Style Pick of the Week: Proof Volt Parka – The Best Men’s Winter Jacket for Layering

Now that we’ve incredibly hit the first of the new year, believe it or not, let’s turn our attention to the matter at hand: Snapping up one of the best men’s winter jackets for immediate winter warmth and plenty of style. Of course, Huckberry is the place to go for said winter jacket, and as to be expected with the San Francisco retailer, they’re doing a little bit more than just stocking and selling any old winter parka. No sir, the Proof Volt Parka is probably one of the coolest winter jackets this Brooklyn writer has seen, and that’s a compliment of the highest order.

Get your new favorite winter jacket ASAP

If you quite literally want a jacket that’s engineered to deliver heat with the touch of a button, you’ve found it in the Proof Volt Parka. That’s right: This durable winter parka is built with three battery-powered heating panels within the jacket itself (one back panel and two chest panels), making it unlike any winter jacket on the market. It’s the kind of innovation seemingly only Huckberry can dream up, and that’s great news for yourself and anyone else who wants one of the best men’s winter jackets.

It’s like a warm hug to lift your soul through cold winter days, but beyond that, the Proof Volt Parka is simply a great winter jacket for layering and seasonal excursions, innovative technology aside. The nylon shell, made with stretch fabric for ease of movement, is coated with DWR technology to take on blustery winter winds and snowy weather. And beyond just those helpful and remarkable heating panels, the Proof Volt Parka features down insulation to deliver stunning warmth all on its own, especially when layered with one of the best thermal shirts and a rugged flannel overshirt. The rest of the specs on the Proof Volt Parka are also too good to pass up, from the metallic lining (made to store heat from the battery packs) to the useful drawstring hood. Equipped with an energy-efficient rechargeable battery (which you’ll have to snag on your own), the heating panels can last for up to 8 hours in especially chilly conditions.

Try out your new favorite winter jacket

For hitting the slopes, hitting the road or hitting the town, there might not be a better jacket to have in your wardrobe and on your shoulders than the ready-for-anything Proof Volt Parka. It’s more expensive than your average winter jacket, sure, but then again, that’s the Huckberry difference. If you do manage to snag it, let me know on Twitter. Cheers and here’s to the new year!

See Now, Buy Now: This Rugged Schott Cardigan Is The Must-Buy Winter Sweater You Need Now

Sometimes, the best way to stay warm in winter is a blend of the old-school and the new-school. For instance, take a good look at one of the best men’s sweaters as shown above: The Schott Yak Blend Cardigan Sweater is an ideal example of the benefits of both modern style and old-school appeal. It comes from Schott, after all, makers of some of the very best leather jackets for men, season after season and year after year. And they haven’t cut any corners when it comes to the Schott Yak Blend Cardigan Sweater, a durable and dependable sweater made to the brand’s exacting specifications.

Shop men’s sweaters at Huckberry

The shawl collar silhouette is also one that looks perfectly on-trend these days, yet harkens back to throwback style a la Steve McQueen, and even well beyond that, all the way back to the days when the best men’s cardigans were used in the most extreme conditions on the planet. So in your own world and for your own winter style pursuits, the Schott Yak Blend Cardigan Sweater can more than pass muster. Of course, that’s great news, considering it’s stocked and sold by the fine folks at Huckberry.

The Schott Yak Blend Cardigan Sweater, as you might expect, switches things up from your traditional cardigan in a way that only the revered menswear makers at Schott can pull off. For starters (and as you might have guessed), this cardigan incorporates cotton and yak wool alongside polyester for a mix of stretchy, cozy comfort. The shawl design of the Schott Yak Blend Cardigan Sweater also provides extra coverage around your neck. This cardigan just might prove thick enough to replace a more lightweight winter coat if you layer it over one of the best men’s flannel shirts, for instance. Plus, the thick rib knit and oversized buttons ensure this is a cardigan that can withstand both layering and winter weather.

Shop and stock up at Huckberry

The bulky design should give you room to layer without being overly baggy, though. If you’ve been on the hunt for a cardigan like the one worn by Daniel Craig in the thriller movie “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” for instance, this is a close substitute to the rugged shawl cardigan he wears. And that’s style worth emulating, is it not? Now, the Schott Yak Blend Cardigan Sweater is both fast-selling and also priced more expensively than other options when it comes to the best men’s sweaters, and that’s OK, because it’s worth it (the sweater retails for $180 at Huckberry). Reliable performance and rugged style is the name of the game with the Schott Yak Blend Cardigan Sweater, and if that sounds like a sweater you need in your life, then I’d say you need to stock up accordingly.

The Thursday Buy: The Relwen Quilted Tanker is the Coolest Winter Jacket to Buy Right Now

Building the right winter wardrobe is as much about the details as it is about the big-ticket items, like securing one of the best winter jackets for men. You’ve hopefully already got some of the best men’s winter boots on your list, for example, but there’s more to it than that when it comes down to getting dressed for winter. Time is of the essence these days, as winter rolls into town in earnest — why not score a rugged, perfectly functional jacket from Relwen to make fighting winter weather that much more smooth and stylish? It’s not all about looks when it comes to Relwen though, and the military-inspired brand (sold by your friends at Huckberry, one of the best online shops for men) goes above and beyond here with the Relwen Quilted Tanker. If you’ve not yet shopped the Columbus-based brand, now’s your chance.

Shop Relwen menswear right now

If you want a jacket that’s dependable, rugged and yet fashion-forward in its own way (note the camo pattern below), then the Relwen Quilted Tanker is your best bet at the moment. It’s modeled off a cold-weather tanker jacket (note the military tie-in), but it’s been updated for 2021 and beefed up in the all the right places. The woven nylon-cotton shell won’t slow you down, as it’s not overly bulky, and it’s also been treated with a peached, brushed finish for added softness. The Relwen Quilted Tanker checks all the proper boxes in the comfort department, and then some. That’s not all, folks.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker is packed with bells and whistles you need when gearing up for frigid conditions, right down to the recycled poly fill and a box quilting for maximum insulation when and where you need it most. From there, it’s all about the helpful design touches that you can only find at many partner brands as sold at Huckberry. Take the right zipper chest pocket to store your everyday carry essentials, for instance, plus quilted hip utility pockets for even more storage potential. The Relwen Quilted Tanker is overly built, dependable as can be and meant to take on adventures on and off the trail (or around town).

Shop the best quilted jackets at Huckberry

Better still, the Relwen Quilted Tanker should fit somewhat slim while still offering potential for layering, especially, with, say, a durable Relwen sweater. How’s that for a brand you can trust? To really finish things off the right way, once you’ve layered this jacket atop other cozy winter staples, then you can either zip up the Relwen Quilted Tanker, use the snap-front closure or do both to keep out chilly seasonal weather. Last but certainly not least, the Relwen Quilted Tanker is available in a wear-with-anything (seriously, anything) Dark Forest or Black Camo color, and the stand-up, dual-snap collar adds yet another layer of functionality. The Relwen Quilted Tanker can go anywhere you want it to go this season.

See Now, Buy Now: These Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants Are Your New Winter Trousers

If you haven’t yet found one of the best pairs of men’s pants for winter, now’s the perfect time to stock up accordingly, and you’ll be relieved to know you can find your new favorite pants at your favorite retailer (or one of your favorite retailers, that is). I’m talking about Huckberry, the San Francisco (and Austin!)-based merchant that’s built quite the foundation for itself over the years as far as men’s style classics are concerned. Heck, just check out the rundown of Huckberry Bestsellers up for grabs, including the winter-friendly Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants.

Shop corduroy pants and more at Huckberry

They’re just like the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants you love and wear the rest of the year, yet this time, they’re done up in a seasonally ready fabric and packed with plenty of style points. You already know Huckberry as the makers of some of the best boots for men, not to mention one of the top men’s jackets you can layer up with this season. So, why not expand your Huckberry-centric wardrobe even further with the ever-reliable Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants? There’s lots to love about these tailored pants, starting with three excellent fits (Slim, Straight and Tapered), plus a wealth of colors from which to choose. Keep on scrolling for more, though.

So, color and fit are on-point, naturally, with the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants — as to be expected, of course. What about fabrication? Of course, the good folks at Huckberry deliver there, too. 98 percent cotton corduroy and 2 percent stretch comes together in a pair of the best men’s pants for cold-weather dressing, from the office to holiday parties and winter weekends on the road. Antique nickel hardware is a nice design touch, but where these pants really shine is that crucial blend of both style and sustainability. 98 percent of the water used to make the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants is repurposed and reused, a notable benchmark given that it can be tough to make pants sustainably these days. Fear not though, because your friends at Huckberry are on it.

Find your fit now at Huckberry

No matter which fit or color you select of the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants, you’re going to get standout seasonal style in spades. They’re every bit as versatile as the classic 365 Pants, so feel free to pair them up with more rugged picks from the rotation of Huckberry Bestsellers, like the much-loved Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket and a pair of finely crafted leather boots (I’d suggest layering up with one of the best thermal shirts for men to round things out). And if you want to go dressy, perhaps with a retro-inspired cardigan and an Oxford shirt, the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants offer up crisp, yet comfortable, style in spades. Again, no matter the fit, style or color you select, the Flint and Tinder 365 Corduroy Pants have the potential to be an unstoppable pair of pants this winter. See for yourself and reap the stylish rewards. Cheers, my friends!

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Shawl Cardigan – The Most Rugged Winter Cardigan to Buy Now

I’m always of the opinion that in matters of men’s style, it’s best not to get caught flat-footed. That is to say, I think shopping for the best winter style essentials is of the essence right now, seeing as we’ve hit December, and that goes for plenty of different picks in your wardrobe — including one of the best men’s cardigans. We’ve got Relwen and the aptly named Relwen Shawl Cardigan to dig into right now, and if you hadn’t yet given a cardigan a good, long look this winter, now’s the best time to add yet another vital men’s sweater to your rotation. It’s coming at you courtesy of Huckberry, of course, and it certainly makes sense that the multi-faceted men’s retailer can deliver on one of the best sweaters for men, and then some.

Shop your new favorite men’s sweater

The cardigan has definitely had a style moment over the past handful of years, but it’s here to stay, mainly because it’s a certified menswear classic with functional roots (note the thick shawl collar, designed to serve as another layer of protection against the winter wind). And beyond that, a pick like the Relwen Shawl Cardigan has the sort of style roots that almost serve as an homage to menswear icons like Steve McQueen, who himself loved a shawl collar cardigan back in the day. These days, the Relwen Shawl Cardigan has more modern fabric going for it (in this case, a body made of merino wool and low pill acrylic), plus a nicely tailored fit. With the Relwen Shawl Cardigan, things are just getting started. In short, it translates everything you love about the military influences of Relwen, and brings it forward into 2021.

In every facet imaginable, the Relwen Shawl Cardigan is a step up from the ordinary, price included (it retails for a splurge-worthy $298 at Huckberry). That means that it’s got all the specs and style points you could want, and then some. It’s even lined in a cotton jersey-spandex blend, which makes it almost like a jacket as opposed to a more thin merino wool cardigan, for instance. The thick rib knit also gives the Relwen Shawl Cardigan even more of a vintage-inspired feel, like a cardigan you’d find stowed away at a coastal or mountain cabin on a cold night. What’s not to love about that? There’s even a chest pocket and two hip pockets for stowing your everyday carry essentials, making this ideal to wear as top layer if it’s not too snowy or blustery.

Shop men’s sweaters at Huckberry now

The Relwen Shawl Cardigan is decidedly a bit more bulky than your average sweater, but you should still be able to layer it up underneath a waxed trucker jacket in a pinch (and how does it get any more rugged for winter than that?). Last but not least, if you so choose, you can use two collar buttons to get even more closure around your neck for added warmth in extreme conditions — the Relwen Shawl Cardigan really does check all the boxes, and it looks perfectly classic and ultra-stylish while doing so. It’s one of the best men’s cardigans, easily. If you decide to layer up with it, feel free to let me know on Twitter. Here’s to a winter weekend, my friends!

The Thursday Buy: The Rhodes Winslow Boots from Huckberry are the Most Versatile Boots to Wear This Season

Now’s the perfect time to lace up your new favorite pair of boots — if you’ve taken care of shopping for the boots in question, that is to say. If not, well, you’re just in time to stock up on some of the best men’s boots, a pair that’s as stellar, rugged and stylish as they come. That’d be the Rhodes Winslow Boots, one heck of a pair of stylish leather lace-up boots that check all the right boxes this season and well beyond. Checking off the boxes, after all, is something of a Huckberry specialty, and the good folks at the San Francisco-based retailer set out to make a set of workwear-inspired boots with plenty of knowledge and a sturdy vision in mind. You see, the Rhodes Footwear line is a lot like the rest of Huckberry’s standout offerings, including the best waxed trucker jacket on the market.

Lace up your go-to leather boots from Huckberry

Rhodes debuted in the fall of 2018 with a focus on making subtly stylish, well-priced and expertly made boots, mostly of the dress and chukka varieties, but the latest and greatest launch is, again, workwear boots that offer something slightly lighter, slightly more casual and still plenty wearable all the same. The Rhodes Winslow Boots are an ideal pair of boots to buy right now if you want to ease into the colder months without reverting right away to snow boots, which is as it should be, after all. These toe the line (literally) between bulky work or snow boots and less substantial (but no less essential) chukka boots. Think of the Rhodes Winslow Boots like an excellent middle ground, and some of the best men’s boots for fall, right down to the small details.

Those small details, naturally, are what Huckberry has worked so hard to get right, and with the Rhodes Winslow Boots, that effort shines through. For under $200, you get a pair of boots made with rich full-grain roughout leather designed to only get better with age (these are some of the best boots for men, after all). The upper totals 5 inches, so they aren’t outrageously high — more like a mid-boot than an ankle or chukka boot, but again, no less useful for the fall and winter months.

Buy the Rhodes Winslow Boots now

The Rhodes Winslow Boots are also built atop a soft and springy Meramec outsole, which gives them less traction in the snow but provides a mighty smooth ride in plenty of other types of weather, or simply on blustery fall days with crunching leaves underfoot. The boots are also handcrafted in the footwear mecca that is Leon, Mexico, another place where plenty of the best boots for men are made, season after season. Because they’re a plain-toe boot with a wedge outsole, you’re going to get plenty of wear out of ’em with all of your favorite casual style essentials, from faded denim, a classic henley and the best waxed trucker jacket to a chambray shirt and tan chinos for a nice blend of high-low style. You can even wear them this holiday season (and they’d be great boots to wear for Thanksgiving) — just add a soft, slim-fit flannel shirt and tailored blue jeans to hit the mark, folks. The next time you need a pair of reliable-as-can-be leather boots, the Rhodes Winslow Boots are going to come through in the clutch.
