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.

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!

See Now, Buy Now: This Line of Trade Flannel Shirt is Perfect for Every Winter Pursuit

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. You very likely recognize Line of Trade from the digital shelves of NYC retailer Bespoke Post, which trumpets small businesses, stylish subscription boxes of its own, and the coolest gear for men across the board.

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.

Inspired by classic workwear styles, the Line of Trade Frank Shirt is the sort of shirt you can reach for any day of the week, one that’s able to pair with everything from classic denim to expertly cut chinos. It doesn’t hurt that its build is tailored and crisp yet easy to wear — it’s not a more formal dress shirt, yet it’s more polished than a polo, for instance.

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.

Again, either variety of the Line of Trade Frank Shirt wears especially well at the office, on the weekend and every day in between. It toes the line between formal and casual in expert fashion, which in my experience is always something great to have in your closet.

The Thursday Buy: Wear This Lightweight Bespoke Post Shirt All Summer Long

Best linen shirts for summer

Alright, folks. You know the drill. It’s a hot one out there. Like, ridiculously hot, and as we head into the Fourth of July and the rest of summer, you need one of the best men’s shirts. To be more specific, you need this breezy and lightweight linen shirt from Bespoke Post. If you’ve read the blog over the years, you know that Bespoke Post makes some of the best men’s style essentials for any time of year at all, but that rings particularly true when you consider the in-house Bespoke Post brand Line Of Trade. We have Line Of Trade to thank for the Zephyr Linen Shirt, one of the best lightweight shirts to wear when it’s simply too hot to wear much of anything else.

Thankfully, the team at Line Of Trade has come up with one heck of a warm-weather solution in the Zephyr Linen Shirt, and it’s here not a moment too soon as we power through hot summer days and nights. With more polish than a T-shirt and just a bit more buttoned-up versatility than a polo (wear this Zephyr Linen Shirt under a blazer to the office), it’s a winner all the way through.

SHOP: The Zephyr Linen Shirt from Bespoke Post

It’s helpfully available in six cool, breezy and fun patterns, but it’s the lightweight fabric that makes this a surefire bet for that overheated summer BBQ or patio happy hour hang. Heck, as fun as those outings can be, you still need one of the best shirts for men to clean things up with some polish in mind. Again, that’s where the Line Of Trade Zephyr Linen Shirt enters the fray (and your wardrobe, for that matter).

Made with a cotton-linen blend, the good folks at Bespoke Post have really thrown everything they’ve got at this shirt. It features mother-of-pearl buttons and neat pattern options like a fittingly summer-inspired Indigo Stripe, but it’s that crucial, breezy fabric blend that really gets me. Oh, and it goes without saying (nearly) that the price on the Line Of Trade Zephyr Linen Shirt is something else: It retails for $60 at Bespoke Post. That’s a deal so essential that you’d almost have to be crazy not to stock up on multiple colorways of the Line Of Trade Zephyr Linen Shirt. You can then wear that shirt with linen trousers, with light wash denim or with canvas shorts from Buck Mason, all without missing a beat this season. Lightweight, stylish relief is in sight: Stock up accordingly with your new favorite shirt top of mind.

Style Pick of the Week: Line of Trade Portland Rain Jacket

Line of Trade, Portland Rain Jacket

Simple on the surface, but highly functional and ready for spring elsewhere.

If you’re not familiar with the pleasingly rugged, classic outerwear, shirting and gear from Line of Trade at Bespoke Post, it’s high time indeed that you got very, very familiar. They consistently make, among other categories, some of the best jackets for men in any season, and that holds true with the Line of Trade Portland Rain Jacket. As ever, Bespoke Post assuredly knows what it’s doing with this in-house brand, and the result is one of the best spring rain jackets you’re going to layer up with for the weeks ahead — in short, don’t delay! But let’s get into what makes it so special, shall we? Allow me to tell you why this is one heck of a must-buy rain jacket for men. First off, you can get this jacket as a standalone style favorite, or you can pick up the Bespoke Post Downpour Box, one of the latest and greatest monthly subscription boxes from the NYC-based retailer (one of my favorite online retailers, I should add). So it’s got both affordability and ease of access going for it, and that’s not to be overlooked these days. Naturally, the Line of Trade Portland Rain Jacket also checks all the right boxes in terms of style and utility (more on both in a moment).

Line of Trade Portland Rain Jacket reviews

Classic, crisp and functional — everything you could ask for in the best men’s spring rain jacket, right?

It’s got all the specs you could ever ask for in your new favorite rain jacket, including the fact that it’s lightweight and yet durable, so it’ll protect you from rain on the go without weighing you down. The Line of Trade Portland Rain Jacket features a cotton shell with a DWR, or durable water repellent, coating for maximum water resistance. The fact that it’s built with three layers of fabric and a 5K waterproof rating is also critical. In short, it packs in a lot of functionality (including taped seams to keep water out) into a subtle and stylish package. The storm flap front closure also manages to keep water out, and the duckbill hood is a very nice touch in the midst of the worst spring rains possible. When you want a jacket for a downright steal ($45 via the Bespoke Post Downpour Box or just $100 on its own), it’s very clear that you want the Line of Trade Portland Rain Jacket.
