The Sunday Sale: Take An Extra 15 Percent Off On-Sale Menswear at Huckberry This Week

Huckberry Winter Sale 2023

As I often talk about here at The Style Guide, curating a wardrobe packed with menswear essentials you love to wear should be fun, it should be consistent, and it should involve really seizing the day and striking while the iron is hot, so to speak. What exactly do I mean by that?

Well, take this weekend’s ongoing menswear sale at Huckberry, long one of my favorite brands (and one of the best online menswear shops at which to spend your hard-earned cash). If you know where to look — say, the Huckberry Sale section — you can indeed strike while the iron is hot, saving yourself an extra 15 percent in the process.

Even as we roll through 2023 and move ever closer to March, it can still feel like a bit of an odd sensation to dress up in one of the best men’s blazers, right? Of course, you very well might have been back in the office a while ago, but dress codes are ever shifting, formal events seem somewhat less formal and yet, there’s still the need to put your best foot forward.

Yes, that’s right — Huckberry. The retailer seems to nail the perfect balance between rugged and refined gear: You can shop your favorite waxed trucker jacket one minute, then swap it out for stretch chinos and something as polished as the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer, and you can do so at a moment’s notice… without missing a beat. Made in part from a blend of wool and elastane, this stylish men’s blazer boasts comfortable stretch (as so many menswear essentials do these days), yet it’s backed by the experience of Huckberry’s Portuguese tailoring partners.

Best wool blazer for men.

That means you can order the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer in your regular suiting chest size, and it arrives with hand-finished details like collar and front placket stitching, plus a half-canvas construction for improved drape, structure and durability. Buying a blazer online can be tricky, but if the reliability, service and performance of Huckberry gear is to be believed, then the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer — which also comes with matching trousers — should certainly hold true.

It features standard flap suit pockets and a medium-width lapel for a classic look and feel, while the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer boasts a single rear vent (like the suit coats most recently worn by James Bond), which is a bit more modern and sporty in terms of design. Crucially, you can pick up the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer in timeless colors like Grey and Heather Navy, but more distinctive colors like Heather Bourbon are a way to nod to current suiting trends without overdoing it.

Satchel and Page

And if you pair up the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer with its matching trousers (also available in an agreeable range of sizes), then you’re getting both a fairly classic suit and sportcoat for just over $500 for the two pieces. That’s versatility and timeless style that can’t be topped, so shop your new go-to blazer today at Huckberry.

Helpfully, Huckberry has built the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket with every last bit of the same care and consideration as the Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket (the jacket worn by Pedro Pascal in “The Last of Us,” for good measure). The exterior fabric is durable and yet made to break in and develop a handsome patina over time, while the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket is, naturally, lined with cotton flannel and boasts corduroy cuff and collar trim for a classic touch.

Part tailored jacket, part sweater, all versatility.

The detailing, from the point stitching and pockets to the snap buttons and a pleasingly faded series of wash options, is as on-point as you’ve come to expect from Huckberry. The 8oz. cotton denim is an agreeable weight, able to be layered easily over one of the best men’s henleys, buttoned up on its own or worn underneath a classic shawl cardigan. Of course, the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt works very well right now in colder weather, and should function readily as one of the best men’s shirt jackets as the weather slowly but surely warms up.

For good measure, the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt is priced agreeably for a shirt that’s both a shirt and, well, a shirt jacket — it’s available at Huckberry for $158, and that’s a heck of a deal for one of the best USA-made shirts out there. The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt comes in two classic blue wash options, but there’s also a Salt-and-Pepper addition to really switch things up this late winter and into spring.

That’s the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt for you, folks.

See Now, Buy Now: This Wellen Chore Coat from Huckberry is a Rugged Winter Style Upgrade

Best men's chore coat for winter.

There comes a time in every season when your wardrobe starts to feel a little stale, even if you’ve done your best to stock it with, say, a selection of the best men’s winter jackets. Of course, that’s where your good friends (and my good friends!) at Huckberry come into play, with plenty of men’s style essentials to shake up even the worst case of the winter doldrums. I’d imagine you’re well-acquainted with the retailer’s rugged-meets-refined offerings, but a refresher is never a bad thing — that’s certainly true when it comes to shopping one of the best men’s chore coats, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat.

It’s got all of the trappings of a perfectly rugged, durable chore coat, yet it’s been done up in a warm yet surprisingly lightweight, unlined polyester-wool-nylon blend. That makes the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat a nice layer to throw on over a fisherman sweater or a more thick-knit jumper, or even one of the best men’s flannel shirts (both of which you can find at Huckberry, of course). And the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat has plenty more going for it beyond just that toasty (and again, lightweight!) winter fabric.

Best chore coat for men.

Notably, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat is modeled after old-school, vintage blankets with vivid, rich patterns — take your pick from a Jacquard Stripe option or two handsome plaid variations. The Wellen Blanket Chore Coat also boasts all the classic trappings of a rugged chore coat, including two button-front patch pockets, an interior pocket for your phone, and a patch chest pocket for even more EDC storage.

All of those features turn the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat into a highly useful yet polished winter coat, one you can even wear in place of a blazer over your favorite Oxford shirt if you so choose. Best of all, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat is priced fairly at just under $200, an agreeable price to pay to shake up your winter wardrobe. We’ll see you out there, my friends.

They’re a hard-working pair of no-fuss, no-frills boots with classic, sharp style details — and as of this writing, they’re marked down a whopping 50 percent to $125. Even full-price at $250, the Rhodes Footwear Logan Boots are the kind of pair of rugged, versatile leather boots every guy should have on hand.

Best men's lace-up boots.

You see, the Rhodes Footwear Logan Boots hail from Huckberry’s rugged-meets-refined Rhodes brand, which also specializes in some of the best chukka boots for men, not to mention durable Chelsea boots and of course, the hard-working lace-up boots shown here today.

The 5-inch silhouette is a step up from chukka boots, but they’re lightweight enough for everyday wear, as Huckberry sagely notes. And the Rhodes Footwear Logan Boots get plenty more details correct in that regard, including the use of tumbled, waxy leather designed to get better over time. Helpfully, the silhouette of the Rhodes Footwear Logan Boots wears well with everything from, say Huckberry chinos to stylish blue jeans.

And to round things out the dependable Rhodes Footwear Logan Boots are set on a Vibram outsole for grip and a smooth ride underfoot. And again, if you need a reminder: When on sale, the Rhodes Footwear Logan Boots retail for just $125. That’s one heck of a deal on some of the best boots for men you’re apt to find right now.

Crucially, this stylish puffer jacket uses down-alternative insulation for warmth in chilly conditions, and the utility of the Relwen Windzip Jacket only gets better from there.

Helpfully, the Relwen Windzip Jacket features a nylon and spandex exterior for abrasion resistance, yet it’s also water-resistant when the going gets tough. The stand-up collar delivers added protection on breezy days, while the black hardware is a sleek and durable touch. For good measure, a large chest pocket provides useful EDC space. And to round things out quite handsomely, you can find the Relwen Windzip Jacket in four highly wearable colors.

The Friday Read: The Huckberry Winter Sale, Adidas Sport Headphones & The Most Affordable Sunglasses

Huckberry Winter Sale 2023

My friends, let’s dive right on in to another momentous edition of the Friday Read. I say momentous because, well, it’s Super Bowl Weekend, followed by Valentine’s Day. And better still around these parts, it’s the start of New York Fashion Week (always a hectic yet exciting time). Here’s something you can enjoy even if you’re not in New York City, though. That’d be the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, an ideal time to get some of the very best winter menswear for up to 40 percent off.

Take heed: The Huckberry Annual Winter Sale only runs until February 12th, so you’d best act quickly to stock up on rugged, classic gear in equal measure. How about it, ehh? And if you’re more partial to sporting pursuits, not to worry: I’m going to spotlight new Adidas active headphones momentarily.

Part tailored jacket, part sweater, all versatility.

Beyond that, you can certainly follow me on Instagram for the latest #NYFW happenings, as I’ll have a dispatch on the most wearable (yes, truly wearable!) looks coming later this month for the one and only Fatherly. In the meantime, stock up on your new favorite trucker jacket or pair of boots from the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, and let’s get into the rest of your weekend reading and shopping.

Best sport headphones for men.
  • Through my freelance writing pursuits, I get the chance to test out all kinds of seriously cool gear, including some of the best Bluetooth headphones on the market. For my own walking and hiking around Brooklyn and the borough’s Prospect Park, I’ve been testing out the crystal-clear Adidas FWD-02 Sport Headphones, a streamlined pair of in-ear headphones made for the wearer that’s always on the go. The Adidas FWD-02 Sport Headphones are a useful upgrade for training sessions, but they’re compact and easily wearable enough to support daily use. Snag a pair before your next gym morning or late winter road trip.
  • I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Winter is no excuse to skimp on stylish shades, especially on those rare days when sunlight does stream through crisp white winter clouds. And for my money’s worth, and yours, there’s a way to upgrade your everyday carry with some of the best men’s sunglasses… all the while saving a few bucks in the process. My friends, I give you my guide to the best under-$100 sunglasses over at Maxim.
  • If you gave Dry January an earnest shot this year and are still feeling “sober-curious” about going booze-free, here’s something you might find useful: Over at SPY, I gave the boozy hops a break (if only briefly) and wrote about some of the best non-alcoholic beers on the market. Again, Dry January might have come and gone, but you just might want to make some room in your beer fridge for some new, non-boozy additions.

Fully fashioned crewneck sweater to keep you warm against the harshest winter climates.

Still need to catch up with the latest happenings here on the blog this week? Yesterday, I wrote about one of the most rugged winter jackets to buy now, the classic Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser Jacket. Here’s the full scoop as you power through Friday. We’ll see you for tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week, and our Sunday Sale as scheduled. In the meantime, enjoy those cold beers and chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday. Cheers, my friends!
