The Sunday Sale: Save More Than 50 Percent On these Stylish Huckberry Sunglasses for Labor Day Weekend

Best sunglasses for men.

It’s one thing to find some stylish men’s accessories you can wear on the daily, like the right pair of sunglasses or a new addition to your everyday carry. It’s another thing entirely to be able to score one of the best menswear deals in the process of ramping up your EDC, and that’s where the Huckberry Sale section is going to be your new best friend (in matters of style and gear) this Labor Day weekend.

We’ve talked plenty on this blog (including in my Friday post!) about using the opportunities presented to you in a timely fashion when it comes down to saving on menswear essentials — and again, the Huckberry Sale is a prime example of striking while the iron is hot. There are usually deals aplenty to be had at any time of the year, but this Labor Day weekend deal from Huckberry is particularly special.

You’re now getting an additional 15 percent off sale items, which brings a pair of stylish men’s sunglasses like the Walden Eyewear Pinion Sunglasses down below $60.

For those keeping score at home, that means you’re saving more than 50 percent on your new favorite sunglasses. The Walden Eyewear line was introduced last fall at Huckberry, with styles modeled after classic frames (this pair pays homage to military pilot sunglasses).

Details like a vintage nose bridge, premium mineral glass lenses and a three-barrel hinge set-up on the frame drive home the point that the Walden Eyewear Pinion Sunglasses are a certified style winner — and at one heck of a discount for Labor Day weekend.

Plus, these are the kind of sunglasses you can wear into fall, and even through winter. It doesn’t get any better than that, and we’ve got the Huckberry Sale section to thank for that. Now, stock up and get out there, my friends.

The Friday Read: A Pure Michigan Weekend & The Best Labor Day Sales from Huckberry and Taylor Stitch

Best Huckberry menswear for 2023.

It’s hard to believe I’m typing this, but welcome to the last Friday Read of summer — or at least, the last “unofficial” weekly roundup of summer. There’s good news on the horizon, as early fall is one of my favorite seasons for menswear, and perhaps you feel the same way.

It’s really the undisputed champion among the seasons, and as prime a time as any for lacing up your new favorite chukka boots, layering up one of the best shirt jackets and enjoying a nip or two of whiskey (to name but two of my favorite pursuits).

Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket.

Before we can embrace a brisk breeze, crisp leaves underfoot and the warmth of the Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket from Huckberry, I’m taking a moment to reflect on a momentous summer — including two trips back to my lovely home state of Pure Michigan.

I’ve spent the past week with family on iconic Mackinac Island, a longtime resort destination set across a small 8.2-mile island that outlaws transport by anything but bike or horse-drawn carriage. It’s a wrinkle in time with plenty of charm. Fascinating, right? I found it an ideal time to test out some early fall menswear from the likes of Billy Reid, Sea Culture and more, as you might have seen on my Instagram.

Taylor Stitch menswear 2023.

And of course, we took our time enjoying bright, blazing sunsets, cold local beer (and wine!) and panoramic views of the Great Lakes. What a way to close out summer among family, yes? I also took advantage of the chance to wear gear from Taylor Stitch (although the above jacket remains on my wish list!).

Elsewhere, I’ve got #NYFW events in my sights next week back East, but for now, I plan to enjoy a spirited Labor Day back in the Lower Peninsula watching Michigan State football and sipping on my favorite Michigan beer from the likes of Bell’s Brewery (Oberon is still going strong, in my book at least!).

I’ll leave you with two last Labor Day weekend recommendations: You can get 15 percent off the Huckberry Sale section for Labor Day, and you can enjoy 20 percent off the Taylor Stitch Last Call section, too. How’s that for a proper end to summer? If you score any stellar deals this weekend, let me know in the comments below. Cheers to a long weekend, folks!

See Now, Buy Now: These Rugged Relwen Chinos from Huckberry are An All-Season Style Move

Best men's chinos to buy now.

If durability and versatility is the name of the game when it comes to your wardrobe rotation of the best menswear essentials, then a pair of the best men’s chinos is the way to go. Well, one of the ways to go, at least, as you shop a fan-favorite menswear retailer like Huckberry.

More polished than jeans, more comfortable than dress trousers and able to be dressed up or dressed down with ease, the right pair of stylish men’s chinos can go a long, long way. Of course, that’s where the new Relwen Dura-Flex Chinos are going to prove that thesis correct in fine fashion.

Huckberry calls them a “vital addition to your closet,” and this Brooklyn menswear writer certainly agrees. The Relwen Dura-Flex Chinos are a revamped take on the chino from the Ohio menswear brand, which focuses on rugged men’s style essentials often inspired by old-school classics, and this pair of pants is no different.

Best chinos for men to buy now.

With the Relwen Dura-Flex Chinos, it all starts with the fabric, of course. That fabric is a blend of cotton, spandex and twill for comfort, stretch and dependability. In my personal experience with Relwen chinos, the Huckberry-approved company makes pants that move well with you, feel super-soft to the touch and have a nice amount of stretch. Naturally, I’m willing to bet that the Relwen Dura-Flex Chinos have those same characteristics.

And in terms of style points, the Relwen Dura-Flex Chinos also get the job done: Whether you pick them up in classic Drill Khaki or Dark Navy, they can be worn easily with everything from a Relwen pocket tee to your favorite chambray shirt.

Add a rugged Huckberry dive watch, and you’re all set for versatile day-to-night style. See what the right pair of chinos can do for you, and make use of them as often as you can when it comes to your daily menswear favorites.

The Friday Read: A Nashville Trip & Monterey Car Week with The Macallan

My friends, thanks as ever for joining me as we close out another week here at The Style Guide and look ahead to the weekend, to another Style Pick of the Week and to choice menswear purchases from some of the best online menswear shops, like Huckberry (of course).

But first, let’s start with a quick departure from the usual. Now, if you follow me on Instagram, you’re well aware I’ve been jetting across the country once more as part of my many freelance writing pursuits — that includes writing about spirits for Maxim, naturally, among many other topics.

And this week in particular, it included a little bit of everything, in very memorable fashion. First, I took a pre-planned jaunt down to Nashville to A) Stay at the excellent Hutton Hotel and B) See my very favorite band, The National (a rather frequent occurrence this summer!). I’ve become an even bigger fan of the Music City in recent years, with so much more to see and do beyond just Broadway (although that’s a trip in and of itself!).

When opportunities such as these present themselves, I’m of the mind that it’s a wise bet to buy the ticket, take the ride: Roll with the punches, make it happen, get to the show and get on the road! And I certainly did that this week (all the while staying busy with this blog!).

My quick Nashville picks: Get the incredible focaccia pizza at the newly opened St. Vito Foccaceria (they live up to their name!),and be sure to grab a cold pint afterwards at Marble Fox Brewery nearby. And beyond that? Well, I had the exceptional privilege and good fortune to hop a surprisingly smooth flight out to San Francisco, followed by a ride through rolling hills and rugged dunes to Monterey Car Week.

It’s there that perhaps my favorite Scotch distillery on the planet, The Macallan, launched an epic Monterey Car Week activation (the stunning House of Macallan, among other highlights)). Now, I can’t share any details about what I tasted as of yet, but if you watch my work for Maxim.com (and follow me on Instagram!) in the months ahead, you’ll get a better idea. In the meantime, you can certainly add The Macallan to your collection from the comfort of your home.

As to menswear and other pursuits: Be sure to watch this space (as they say), check out yesterday’s guide to the best men’s jeans from Todd Snyder, and then stick around for tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week. Slàinte Mhath, as The Macallan says!

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Shirt – The Perfect Shirt for The Rest of Summer

Best lightweight buttondown for men.

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed as of late (and I’m sure I’m not alone in this!), it’s that, well, it’s hot out. Mighty hot. Oppressively sweltering at times, and yet, you’ve certainly still got to put your best foot forward with some of the best men’s style essentials on the market.

Of course, you know that my good friends at Huckberry can help you do that — and while I might have taken yesterday off from today’s regularly scheduled Friday Read, we’re back in the swing of things today as I recommend one of the best buttondown shirts for men.

Now, how exactly can a stylish buttondown shirt actually help you stay cool? Well, my friends, it’s simpler than you might think. You see, the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown has plenty of style points going for it, but here’s where it swerves from the traditional, heavier fabric of the Oxford cloth shirt, for instance.

The Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown is all about the fabrication, of course, and the key here is the use of a lightweight cotton twill fabric.

Flint and Tinder men's shirt.

It’s the right way to stay polished even in the heat, as you can rock the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown with everything from stretch chino shorts to a pair of Flint and Tinder 365 Pants for polished yet comfortable days at the office and on the road.

Best buttondown shirt for men.

It boasts a classic buttondown collar construction for a dash of casual style, along with a single chest pocket for another laidback yet traditional touch. Beyond that, your new favorite buttondown shirt comes in a slim fit and three timeless color combinations (the blue-and-white combo is my personal favorite, though).

And crucially, the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown comes with that Huckberry seal of approval: In my experience, Flint and Tinder shirts and menswear are high-quality, durable and timelessly designed. If that sounds like something your wardrobe could use to end summer, act accordingly and pick up the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown. Cheers, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Huckberry & Zodiac Just Launched a New Super Sea Wolf Diver

Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 2023

There are few things I love more in the world of menswear essentials than keeping tabs on what the good folks at Huckberry are up to at any given moment. The famed retailer specializes in rugged gear made for a life of adventure (or simply, gear made for a camping trip or a brewery visit).

They make their own standout waxed trucker jackets and durable dress boots, and the list goes on. So when the San Fran and Austin-based retailer deems a company worthy of a partnership, the results are certainly worth paying attention to — and shopping, of course.

And the latest and greatest Huckberry partnership to hit digital shelves is quite the looker: That’d be the new Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Bronze, an updated take on the classic Zodiac Super Sea Wolf, with a revamped design as only Huckberry can dream up.

Best new dive watch for men.

And that’s quite the lofty bar to clear, seeing as Huckberry holds its gear to rigorous standards — and seeing as how the Zodiac Super Sea Wolf is already impossibly hard-wearing and dive-ready. The Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Bronze updates a classic, as the original Super Sea Wolf was introduced in the 1970s for U.S. Navy Seals.

Men's watches at Huckberry.

Huckberry looked to iconic, old-school brass diving helmets as inspiration for the handsome 44mm stainless steel case, and the movement inside is also up to par for adventures aplenty. Crucially, the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Bronze features SuperLuminova-marked indices and hands for maximum visibility, while Zodiac’s Swiss-made STP 1-11 automatic mechanical movement powers the watch from within.

The Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Bronze is also dive-ready, with 200 meters of water resistance, an impressive 44-hour power reserve and a unidirectional rotating bezel that should come in handy for waterlogged excursions. Of course, this watch is simply plain cool on or off dry land, and it comes outfitted with a brown suede strap (for casual wear) and a black rubber strap (for pursuits in the water).

Bear in mind that only 182 units of the Huckberry x Zodiac Super Sea Wolf Bronze were made, so it’s worth acting now if you want to amp up your watch rotation in highly functional, stylish, hard-wearing fashion.

The perfect pairing might be a Huckberry waxed trucker jacket (or swim trunks and a breezy pocket tee near the water), so snap one up and head on out. And if you just want to wear this watch to grab a cold beer on dry land, I’d support that. Cheers to another standout Huckberry collaboration, my friends!

The Sunday Sale: Shop the Final Days of the Huckberry Summer Sale ASAP

Huckberry Summer Sale 2023

Folks, thanks for joining me as we close out another fine (sweltering) summer weekend. Although I spent part of my weekend traveling back from Portland after trekking West with Gerber Gear, I’m excited to be back in the swing of things in New York City — and I’m excited to give you one final reminder about the standout Huckberry Summer Sale, of course.

Perhaps you’ve spent the weekend perusing the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section or shopping around for one of the best short-sleeve shirts (as I recommended yesterday) but this one is just a bit different. Let’s take a quick closer look at a few discounts you can snap up before the sale ends tomorrow, shall we?

Best suede slip-on sneakers for men.

For starters, check out the ever-versatile LUCA Terra Slip-On Suede Sneakers, which are a whopping 56 percent off at just $74. They’re low-profile, versatile enough for a weekend coffee run or a lazy day at home, and made by the Huckberry team.

Best lightweight jeans for men this summer.

I’m also digging the look of the Flint and Tinder Summer Stretch Denim, a super-lightweight pair of jeans for those among us who just don’t want to give up the good stuff in the heat. There’s also the Relwen Seersucker Short-Sleeve Shirt, a modern update of a classic that retails for more than 40 percent off at the moment.

And if you want to put together a full #OOTD from the famed Huckberry Summer Sale, the right accessories make all the difference: Consider shopping Huckberry’s own in-house line, Walden Eyewear, to get some of your new favorite sunglasses.

Out of the many sales I cover here on the blog, it’s always tough to pass up some standout Huckberry gear, whether it’s from a retailer you know and love (like Faherty, for instance) or from the design minds of the Huckberry crew themselves.

In all, there are more than 700 items to sort through, so hopefully, a few of my picks are enough to get you started during the last couple days of the Huckberry Summer Sale. Happy shopping and of course, we’ll See You Out There, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt

Every so often, you tend to strike it rich in the menswear world. Take this weekend’s Huckberry Summer Sale, of course. The best menswear from Huckberry already offers lots to love, be it rugged durability, refinement or versatility in your wardrobe, or a touch of all three. And when that menswear arrives on sale for a limited time, well, you’ve got to strike while the iron is hot.

That’s certainly the case with the Wills Wrinkle Free Linen Short Sleeve Shirt, which just might be one of the best shirts for men on the market. It’s up for grabs for a stellar deal right now (25 percent off, based on your selected color and size), so it’s no surprise to this Brooklyn menswear writer that it’s selling mighty fast.

Best summer buttondown shirt for men.

It’s the kind of go-anywhere shirt you can rock with just about anything, be it more easygoing picks like stretch chino shorts and canvas sneakers, or else with dark blue jeans or even tailored linen trousers at the office. It’s also made from a comfortable, pleasantly durable linen-poly blend for more structure and shape, and the fit should prove tailored but not overly tight (nor baggy).

But because it’s part of the Huckberry Summer Sale, it’s flying off digital shelves quickly. With that being said, I’m going to wrap up today’s post early and leave you to shop the Huckberry Summer Sale. Good luck out there, my friends.

The Friday Read: A Rugged New Filson Jacket & The Huckberry Summer Sale

Filson Cruiser Jacket review.

Folks, we’ve got a lot of ground to cover in this Friday Read, so let’s hop right to it. Let’s start by talking about one of the best new jackets for men, courtesy of my friends at Filson. It’s a new take on the Filson Rugged Twill Cruiser Jacket, available in a vibrant exclusive color and made with all the bells and whistles you might expect from the legendary heritage brand.

Filson, in fact, has been a brand on my mind lately, as I’ve spent most of this week in lovely Portland, Oregon — while the brand’s home base is Seattle, it seems Filson fits right in with the breezy, rugged climes of PDX.

While out West, I managed to do my fair share of brewery and bar-hopping, visiting acclaimed spots like Gigantic Brewing & fun locations like Lucky Labrador Brewing, plus award-winning restaurants like Higgins, which boasts an extensive beer list and a focus on fine Belgian ales.

Gerber Knives review.

That’s all in addition to an extensive visit to the Gerber Gear knives factory, where I’ll be diving into a story on making the best USA-made knives and everyday carry gear on the market. It’s just part of my many freelance writing pursuits, and on that note, you should certainly stay tuned for that story!

Huckberry Summer Sale 2023.

In the meantime, here’s another recommendation for you (which I’ll cover in greater depth this coming weekend on the blog). That recommendation? Head on over to Huckberry to shop the outstanding Huckberry Summer Sale, which features some of the best menswear deals around. It’s the kind of sale on menswear essentials that’s quite tough to pass up (I’ll say!).

Since that sale is so extensive, well, I’ll certainly leave you to it. Head into the weekend the right way, shop the best rugged menswear at Huckberry, and as always, we’ll See You Out There. Cheers, my friends!

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent on this Classic Men’s Shirt from Flint and Tinder

Flint and Tinder men's shirt review.

At times, getting a great deal can mean even more than that: Like when you score some savings on one of the best shirts for men, for instance, and if you can do that while getting your new favorite shirt from one of your favorite online retailers.

In this case, I’m talking about Huckberry, an online shop that, in my considerable experience, never cuts corners or fails to come through with some of the most rugged, best menswear on the market.

Hopefully, you’re aware of that fact, but hey, a reminder is always a good thing when building out a wardrobe of summer style essentials, right? And I’ve got some news for you: Huckberry certainly hasn’t let you down with one of its latest deals, part of a plethora of the best menswear deals over in the Huckberry Sale section.

Best everyday shirt for men.

Your next round of style savings arrives courtesy of one of the best everyday shirts for men, the Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt. While Huckberry and the F&T crew do a standout job producing rugged gear like the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, this stylish men’s shirt is a bit more ready for the office, for happy hour and even for a low-key date night — get you a shirt that can do it all, folks.

Flint and Tinder shirt review for men.

Let’s look at those savings right off the bat: You’re saving at least 20 percent on your new go-to shirt, which is made with breezy two-layer double-gauze cotton for softness, breathability and polished style (even in the heat). The Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt wears like an easygoing Oxford shirt, with double-button chest pockets for EDC storage and a more rugged touch.

It’s also outfitted with reinforced elbow patches, but to me, this is a stylish work shirt you can readily wear on a more laidback day at the office. Plus, it’s garment-dyed for additional softness, and it comes in a range of colors (like a crisp Blue Check — my personal favorite) or a stylish Natural colorway.

And since some colorways of the Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt drop as low as $76 (normally $128!), it’s certainly a highly versatile shirt worth buying now — and wearing the rest of summer into fall. Happy shopping and we’ll See You Out There, folks.
