See Now, Buy Now: Dress for Cool Summer Nights with This Vintage Long-Sleeve Tee from Huckberry

Huckberry men's T-shirts.

In my experience, sometimes, you don’t know how valuable some casual men’s basics can be until you’ve gone without them. For instance: On a cool summer night around a bonfire or during a beach sunset stroll, ever been caught without an extra layer? I’m not talking about a heavyweight flannel shirt or a thick hoodie — I’m talking about something like one of the best long-sleeve tees to throw on atop your favorite pair of lounge shorts, especially one from our friends at Huckberry.

It’s an underrated style essential that’s served me well on many a summer beach vacation, especially as cooler weather beckons through the end of late summer. And today, well, you’re in good hands, since Huckberry’s new Trumbull line of American-made basics delivers one of the best long-sleeve tees for men.

It’s an indisputable workhorse, a well-made tee in its own right and a casually cool menswear move to end the season. Heavyweight cotton construction (garment-washed for softness) gives the Trumbull Vintage Wash Long-Sleeve Tee a lived-in feel, just like the kind of tee you’d unearth from a lakehouse closet on a crisp night.

And yet, this stylish men’s long-sleeve tee sits ready and waiting in your T-shirt drawer or your favorite weekender bag without missing a beat — since, well, you’ve hopefully already added it to your cart in a trio of stylish colors.

Best long-sleeve T-shirt for men.

With its durable made-in-Detroit construction, its relaxed fit (ideal for layering atop a short-sleeve tee with room to move), and its vintage-style look, it’s a perfectly neutral basic you can even layer beneath a trucker jacket alongside blue jeans.

But for transitional style — especially in coastal settings where you need a warmer layer alongside your go-to shorts — I’d say the Trumbull Vintage Wash Long-Sleeve Tee is a surefire bet as far as laidback summer style goes. Try this one on and report back in the comments if you’re a fan. Cheers and thanks for reading!

Best selvedge jeans for men.

There are plenty of men’s style essentials I simply can’t get enough of in my daily rotation, particularly from Flint and Tinder and the good folks at Huckberry. That list includes a pair of the best men’s jeans, which Huckberry just seems to keep getting better at crafting, and it doesn’t hurt that Flint and Tinder already has the chops as far as crafting rugged style staples is concerned (See: Your favorite waxed trucker jacket, for starters).

And the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvedge Jeans are yet another fitting entry into a well-curated lineup of daily style must-haves, with the specs to run with the best of ’em. Available in both Slim and Straight fits — either of which should prove flattering and versatile — your new favorite blue jeans come in a year-round selvedge denim weight that’s been amped up with a hint of stretch.

The Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvedge Jeans also boast classic selvedge detailing, in addition to a durable weave and design that, as Huckberry says, makes you realize that it’s “no wonder denim enthusiasts call it a favorite.” That goes for my personal experience with some of the best selvedge jeans for men, and I also can’t help but appreciate the vintage-inspired wash (among a trio of options in which you can find the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvedge Jeans).

Details like durable, tough hardware — a Flint and Tinder staple — and a custom suede Flint and Tinder back patch round out these stylish men’s jeans quite nicely, as well. And when paired with your favorite henley and a tough-as-nails waxed trucker jacket, the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvedge Jeans very nearly take the cake as some of the best jeans for men on the market. Try ’em on for size and see for yourself.

See Now, Buy Now: The Sperry Authentic Original Boat Shoes Are a Must-Have Summer Essential

There are some men’s style classics that are so prevalent, so widely seen, it can be tough to recognize them for what they are — a must-have for your own wardrobe, in addition to being a much-loved favorite, for instance.

In my experience, that’s what the Sperry Authentic Original Boat Shoes represent, especially in my own wardrobe: A tried-and-true summer essential that’s stood the test of time, one that’s as versatile as can be and as wearable now as it was decades ago. Add in the fact that your new favorite boat shoes are now sold by Huckberry, and you’ve got a certified style winner on your hands.

The Thursday Buy: This Relwen Polo is a Modern Summer Classic for Any Occasion

Best summer polo for men.

There are times, in my experience, when it’s ideal, and even preferred, to look for an updated take on a classic. For instance, a fresh take on one of the best men’s polo shirts, already a seasonal style essential.

And yet, how could the trusty, preppy, stylish polo get even better? The answer is an easy one: When it’s made by the good folks at Relwen, a personal favorite brand of mine and a tried-and-true retailer as sold by Huckberry.

The Ohio company has a healthy appreciation for menswear staples, be it some of the best chinos for men, a sturdy T-shirt or the fresh-as-can-be Relwen Jersey Stripe Polo. It’s a new take on the style you know and love, with a spin that only Huckberry and Relwen can put on it.

Cotton jersey fabric makes the difference, while the crisp, stylish striped design (one of three variations available) gives this handsome polo a dash of all-time good looks. Better still is the fact that the Relwen Jersey Stripe Polo, your new favorite polo, is inspired by heritage designs and boasts an extended, dressy-yet-versatile placket — think of it like an updated version of the classic golf polo worn by Arnold Palmer, for instance.

Helpfully, this refined-yet-ever-so-slightly-rugged polo features smart details like a chest patch pocket for your sunglasses, not to mention durable horizontal buttonholes for long-lasting quality. The Relwen Jersey Stripe Polo is also garment-washed for added softness, while the fit should prove tailored and yet flattering — at least, that’s the case in my personal experience with Relwen polos at Huckberry.

The Friday Read: A Summer Weekend in Scranton & the Best Summer Style Essentials

Relwen summer menswear 2024.

Summer is about as prime a time as any to flex one’s muscle in terms of sartorial sensibility — yes, that holds true even as the thermostat climbs. In fact, beating the heat in style, whether at the beach or a backyard BBQ, is easier to do than one might think, especially if you shop summer style essentials from, say, Relwen.

The Ohio-based brand has been a longtime favorite of mine, with an eye for taking classic menswear moves — like the Oxford shirt, the chino or the polo — then refreshing them with a touch of the modern.

The Huckberry-approved brand is on my mind this weekend, particularly its artful mix of breezy, stylish pieces fit for summer’s heat — in fact, there’s an entirely new set of Relwen menswear essentials online at the famed retailer, and not a moment too soon through another summer heat wave.

Staying cool in the heat is top of mind in my neck of the woods, which actually looks a little different these next couple days — I’ll be trekking down to Scranton, Pennsylvania (yes, the home of the acclaimed series “The Office”) with my blonde-haired sweetheart Mary for a family weekend of summer fun in the sun.

Of course, I’m bringing my Buck Mason swim trunks and some Huckberry swim shorts for the occasion, and plenty of cold beer and delights from the grill are on tap. What’s on tap for you this weekend? We’ll have a duo of posts covering summer style must-haves, of course, so be sure to swing on by accordingly. Cheers and here’s to the weekend, my friends!

The Tuesday Steal: This One-of-a-Kind Huckberry x Zodiac Watch Is Now 25 Percent Off

Huckberry x Zodiac watch review.

It’s often tough to find one of the best men’s watches on sale for a great deal — those sorts of deals tend to not come around all that often. But when they do, as I always say, the opportunity to strike while the iron is hot is too good to pass up, especially as far as Huckberry gear is concerned.

And it’s from the minds of Huckberry that we find our latest and greatest Tuesday Steal, the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver. It’s not the first time I’ve offered up a Huckberry review on one of the best watches for men (specifically this watch!), but it’s a rather timely one here.

Find out more at Huckberry

At the time of my first review, you see, this rugged watch was 15 percent off. And yet now, the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver is now 25 percent for a very, very limited time (stock is moving extremely quickly via everyone’s favorite gear and menswear retailer).

And as one might expect, the specs on the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver are everything one needs in a rugged, stylish summer dive watch (or a dive watch in any season, for that matter). It boasts an aerospace-grade titanium case, a 1970s-inspired design and 200 meters of water resistance.

The tough-as-nails Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Diver dive watch aesthetic also extends to its rotating titanium bezel for keeping an eye on dives and water-ready excursions (or going anywhere else, for that matter). Your new favorite dive watch also features a 44-hour power reserve. On the dial itself, you’ll also find easy visibility through C3 SuperLuminova luminous paint on hands and dial indices.

See Now, Buy Now: This Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt from Huckberry Is Made for Breezy Spring & Summer Days

Best linen shirt for men for spring and summer.

There are certain fabrics that make certain men’s style essentials indispensable as the thermostat climbs, like linen. Its breezy open weave keeps you cool from sunrise to sunset, whether in suiting, trousers or in the stylish linen shirt shown at the top of the page.

And yet, here’s the thing with linen, at least in my experience: The fabric wrinkles easily, which some might appreciate for its easygoing, devil-may-care sense of style. And yet, if you want one of the best linen shirts, but one with a true wrinkle-free approach, well, consider yourself in luck.

The good folks at Huckberry, and Huckberry in-house brand Wills, have come up with the perfect solution — a wrinkle-free linen shirt meant to upgrade all your spring and summer style pursuits, no extra ironing required.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt (available in both long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions) stands apart as one of the best shirts for men, and the difference is in the details. It’s made from a classic, breathable linen blend that looks great, retains its shape and again, resists wrinkles.

Along with that, it retains the timeless details of your favorite Oxford shirt, including a face-framing buttondown collar and a chest pocket — the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt is at once casual and yet polished, the sort of shirt you can wear with your favorite blazer and stretch chinos as readily as you can rock it untucked with expertly faded light wash jeans.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt — again, in either short-sleeve or long-sleeve designs — also keeps things simple and versatile in terms of style. Take your pick from options like Marled Blue or a Natural colorway, each of which should wear nicely with spring and summer style moves like olive or tan chinos, dark blue jeans, navy seersucker trousers or your go-to summer shorts.

Best of all? The fact that the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt should live up to its name, keeping things crisp, casually cool and effortlessly stylish. In my experience, that’s what your spring and summer style #OOTD needs.
