — continues to knock it out of the ballpark (hey there, World Series), especially with its Flint and Tinder menswear lineup.

And that lineup just got a new member, one that’s fairly priced, built to last and crafted with expert care for rugged fall style. That’d be the Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket, yet another standout edition to your lineup of durable gear for the season at hand.

It’s billed as the younger brother of the iconic Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, another style worthy of consideration as you build out stellar, versatile and seasonally minded style selections.

With a lighter weight than its trucker jacket counterpart, plus metal snap buttons for a more sporty look, the Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket uses an 100% BCI Halley Stevensons Dry Finish Waxed Cotton Canvas that’s then lined with jaspe cotton. Of course, that material comes in classic F&T colors like Field Tan and Forest.

Those touches give the Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket a more pliable, year-round feel, one that still works wonders when layered up properly for fall. Waist welt pockets offer storage for your everyday carry essentials, and a chest pocket gives it a more crisp look and feel.

The Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket is the type of hard-wearing coat you can wear on the trail or out in the field, or else layered up handsomely with a thermal henley alongside expertly faded jeans — brewery beer in hand, of course. For unmatched versatility and standout style, turn to the latest from Flint and Tinder, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: These Flint and Tinder Work Pants are Up for Grabs at a Discount in Time For Fall

At times, you’ve got to keep your ear to the ground — or a weather eye on the horizon — to find a discount on the best men’s style essentials, the sort of pieces you can actually wear immediately in a given season.

That is to say, while some retailers shop past seasonal wares (say, selling spring gear in the fall), some retailers, like Huckberry, offer up discounts on goods that can be put to good use right away — like a pair of the best work pants for men, as shown above from Flint and Tinder.

Find out more now at Huckberry

We’re diving into the pair in question during today’s Sunday Sale with plenty of time to spare in terms of rugged fall style and wearability, and the fact that these durable men’s work pants are nearly 50 percent off is a nice added bonus indeed.

Look closely, and you’ll see that the Flint and Tinder Ripstop Mill Pants are based on an archival pair of U.S. Army pants, and outfitted with plenty of helpful bells and whistles.

Those include a cotton-linen ripstop blend for intense durability and yet a lightweight appeal — until temperatures drop drastically, these pants should prove an ample substitute at times for heavier canvas work pants.

Shop seasonal style essentials at Huckberry

They’re also double-lined in the knees, and Huckberry doubled down by reinforcing the pockets and key stress pants. The fit should provide ample room to move — no matter your fall pursuits — and the style points are there for rugged off-duty pursuits, like brewery beers or apple orchard strolls.

A pair of work pants in a rich earthen shade, the kind that are stylish enough to wear in your downtime and hard-wearing enough to pass muster for outdoor fall projects? Sign me up, and be sure to add this pair to your cart while they’re still up for grabs in the Huckberry Sale section, my friends.

The Friday Read: Breitling’s Newest Watches & New York Fashion Week 2024

My friends, welcome back to another edition of the week-closing, weekend-opening post we like to call the Friday Read around here. We tend to touch on a bit of everything in these posts, be it one of the best new bars in New York City, early fall menswear from Huckberry or both at the same time, and so it goes again today.

Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket review.

It’s an especially momentous day in particular here, as we look toward a lovely weekend in the Big Apple — one packed with menswear galore, naturally. New York Fashion Week has revved up to full speed these past few days, and as part of my many freelance writing pursuits, I get the chance to indulge in runway shows and events aplenty, as with the debut last night of new watches from famed Swiss watchmaker Breitling at an event in the Meatpacking District.

In addition to debuting a handsome trio of 140th anniversary edition watches late last week, the watchmaker also just launched a series of Breitling NFL timepieces, a perfectly luxurious and stylish way to support your favorite team.

And with accommodations provided by the Gansevoort Hotel, I found the evening to be the ideal blend of refinement, taste, style and of course, American football. Elsewhere, I’ve stayed plenty busy on the writing front, especially with my daily pursuits for Maxim.com, where I covered Breitling’s 140th anniversary edition watches.

Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots review.

If durability, classically cool style and rugged appeal are the name of the game — which they very much are — then it’s hard to pass up Red Wing Heritage and its selection of iconic, incredibly well-made leather boots and shoes. And that’s certainly true now as it was decades ago, which brings us to the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka, an utterly classic men’s boot style that’s stood the test of time.

Shop Red Wing men’s boots and more

When it comes to the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka, the specs are on point across the board, and quite literally from the ground up, in this case.

Certainly, this isn’t the first time you’ve read about some of the best boots for men, particularly from Red Wing Heritage on the blog, and it won’t be the last. Let’s carry on, shall we?

It starts with tough-as-nails S.B. Foot Tanning Company leather, which is then stitched down for a resoleable design, while a chunky Hill outsole adds toughness and traction.

The combination also includes a Texon® board insole that molds to your foot over time, while the ComfortForce footbed amps up the premium, comfortable nature of some of the best boots for men.

Add in the fact that the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka manage to repel water, stains and perspiration, and you’ve got a reliable pair of boots that perform just as great as they look. Of course, the silhouette of the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka is iconic and as wearable with rugged selvedge denim and a henley as it is with stretch five-pocket pants and a crisp Oxford shirt.

There are few men’s boot styles as beloved, long-lasting and well-made as the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka, which is why it’s certainly worth a reminder that they belong in your early fall wardrobe.

See Now, Buy Now: This Portuguese Flannel Chore Coat from Huckberry Is Perfect for Early Fall

If it feels somewhat strange to be talking about the best style essentials for early fall as of yet, well, check that calendar: It’s nearly here, and with Labor Day bearing down on us, it’s high time to start think about a few key fall style upgrades for men. Naturally, I’m recommending you head to Huckberry to start your search, which is where we’ll take a peek behind the curtain today at one of the best chore coats for men.

Shop style must-haves now at Huckberry

One of the best jackets for men is our focus today, and not just any old style, either. Huckberry, if you’ve dove into the Web site as of late, knows how to curate, sell and style a slew of classic pieces, including an iconic chore coat from Portuguese Flannel.

The Portuguese Flannel Labura Corduroy Chore Coat perfectly bridges the gap between rugged style and modern good looks, with real-world utility at its center (its core?).

The key with the Portuguese Flannel Labura Corduroy Chore Coat starts with its silhouette — it’s modeled after throwback chore coats featuring patch pockets and a useful stand-up collar. And another key when it comes to the handsome, versatile Portuguese Flannel Labura Corduroy Chore Coat?

Its use of soft cotton corduroy fabric, a helpful touch that makes it easier to move around in than a traditional canvas chore coat, for instance. Your new favorite chore coat also boasts a tailored fit that’s still easy to layer, be that over a classic chambray shirt, an easygoing T-shirt or a rugged henley.

The Portuguese Flannel Labura Corduroy Chore Coat also looks great with stretch chinos, with contrasting faded blue denim or even with olive canvas work pants for days at the shop (or a more blissful coffee shop outing, of course).

Particularly with its corozo button front, this stylish and classic chore coat even looks a touch more refined, especially as a suitable blazer replacement. For early fall layering and beyond, I think I’ve found my new go-to layer, and it’s the Portuguese Flannel Labura Corduroy Chore Coat
