The Tuesday Steal: This Reliable Everyday Shirt from Relwen and Huckberry Is On Sale Right Now

Best buttondown shirts for men

Every so often as I scour the market for the best men’s style essentials, I come across a piece so near-perfect, so downright essential, it’s a wonder I didn’t have it in my wardrobe before.

You might consider these menswear essentials the sort of dependable workhorse you can trust in many a style situation, be it the best blue jeans or the right buttondown shirt.

And that’s where the best Oxford shirts for men, as we’ve discussed plenty frequently as of late, fit the bill quite nicely for days at the office, for crisply dressed date nights and also for an evening Old Fashioned after a long day in the field (literally and figuratively). And with its versatile cut, durable fabric and classically stylish good looks, the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt checks off those boxes handily, as I tend to say often.

With its ultra-lightweight and easy-to-layer cotton poplin fabric, this handsome shirt boasts all the classic styling details you could want. That hods doubly true if you happen to need a shirt you can wear untucked with dark blue jeans or tucked in beneath a navy stretch cotton blazer (dark tan chinos make for a timeless pairing with that look, I’ve found).

And as luck and good fortune would have it, the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt just so happens to be marked down quite handily over at Huckberry at the moment — the brand is a longtime favorite of the retailer, after all, with its focus on modern updates to timeless styles, often inspired by prep menswear and the military.

What it all comes down to is that the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt is worth even more than its $100 price tag — while that might seem a steeper price to pay for a buttondown shirt, its reviews say that the quality, fit and fabric are downright impeccable (see for yourself at the product page for the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt).

And while only two shirt styles are available right now, both in varying shades of blue, this classically cool shirt comes in other colors with each new season — keep an eye out for what’s next when it comes to your new favorite buttondown shirt, and in the meantime, shop and save now at Huckberry.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt – A Perfectly Rugged Everyday Shirt

Best Oxford shirts for men.

You might say we’ve been on a serious roll as of late when it comes to recommending the best late summer and early fall menswear for guys — it’s a tricky in-between time on some occasions, with cooler late summer nights offset by still-warm days.

And while a log cabin and the promise of fall foliage might be calling your name, there’s still the chance to hit the beach one last time. And as ever, the proper preparation makes a world of stylish difference, particularly as you dress for both the office and for seasonal getaways to close out summer. The key? Starting with the right shirt and building from there, at least in my experience.

What’s a guy to do? The answer, my friends, is a relatively easy one — layer up with transitional, rugged gear, like one of the best Oxford work shirts for men. This, my friends, is where the good folks at Huckberry can help you out in prime fashion.

While it’s sometimes difficult to layer up with a thicker denim or chambray shirt in the high heat of summer, late August is the ideal time to add a sturdy denim shirt like the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt, to your menswear rotation. It’s one part crisply cut Oxford shirt, one part workwear-inspired shirt, and as ready for bonfire evenings as a day on the job or in the drafting room (as the name implies, after all).

In my experience, the best men’s Oxford shirts, like the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt add classically rugged style and utility to your rotation. With its garment-dyed fabrication, it’s a touch more casually rugged than a classic Oxford shirt, and that’s never a bad option to have handy.

Suffice to, the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt is a handsome new option from Huckberry’s stellar in-house brand. It checks quite a few boxes when it comes to utility and performance (not unlike the latest Flint and Tinder denim jacket we talked about yesterday on this Brooklyn style blog).

Shop men’s shirts and more at Huckberry

Now, it’s not the first time we’ve talked about a stylish Oxford shirt from Huckberry and Flint and Tinder (this model very much included), but the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt gets the details right in proper fashion — in a way that only Huckberry can do. It’s also built with stretch and of course, classic buttoned cuffs to roll up those sleeves and get to work.

And with neutral, easy-to-style colorways (including Washed Green, crisp Black and a sharp Navy option), it’s about as ideal as it gets for pairing with everything from tan stretch chinos to expertly faded Huckberry jeans. Meet the demands of a new season head-on with the latest standout shirting option from Huckberry, my friends.

The Friday Find: Flint and Tinder’s Denim Trucker Jacket is A Perfect Take on a Timeless Classic

Best denim jackets for men.

As I often like to say when it comes to this new weekly series of stylish weekend finds, well, it’s sometimes best to just keep it simple: To focus on the classics as far as menswear essentials are concerned, and to focus on selections that can suit you well now and on into the cooler fall months ahead.

One of the best denim jackets for men fits the bill quite handsomely in that regard, particularly if it’s made by one of the very best online menswear stores for stylish fellas (that includes you and me both!) — and that store, as you well know if you read this New York City style blog, happens to be Huckberry.

Shop new seasonal gear and more at Huckberry

And so, let’s dial into the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket, a tasteful swerve from Flint and Tinder’s customary lineup of the best waxed trucker jackets around.

As you’ll see with the richly crafted, hard-wearing Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket, it boasts the same fabled silhouette as the iconic waxed trucker jacket from which it takes its many style cues. And the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket is all the better for it, using “sturdy 12.75oz Cone Mills rigid denim,” as Huckberry notes, along with crisp details like slanted chest pockets with rounded, eye-catching flaps.

The handsome and expertly fashioned Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket also happens to be double-stitched and finished with vertical stitching across the body, and your new favorite denim jacket also features adjustable waist side tabs.

Beyond those crisp and classic details, the hard-working Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket is unlined for easy layering as we move from summer into fall — the list of dependable benefits and serious style points goes on (and on, and on!) but for now, you just might have to discover the beauty and wearability of the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket for yourself. Happy Friday, my friends — here’s to the weekend, and here’s to plenty of value and style from Huckberry!

See Now, Buy Now: These Rugged Sebago Boat Shoes Perfectly Bridge the Gap Between Late Summer and Early Fall

There are certain types of menswear essentials that fall squarely into one category or another: Tailored swim trunks meant for summer, canvas sneakers made for warmer weather, rugged flannel shirting made for brisk fall days, and so on.

So when you come across a selection that can exist solidly in two seasons (or more!), it’s worth taking another, closer look — that’s often the case with the fine wares at Huckberry, a retailer for all seasons that just so happens to stock a slew of classics, like handsome boat shoes from legendary footwear maker Sebago. Let’s see what the brand has come up with to carry you from late summer into early fall, shall we?

Learn more now at Huckberry

While lightweight canvas boat shoes might seem firmly made for spring and summer, the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes tend to take their design cues from rugged chukka boots as well as Sebago’s iconic boat shoes. That versatility, my friends, makes them certainly ideal for cool summer nights heading towards the season ahead.

You see, the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes deliver rugged appeal with waxed and oiled leather, the kind that stands out handsomely underneath cuffed indigo selvedge jeans. The thick rubber lug outsole also gives the sturdy Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes more heft than your average pair of boat shoes: You could freely wear these stylish men’s boat shoes with thicker cotton chinos or even canvas work pants as you retool the bonfire at a log cabin weekend.

Heritage quality is paramount when it comes to the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes, which also feature rawhide laces for (again) a rugged touch. Plus, contrast moccasin stitching means the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes have more in common with moc toe boots than other styles of boat shoe on the market. They retain their casual appeal, but could perhaps even be styled with wool trousers and an Oxford shirt, along with thicker boot-style socks (a style move for the pros, yourself included).

Between their hardy design, sturdy construction, historic details and dependable nature, these boat shoes are practically tailor-made to be worn now with chino shorts and a chambray shirt, and then in the weeks ahead with rolled denim and a lightweight cardigan. To me, it’s an #OOTD that comes out way the style gods would have intended as you move from summer to fall, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This RRL Denim Trucker Jacket from Huckberry is a Stone-Cold Classic for Transitional Weather

There’s never quite a bad time to add something utterly classic to your menswear rotation, or to keep refining said menswear rotation, particularly as the weather shifts ever-so-slightly from summer’s high heat into the cooler climes of early fall.

This, of course, is where one of the best denim jackets for men comes into play, often made with tough, sturdy construction and an impeccable eye for detail — at least, that’s the case with the RRL Lot-271 Denim Jacket, a heritage-focused take on the timeless, Western-inspired men’s denim trucker jacket. And per modern tradition, you can expect one of the best online menswear shops — Huckberry, in this case — to stock and sell as fine an example as any on the outerwear market.

Find out more and shop now at Huckberry

As past RRL reviews have pointed out on this very Brooklyn style blog, the brand — a rugged and historical, Western-inspired offshoot of Ralph Lauren — doesn’t do things half-speed. Attention to detail, heritage quality and remarkable construction are all points of pride for RRL, and that certainly carries over when it comes to the RRL Lot-271 Denim Jacket.

Fashioned from 100 percent premium Japanese cotton denim, the build of this jacket should prove sturdy yet supple, as vintage-inspired stitching and detailing nicely complements contrasting hardware.

The RRL Lot-271 Denim Jacket is pleasingly broken in (at least in its expertly worn-in Leland Wash), and that should make it all the more wearable with everything from black selvedge jeans to burgundy corduroys or a pair of the best chinos for men.

And the rugged nature of the RRL Lot-271 Denim Jacket makes it a natural fit atop staples you already own, be it one of the best men’s henleys, a white Oxford shirt or a simple, casual pocket tee for a sense of effortless cool. As the good folks at Huckberry note, this timeless denim jacket was “inspired by the details found on vintage workwear,” and should wear as stylishly as jackets favored by its namesake designer himself.

Of course, these exceptional details mean the RRL Lot-271 Denim Jacket comes at a hefty price tag compared to other variations on the best denim jackets for men, but in my experience, RRL is surely worth the price tag. If you end up bolstering your style rotation with this must-have investment, let me know in the comments below — happy early fall layering, and stay stylish, my friends!

See Now, Buy Now: This Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt is a Modern Spin on an Icon

I don’t know about you, but as I scour the market high and low for the best gear for men, I tend to turn to retailers — and style silhouettes — I know and trust. It’s something we’ve talked a lot about here on this Brooklyn style blog, but it can pay big-time dividends to be able to shop the same retailers and brands consistently, and that’s why I find myself turning nearly on the daily to Huckberry.

They’re purveyors of everything from the stylish Flint and Tinder denim shirt shown above to staple pieces like the best waxed trucker jackets, dependable stretch jeans, rugged boots and much, much more (so much more!).

Learn more now at Huckberry

The Austin-based retailer has a near 15-year history of rugged, durable, stylish gear with an eye towards the classics, and for about 10 years, Flint and Tinder (starting with the famed Flint and Tinder 10-Year Hoodie) has been a major part of that journey.

It makes absolutely perfect sense that the company updates the classics with each passing season, from one of the best new chore coats to a vintage-inspired denim shirt with military-grade detailing. Here just in time to start the transition (slowly but surely!) from late summer into early, early fall, the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt utterly delivers when it comes to top-notch design and construction, retro inspiration and hard-working appeal.

The specs on the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt are precisely what you might expect from Huckberry, in the best way possible. The denim shirt has a durable heritage, after all, from the Wild West to the factory floor, and this number uses military-grade Japanese Urea buttons for a dependable finish.

Best denim shirts for men.

Super-soft, broken-in cotton denim gives your new favorite denim shirt easy wearability right out of the box, while two flap front chest pockets deliver the workshirt utility you need to store your everyday carry. The handsome Light Wash fabrication of the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt is my personal favorite, with the ability to team with black jeans, grey stretch chinos, olive drawstring pants or tobacco corduroys come the colder months.

The Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt also boasts standout layering potential — consider wearing it atop a thermal henley or a heavyweight pocket tee as temperatures start to drop in the weeks ahead. It’s also hard not to appreciate the use of contrast white stitching throughout the shirt.

Shop men’s shirting and more at Huckberry

As with other Flint and Tinder menswear from Huckberry, it should prove rugged and built to last (especially in its eye-catching Natural shade, a fashionable departure from the norm as far as the best denim shirts for men are concerned).

With durability, classic style and layering potential top of mind, the best men’s denim shirts are a must-buy for any casually cool fall menswear collection, and I couldn’t agree more with what Huckberry has dreamed up via the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt.

The Tuesday Steal: This Relwen Short-Sleeve Shirt is a Reliable Daily Style Move for Summer

It’s never too late to start retooling and revamping your warm-weather wardrobe, especially as we roll into what you truly might call the dog days of summer. In my experience, being prepared goes a long way in the world of men’s style essentials — having the right gear at hand in your closet, like one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts for a dash of polish and comfort — is a must, is it not? And that’s where today’s must-buy style steal comes into play via our good friends at Huckberry and Relwen.

The Ohio-based, heritage-inspired brand draws on menswear looks from decades past, like the short-sleeve shirt your grandfather might have worn to the shop. This time though, the Relwen Highland Blues Short-Sleeve Shirt features a retooled fit, more modern fabric and crisp looks in every stitch — better still is the fact that it can be had for a downright steal in the always-evolving Huckberry Sale section.

That makes it a winner in my book, one you can wear well past Labor Day — and one you can even layer beneath a lightweight cotton sweater (like this one!) or even a more leisurely, stylish quarter-zip pullover on cool late summer and early fall evenings.

Don’t overlook the versatility of one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts: The Relwen Highland Blues Short-Sleeve Shirt boasts a sturdy yet supple 100 percent cotton poplin twill build (in its Light Blue and White checked variation), along with details like a crisp buttondown collar and a chest pocket for a sense of casual style.

Helpfully, the Relwen Highland Blues Short-Sleeve Shirt features a tailored fit that’s neither too classic nor too tight — ideal for wearing untucked alongside chino shorts or a pair of Huckberry’s famed stretch chinos, wouldn’t you say?

Better still is the fact that your new favorite short-sleeve shirt is about 30 percent off right now via the lauded Huckberry Sale section — how’s that for a deal on a crisply designed short-sleeve shirt you can wear most every weekend (and even to the office, if layered up properly)? Not bad at all, my friends, and it looks to me like the Huckberry Sale section has come through once again.

Well, first off: Evaluate your shopping cart for any stragglers you might have left behind, any menswear and gear selections that you perhaps haven’t bought yet — remember, the company stocks and sells its own line of menswear from brands like Flint and Tinder, as well as an array of selections from Filson, Taylor Stitch, Astorflex and many more.

The headline, really, says it all: For breezy, expertly crafted summer style in the heat, just buy the aptly named Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt.

There’s much to love about the crisply designed Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt — the company modeled it after a timeless, any-season Oxford shirt, yet used ultra-lightweight and comfortable 100 percent linen for a finish that stands up to summer’s heat. Right now, the Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt is marked down below $90 on sale — a sale price that won’t stick around for very long, of course.

It also comes in a wide offering of sizes (from Extra Small up to 3XL), and offers up the notion that looking polished in the heat is as easy as finding the right buttondown shirt to pair with everything from drawstring lounge linen shorts to stretch chinos and leather loafers at the office.

A chest pocket, a curved shirttail hem and a length that looks positively great tucked in or untucked all deliver the kind of style your summer wardrobe simply can’t live without. I’m a fan of the ultra-versatile Natural shade, as well as Dusty Olive and even the change of pace that the Brown version of the Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt offers.

When it comes time to suit up or to put your best foot forward, linen is the answer in your shirting rotation, and Flint and Tinder’s latest on-sale gem gets the job done — score it now while the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale lasts.
