See Now, Buy Now: This Filson Down Bomber Jacket is An Outdoor-Ready Layer for Every Adventure

Filson men's bomber jacket review.

I’m of the opinion that a wardrobe packed with the best men’s style essentials should be ready for anything that comes your way, especially when weather on the horizon is of the frigid, snowy variety.

And for those instances and just about anything else out there, I tend to trust Filson and the brand’s heritage-minded, exceptionally rugged and highly durable menswear. Take the Filson Down Bomber Jacket, now part of the new Filson Holiday 2024 Collection.

It’s the type of piece that showcases what the Pacific Northwest brand is all about, including a commitment to quality materials, rugged durability and performance. Yes indeed, the Filson Down Bomber Jacket is packed with bells and whistles that elevate it above even the best men’s bomber jackets, and that’s more than ideal when it comes to your winter wardrobe. Let’s count the ways this jacket can bolster your seasonal layering, shall we?

Priced at a fairly agreeable $450, the Filson Down Bomber Jacket punches above its weight class given that some other bomber jackets on the market don’t boast the strong, warm 650-fill power down found within this coat (remember, the higher the rating, the warmer the jacket).

Details like wool-lined pockets and wool-blend ribbed knit cuffs at the wrist, waist and collar further bolster the warmth of the Filson Down Bomber Jacket while keeping out wind, snow and rain.

But the real kicker when it comes to the extreme toughness of the Filson Down Bomber Jacket is its water-resistant waxed cotton exterior, all the better to take on demanding elements this time of year without missing a beat. It’s lined in nylon and comes equipped with an interior snap pocket for your everyday carry essentials, and it doesn’t hurt that the two-tone waxed cotton build is rugged and stylish at the same time.

Best bomber jackets for men.

Of course, you can also find the Filson Down Bomber Jacket in a seriously cool Otter Green color, complete with the same tough-as-nails specs and performance you expect from the legendary outfitter. Better still is the fact that this handsome bomber jacket will develop its own patina over time, getting better with age the more times you wear it on adventures far afield (and closer to home). Layer up accordingly with your new favorite bomber jacket, and you certainly won’t go wrong this holiday season.

Best men's flannel shirts to buy now.

As I compile my rotation of fall and winter wardrobe essentials, I tend to look for gear that’s built to last, that’s up for anything and that looks great while standing up to the demands of the season. It’s a higher bar to clear than one might think, but then again, that’s why I trust the good folks at Huckberry to come through week after week, season after season.

And that’s why I know I can also trust Relwen, heritage-inspired Ohio purveyors of clothing that’s burly and durable yet soft and comfortable, seemingly all at once — like the Relwen Chamois-Lined Flannel Shirt, for instance. It’s a top seller right now at Huckberry, which is saying something, with all the warmth and style points your seasonal wardrobe needs this instant.

Relwen flannel shirt review.

On the surface, it looks like a classic men’s flannel shirt. And yet, the Relwen Chamois-Lined Flannel Shirt, in addition to its soft 100 percent cotton flannel exterior, boasts a secret weapon beneath its rugged plaid stylings.

This particular flannel shirt is lined in another layer of cotton chamois for even more comfort, known for what Huckberry calls a “butter-soft feel.” That gives it an extra touch of layering potential over a thermal shirt or your favorite henley, not unlike one of the best men’s workshirts from Relwen.

Four eye-catching plaid and check patterns lend the Relwen Chamois-Lined Flannel Shirt some extra fall and winter fashion pedigree, all the better to wear with expertly faded jeans or even tobacco-hued stretch chinos (leather boots sold separately).

For an instant cold-weather layering upgrade without sacrificing style, the Relwen Chamois-Lined Flannel Shirt gets the job done, and then some — as with most gear from Huckberry, isn’t that right?

See Now, Buy Now: The Shinola Mechanic Watch is a Refined Timepiece for Everyday Wear

Shinola men's watch review.

The details often make the difference in putting together the best #OOTD for many a situation: The office, date night, a *day at the office into date night,* and so on. Accessories can take an outfit from good to great, especially a look centered around the classics — like an Oxford shirt and a navy blazer, for instance.

And as I put together a classically cool look of my own (check out my Instagram for more!), I often turn to a finishing touch via the best watches for men. In fact, I turn to one of my favorite brands: Michigan-based Shinola, a watchmaker that’s truly a lifestyle brand. There’s the Shinola Hotel in Detroit, plus an impressive array of Shinola furniture collaborations, but let’s talk about the Shinola Mechanic Watch as seen at the top of the page.

Shinola watch review

The best men’s watches needn’t be overly complicated or even overly expensive — and even something seemingly simple in terms of design can add a sense of sharpness to any look.

So it goes with the Shinola Mechanic Watch, so named for its hand-wound mechanical design — on a technical note, a series of gears and springs power the watch, without the need for a battery.

But we’ll leave more intricacy to watch blogs out there, since both the design and interior construction of this timepiece are still flawless enough to warrant your hard-earned cash (and time), and a place in your wardrobe.

When it comes to the Shinola Mechanic Watch, the difference really is in the details, and that includes a cushioned case design and domed alabaster dial, while pleasantly curved hours and minutes hands also lock in the tasteful throwback look of this timepiece. The dial exudes a mix of Art-Deco and Mid-Century Modern-esque charm, something I tend to appreciate about Shinola men’s watches.

In my book, the look of this refined timepiece is crisp and versatile enough to be dressed down (with a waffle henley and dark blue jeans) or dressed up (with a white Oxford shirt and a navy blazer, for instance). There’s simply much to love about a timepiece like the Shinola Mechanic Watch, which also boasts a dressy and retro-minded 39mm dial (keep this in mind if you favor a larger watch).

And while this watch might seem like a splurge at first, it’s a worthwhile purchase and even comes with some distinctive touches, like that toothed crown on the right for self-winding. A handsome leather strap rounds things out quite nicely for pairing with your favorite brown leather boots — if I were you, I’d look to pair up the Shinola Mechanic Watch with as many ensembles as possible this season (and beyond).

See Now, Buy Now: This Buck Mason Henley is a Tried-and-True Fall Classic

Buck Mason men's henley review.

There are a few menswear essentials I consider to be true classics, as the headline would indicate – the sort of staple pieces that look great on every guy and just, well, get the job done when it comes to appealing, rugged and versatile style.

If you’ve read the blog lately, especially this autumn, then you know that Buck Mason knows a thing or two about serving up those classics — from the trusty peacoat to five-pocket corduroy pants to the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley shown above. It’s an update to throwback military pieces, with the style points to match, and it’s the sort of shirt that functions handily as a base layer or a statement piece in its own right.

Plus, when you throw in the fact that this stylishly rugged henley is built with an extended placket for a touch of visual interest, the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley gets even cooler and more eye-catching. Corozo buttons give the contrasting placket a dash of style, too. It’s also made with a French rib cotton double knit construction, the better for a proper combination of softness and style.

Ribbed cuffs deliver a secure fit at your wrist, and color options like Natural (my personal favorite) and Sandstone hit the right marks in terms of style points. The Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Henley is built with durability in spades, it looks great with jeans, with stretch chinos and a trucker jacket or underneath a soft-shouldered blazer.

And it comes in easily wearable colors for an expert look and feel this season — yes, it lives up to its name as a tried-and-true classic, and then some.

See Now, Buy Now: These Astorflex Derby Shoes from Huckberry are the Most Versatile In Your Wardrobe

Astorflex men's shoes review.

When I hit the market searching for a pair of the best men’s shoes, period, I look for durable, dependable shoes that fill a need in multiple style situations. After all, not every guy needs to lace up ultra-slick dress shoes every single day, and that’s where Huckberry’s wares enter the fray.

In my book, sometimes, a pair of stylish chukka boots, some of the best Chelsea boots or even slightly more casual leather derby shoes will suffice. So it goes with Astorflex and the new, fast-selling Astorflex Redflex Derby Shoes.

The derby shoe features open lacing and a slightly more casual profile — the kind that looks as serviceable and stylish with dark blue jeans as it does with stretch chinos and perhaps even a tailored wool suit. There’s also a contrasting sole and a studded outsole for a touch more casual style.

And because they hail from Huckberry-approved brand Astorflex — family-owned Italian footwear makers with generations of experience and a penchant for using sustainable materials — you can rest easy knowing that quality remains paramount.

The Redflex Derby Shoes use a handsome vegetable-tanned leather upper paired with a memory foam insole, and the leather itself looks to be the kind that both shines up cleanly and gets even better with age.

Handcrafted construction also sets these versatile shoes apart, while the profile and style is the kind you can wear multiple times a week, in multiple situations, without missing a beat. Pairs of these stylish new shoes from Huckberry are selling quickly though, so act accordingly and wear ’em as often as you please — with indigo denim, with tan chinos and more, my friends.

Or rather, builds off what they do so well, which in this case is a modern take on the best Western-style men’s boots — now accented by a lineup of stylish, versatile men’s apparel.

The style falls right in line with the brand’s Western-style design cues and inspiration, serving a purpose that’s as functional as it is formidably stylish. The Tecovas Stormchaser Jacket starts things off on the right foot with its hard-working waxed exterior, fashioned from iconic Halley Stevensons waxed fabric.

It’s built like a Western-style trench-meets-ranch jacket, with a fit that hits at mid-thigh and useful touches like an adjustable hood.

Tecovas Stormchaser Jacket review.

For good measure when it comes to all your seasonal pursuits — whether or not you find yourself on a ranch — the Tecovas Stormchaser Jacket features side snap pockets and an adjustable waist for a more secure fit. And in an even cooler touch, the Tecovas Stormchaser Jacket reminds me of the sort of jacket worn rather famously by the titular character in last year’s “Oppenheimer” epic — never a bad bit of style inspiration to have on your side.

Tecovas men's jackets review.

The crisp navy color is a personal favorite in terms of easy wearability with everything from blue jeans to tan chinos, and contrasting hardware makes it all the better. One more thing to love about the Tecovas Stormchaser Jacket? It’s finished off with an eye-catching inner lining, and before I forget: It just so happens to be nearly 50 percent off right now via the Tecovas Last Call section.

Yes, 50 percent off. For Western-inspired style and utility in spades, the Tecovas Stormchaser Jacket is a fine addition to any seasonal outerwear rotation.

Yes indeed, the Flint and Tinder Heritage Wool Jacket is everything you need in a warmer wool jacket — it’s a durable step up from the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, no doubt about it.

Flint and Tinder men's jackets.

Ahh, yes: Shoulder season. The term given as a nickname for fall or autumn by those who love layering up with the finest menswear essentials, outerwear and more. And it’s as fine a term as any to give to the best time in the menswear pantheon, as the crisp temperatures of fall lend themselves quite nicely to throwing on, say, the new Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket.

Already known for crafting some of the hardest-wearing, toughest outerwear on the market via Huckberry, Flint and Tinder goes in a slightly different direction with its latest release.

The Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket riffs on both the puffer jacket and the shirt jacket in its hybrid style, which Huckberry says “combines classic style with modern functionality.” If looks are to be believed, the company is once again right on the money.

The Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket boasts all the hallmarks of one of the best shirt jackets for men, from the easy-access snap front to the oversized snap button chest pockets. Even its side pockets snap shut for added everyday carry storage, and the nylon exterior is water-resistant for an added shot of performance.

As to be expected in its name, the Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket is built out with 80-gram recycled polyester fill for warmth that’s also easy to move around in — or layer atop another rugged Flint and Tinder buttondown, for instance.

Helpfully in matters of style, the Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket comes in a series of rich seasonal colors, like Dark Forest or Brick. Each would pair up easily with an natural-colored henley and indigo jeans, or else with a plaid flannel buttondown and Flint and Tinder’s famed 365 Pants.

It’s a quick, easy-on, easy-off layer with a refined shirt collar design that elevates the traditional puffer jacket in stylish, rugged fashion, and those touches make the new Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket a must-buy for the weeks and months ahead.

When you come across a true men’s style classic, you tend to recognize it right away — and in the case of the best fall boots for men, those classics tend to hail from a heritage-minded company like Allen Edmonds.

Allen Edmonds men's boots review.

The Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill Boots aren’t merely a stylish fall footwear choice, though — they boast plenty of functionality, from a custom cork insole (one that molds to your foot) to a weatherproof design from toe to heel. The Allen Edmonds Higgins Mill Boots rest on Dainite rubber soles for added traction and a smooth ride underfoot.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Waffle Henley is a Luxe Update to a Fall Classic

Best henleys for men to buy now.

Whenever I scour the market high and low for the best fall style essentials, I tend to start my search with some old favorites, tried-and-true brands that really deliver. As you very well know if you read the blog, Todd Snyder fits the bill quite nicely as one of the country’s best menswear designers.

That certainly holds true when it comes to both luxurious style essentials as well as everyday favorites (the best Chelsea boots for men come to mind). So today’s pick of choice hits the right notes somewhere in the middle, striking a balance between rugged and luxurious. And that selection just so happens to be a personal favorite, a rugged henley delivered in premium waffle construction.

The Todd Snyder Mini Waffle Henley riffs on a classic — the easily wearable henley, one that functions as both a base layer with flannel shirting and a solo style star underneath your favorite waxed trucker jacket. Available in an array of colors including the crisp, classic Antique White, this stylish henley is soon to become a surefire favorite, at least in my experience with Todd Snyder menswear.

Best henleys for men.

The Todd Snyder Mini Waffle Henley has plenty going for it, with military thermal shirting serving as inspiration. Peruvian cotton makes all the difference in terms of soft yet supple construction, and the half-placket henley is a distinctive detail that gives it some visually stylish appeal.

Plus, the Todd Snyder Mini Waffle Henley boasts a slim fit — it’s truly meant for layering, so shop carefully in terms of sizing. It’s assuredly an investment in terms of price (it retails for $138), but considering its versatility — as well-suited underneath a trucker jacket as with a soft-shouldered wool blazer — this henley should prove worth the price tag.
