See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is Rugged Menswear Perfection This Winter (and Beyond)

If the start of your 2025 has meant getting down to business and getting back to work — in matters of menswear essentials and of course, when it comes to actual work — then you’ve come to the right place. From casually rugged style situations to Work-From-Home days, time spent in the yard and time spent in the road, I can think of no better shirt to wear than the aptly named Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt.

If you’ve kept up with this blog and Taylor Stitch reviews over the years, you’ll note that the San Francisco brand excels at making the kind of shirting (and knitwear, and chinos, and accessories) that keeps stylish guys (like yourself) coming back for more. That same focus holds true for the latest addition to the brand’s roster of workwear-inspired shirting, and the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt plays its part well, and then some.

For starters, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is built with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from one of the best workshirts for men, including expertly cut-and-sewn flap patch chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials.

Beyond that, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt makes use of a sturdy, elements-ready wool and cotton canvas blend that should take on brisk temperatures quite nicely indeed, at least in my experience with Taylor Stitch men’s shirts.

Best overshirts for men.

There’s a heft and a weight to Taylor Stitch men’s shirting, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt very much included. The brand notes the Indigo yarns seen here will develop their own look and patina over time, never a bad thing to have when it comes to your go-to everyday workshirt. And the medium-weight build of the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt should make it a reliable layer over everything from a cotton Taylor Stitch henley this winter to a breezy graphic T-shirt come spring days and cooler summer nights.

Yes, that’s right: In my experience, the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt is a sturdy, strong and bold-looking workshirt with multi-season chops, and the brand’s signature California collar should frame your face nicely in matters of style.

Of course, like all stylish Taylor Stitch men’s shirts, it comes in exact chest sizing for a fit that’s neither too tailored nor too sloppy. What’s not to love about that?

Of course, the strong and workday-ready Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt also comes in fabrics like a rich deep Navy Corduroy, as well as shades like a versatile off-white shade of Ash, but any way you take your new go-to overshirt, it’s a winner from sunrise to sunset. With the Taylor Stitch Utility Shirt, everything from Zoom calls to dive bar jaunts now seems even more stylish, functional and hey, even fun. Cheers to that, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Mott and Bow is Now Making One of the Best Overshirts for Men

Best shirt jackets for men.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: When a menswear company branches out beyond its typical focus, yet manages to dream up staple pieces that pair expertly with its, well, general expertise, it’s a sight to behold. Hyperbole aside, that means that I’ve kept a close eye over the years on Mott and Bow, makers of your favorite jeans.

And now, you can also consider them makers of luxurious cashmere sweaters, perfectly fitting cotton tees and of course, one of the best men’s shirt jackets as seen above. Yes, premium denim in a range of fits and washes is the main focus at Mott and Bow, but a series of rugged and subtly stylish overshirts have now joined the decade-plus-old lineup at the NYC denim brand — and it’s for the better, at least in my experience.

A hearty, thick blended wool fabrication sets the Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket from the pack in each of its three versatile colors (including my personal favorite, a rich Olive number). The Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket also features two notched-flap patch chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials, while satin binding at each of the seams gives this men’s shirt jacket a rather refined finish.

The Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket is also built with double back yokes, the better for ease of movement as you layer your new favorite shirt jacket over a thermal shirt, your favorite henley or even a Mott and Bow long-sleeve T-shirt on casual days.

And at its core, the pleasingly rugged Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket should style up in expert fashion with dark blue, black, grey or tan Mott and Bow jeans. In fact, in my experience, any shade and fit of Mott and Bow men’s denim should work well for casually rugged style alongside the new Mott and Bow Oversized Wool Shirt Jacket.

It’s a new product offering from one of the best denim brands out there, and it just makes perfect sense in my book — how about you? If you end up taking the plunge with one of these shirt jackets, let me know in the comments or on Instagram, my friends.

Best denim shirts for men.

As the year starts to ramp up in earnest — starting today for many of us, naturally — there’s something to be said for continuing to lean on reliable menswear classics (with a modern twist!) as you sort through the daily grind.

Or rather, as you look to bolster your menswear wardrobe in the new year — while fashion trends and runway shows are worth keeping an eye on at times, the tried-and-true classics stay that way for a reason (as I often say here at this Brooklyn style blog). And there’s not much that’s more classically rugged and eternally cool than the denim shirt, particularly when it’s made by upstart menswear brand Line of Trade.

Super-soft yet strong flannel shirts and shirt jackets also encompass the impressive Line of Trade menswear rotation, and the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket just might be one of the best jackets for men you can buy now — but let’s get back to essential denim shirting, shall we?

The denim shirt as a time-honored style boasts sturdy workwear heritage, with the ability to fight back against dust, dirt and grime, and even in the year 2025, the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt carries on that same heritage.

Best denim shirts for men.

As Line of Trade notes, the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt, with its expertly washed and broken-in 3-year fade and 6 oz. cotton denim build, is a “hardy denim shirt worthy of its heritage,” with the chops to be dressed up ever so slightly with tan chinos, or dressed down with black jeans.

The contrasting double-needle gold thread stitching is a stylish touch alongside the perfectly faded build, while a workwear button chest pocket drives home the utility of the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt. Helpfully, the cut of the shirt is perfect to wear tucked in (alongside stretch chinos at the office) or untucked as you layer it over a thermal henley this winter.

For a denim shirt that clocks in at well below $100, one that delivers all the versatility and classic workwear vibes it can muster, the Line of Trade Foundry Denim Shirt is a prime selection to kick of 2025 in earnest.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt is a Modern Winter Menswear Favorite

Best flannel shirts for men.

In my experience, there might not be a brand that makes a better, more stylish shirt for men than Taylor Stitch. A bold way to kick off today’s post (and a new, shortened) holiday week? Perhaps, but if ever you’ve tried on or tried out the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt, then you’re aware that it’s a heavy hitter, even among the best flannel shirts for men.

Shop menswear essentials at Taylor Stitch

You might call the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt an instant classic, but it’s been a personal favorite of mine in its many iterations over the years, the latest and greatest very much included. All the hallmarks of one of the best winter shirts for men are present, including soft-yet-sturdy organic cotton twill construction with a garment-washed finish.

That makes the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt as comfortable as any shirt in your rotation, particularly if you frequently love to wear, say, one of the best men’s flannel shirts in the colder months (guilty as charged).

The rich Olive Plaid version of this winter’s take on the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt is especially eye-catching, and a nice change of pace for your own shirting wardrobe aside from white Oxford shirts and even indigo denim shirts (again, guilty as charged).

The brand’s signature California collar frames the face nicely and even gives the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt some dressy appeal — at least, beneath a navy blazer with dark blue jeans for a business-casual sort of look.

U-shaped chest pockets give this shirt a sort of overshirt or shirt jacket-type of appeal, although the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt — available in useful chest sizing — is as wearable tucked in with a shawl collar cardigan as it is untucked alongside your favorite pair of black jeans.

For winter-ready versatility and style in spades, opt for a perfectly fitted edition of the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt, then be surprised (or rather, not surprised!) at how much wear you get out of it this season (and beyond).

See Now, Buy Now: This American-Made Waffle Henley from American Giant is the Cozy, Rugged Layer You Need

Best waffle henley for men to buy now.

When it comes time to really dial down and take on winter’s worst, it helps to go back to basics — back to sturdy staples, like the trusty waffle henley — that are meant for warmth and rugged appeal.

For example, take the humble and hard-working henley. Plenty of brands have taken their shot in recent years at making one of the best henleys for men, but very few are doing it quite like American Giant, especially when it comes to the American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley.

Learn more now at American Giant

The American-made menswear manufacturer has been crafting distinct, limited-edition runs of clothing beyond just the fan-favorite American Giant Classic Full-Zip Hoodie, and these “drops” are very much worth checking out, at least in my experience. The American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley is the latest among those limited-time selections, with all the utility you could ever want in a durable long-sleeve henley.

Those specs start with a blend of cotton and spandex for crucial comfort and stretch, while the thick waffle knit is ideal for use as a thermal base layer. Raglan sleeves amp up the mobility factor on the American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley, which comes in both a distinct Pageant Blue and an eye-catching, old-school shade of red.

American Giant waffl henley review.

Its metal buttons even boast an antique finish, another careful touch that elevates the American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley from the pack (perhaps another reason it’s selling so quickly at the moment). Your new favorite henley is sewn together, finishing touches and all in Los Angeles, another rarity in the menswear world these days, and it’s practically tailor-made for layering underneath a shirt jacket, a trucker jacket or even a shawl cardigan.

To say you’d do well to add the American-made, fast-selling American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley is an understatement right now, my friends. Shop accordingly this holiday season.

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.

It could very well be one of the best trucker jackets on the market, a reliably durable and casual change of pace for when you want to swap out your winter parka for something with more mobility and more detail in mind.

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!

See Now, Buy Now: This Buck Mason Tweed Blazer is a Refined Take on a Classic

Best blazers for men.

For as much as a man’s wardrobe is about the everyday workhorses — the kind of pieces we talk so often about on this Brooklyn style blog — it’s also about the occasional indulgence (within reason, of course). Take the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer — it’s got all the trappings of one of the best blazers for men, with a bit of an added modern flair that updates a classic in fine form.

It’s also a particularly stylish swerve from a traditional selection for one of the best blazers for men, of course, and that’s also never a bad thing to have in your wardrobe in the heart of the holiday season. So, why the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer, and why now?

Well, my friends, I’m glad you asked. The holidays are an ideal time to step things up a notch in terms of dressing, with a greater focus on refinement and elegance — whether hosting, visiting friends or hitting the road.

And even when paired with some of your favorite pairs of jeans, a selection like the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer exudes another level of style: It’s got a tailored but not overly tight fit, while the Italian tweed fabric and classic pattern stand out handsomely via many an occasion.

Plus, details like flap patch pockets give your new favorite blazer a sort of rarified air — an easygoing touch that makes this handsome blazer more casual, but no less ready to pair with dark grey corduroy trousers and dark brown leather wingtip boots (a Buck Mason Oxford shirt would also fit the bill nicely here, my friends).

Shop men’s blazers and more at Buck Mason

Fittingly, the dress-up or dress-down nature of the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer gets a boost from its natural soft-shoulder design — the sort of look that makes many a made-in-Italy blazer look so elegant. And at the end of the day, the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer departs tastefully from the norm (for a price) without overdoing it – doesn’t that sound like the kind of piece that can take any holiday #OOTD from good to great, my friends?
