The Friday Read: The Huckberry Holiday Gift Guide, The Maker’s Mark Winter Wheat Wonderland & The Best Sweater Polos

Huckberry Holiday Gift Guide 2024.

Welcome to another fine winter Friday here in Brooklyn (or wherever you might happen to be reading your favorite Brooklyn style blog). It’s a season of bounty, joyful thanks, delicious whiskey and even better menswear, at least in my neck of the woods — if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see that I’ve been busy wearing my many hats in my many varied freelance writing pursuits.

One day, I might find myself writing about a limited-edition luxury cognac, the next, I might be covering a new Huckberry x Timex watch. All in a day’s work!

And as of late, those varied pursuits included a preview of a special NYC Maker’s Mark Winter Wheat Wonderland (running now for the next 10 days!) — the space is an ode to Star Hill Farms in Kentucky, plus all things Maker’s Mark, with an outstanding limited-edition menu of cocktails crafted by cocktail expert and legend Colin Field.

Bhakta Spirits review.

This week also brought with it an excellent Upper East Side evening tasting some standout Bhakta Spirits (on the heels of my February 2024 trip to see the company in Vermont). Talk about a perfect balance between rare spirits and the joy of the holiday season, yes? It all requires fortitude, but it also requires the right menswear to meet varied situations in casually rugged-yet-refined style (the way I prefer to dress, and perhaps the way you do, as well!?).

And for those instances and plenty more — especially in the holiday season — I outfit myself with menswear favorites from Huckberry. It seems there’s never a bad time to shop the incredibly well-stocked retailer, which just happens to know what guys want — and the gals on your list, too (more on this in a moment). It certainly seems like everyone on your list is covered by the Huckberry Holiday Gift Guide, in my experience.

Shop the best holiday gifts at Huckberry

So, here’s your reminder to cross a few prime gifts off the “Nice” list by shopping Huckberry, as I’ve been this busy season. To send you on your way into the weekend, check out a few choice reading and shopping selections below — onward!

  • Speaking of taking care of your holiday shopping — especially for your better half — I’ve got just the ticket: Over at Maxim, I wrote about the best Huckberry gifts to buy for her, whoever that “her” in your life might be. From your mother to your sister to your sister-in-law and beyond, Huckberry’s expert insight made it a delight to write about a few choice selections over at Maxim.
Shop style favorites for everyone at Huckberry
  • Let’s talk holiday style for a minute: Nailing the right balance between comfort and fashion is critical, as is staying ever-so-slightly on-trend without overdoing it. That means finding a middle ground, like the retro-yet-fresh sweater polo. It harkens back to the 1950s and ’60s, but you’ll still find it on red carpets today — and you’ll find out more about the style in my guide to the best sweater polos over at AskMen. Happy shopping, folks.
  • Shopping for the watch enthusiast in your life? Have plenty of spare coin to throw around? You very well might want to dive into my piece at Maxim.com covering how Omega crafted a more affordable version of the iconic Seamaster worn by James Bond. Talk about a wrist game upgrade, my friends.

Now, who’s ready for a dram of whiskey and for the weekend to start in earnest? Before we can kick things off — beer, cozy evenings by the fire, a lovely candle burning — here’s the rugged, classic flannel shirt you should be wearing this season, all courtesy of yesterday’s post on Schott NYC‘s timeless take on the style. I hope it keeps you warm this weekend and beyond, and I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for our Style Pick of the Week. Cheers to the season, my friends!

The Tuesday Steal: These Rugged Huckberry x Danner Boots Are Still On Sale Right Now (After Cyber Monday)

Huckberry x Danner men's boots.

You might call it a match made in heaven, or merely another chance to get a fast-selling pair of the best men’s boots. But whatever phrase you happen to call it, a series of savings on a pair of the Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots aren’t to be missed.

Shop new boots and more at Huckberry

And the fact that you can snag your new favorite pair of boots at a discount even after Black Friday and Cyber Monday has passed is just icing on the cake, is it not? As of this writing, the stellar Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots are 25 percent off, with some pairs moving quite quickly — now’s your chance ahead of the best season for winter adventures.

In my experience with Huckberry and Danner boots, the performance, style and rugged utility are must-haves for your winter footwear rotation. Here, it’s the best of both worlds (or the best of every world as you scour the market for premium footwear).

This ultra-special, eye-catching collaboration — with a color inspired by the western Gold Rush — takes shape via the Danner Mountain GTX, a durable, super-comfortable set of hiking boots in their own right. They’re waterproof and lined in Gore-Tex for performance on and off the trail, while a springy, rebound-focused Vibram® Kletterlift Thin outsole delivers traction and all-day comfort.

Huckberry x Danner men's boots review.

That’s far from the only special features these boots are built with, my friends. The Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots boast waterproof suede across the upper, with hits of contrasting brown rubber (including a mud guard). Classic speed hook lacing keeps with Danner’s tradition of crafting some of the best hiking boots on the market, yet these get a sneaker boot-esque lift from that Vibram outsole.

Shop menswear, gear and more at Huckberry

The Huckberry x Danner Mountain 600 GTX Boots are the total package, if you ask me — rugged, comfortable, durable and made for both the town and the trail. And oh, yes, they’re on sale at the moment via one of the very best online menswear shops around. Get to it, my friends.

Fllint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket review.

It’s already been a momentous holiday weekend for the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on your favorite gear and menswear, and rest assured that we’re not done yet. If you haven’t yet gotten all your holiday shopping done, and if you haven’t yet scoured the exceptional menswear on offer from Huckberry as part of the Huckberry Cyber Week Sale, it’s about high time you locked in and logged on.

Shop and save now at Huckberry

There are plenty of rare discounts up for grabs from the retailer as far as the best winter menswear and gear is concerned, and that also includes a full rotation of Flint and Tinder waxed jackets, like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket as shown above. It’s an utter classic in every regard, with rugged style and winter-ready functionality in spades, starting with its tough waxed cotton exterior for performance in the wind, rain and snow.

Best waxed jackets for men.

It gets even better, because right now, the burly Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket is 25 percent off (as of the time of this writing), dropping the sale price down to well below $300. That means you’re getting a heck of a lot of jacket for an agreeable price, seeing as the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket comes complete with added features like a detachable hood, a fully lined body finished with cotton flannel, and a plethora of pockets for your everyday carry essentials.

The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket also boasts a longer cut than the classic Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker (which you should also consider scoring this weekend), so it’s useful as a field coat as well as a chore coat option.

Front snap pockets provide critical storage space, while a series of rich, dark and earthy color options should pair with everything from inky blue selvedge to tobacco chinos and grey work pants.

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket review.

No doubt about it, the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket is a beast of a jacket, one with utility and rugged style points in spades. And considering it’s one of the best men’s jackets to buy on sale for Cyber Monday, the newly iconic Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket deserves its own place in your wardrobe. Happy shopping, my friends.

And although I wear a great deal many hats when it comes to freelance writing, today, we’re all in on the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals (you can read my writing about the best spirits to drink now over at Maxim, among others — perhaps for something to sip while you shop?). Those deals, naturally, include retailers like Huckberry as seen at the top of the page — read on for more insight there, my friends.

Shop Huckberry for Black Friday now

For now, let’s dive in with a very brief overview of these hand-selected Cyber Week menswear deals — while other publications (including my own byline at Maxim.com!) cover sales by the dozen, we’re streamlining things a bit here today and talking about the five best Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales to shop now.

Filson: Save As Much as 60 Percent

Once upon a time, the good folks at Filson rarely offered discounts on the best outdoor menswear, much less putting together an entire Filson Black Friday Sale. That’s not the case anymore, as flannel shirts, durable waxed jackets, tough weekender bags, hard-wearing work pants and accessories are all up for grabs at a discount. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post on one of the best flannel shirts from Filson, too. Shop here.

It can be hard to find high-quality, investment-level menswear — from shirting to suiting — on sale, yet that’s not the case with the refined wares on offer from legendary American designer Todd Snyder. In need of a new sportcoat or a sharp new flannel shirt? Perhaps a stylish pair of jeans or a rugged henley? Shop the Todd Snyder Black Friday Sale for 30 percent off with the code BLACKFRIDAY30. ‘Tis the season. my friends.

Taylor Stitch: Take 20% Off Select Styles Sitewide

The good folks at Taylor Stitch are opening up the warehouse, so to speak, with standout savings on knitwear, sweaters, A-plus shirting, rugged work pants, cozy loungewear and much more — I’d recommend checking out a range of pieces, including the modern classic Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt. 20 percent off won’t stick around forever, so hop to it, my friends. Shop here.

Billy Reid: Save At Least 20 Percent On Refined Menswear

With Billy Reid — makers of the peacoat worn by James Bond, among other staples — the difference truly is in the details, like the designer’s signature ribbon trim finish and richly crafted fabrics. You’ve got your best chance of the year to save on refined, utterly classic menswear with a dash of Americana, but here’s the catch.

You’ll get savings of 20% on orders of more than $400, 30% on orders of $800-plus, and then 40% on orders of more than $1,200. Get that credit card at the ready and stock up on style staples that shouldn’t be missed. Shop here.

The Tuesday Steal: Shop The First of Huckberry Black Friday Deals Right Now

Huckberry Black Friday Sales 2024

If there’s one retailer I’d recommend shopping early and often when it comes to the best Black Friday deals, it’s got to be Huckberry. It seems Black Friday menswear sales start earlier and earlier every year, don’t they? Suffice to say, I’m here to help.

And for a company like Huckberry — the Austin-based retailer of rugged menswear classics that make every guy look great — it’s a big deal when some of the very best men’s gear and men’s clothing goes on sale, because it just doesn’t happen every day.

Head over to Huckberry now

So, we find ourselves here, on this fine Tuesday before Thanksgiving, talking about the first Huckberry sale for Black Friday (and Cyber Monday).

That’s right: There are a series of deals and discounts being offered throughout the week on different waves of gear, whether it’s a cozy Relwen sweater, some stylish Flint and Tinder 365 Pants or absurdly comfortable slippers for laidback holiday lounging. Those discounts right now climb up to 40 percent off, and it should only get better throughout the week.

Everything from outdoor gear — like camping accessories and pocket knives — is also up for grabs, along with a healthy assortment of knitwear, casually cool blazer and even a covetable set of Whiskey Peaks rocks glasses. And the fun is just getting started when it comes to Huckberry Black Friday sales aplenty.

It won’t be the last time you hear from me on the subject, but just know that you can score deals of up to 40% off at Huckberry, with some likely surprises thrown in the mix. Shop to your heart’s content, but leave some energy for the rest of the week: The best menswear deals from your favorite brands are set to keep rolling, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Trap Corduroy Blazer – As Versatile a Jacket As It Gets

Best blazer for men.

I’ve said it before on the blog here and I’ll say it again, but it truly is the most wonderful time of the year when it comes to layering up in some of the very best men’s style essentials on the market.

The holidays bring with them a host of chances to put your best foot forward, to try out something a bit festive (but refined and subtly stylish — no ugly Christmas sweaters, please). And when those instances pop up on my social calendar, I tend to reach for gear from Relwen, the Ohio-based, heritage-inspired brand stocked and sold by Huckberry.

Shop Huckberry style essentials ASAP

They just so happen to be a favorite of mine — and part of the Huckberry Bestsellers rotation — for doing things just a little differently than the norm. That might be the brand’s military-inspired tanker jackets and one of the best shirt jackets out there, or it very well could be the Relwen Corduroy Trap Blazer, a twist on the classic corduroy blazer that stands out handsomely for many a tailored holiday occasion.

Sportcoats were, of course, first worn out in the field — think hunting jackets — using rougher, textured fabrics and designs that made them easy to wear away from a country house. The Relwen Corduroy Trap Blazer takes its cues from these classic styles, with a four-button front design that also features a throat latch.

The corduroy fabric also gets an upgrade via a hint of stretch for added comfort — the Relwen Corduroy Trap Blazer is a casually rugged blazer able to be paired seamlessly with dark jeans and a chambray shirt for a dash of high-low style.

Richly crafted color options like deep brown and a “Bottle Green” give you variety for pairing with everything from white Oxford shirting to a thermal henley (buttoned up all the way, naturally).

The Relwen Corduroy Trap Blazer hits the right mark between overly formal — like a velvet tuxedo jacket — or more standard, everyday dressing (it’s more visually appealing than a navy blazer, if your wardrobe could use a change of pace).

Learn more now at Huckberry

Yes indeed my friends, with a dash of heritage style and outdoor appeal, the Relwen Corduroy Trap Blazer could just be your secret weapon when it comes to holiday dressing this season.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 25 Percent On This Essential Stretch Wool Blazer from Huckberry

Best blazers for men from Huckberry.

Out of all the men’s style essentials you can find on sale quite reliably — from a classic T-shirt to a rugged henley to a pair of stretch blue jeans — it’s sometimes a tricky endeavor to get solid savings on a reliable blazer for men, much less one of the best blazers for men. That all ends today though, my friends, and that’s all thanks to the fine folks at Huckberry and the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section.

Save on men’s jackets and more at Huckberry

In short: If you’ve been searching for a men’s blazer to wear to a holiday party, to the office or to a winter wedding — or all three — then you very well might be in the market for some prime savings on the Huckberry-approved Wills Stretch Wool Blazer.

Best men's blazers from Huckberry.

Right now, you can scoop up this expertly executed sportcoat for 25 percent off at Huckberry, a deal I’d recommend you move on as quickly as possible (make haste, my friends!). It’s not just merely a great deal — it’s a stylish men’s blazer that checks all the right boxes in matters of style, and you should expect nothing less than that from an in-house brand approved by Huckberry.

The Wills Stretch Wool Blazer boasts a comfortable stretch wool-poly blend that moves with you and regulates your temperature comfortably — feel free to pair it with everything from a crisp white dress shirt to a more casual Oxford shirt. The single-rear vent is more casual than a double-vented jacket, giving this the wearability of a blazer as opposed to a traditional suit jacket.

Learn more now at Huckberry

And the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer comes with other traditional touches, like an angled chest pocket and two flap hip pockets. In my experience, the Wills Stretch Wool Blazer — which, again, retails for 25 percent off right now in classic colors like Heather Grey — is the sort of men’s blazer you can wear with jeans as easily as with stretch chinos or even its matching tailored trousers (also available via Huckberry).

With chest sizing available up to 46 and style points in spades, it’s an unmatched deal on a jacket that’s hard to beat — all from a favorite, tried-and-true retailer.

The Sunday Sale: These Stylish Sanders Boots are Up for Grabs at a Steal from Huckberry

I often turn to reliable classics in my style wardrobe as the temperature plummets, and that’s perhaps on display more than ever as I consider a selection of the best men’s boots for rugged refinement, versatility, comfort and a bit of work (and yes, play as well).

I’ve often found that the good folks at Huckberry have a knack for stocking and selling some of the best boots for men, including the Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots as seen above. These apron derby boots, so name for their open lacing system and moc toe construction, hit the right notes between rugged and refined in pleasing fashion, with a profile that can be dressed up or dressed down with ease.

Sanders men's boots review.

Better still when it comes to the easily wearable Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots is their durability — an unlined leather upper should break in wonderfully as the insole molds to your foot over time, with a design that’s neither too streamlined nor too rugged.

Note the studded rubber outsole for added traction, plus other carefully handcrafted touches that could only come from a family-owned British shoemaker with generations of experience in the category.

Learn more now at Huckberry

That means that, at least in my experience, you can style the Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots with everything from wool trousers and a herringbone blazer to cuffed selvedge jeans, a thermal henley and the famed Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket for expert seasonal style.

We haven’t even covered off on the best part — the Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots are on sale right now via Huckberry in a rich shade of brown leather for the ultimate in seasonal style, particularly as you look for tips on how to dress for Thanksgiving (for instance).

The Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots happen to be about 25 percent off as we speak, so it’s no wonder they’re selling quickly at the moment to guys who want versatility and dependability in boots, in spades. Lace ’em up and see what wonders they can work in your winter wardrobe.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket – An On-Sale Steal at Huckberry

Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket review.

If you’ve read this Brooklyn style blog over the years, you’ll know that sometimes, the best menswear essentials are the tried-and-true, reliable, standby favorites you can trust time and time again. Take the Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket.

It’s a certified modern classic with loads of rugged appeal from Huckberry, one of my own personal favorite retailers year after year, and it tends to sell quickly and sell out season after season. If you’ve seen a stylish guy around the coolest neighborhood in your town, there’s a very good chance he’s wearing this iconic jacket from the Flint and Tinder line at Huckberry.

Learn more now at Huckberry

It’s almost enough to make you want to pick one up for yourself, what with its tough Martexin waxed sailcloth fabrication and soft, supple lining.

Add in the fact that the now-legendary Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket boasts a soft polyester blanket-striped lining — plus a fit and fabrication that only gets better with age — and it makes perfect sense why it’s Pedro Pascal’s jacket in “The Last of Us.”

Yes indeed, the hard-working Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket is a certified winner in every regard, including this one: Right now via the limited-time-only Huckberry Sitewide Sale, it’s now 15 percent off. That goes for multiple colors and fits of the iconic Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket, which also comes in colors like Coal and Field Tan.

It’s certainly one of the best trucker jackets for men out there, with the pedigree and thousands of adoring reviews to prove it.

The Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket is a surefire staple in my own wardrobe, and I plan to wear mine tonight in Brooklyn alongside my favorite blue jeans and a rugged henley — a classic and a tale as old as time, one that’s now 15 percent off at the Huckberry Sitewide Sale (more on that tomorrow). Act swiftly and stylishly, my friends.
