See Now, Buy Now: The Proof Rover Pants are As Versatile and Travel-Ready As It Gets

It can be tough to find a pair of the best men’s pants that really, truly suit all your style needs and daily pursuits. Is there a pair of pants that checks every box, from work to play, from the office to the farmer’s market to a park stroll… and back? That’s a high bar to clear, but the Proof Rover Pants from my friends at Huckberry just might fit the bill.

Shop the best gear for men at Huckberry

Now, it’s not the first time I’ve reviewed the Proof Rover Pants, but I think you’ll find the latest and greatest rugged yet stylish pair of pants are even more improved than ever.

They blend the durable appeal of a pair of stretch canvas work pants with the five-pocket cut of jeans, and while they’re a touch more rugged than, say, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, they’re no less versatile for the demands of your daily grind. A guy’s wardrobe demands options, after all, be it the reliability of dark blue jeans at the office or happy hour, or the crisp cut of stretch cotton chinos or, yes, the do-it-all nature of the Proof Rover Pants.

The key with the latest iteration of the Proof Rover Pants? It starts with the use of a breathable, durable engineered cotton-blend fabric that moves with you and incorporates sustainable REPREVE TruTemp stretch polyester fabric. In my experience, that gives the Proof Rover Pants the right amount of stretch and breathability, which just might make them the best travel pants — as well as the best, polished and durable adventure pants.

If you’ve tried the Proof Rover Pants before, as I have, just know that they feel softer and more stretchy to the touch, and they’re lightweight without being flimsy, as well.

The Proof Rover Pants also have the right amount of stretch and style points to look ready and stylish enough for a more casual office, with three streamlined fit options (Slim, Straight and Athletic Tapered) adding to their versatile appeal. In my experience, the Athletic Tapered cut provides a nice amount of room to move for my frame.

Shop men’s pants and more at Huckberry

And with the Proof Rover Pants — no matter if you’re scaling mountains or hopping on a flight — you’re getting versatile, rich color options (three, to be exact), which you can also pair seamlessly with other pieces of the best travel gear from Proof at Huckberry. Too good to be true? Certainly not, which is why a pair or two belong in your wardrobe ASAP.

The Friday Read: Heading West with Stranahan’s Whiskey

My friends, thanks for passing through The Style Guide as we launch headfirst into another winter weekend. We’re past the hustle and bustle of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, but the pursuit is still a fast one when it comes to shopping for the best gifts for men (and for everyone on your list). I’ll have two new product recommendations of my own coming up this weekend, but I’m focused first and foremost on yet another whiskey-focused freelance writing trip.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Beau Hayhoe (@beauhayhoe)

If you follow me on Instagram or keep up with my many freelance writing pursuits, you’ll see I’ve had the exciting post-pandemic opportunity to dive headfirst into the industry, writing about everything from luxury Scotch to the best American bourbon and more. It’s a passion of mine alongside covering essentials like the best leather boots and the best men’s flannel shirts, of course.

And that passion extends to covering distilleries both old and new, traditional and innovative, like Stranahan’s American Single Malt Whiskey. That’s where this coming weekend will find me, as I trek to cold and snowy Denver for what should prove an epic weekend: It’s the annual release of the ultra-exclusive, distillery-only Stranahan’s Snowflake Whiskey, accompanied by a festival and lots of fanfare (and yes, great whiskey all around). To say I’m excited is likely an understatement!

Learn more at Stranahan’s

I’m also excited to spend time with Stranahan’s first-ever Head Blender, Justin Aden — the whiskey veteran just so happens to be a fellow graduate of my beloved Michigan State University, and that’s about as cool as it gets, if you ask me.

In the meantime, I’ll be bundled up with some of the best winter menswear in tow, and I’ll be sharing full details over on my Instagram. How’s that for a winter weekend? Stay warm, stay stylish and we’ll see you for tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week. Thanks as always, my friends!

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Merino Tee is the Best Men’s Tee to Wear As It Warms Up

When done right, as it turns out, the best men’s basics are actually so much more than basic — this, I hope you know if you read this blog on the regular. Perhaps reading this site over the years has even turned you into a fan of venerable San Fran retailer Taylor Stitch, one of my favorite menswear brands and a company that excels at turning the basics into, well, so much more than basic. Take the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee you see above. Like the different-than-ordinary workwear style of the Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket, or the uncommonly rugged shawl cardigan sweater from the brand, this merino T-shirt is so much more than meets the eye.

Merino in and of itself is a standout fabric to have in your wardrobe, especially in layers close to the skin — merino wicks away moisture, fights odor and bacteria and generally feels comfortable as heck. And over the years, that’s been my experience with pieces like the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee. I hope you’ll agree, but take a look for yourself below as we keep things rolling.

Shop Taylor Stitch knitwear

The brand also stocks heavier tees made from more substantial cotton-blend fabrics (like the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Tee), but as a base layer for commuting, hiking, grabbing beers or beating the heat in a shady park, the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee also excels as one of the best T-shirts for men — period.

To get technical, the magic in this stylish merino T-shirt comes from the superfine 18.5-micron mercerized Merino wool, blended with Lycra for stretch. Without getting too technical, though, the mercerization process makes the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee super-soft, and it helps that the fabric has a nice, visually interesting texture. When you’re wearing the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee, it looks like a T-shirt made to be worn on its own — not an undershirt, for instance. For as rugged and essential as the Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag line of knitwear can be, the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee is another standout option to add to your basics drawer.

Find your new favorite T-shirt

It’s also helpful that the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee comes in a range of neutral colors, since this T-shirt is so soft and moisture-wicking, you’ll be able to wear it repeatedly (provided it’s not overused as a workout tee, for instance). The Heather Grey color of the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee pairs well with plenty of style moves in your spring wardrobe, be it olive chinos and your favorite chukka boots or khaki shorts and canvas sneakers.

Wear it casually with light wash jeans and a stylish military jacket, or take it for a spin beneath an ultra-lightweight, unlined blazer at the office. You’ll find plenty of ways to wear a tee as comfortable as the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee, and your wardrobe is all the better for it. Keep in mind it’s much pricier than a pack of cotton tees (the Taylor Stitch Merino Tee will set you back $68), but once you try this thing on, it becomes all the more worth it.

See Now, Buy Now: This Refined Todd Snyder Peacoat Is a Seasonal Style Splurge

There are plenty of ways to outfit yourself for chilly winter weather, but there’s hardly one more classic, refined and yet modern than wearing one of the best men’s peacoats. In fact, although it’s a sharp style move for guys everywhere these days, the iconic peacoat — like the frankly incredible Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat shown above — has humble beginnings on the high seas, worn by naval officers to keep them warm in adverse conditions. The peacoat is a reliable style move in much the same way today, but the catch is this: You can find one of the best peacoats for men online and have it heading to your doorstep in mere minutes. This particular peacoat is coming your way courtesy of one of the country’s best menswear designers, with all the specs and style points you might expect. Todd Snyder himself has a deep knowledge of menswear history and style, and frequently references classics like the peacoat, the crewneck sweatshirt, the flannel shirt and more.

Shop Todd Snyder’s bestsellers

What does it all mean to you? It means that the remarkable Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is the right outerwear choice now, while winter continues to stick around. This peacoat is utterly classic in every way, made from super warm wool with 10 percent cashmere, a bit more elegant than the peacoats worn on ship decks — but no less warm.

The Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat features a classic six-button, double-breasted design, the better to keep out weather and wind. Chest handwarmer pockets are crucial if you’re not on the high seas, while the collar itself can be flipped up to block wind. Yes indeed, the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is modeled after the best of ’em, with the price tag to match (it’s $898 at Todd Snyder — this is the last peacoat you’re going to need to buy for a while). The length on the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is cut to hit at the top of your thighs, so you can wear it over a Todd Snyder flannel shirt for an extra-warm winter layering ensemble.

You can — and should — style this durable, classic peacoat over a throwback crewneck sweatshirt for more laidback weekend outings, too (it’s kind of like the Billy Reid Bond Peacoat, in that regard). Any which way you wear it, but especially with tailored dress trousers and a timeless cardigan, the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is going to keep you warm in utterly classic style. I can’t think of a better way to get dressed for winter than that.
