The Thursday Buy: Add a Winning Layer for Shoulder Season with this Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket

Relwen men's jacket review.

There’s plenty to look forward to across autumn: The delightful fall foliage, the comfort of a roaring bonfire, a crisp, cool morning breeze accented by a treasured cup of joe.

What can you wear to take on all of those pursuits and then some, carrying you with style and functionality from point A to point B and parts unknown? One of the best, most rugged fall jackets should pass muster, an especially apt addition to your wardrobe if you value utility, military heritage and modern style — of course, that’s where Huckberry comes into play.

Shop new seasonal gear right now at Huckberry

Perhaps you know where I’m going with this one, as Huckberry fan favorite Relwen delivers the goods in impeccable fashion once again this shoulder season. And its the Huckberry-exclusive edition of the Relwen Quilted Thermal Tanker that claims the top prize today on this menswear blog, drawing on decades of past inspiration while using modern fabrication for hard-wearing appeal, my friends.

You’ll find it on full display in all its glory within the Huckberry Fall Style section at the moment (alongside other must-haves like a trusty Shinola watch, versatile Flint and Tinder selvedge denim and hard-working Rhodes Footwear boots). All make for a fine fall #OOTD, particularly a jacket inspired by tough-as-nails styles worn by armored vehicle crews in World War II, as Huckberry notes.

The brand updated the fit, exterior fabric and padded insulation on this new version of the Relwen Quilted Thermal Tanker, which also features a highly appealing autumnal Dark Brown color, accented by visually appealing camo-patterned insulation.

Details like an oversized chest zipper pocket, plus front side seam hand pockets and a right chest pocket flap-snap pocket, bolster the plentiful everyday carry utility of one of the best fall jackets for men. Its use of black oxidized copper-plated brass snap hardware for a snap-front closure is mighty useful, at least in my experience, while its zipper is finished off with a leather pull tab for a dash of utility and eye-catching good looks.

Yessir, did Huckberry and Relwen think of everything — or, seemingly everything — in designing the Relwen Quilted Thermal Tanker? Color me impressed, I’d say, as wrist snaps finish things off for a perfectly tailored, customizable fit.

The only thing better might be layering up with a Relwen thermal shirt or long-sleeve polo, both options which work as seamlessly at the beer bar as they do on the road or on a cabin front porch. You’ve got options in spades thanks to the Huckberry fall gear lineup on deck right now, this handsome Relwen jacket very much included — as ever, we’ll see you out there, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Utility Workshirt Is a Trusted Daily Fall Style Essential from Huckberry

Best workshirts for men to wear this fall.

Let the debate rage on as to what’s the most crucial in your next fall #OOTD, especially one centered around rugged workwear and the great outdoors — or a mix of both. Is it the pair of boots you lace up, or the canvas work pants or blue jeans you step into? Or is it the humble yet hard-working shirt on your top half?

Of course, the proper answer as far as the best fall style essentials are concerned is that it comes down to a mix of both, so why not go all-out in a quest for the best gear for fall, ehh? Take the quilted overshirt above — a crucial part of any outdoor excursion, and then consider an alternative in a softer yet no less useful fabric.

That’s where Huckberry can certainly help, as you well know from years of experience reading about and shopping through one of the best online menswear shops for guys — that’s what brings us around town today, as well.

Huckberry has a knack for scouring the market and then finding (and selling) some of the coolest gear and garb around, as we all tend to know here at The Style Guide — the Relwen Soft Brushed Workshirt now makes a reappearance in time for peak shoulder season, and it arrives not a moment too soon in a helpful array of richly crafted colors, with eye-catching design details, to boot.

Just like the company’s military-inspired field jackets and chinos, there’s a blend of form and function right at the forefront of the Relwen Soft Brushed Workshirt — depending on the color or pattern you select, you’re getting a blend of both soft-pile cotton and spandex for stretch, comfort and ease of movement.

So while this workshirt isn’t abrasion-resistant in the same manner as waxed cotton, it’s easy enough to layer underneath a waxed trucker jacket or wear all on its own atop a thermal henley (I prefer the Cornmeal Herringbone colorway myself).

Clean-finished felled seams offer seamless construction throughout, while two extra-roomy chest pockets are a critical design move meant for your everyday carry. The pointed flap pockets are even, dare I say it, a point of distinction compared to other workshirts, while the fit is made to layer without proving too baggy or cumbersome.

Four-ply construction reinforces the durability of the Relwen Soft Brushed Workshirt, which should prove as wearable with dark blue denim as with canvas work pants in the fied. If you’ve been on the hunt for an alternative to flannel workshirts, something with a dash more stretch perhaps, then the Relwen Soft Brushed Workshirt is a fine addition to your rotation of fall style essentials, and we’re only getting started this season.

Style Pick of the Week: Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts – Your Solution to Stylish Warm-Weather Looks

Best adventure shorts for men to wear this summer.

How do you prepare to go off-grid in the warmer months? Or rather, how do you prepare for more simple matters in the high heat of summer, when you might be searching more for the best men’s casual style than true off-grid performance?

In fact, how about we kill two birds with one proverbial menswear stone: In some cases, the best shorts for men should be able to do a bit of both, with the mobility and utility to take on cabin weekends and quick trail hikes as easily as they stand in as a casual style move for a backyard BBQ. It sounds nearly impossible, right? Leave it to the good folks at Huckberry to subvert your expectations, my friends.

Where can one find shorts durable enough for the trail without looking overly technical closer to home? The answer just arrived at Huckberry via the Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts, blending the Huckberry-approved brand’s knack for functional durability with classic style and even a dash of military heritage.

They’re called the Supply Shorts for a reason, and let’s find out why as we explore the best shorts for men this season, as this particular pair joins the ranks of the rugged Proof Rover EDC Shorts and other Huckberry classics that blur the lines between laidback fashion and trail-ready reliability.

In fact, the entire Relwen Summer 2026 line touches on throwback classics, like the handsome dress polo or the timeless pocket tee, and freshens them up with vibrant colors, softer fabrics, durable designs and good looks aplenty all around — from the shores of the lake to a cabin bonfire and then some.

The Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts get their good looks and style points from military-inspired utility shorts, complete with back-flap pockets for your everyday carry, plus a longer 9-inch inseam that should suit the taller guys among us quite well (remember, Huckberry also sells its own Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts with shorter inseam options available.

But back to the Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts: The fabric build features 97% cotton and 3% spandex for a touch of mobility, while a gusseted crotch modeled after mountaineering shorts makes it even easier to move around while wearing your new favorite shorts.

Shop your new favorite looks for summer from Relwen and Huckberry

The waistband is even finished with button tabs for a secure-yet-adjustable fit, and I think you’ll find the range of color options pleasing enough for every sense of style, from Scrub Faded Olive to Camo and a crisp Dark Steel. If I were you, I’d find your favorite Relwen polo or pocket tee in a complementary shade to match your new Relwen Super-Fly Supply Shorts, then I’d stock up accordingly for summer.

See Now, Buy Now: The Relwen Sailcloth Tanker Jacket is the Lightweight, Durable Layer You Need to Step into Spring

Well, there you have it, my friends: Just as quickly as we were talking about the best winter menswear and gear for snowstorms aplenty, it seems the switch has flipped (at least in my neck of the woods) towards the best spring menswear and essentials aplenty. It’s funny how that works out, isn’t it? Yes indeed, just as you rely on rugged winter boots, cozy parkas and burly shirt jackets in the colder months, your spring style rotation demands just as much seasonally inclined thought (and a touch of preparation, of course).

Shift things towards lightweight yet rugged, tough gear, especially on the outerwear front — weather-resistant performance, travel-ready style and versatility, and a dash of heritage-inspired good looks ought to do you well indeed, yes?

So, let’s start that preparation with lightweight style and performance in mind, shall we? The good folks at Huckberry are on the case as per tradition — as you well know if you read this Brooklyn style blog — and as new arrivals from the dependable Americana retailer hit the digital shelves of everyone’s favorite menswear and gear store, it’s worth keeping an eye on precisely what you can get your hands on.

And that brings us to today’s featured pick, a newfound favorite from Ohio-based Relwen that’s been given a fresh coat of paint, so to speak, for spring. A longtime favorite of the good folks at Huckberry, Relwen takes its ciues from old-school style staples, particularly those with military roots.

Best lightweight spring jackets for men.

It’s a great starting point for utterly classic, dependable menswear with go-anywhere good looks and plenty of utility, and the Relwen Sailcloth Tanker Jacket (available in four crisp, timeless colors and an eye-catching camo pattern), fits the bill nicely indeed when it comes to merging form and function.

From its field jacket-inspired design to highly useful details like a stand-up collar and a front placket with both snap and zipper closure options, the handsome Relwen Sailcloth Tanker Jacket uses lightweight fabrication for both easy wearability and easy packability (when you’re not wearing it on the road, that is).

The durable Relwen Sailcloth Tanker Jacket gets its rugged appeal from a blend of lightweight cotton and nylon with a water-resistant finish, while Huckberry notes sleeves of the Relwen Sailcloth Tanker Jacket are ergonomically designed for greater ease of movement.

Meanwhile, flap chest pockets and zippered hip pockets provide ever-helpful everyday carry storage space, while Huckberry also rightly notes that the tapered waist expands its “layerable versatility.” How’s that for a go-anywhere, do-anything seasonal jacket? As ever, it would seem that Huckberry has you covered as far as the best spring menswear is concerned.

There’s still one last entry on the calendar to cross off before we move from 2025 into 2026, but it’s never too early — as I’ve said across the past weeks — to start thinking about how your next year will develop in matters of style and substance.

On that note, let’s start things off with a bang — and with style and savings in mind — by poring over the happenings at the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, as prime a way to roll from one year into the next as any.

Shop Huckberry’s year-end sale now through January 1st

If you’ve kept up with the blog as of late, you’ll have found that via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, there’s little that’s not up for grabs at a discount, particularly in matters of winter style (not to mention the perfect blend of cozy comfort and dashing good looks).

There are discounts aplenty on brands that aren’t for sale all that often via Huckberry, but we’ll set our sights on the fan-favorite offerings from Relwen today, a military and heritage-inspired brand with an utterly classic outlook on, well, the classics.

Ohio-based Relwen makes razor-sharp chinos, soft yet rugged flannel shirts, lined flannel shirt jackets and even some cool-as-can-be long-sleeve polos, as well as the famed Relwen Trap Blazer — it’s a streamlined, grab-and-go selection that blends the fierce determination of an old-school hunting jacket with the effortless modern cool of a lightweight blazer, and the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer goes a step further in matters of everyday comfort, fashion and reliability.

As Huckberry sagely notes, the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is “structured like a blazer, soft like a sweatshirt,” this time using a jacquard knit fabric with a smooth interior backing that’s been woven into an utterly soft, stretchy and wildly comfortable take on the classic blazer.

Best winter blazer for men.

The same hallmarks of the modern icon that is the Relwen Trap Blazer remain, like its natural-shouldered build and four-button front finished off with a handy and just-plain-cool throat latch button for added protection from the elements.

Patch front pockets help this casually rugged jacket feel like a patch-pocket blazer, while the utterly soft jersey construction means it feels and wears more like a sweatshirt, which is a major bonus in my book.

So if you’re searching for a more laidback blazer you can throw on over a contrasing T-shirt, a henley or a more rugged chambray shirt with dark blue jeans, then the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is your next menswear ace-in-the-hole.

And of course, via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, it’s on sale now for about 30 percent off. The time is plenty ripe to take stock of new and old menswear favorites: Ensure this handsome men’s blazer is among them this winter.

The Thursday Buy: The Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket is Primed for Layering This Season

Best shirt jackets for men.

You tend to know right away when a design is so fit for the season at hand: Rugged layers aplenty, especially the best shirt jackets for men — like the kind seen above from our friends at Huckberry — get the job done and then some. And when the best of both worlds collide (like when a hard-wearing flannel shirt meets a durable shirt jacket), well, that’s the sweet spot as far as the best fall menswear is concerned.

Find out more and shop now at Huckberry

And if you read this Brooklyn style blog on the regular, it should come as no shock that gear from the good folks at Ohio-based Relwen tend to fit the bill quite handsomely.

What with the company’s penchant for durability, dependability and modern updates to Americana designs, staple pieces like the innovative Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket deliver as much utility and rugged appeal as a Swiss Army Knife for upstate getaways, lakeside retreats, bonfires, dive bar outings and plenty more.

Huckberry notes that the upstart brand delivers a sense of modern-meets-Americana, and in the best way possible: Technical fabrication meets tried-and-true silhouettes, often with a hearty dose of military style inspiration. And for every outdoor fall and winter adventure you can muster, I’d layer up with the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket (among a host of other reliable Relwen style picks, that is).

The Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket meets the moment as far as the good folks at Huckberry are concerned: The retailer notes that “when you wear a Relwen windzip jacket, blazer, or pants, you know they were made with quality, durability, and movement in mind,” and in my experience, I’d certainly have to agree.

Durable cotton flannel twill makes up the exterior of one of the best shirt jackets for men, while the interior is made up of one consistent piece of polyester ripstop insulation for added warmth. It’s also a positive that this durable shirt jacket comes in a series of classic and eye-catching color combinations, most of them based off your favorite classic plaid flannel shirting designs.

Spring snap hardware aids in durability and plenty of layering potential: Wear the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket atop a henley or even a chambray shirt from the good folks at Huckberry, then team it with canvas work pants for outdoor pursuits or inky blue indigo denim for casual evenings around the bonfire, dram of whiskey in hand. There’s no telling where an essential piece like the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket can take you, and that’s a great thing indeed.

See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Superfleece Jacket Upgrades a Cold-Weather Closet Staple

Best puffer jackets for men.

There’s something to be said for finding a closet staple like one of the best winter jackets, and then taking that a step further with updated, modern fabrication and standout style.

Take the puffer jacket, made with quilted construction and down filling. It’s a sportswear staple, as fit for the slopes as it is for apres-ski drinks in a more casual setting — call it an adventure jacket with some travel-ready wearability, which just so happens to be a Huckberry specialty (my favorite retailer is, of course, the focus of today’s spotlight). Keep scrolling for more!

But some puffer jackets are overly technical and come in vivid colors without versatility — that’s where the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket enters your casually rugged technical outerwear rotation and changes the game quite handily.

It’s based off another Relwen outerwear staple, the Relwen Windzip Jacket, which is a more minimal and streamlined take on the classic puffer jacket — with a dash of military style inspiration thrown in, to boot.

So, you could certainly say that the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket from the Ohio-based, Huckberry-approved outfitter is as good as it gets, blending the best of both worlds in a technical yet eye-catching, casually fashionable way. It starts with a wildly durable water-resistant, breathable stretch shell that easily repels wind and rain (at least, in my experience wearing pieces like the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket).

From there, cozy and warm high-pile fleece gives the handsome Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket superior performance in cold temperatures (you should still opt for a heavier parka during a blizzard, all that being said). The Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket boasts technical features aplenty, including ripstop-lined sleeves that should offer an easy-on, easy-off layering experience, plus brushed tricot pockets for warmth (and a dash of softness as you carry your EDC on adventures far afield).

This Huckberry-approved jacket also features mix-and-match zipper and durable snap-front button closures, and it comes in five easily wearable colors that can be paired seamlessly with expertly faded jeans, stretch chinos or jogger pants as you hop from point A to point B.

As Huckberry notes, straddle-stitched seams enhance durability at key stress points, while reliably rugged construction throughout should make for a prime wearing experience on the go this season. If you’re on the hunt for a jacket to wear on your next seasonal excursion, the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket might just be the one, my friends.

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.

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.
