One of the most dependable and sustainable shirt jackets out there.

It’s deals like this one that make the Sunday Sale weekly edition go round and round, and this shirt jacket in particular is done up in a way that makes it mighty tough to pass by. It’s got all the right bells and whistles going for it, starting with its functionality — the kind you’d expect from Patagonia. To wit: We’re talking windproof and weather-resistant fabric for long days on the trail, plus filling made from 100 percent recycled down. Patagonia takes extreme responsibility at every step of the supply chain, so that’s another encouraging component of this stylish shirt jacket, too.

SHOP: The Patagonia Silent Down Shirt Jacket

Style Pick of the Week: FRYE Bowery Moc Lace Up Boots

Tough, durable boots that come through in matters of performance and style.

Given that we’ve hit mid-November and blustery fall weather is rolling through in force these days (well, for most of us, that is!), finding a pair of the best men’s boots has never been more critical. And now, you’ve got one way to go thanks to today’s Style Pick of the Week, and that’s with the perfectly rugged, expertly crafted FRYE Bowery Moc Lace Up Boots, some of the best boots for men to get on your feet ASAP. If you’ve read the blog on the regular, you know that FRYE men’s boots take the cake when it comes to quality and craftsmanship, to say the very least (check out my write-up on the best sales on men’s boots at FRYE for more, as but one example). Heck, the FRYE Bowery Moc Lace Up Boots stand apart from even the rest of the FRYE arsenal when it comes to durability, rugged appeal and great looks. For the holiday season, when dressing occasions run the gamut from navigating slippery driveways or slippery brewery parking lots, the best boots will assuredly come in handy — these have a leather storm welt and tough construction, to boot (pun intended).

SHOP: The FRYE Bowery Moc Lace Up Boots

High-quality leather and stitching for an excellent look and feel from FRYE.

The full sponge EVA outsole offers comfort and a springy feel, a rarity among some leather boots, and yet another great reason to give the FRYE Bowery Moc Lace Up Boots a serious shot this season. The difference really is in the details when it comes to the best men’s boots, and these certainly check all the right boxes. While the moc toe construction is definitely rugged, these are still the type of boots to wear with everything from tan chinos and a white Oxford shirt for a holiday gathering, to dark denim and a classic henley on a winter weekend. The FRYE Bowery Moc Lace Up Boots will also age handsomely over time, and that’s an investment that’ll certainly pay off, seeing as they retail for $358 at FRYE. The best boots for guys certainly don’t come cheap, but with FRYE, you can rest assured that they’re worth it.

See Now, Buy Now: Pick up the Best Fall Weekend Shoes from Minnetonka at UNCRATE

Cool, classic driving shoes (or slippers) you’ll want to wear for every fall weekend, holidays included.

What’s been on your style wish list lately? Perhaps as colder weather rolls in, you’ve got your mind on some of the best slippers for men — along with, say, a roaring fireplace, a favorite book and a nice cup of coffee. Look no further than UNCRATE for some of the best men’s slippers, because the lauded gear retailer is giving you a mighty fine chance to pick up the perfect pair: The Minnetonka Classic Driving Shoes. If you’ve ready any of my picks for the best fall gear, you assuredly know Minnetonka, so let’s get even more acquainted. Part slipper to wear with socks or barefoot, and of course, part driving shoe — apt for both casual weekends at home and on the road — these classic men’s slippers are the rare two-for-one shoe. In my estimation that means they look great with your feet kicked up and out and about. Throw ’em on for quick fall jaunts or trips over the river and through the woods for the holidays (stay safe!), or else slip into the Minnetonka Classic Driving Shoes to pad around the house, pick up some more firewood or put a favorite record on your new record player. You can’t beat that kind of versatility, or those cool, classic style points.

SHOP: The Minnetonka Classic Driving Shoes via UNCRATE

A sleek profile and solid good looks make these worthy of picking up this fall.

And the great thing about some of the best men’s slippers is that you’ll get plenty of wear out of ’em with casual men’s style picks for fall. Got a favorite pair of faded denim and a classic crewneck sweatshirt? Trot out the Minnetonka Classic Driving Shoes. Fancy wearing something like olive chinos, a chambray shirt and a shawl cardigan to a casual (and small!) holiday gathering? The Minnetonka Classic Driving Shoes will work there, too. And naturally, if you just feel like hanging out wearing some of the best lounge pants and your favorite henley, these stylish leather slippers are going to keep you comfortable while also keeping you at the ready to restock that firewood. You can’t top that, can you now? Plus, they retail for under $70 at UNCRATE, and that’s a deal you can appreciate this season.

If it’s Sunday, which it is, it must be time for another Sunday Sale, and crucially, another Sunday Sale featuring Todd Snyder.

A classic watch for daily wear in these casual times.

It certainly makes sense that it’s a hot-selling item, because now, you can get your new favorite watch for 30 percent off (31 percent, in fact), dropping its price tag below $100 to a very easygoing $94 in total. How’s that for adding to your watch collection in time for the transition from fall to winter? Not bad, ehh? It’s got all the proper bells and whistles you need in an affordable casual watch, from the military-inspired design and rugged NATO strap to the fact that it’s got all the durability you’d expect from a Timex watch. It’s the kind of watch you can easily wear with a Todd Snyder crewneck sweatshirt and your favorite pair of blue jeans, and you can also rock it with a classic Oxford shirt, a shawl cardigan and black denim for a bit of everyday fall and winter style. If that sounds like it checks all the right boxes for you, hurry up and get a great deal on one of the best watches for men ASAP.

The Friday Read: USA-Made Boots from FRYE, Faherty Gives Back & A New Bespoke Post Jacket

The coolest denim jacket for a fall weekend — or a winter weekend.

Folks, I’m here to tell you as we kick off today’s Friday Read that I think I’ve found it. What exactly is it? Well, it’s nothing less than the best denim jacket for fall and winter, the Line of Trade Montana Winterized Denim Trucker Jacket, a standout new addition to the Bespoke Post Web site that you should shop ASAP. As it were, I’m going to be reviewing this Line of Trade denim jacket very soon, and in fact, I had the chance to check it out virtually via Zoom as part of the Bespoke Post Holiday Preview last week (the days of menswear events are far off in the future, sadly!). The great news is, this jacket is available right now in advance of colder weather. And let me tell you this: Right now won’t be the last you hear of this stellar denim jacket, and you can even spot it in an upcoming #OOTD post on this very site in the weeks ahead. Stay tuned, folks.

In the meantime, today’s Friday Read is packed with a heck of a lot of the best gear for fall, so I know you’ll find picks aplenty in the meantime. As for me, I’m going to stay busy this weekend working on my newsletter — The Style Guide In Brief — and you should be sure to subscribe if you want a twice-weekly (Tuesday and Saturday!) dose of menswear, gear, craft beer & naturally, indie rock. It’s all in a day’s work, folks. If you want more seasonal style content, be sure to check out my bylines at Maxim and GearMoose, too. For now, I’m off to take a fall stroll in search of a classic fall beer — and lest we forget, my beloved Michigan State Spartans return (safely, I hope!) to the college football gridiron this weekend. Go Green! It’s the theme of the weekend, after all. Here’s the rest of the Friday Read below.

Perfectly rugged boots that also go towards a good cause.

Here’s some great news for you if you like your purchases to give back AND look great at the same time. FRYE, the brand you know and love from this blog (and elsewhere!), is donating $10 to Feeding America for every pair of Made in USA shoes sold in October. My favorite styles include picks like the rugged-yet-ever-so-slightly-dressy Logan Cap Toe Boots and the tough-as-nails FRYE Prison Boots for all-day style this fall and winter. They’re both investment-level boots, but assuredly worth it — for both style and a good cause.

More stylish menswear that gives back, thanks to Faherty.

But wait, there’s more when it comes to giving back and looking great while doing so. Faherty Brand, a personal favorite of mine for classic pieces like the Faherty Legend Sweater Shirt as seen above, is donating 100 percent of proceeds from indigenous-inspired print menswear to Doug Good Feather’s Lakota Way Healing Center — how’s that for a deal you can get behind this season, ehh?
Let’s ease into a fall weekend with a perfectly crafted seasonal sipper, shall we? I’ve recently been testing out Spiribam’s Clement Barrel Rhum, a longstanding Caribbean rum favorite you can enjoy in simple rum cocktails or better yet, as an after-dinner sipper. Of course, there’s good news: You can get some of fall’s best rum delivered to you via alcohol delivery service Drizly.
We’ve talked spirits, we’ve talked menswear, we’ve talked boots … let’s talk about men’s grooming essentials.

The Sunday Sale: Take 30 Percent Off This Classic Todd Snyder x Champion Sweatshirt

Score a great deal on a classic crewneck sweatshirt for a top NYC designer.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another edition of The Sunday Sale, where we dive into one great menswear deal (or deals) on everything from the best boots for fall to a cool jacket worn by James Bond, and all available at excellent discounts. Today’s pick is no less special or essential, seeing as it’s a stone-cold fall classic from Todd Snyder that you need in your wardrobe right now. That’s right: The Todd Snyder x Champion Pocket Sweatshirt is here just in time for blustery weather, and it’s available for just about 30 percent off right now. The Todd Snyder x Champion line has been a longtime favorite of the blog, going back years, and it’s a rarity to see it on sale like this. If you read my piece on the best Todd Snyder sale picks earlier this summer, you know that you’ve got to look far and wide to get discounts on the famed NYC menswear designer’s gear, and the Todd Snyder x Champion Pocket Sweatshirt is now a downright steal in that regard. How about that, ehh?

SHOP: The Todd Snyder x Champion Pocket Sweatshirt

Just one of a few colors in which you can get this iconic sweatshirt.

As it were, the Todd Snyder x Champion Pocket Sweatshirt is quite simply one of the best sweatshirts for fall, featuring a heavyweight fabric blend, a neat and retro-inspired design, and of course, a range of cool, versatile color options to pair with style staples like Todd Snyder denim and classic leather boots. This stylish crewneck sweatshirt is available in classic colors like Navy, as well as the Salt and Pepper blend that happens to be my personal favorite.

It’s the kind of crewneck sweatshirt you can wear in a business casual way (atop a white Oxford shirt with tan chinos) or much more casually (with faded blue jeans and beat-up high-top sneakers. In short: There’s not another crewneck sweatshirt on the market like the Todd Snyder x Champion Pocket Sweatshirt, and that makes it an essential Sunday Sale pick-up.
