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.

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.

Shop the best men’s gear at Filson

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.

Head to Huckberry now

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.

Shop the Huckberry Sale section now

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.

Style Pick of the Week: Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers – Summer’s Best Adventure Sneakers

Best men's adventure sneakers.

If you ask me, your menswear wardrobe needs a few reminders from time to time. For instance: There’s still plenty of summer on the horizon, and if you could use a new pair of the best outdoor sneakers for your next round of seasonal pursuits (from camping to hiking), then, well, here’s your reminder that the good folks at Huckberry have just what you need.

It’s never to late to add summer menswear essentials to your rotation, particularly considering the fact that it’s continuing to heat up out there. Let’s take a look at what that entails, shall we?

Learn more now at Huckberry

Perhaps that means you’ve got your sights set on another camping getaway, or a day hike to a stream or river (or a hike to a literal watering hole — cheers!). Whatever happens to be on your to-do list, I can nearly guarantee the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers can make it happen.

Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers

It’s not my first time talking about these rugged hiking sneakers here on the blog, so consider this a bit of a reminder, too: They’re part of Huckberry’s Bestsellers for a reason, with retro appeal, modern functionality and a dash of outdoor-centric style thrown in, to boot.

There’s a low-profile design in a mix of throwback color options, all positioned nicely atop a thick treaded rubber outsole: They’re truly hybrid sneakers, with a super-lightweight feel and yet trail-ready traction and durability.

Best trail sneakers for men.

Plus, the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers boast a breathable mesh upper for comfort in the heat, while they’ve also got substantially less drop in terms of the heel and shoe design (4mm versus a more typical 12mm drop). What does that mean for you? It means a more natural, comfortable stride and an increased ability to navigate rocky terrain without missing a beat.

Shop men’s sneakers at Huckberry

And for good measure, the Lems Shoes Trailhead Sneakers are quite affordable as far as hiking sneakers are concerned: They’ll run you $140 at Huckberry, a fair cost among the rest of the lineup of Huckberry’s Bestsellers.

These are more rugged than plain canvas sneakers, they’re easier to pack and wear than traditional hiking boots, and they’re durable enough to take on any challenge the rest of the season. Act accordingly to shake up your footwear rotation, my friends.

The Friday Read: The Best New Huckberry Menswear & A Summer Upstate Trip

It seems it was scarcely a day ago I was talking about a Brooklyn weekend and my experience making one of the best custom hats on the market. And yet, time marches ever forward and we find ourselves on the brink of another sweltering summer weekend.

Best vintage menswear.

In addition to talking about cool vintage menswear curated by the likes of Buck Mason (like the picks above), I’ve stayed plenty busy this week writing about the best necklaces for men over at AskMen, and I’ve also been thinking about how to beat the heat in style. Luckily, it seems easier than ever to do that (or at least, relatively easy) thanks to the likes of Relwen. Let’s take a quick look at the brand on this fine summer Friday, shall we?

Head to Huckberry now

Hopefully, you’re acquainted with Relwen from this blog, or from shopping the Columbus, Ohio brand’s particular strain of all-American menswear. The Huckberry-approved brand is a favorite of mine, with an emphasis on rugged, classic gear often inspired by throwback designs (particularly military staples like field shirts, jackets and streamlined cargo pants and chinos).

And they’re certainly worth a look this summer, especially if you want a durable hybrid blazer like the Relwen Linen Trap Blazer as seen at the top of the page — it’s fit for travel, a short Friday at the office or a summer wedding.

Hotel Kinsley, Kingston.

That’s one brief summer menswear recommendation for you, and that Relwen jacket in particular is the sort of summer travel style essential I can’t go without. To be more specific, I brought some Huckberry gear (including my Forty Five T-shirt and Proof Rover Pants) on a quick upstate jaunt to the lovely town of Hudson, where I sipped on delicious local beer at Kingston Standard, dined at the Hotel Kinsley (as seen above!) and of course, capped it all off with a stellar rock show by beloved indie folk band Big Thief.

Consider each of those menswear picks and destination stops as just a few of my recommendations for your next online shopping spree or New York State visit. For now, I’m signing off and enjoying a bit of downtime (and a bit of time in front of my A/C unit). Thanks so much for reading, and here’s to a summer Friday!

Style Pick of the Week: SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots – Summer’s Best Hybrid Sneakers

Best sneaker boots for men to buy now.

When not one, but two brands come together to get it exactly right in terms of a bona fide summer style essential like a pair of the best sneaker boots for men, well, that’s a beautiful thing in my book. And that’s what you’re getting via today’s Style Pick of the Week, courtesy of Huckberry. That’s not all, my friends.

Learn more now at Huckberry

Lest we forget, today’s Style Pick also comes courtesy of Huckberry pals and collaborators SeaVees, the California-cool sneaker brand with a knack for harnessing retro appeal and modern style. We’ve talked plenty on the blog about SeaVees and the company’s focus on taking old-school styles and breathing new life into them.

Best SeaVees sneaker boots for men.

Here, they also get quite the nice assist from San Fran style favorite Huckberry with the new SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots. They’re here not a moment too soon as you plot your next summer getaway, and they’ve got the build to last into early fall, too. Plus, these kicks are exclusive to Huckberry, and the hits keep rolling in from there.

Best SeaVees sneakers for men.

You’ll note, of course, SeaVees’ signature heel logo, which pairs nicely with a custom branded Huckberry pull tab — that makes these sneaker boots an easy-on, easy-off pair of kicks to wear from town to trail.

And the SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots ramp things up a notch from typical sneakers, using a rugged outsole with deep groves for traction and toughness, not to mention wraparound rubber foxing — it’s another layer of material for plenty of added durability.

Yes indeed, the SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots are some of the most durable, best men’s sneakerboots on the market, and the rich Elmwood color is also exclusive to Huckberry. Plus, these hard-wearing sneaker boots are made of a textured goat leather for some added appeal and visual interest.

If I were you, I’d slide into the SeaVees x Huckberry Ballard Sneaker Boots for summer adventures aplenty, whether styled with stretch chino shorts or rolled light wash denim. The best of both worlds is well within reach, all thanks to Huckberry and SeaVees.

The Friday Read: Heads of State Custom Hats, The Best Summer Suits & A Huckberry Sale

Best custom hat for men.

If you’re a regular reader of the blog (and I certainly hope you are!), then you’re well aware that I believe in the power of stylish accessories to really elevate an #OOTD. And as much as I love my casually rugged rotation of ballcaps, there’s something about an ultra-sharp hat — one that’s made just to your liking — that really goes a long way.

I’m talking about the sort of custom men’s hat you might find at Brooklyn’s Heads of State, a chic-rustic spot in the fast-rising neighborhood of Greenpoint. I visited the shop and met with founder Gwen Rahn earlier this spring, and I was ever so impressed by the company’s approach (both online and at its recently opened retail location).

Learn more about Heads of State

If you’ve been on the fence about adding a more luxe, premium hat to your rotation — perhaps to wear with a summer suit, or perhaps to style with hybrid pieces like a field jacket or shacket in the colder months — fear not, because Heads of State makes it easier than ever to find your perfect fit (as I found out, of course).

Best custom hat for men.

Online, you’ll find a very helpful Hats 101 section, but the experience is even more personalized in store, as Gwen walks you through every step of the process, from which hat shape is right for your noggin to which fabrics and colors might pair well with your wardrobe. There are also customization options aplenty, including various richly crafted trims for your hat, and you can start the process off by selecting from one of four very sharp, Oppenheimer-esque hat silhouettes.

From there, the hats are crafted and finished in-studio in Greenpoint, and then shipped out in well under a month — just in time for your next summer wedding, right?

Customize your own hat at Heads of State

The process is fun and engaging, and the possibilities are seemingly endless. In fact, if you follow me on Instagram, you’re going to see more of my own customized, highly stylish hat very soon. For now, consider making Heads of State your go-to spot for your next (or first!) hat purchase.

In the meantime, here are a few other choice menswear picks I recommend you check out as you roll into your summer weekend. Cheers!

Read more about new summer suits
  • Beyond just the joy of crafting a custom hat, I also love the flair that a stylish timepiece can add to any ensemble. And to find a timepiece that’s inspired by the world of vinyl? Well, that’s a joy in and of itself, too. That’s why I was thrilled to learn more and write about VIEREN, a Canadian watch microbrand that just debuted a stunning gold, vinyl-inspired timepiece. Head over to Maxim.com to read more about it.

That’s going to drawn down the curtain on today’s Friday Read. Are any gears turning on your end about picking up a new custom hat from Heads of State, or trying out a new luxury watch or a stylish summer suit? If so, be sure to let me know on Twitter (or Threads), and in the meantime, have a great weekend and check back here for tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week. See you out there, my friends!
