The Tuesday Steal: This Line of Trade Utility Shirt is an On-Sale Spring Workwear Steal from Bespoke Post

Spring weather brings with it the return of breezy, sunny days — ideal for breaking out some of your favorite menswear essentials, of course — but the season isn’t without its style challenges, including the need to gear up for all manner of rough-and-tumble work, spring cleaning and yes, the occasional adventure. You can readily turn to the folks at Bespoke Post for each and every single one of those situations, and then some — the same can be said for the brand the company helped start, Line of Trade.

While Line of Trade is now its own fully shoppable brand stocked with Americana classics like chambray shirts, canvas work pants and one of the best shawl cardigans, the great news is, you can still score discounts on Line of Trade menswear at Bespoke Post, which is why we find ourselves looking at one of the best workshirts for men at the top of the page, the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt.

For each of those pursuits mentioned above — from spring adventures to crisp spring outdoor imbibing (Happy Bell’s Oberon Week, my friends!), this durable workshirt rises to the challenge in matters of style and utility.

That’s an ideal thing indeed, because I’d wager you can get plenty of versatile wear out of the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt, all the while resting easy as your new favorite workshirt is marked down about 35 percent.

The Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt is a near-perfect way to bridge the gap from your rotation of winter-ready flannel shirts to much lighter summer shirts in blends like cotton and linen — in fact, this shirt is made from a top-woven shuttle cloth that’s densely fabricated, yet still able to layer comfortably over a pocket T-shirt and beneath your favorite waxed jacket.

All the classic workshirt touches can be found in the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt, including buttoned chest pockets for your everyday carry. The two-piece collar is a handcrafted design touch, while the square back yoke offers ease of movement in tight spots.

Contrast stitching and reinforced pockets meet the moment in matters of form and function, while the Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt just so happens to come in a handsome, neutral shade of olive you can style with everything from dark tan canvas work pants to light wash or dark blue denim, or even black jeans alongside burnished Chelsea boots at a dive bar (post-rock show, of course).

Yes indeed, the durably crafted, rugged Line of Trade Mason Utility Shirt checks the proper boxes when it comes to spring style essentials and the right mix of utility and great looks. Don’t forget about that discount opportunity either, my friends. Cheers to early spring!

Style Pick of the Week: Line of Trade Harbor Shawl Sweater – A Classic Winter Weekend Cardigan

Best shawl cardigans for men.

It’s hard not to admire modern brands that have a healthy respect for the classics, brands that know the in’s and out’s of a sturdy flannel shirt, a durable pair of work pants, a hard-working denim overshirt or the cozy, utterly classic nature of one of the best shawl cardigans.

Trusted by icons like Steve McQueen and Daniel Craig over the years — as you’ll well know if you’ve read this Brooklyn style blog for some time — the shawl cardigan lends more depth to the button-front sweater: It’s thick, it’s cozy, it’s just plain… cool. And my friends, the good folks at Line of Trade — as you might recognize from the pages of this Web site — have a new, stylish men’s cardigan worthy of your consideration.

Although they’re a relatively recent entry into the modern menswear canon, Line of Trade fits the bill when it comes to putting its own twist on Americana must-haves — including the fast-selling Line of Trade Harbor Shawl Sweater pictured above.

Find your new favorite sweater ASAP

It’s the kind of sweater practically begging to be worn on brisk winter weekends, on cozy days and nights in front of a fire, or else worn alongside a trusted Oxford shirt as you contemplate what sort of bourbon you’d like in your Old Fashioned. The Line of Trade Harbor Shawl Sweater gets the details right, and then some, from the thick fold-over collar — meant to protect your neck from blustery winter winds — to the textured seed-stitch knit for added warmth and visual appeal.

Check another box for the impressively crafted Line of Trade Harbor Shawl Sweater, because even the faux horn buttons look impressive for a sub-$100 sweater. As the brand (once owned by our friends at Bespoke Post) says, “heritage nautical details combine in a cardigan sweater that yearns for the high seas.”

Especially in a rich shade of olive, it’s an apt pairing with everything from a faded denim shirt and black jeans to a crisp white Oxford shirt and dark, rust-hued chinos.

Best winter cardigans for men.

It’s a vision for the future that’s attractive and geared toward adventure, as many of the best menswear essentials happen to be, and a taste of the good life — in matters of style and ruggedly good looks — can be yours (for an affordable price!) with the Line of Trade Harbor Shawl Sweater.

The Sunday Sale: Save 30 Percent on these Rugged Everyday Men’s Pants from Line of Trade

Finding the best deals on the best men’s gear, and then passing those savings onto customers who appreciate small craft brands and the work they do, is something of a specialty for the good folks at Bespoke Post. And it’s that passion for craft that led them to start Line of Trade — it’s a brand rooted in Americana and classically rugged styles, like the best work pants for men.

But here’s the catch: Although Line of Trade is its own brand entirely now (as you’ve seen from Line of Trade reviews here on this Brooklyn style blog), you can still score some standout savings back at its old parent company: Bespoke Post, of course.

And that brings us to the Line of Trade Foundry Pants, a durable and tough-as-nails pair of canvas pants that just so happen to be, well, highly stylish. Add in the fact that the Line of Trade Foundry Pants are on sale now at Bespoke Post for 30 percent off, and we’re in business.

That sense of style merged with craftsmanship is always nice to have in a pair of the best everyday pants, which boast the same five-pocket construction as your favorite jeans — yet with the sturdiness of a pair of 9oz. canvas work pants.

Yes, they’re likely more fit for work than play, so to speak, but the hard-working nature of the Line of Trade Foundry Pants extends far past brisk mornings in the garage or out in the field. Double-needle stitching at key stress points gives them true workwear appeal, while its pockets are built for utility and ample storage space.

The Line of Trade Foundry Pants also happen to be heavily garment-washed — that gives them a broken-in feel and easy wearability right out of the box, unlike other pairs of canvas work pants, which can come off as stiff and uncomfortable until worn repeatedly. Helpfully, the bottom hem can be rolled up for added mobility and a more secure fit, further bolstering the “everything-but-the-kitchen-sink” nature of these trusty work pants.

Best denim shirts for men.

As the year starts to ramp up in earnest — starting today for many of us, naturally — there’s something to be said for continuing to lean on reliable menswear classics (with a modern twist!) as you sort through the daily grind.

Or rather, as you look to bolster your menswear wardrobe in the new year — while fashion trends and runway shows are worth keeping an eye on at times, the tried-and-true classics stay that way for a reason (as I often say here at this Brooklyn style blog). And there’s not much that’s more classically rugged and eternally cool than the denim shirt, particularly when it’s made by upstart menswear brand Line of Trade.

The company, founded by the team behind Bespoke Post, has a vision encompassing timeless Americana staples, one that covers everything from workwear to thickly knit sweaters, sturdy T-shirts, rock-solid chinos and the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt.

Super-soft yet strong flannel shirts and shirt jackets also encompass the impressive Line of Trade menswear rotation, and the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket just might be one of the best jackets for men you can buy now — but let’s get back to essential denim shirting, shall we?

The denim shirt as a time-honored style boasts sturdy workwear heritage, with the ability to fight back against dust, dirt and grime, and even in the year 2025, the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt carries on that same heritage.

Best denim shirts for men.

As Line of Trade notes, the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt, with its expertly washed and broken-in 3-year fade and 6 oz. cotton denim build, is a “hardy denim shirt worthy of its heritage,” with the chops to be dressed up ever so slightly with tan chinos, or dressed down with black jeans.

The contrasting double-needle gold thread stitching is a stylish touch alongside the perfectly faded build, while a workwear button chest pocket drives home the utility of the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt. Helpfully, the cut of the shirt is perfect to wear tucked in (alongside stretch chinos at the office) or untucked as you layer it over a thermal henley this winter.

For a denim shirt that clocks in at well below $100, one that delivers all the versatility and classic workwear vibes it can muster, the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt is a prime selection to kick of 2025 in earnest.

See Now, Buy Now: This Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket Is one of the Best Winter Jackets for Your Wardrobe

Just when you thought you had your winter outerwear rotation squared away in fine form, one of the best new winter jackets rolls onto the scene to shake things up. It’s not just any old jacket — it’s a rugged trucker jacket from Bespoke Post and Line of Trade that should command your attention in frosty temperatures.

It could very well be one of the best trucker jackets on the market, a reliably durable and casual change of pace for when you want to swap out your winter parka for something with more mobility and more detail in mind.

The Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket hits the nail on the head in that regard, neither sacrificing comfort nor warmth in the pursuit of seasonal style. And just ahead of the holiday season, this stylish trucker jacket for men could be a rather wise last-minute gift purchase — the specs, as you’ll see below, are on-point.

Best waxed trucker jackets for men.

Bespoke Post knows a thing or two about hidden gems and about timeless classics in your menswear wardrobe, and the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket qualifies in every which way. It’s built with 100 percent cotton on the exterior that’s then finished with a hard-wearing wax, the kind of fabrication that develops a handsome patina over time.

But in my experience, it’s really the heavyweight cotton plaid flannel lining that takes the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket up a notch (Think: A thicker lining than the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, without overdoing it).

Oversized hip patch pockets and a classic pointed chest pocket drive home the ranch jacket detailing, while brass shank buttons offer maximum utility and dependability. Five color options, from Field Tan to Surplus Olive, provide style options for every taste, and it doesn’t hurt that the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket is priced more than fairly at $158.

While it’s certainly not as blizzard-ready as a thick parka, it can serve as a useful, stylish go-between for tailgates, days in the yard or the field, and evenings at your favorite dive bar — I know that’s where I’ll be wearing my Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket, and I’d encourage you to do the same. Cheers to the season, my friends!

The Tuesday Steal: Save More Than 30 Percent on this Handsome Bespoke Post Sweater

Bespoke Post Line of Trade review.

We’ve talked a lot lately here on this seasonal style blog about the best way for guys to dress for the holidays, and if you feel like you’re running out of time to shore up a few seasonal ‘fits, you’re certainly in luck.

That’s because our friends at Bespoke Post are here to save the day with some standout savings on one of the best sweaters for men, all just a few clicks away at the Bespoke Post Sale section.

As you might have guessed from the top of the page, it’s prime time for seasonal layering in all its many forms, including the chance to shake up your regular rotation of office-ready V-neck sweaters, casual crewneck sweaters and even refined-yet-rugged shawl cardigans.

The Line of Trade Bergen Birdseye Sweater does all of this and then some, retaining the versatile hallmarks of the V-neck, the eye-catching appeal of the cardigan (thanks to its birdseye pattern) and the wear-with-anything appeal of the crewneck. And crucially, it does all this while being more than 40 percent off (in select sizes) as of press time. How’s that for seasonal savings you can count on, ehh?

Billed by Line of Trade, the in-house brand at Bespoke Post, as a “modern crewneck with old-school roots,” the sweater’s cotton-blend build should make it more than adequate for comfortable layering, while the jacquard pattern boasts old-school roots.

It’s simple, subtle and stylish, as wearable underneath a waxed trucker jacket as it is on its own with an Oxford shirt underneath — Old Fashioned in hand, of course. That sounds like more than a fair way to amp up your holiday sweater rotation in style right now, my friends. Cheers to that!

Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt review.

If today’s headline made you do a double take, you’re likely not alone: We’re talking all about Line of Trade, but in a different capacity than before.

That focus on American classics — from slinging T-shirts and flannel shirts to selling cool-as-heck valet trays, decanters and more — led the Bespoke Post team to form Line of Trade, and it’s now all grown up, so to speak.

You see, you can score rugged, classically cool menswear online right from the brand itself, a great excuse to revamp and re-up your winter wardrobe — starting with the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt. Yes indeed, it’s great a time as any to get properly acquainted with the rugged, all-American retailer.

Line of Trade menswear review.

The company believes in menswear that’s built to last, not in chasing trends, and you can see that reflected right away in products like the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, plus a full lineup of best-sellers. Those best-selling menswear essentials include items like trucker jackets, sherpa jackets, heavyweight T-shirts and even a versatile pair of officer chinos modeled after old-school military pairs.

The great news is, the richly crafted Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt fits right in with each of those men’s style must-haves, especially in the cold climes of winter. The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, made from an exclusive pattern in super-soft, 100 percent cotton flannel, is a prized piece in my own wardrobe.

In one of several richly crafted patterns and colors, it’s got the ability to be worn on its own underneath a soft-shouldered blazer, or else atop a thermal henley. That pairing works well alongside, say, one of the brand’s waxed trucker jackets. It’s got a pleasing light weight to it — this isn’t a shirt jacket, but a flannel shirt you can layer comfortably beneath a hearty top layer.

A left chest patch pocket keeps things classic, while the length is perfect to wear untucked alongside your favorite pair of blue jeans (as I often do). If you’ve been hunting for a new favorite flannel shirt, one you can layer casually or dress up ever so slightly, and one that you can buy in bulk, so to speak, then I can confidently say the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is your best bet this week.

Made from 100 percent cotton in a variety of versatile colors, it’s the type of piece that simply looks great any way you style it, in any season at all. The choice is yours as to which option you opt for, be it a rich Coffee Herringbone hue or a deep indigo variety, another personal favorite.
