See Now, Buy Now: Save 30% Today Only On This Rugged Filson Jacket

My friends, we aren’t quite done yet with the best Cyber Week menswear deals from plenty of your favorite brands, including revered retailers that rarely offer up styles for sale. One such revered retailer might be Filson, longtime Pacific Northwest gear purveyors, and a brand that doesn’t run all that many sales (try two a year).

That’s what makes today’s deal on one of the best jackets for men so essential, and so short-lived. So, here goes: Today only, get 30% off the Filson Vintage Wash Moleskin Work Coat. Yes, that’s right: Today only, and 30% off up for grabs.

Oh, and that’s not all. You can also score 30% off the Filson All Season Rain Coat in Root, a wise choice if you need one of the best rain jackets for a more temperate climate (check out that jacket above). Once again, that stylish men’s rain coat (made from the brand’s rugged, weather-ready Shelter Cloth) is 30% off as part of Filson Cyber Monday deals, and you can only get it today.

If you ask me, those are two seriously rugged wardrobe upgrades worth making, especially the Filson Vintage Wash Moleskin Work Coat, what with its pre-washed construction, hard-wearing yet soft cotton build, cool Dark Navy color and four everyday carry pockets. Heck, why not buy two new Filson men’s jackets right now, ehh?

So, to sum it up quickly so you can get back to shopping Filson Cyber Week deals: Save 30% today only on two of Filson’s best jackets. Good luck out there, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Shinola Scout Detrola Is the Best New Watch for the Watch Enthusiast This Season

If you’re starting to feel like you’re behind in the game a bit when it comes to shopping for the best holiday gifts for men — especially as something as tricky as the best gift for the watch enthusiast — allow me to offer up a helpful suggestion from your new favorite watch brand. Or rather, not a new watch brand, but the classic watch purveyors at Detroit-based Shinola, one of the coolest horology brands out there. Of course, Shinola is also a highly reliable spot for all manner of cool gifts for guys, including home goods, desk accessories and everyday carry essentials, but it’s the Shinola Scout Detrola that’s of particular interest today.

The Shinola brand simply doesn’t seem to slow down, whether it’s churning out road-ready timepieces like the Shinola Traveler Watch or delivering on the promise of a subtle, stylish yet surprisingly rugged timepiece (that’d be the Shinola Scout Detrola). Now, is it quite a lot to ask to buy a new watch for someone on your list?

Yes indeed, perhaps — but if you’re looking for the one and only, the best gift for the watch enthusiast, and one that’s way less expensive than a flagship timepiece like *gulp* a Rolex Submariner, for instance, well, the Shinola Scout Detrola is a sub-$400 winner and one of the best new watches for men.

Of course, the Shinola Scout Detrola is a terrific purchase aside from just price, although the $395 price tag makes the Shinola Scout Detrola a downright steal in the eyes of this Brooklyn style writer. It’s a more casual option than stylish Shinola leather watches, hence that lower price tag, with the rugged specs to match. To wit: The Shinola Scout Detrola boasts a lightweight, nicely sized 43mm TR90 resin case, the kind that’s durable enough for everyday adventures and outdoor wear.

Beyond that, the case itself is a neat yellow-gold color for some added style points, while the Shinola Scout Detrola also uses old-school red and yellow details for a crisp, retro effect on its black dial. For good measure, the flexible silicone strap is durable, hard-wearing and comfortable.

It’s also perfectly casual, whether you wear the Shinola Scout Detrola with the best men’s blue jeans, your favorite boots and a shawl cardigan or with tailored joggers and the best men’s henley. Options abound with the Shinola Scout Detrola, and any watch lover on your gift list this year would be honored to receive such a cool timepiece — at least, that’s my take. Happy shopping!

See Now, Buy Now: These Beckett Simonon Brogue Boots are the Best Pair of Men’s Boots to Shop Now

It seems hardly a day goes by here on The Style Guide where we’re not talking about the best winter style essentials, including some of the best boots for men — right? Yes indeed, right you are, but that’s not a bad thing in my book. In fact, if you ask me, every style rotation needs plentiful pairs of the best men’s boots, especially from a worthwhile and well-made (extremely well-made!) brand like Beckett Simonon.

The direct-to-consumer men’s footwear brand has been a favorite of mine for years (check out this 2017 Beckett Simonon review), and that shows no signs of slowing down — I’d wager you’ll feel the same way after you learn about what makes the Beckett Simonon Nolan Brogue Boots some of the best men’s leather boots.

Yes, the Beckett Simonon Nolan Brogue Boots are certainly sleek and impressive in matters of style points if you want a pair of the best wingtip boots (the kind you can wear stylishly with everything from tailored men’s chinos to the best blue jeans). But it’s the specs and the standout pricing — try under $240 for some of the best leather boots for men — that really make the Beckett Simonon Nolan Brogue Boots so covetable.

These handsome brogue boots hit on all the right notes when it comes to quality construction and design, including refined full-grain leather and precise brogue detailing. The Blake stitching is resoleable and should prove plenty durable, while a sturdy rubber outsole gives the Beckett Simonon Nolan Brogue Boots some traction on slippery city streets (particularly when styled with one of the best men’s peacoats and wool trousers for holiday parties aplenty).

For the price, you might not find a more stylish, versatile, effortlessly cool pair of boots than the Beckett Simonon Nolan Brogue Boots, and that makes them a worthy holiday and winter style move right now.

See Now, Buy Now: The Satchel & Page Weekender Is The Best Men’s Duffle Bag for Holiday Travel

Any time you hit the road, especially as you pack up those men’s style essentials for the holiday season, I maintain you should have good looks and hard-wearing functionality top of mind. That goes for how you’re dressing to get from point A to point B (especially on a chilly winter day), and it’s just as important to ensure you’re packing up one of the best weekender bags for men.

It’s especially useful during the holidays, when your time is short and you’ve probably got multiple stops to make on the road. What’s a well-dressed guy like yourself to do? That’s easy: Load up the durable, rugged and effortlessly stylish Satchel & Page Weekender — one of the best duffle bags for men, let alone this time of year — and get out there.

Perhaps you recognize the famed Texas brand for its recent Warehouse Sale, which gave you the chance to save on one of the best leather bags, or perhaps you’re a newcomer — either way, there’s lots to love with this rugged-yet-refined maker of everyday carry essentials.

Crucially, the Satchel & Page Weekender is built to exacting specifications in Italy featuring fine Italian leather, the kind that’s only guaranteed to get better with age (and I know you’ll want to pack up this bag quite a lot the rest of the year, too). The Satchel & Page Weekender is also made in conjunction with gold-rated leather tanneries for added sustainability, and the end result is quite stylish yet rugged and utilitarian, to boot.

For good measure, the Satchel & Page Weekender boasts an easy-access laptop compartment, plus an interior zipper pocket and key clip. On top of that, this stylish men’s weekender bag is also built with enough space for MacBook Pro 16-inch. Durable antique brass D-rings add a touch of durability while serving as a useful place for extra attachments.

Suffice to say, the Satchel & Page Weekender is made with plenty of room for your holiday style essentials, and it’s also made to get better with age. Bear in mind that the heirloom-worthy Satchel & Page Weekender is more of an investment than other weekender bags at more than $600, but when you consider the fact that you can use this durable men’s duffle bag all the time (yes, all the time), it’s seriously worth it.

The famed San Francisco and Austin retailer and one of the best online shops for men just announced a special deal on its sustainable sweaters from perfectly rugged, expertly crafted in-house brand Wellen, a deal worth shopping right here and right now (as the title of the post would indicate, of course).

See Now, Buy Now: This TRIWA Leather Watch Is a Stylish Men’s Watch for a Great Cause (Seriously)

The watch industry is a fast-moving one built on both innovation and tradition — old-school practices meet modern designs, often at high prices, but what about a brand that cuts through the clutter to craft some of the best watches for men, all the while making a real difference? That’s a lofty bar to clear, to be sure, but the Swedish watchmakers at Stockholm-based TRIWA really are aiming to do the right thing every step of the way, including in production of the handsome TRIWA Steel Solar Watch shown above.

How can one everyday carry brand set out to change the world? In small but simple ways of course, which TRIWA undertakes with great care. The company itself is an acronym for “Transforming the Industry of Watches,” and that means they focus on sustainable materials — like recycled ocean plastic — and crisp, clean craftsmanship alongside that innovation. So, while you might think you’re merely looking at a stylish men’s watch, it could in fact be part of the TRIWA Time for Oceans Collection, reusing that ocean plastic in its case.

That also might mean that you’re getting something even more game-changing and innovative via TRIWA, like the TRIWA Humanium Collection. The Humanium Collection features watches built from material found in upcycled illegal guns — talk about a lasting impact from TRIWA that moves far beyond timepieces, yes?

And beyond that, the rest of the lineup features some of the best men’s watches in its own right, including — of course — the TRIWA Steel Solar Watch. It runs off solar power from either natural or artificial light, and features a smaller carbon footprint in its production, too.

It helps that the TRIWA Steel Solar Watch is highly stylish, boasting options like a handsome black sunray-patterned dial in contrast with a rich brown leather strap and crisp white dial markings. The 38mm case also makes the TRIWA Steel Solar Watch a reliably refined watch you can wear as a leather dress watch or as a throwback-minded complementary piece alongside rugged menswear like your favorite flannel shirt. However you choose to wear the TRIWA Steel Solar Watch, you’re putting on a carefully considered watch made the right way, with the right intentions in mind.

See Now, Buy Now: Filson’s Alaskan Guide Shirt is One of the Warmest Flannel Shirts to Wear Right Now

If you’ve been following the blog as of late, you might recall that it’s what I now like to refer to as, well, “Filson weather.” It’s an ideal time to take stock of your menswear essentials, and it’s that time of year where it’s ideal to wear one of the best men’s flannel shirts, one of the best men’s wool jackets, and plenty of other rugged gear designed to keep you warm in style.

Right now, there’s one category in particular that’s worth your time and hard-earned cash, and that’s the shirt on your back. Specifically, look to the legendary Pacific Northwest brand to get the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt, one of the warmest flannel shirts to wear right now (and one of the most classic, at that).

The Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt checks all the right boxes as you look for reliable style and rugged performance, to say the least. As far as Filson flannel shirts are concerned, it strikes the right middle ground between the spring and summer-friendly Lightweight Alaskan Guide Shirt and the brand’s heavier shirt jackets.

Specifically, the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt boasts an 8 oz. cotton flannel build made from brushed cotton twill for soft comfort right out of the box.

And I’d wager you’ll definitely want to wear the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt right out of the box, even if you’re not in the Great White North. It’s sturdy but comfortable, and impossibly classic — but it only gets better from there.

Color options like Bottle Green or the timeless Red-and-Black design of the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt work in any style situation, especially more casual winter affairs when worn with Filson indigo denim or tan chinos (yes, Filson makes some of the best jeans for men, too). Plus, the oversized front flap chest pockets on the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt, along with its classic fit, make it easy to layer as an overshirt with room for your everyday carry in extreme conditions.

Style the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt as a mid-layer underneath a Filson waxed jacket for good measure, or wear it as a comfortable shirt jacket to grab some toasty winter beers. The possibilities are nearly endless with a shirt as well-made as the Filson Alaskan Guide Shirt — make sure you add one to your wardrobe ASAP.

See Now, Buy Now: Upgrade Your Everyday Carry with Buck Mason’s Handsome Leather Wallets

My friends, thanks for joining us today as we switch things up ever-so-slightly from a rundown of the best fall menswear to something just as important as part of your daily routine: Carrying the best leather goods with you from 9-to-5 (and beyond). And as luck would have it, one of your favorite menswear brands — that’d be Buck Mason — continues to make an impressive foray into the best men’s accessories aside from just, say, one of the best corduroy shirts or your new favorite fall jacket.

Yes, that’s right: Upgrading your everyday carry is every bit as essential as dressing with style and intention on the daily, and Buck Mason leather goods are also every bit as well-crafted as the brand’s rugged men’s henleys and stylish men’s jackets. Believe me: I’ve been able to try out pieces like the Buck Mason Countryman Full-Grain Leather Wallet, and it’s the sort of everyday carry essential you’ll look forward to using day in and day out.

The handsome and stylish collection is rounded out by pieces like a leather key ring and a card case, but if it’s more space you need for credit cards and even light bills, the Buck Mason Countryman Full-Grain Leather Wallet is your best bet. It still maintains a low profile (crucial for carrying in the front pocket of your Buck Mason men’s jeans, for instance), but delivers the crucial utility you need in one of the best men’s wallets.

While similar leather goods might run you more than $100, the Buck Mason Countryman Full-Grain Leather Wallet sets you back just $75. It’s an investment that’ll pay dividends every single time you use it, so upgrade your EDC with one of the best men’s wallets today.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt is a Fall Style Classic

Can you feel it in the air? Perhaps a brisk breeze, a touch of a chill and the need to once again layer up with, say, the best fall style essentials from one of your favorite brands? Yes indeed, the time is well and truly upon us, and that’s where one of my longtime favorite menswear companies, Taylor Stitch, boldly enters the fray.

I’m willing to bet you’ve been shopping the brand as frequently as I have lately, be it one of the best fall cardigans or one of the best shirt jackets for men, and today’s blog entry follows in the same vein with the much-loved Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt.

You might say the longtime fan favorite — it’s been in the Taylor Stitch menswear rotation since the brand’s early days — is about as essential as it gets as far as the best fall men’s style picks are concerned. How so? Well, the shirt sits somewhere between a classic flannel, a lightweight shirt and a “shacket,” with the layering versatility and style potential of each of those pieces. You see, the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt is made from a soft, layering-friendly but not overly heavy 9oz. organic cotton chamois, and things get better from there.

I’ve worn various iterations of the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt over the years, and it functions perfectly as a top-most layer over a Taylor Stitch henley or a soft merino T-shirt. As I said though, it does indeed get better, and that’s because you can also layer the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt beneath one of the best men’s fall jackets quite comfortably as the temperature drops down into the 30s and 40s (yes, I went there!).

The Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt also boasts two helpful front-button chest pockets for your everyday carry essentials, and the fit is made to be worn untucked. This gives the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt plenty of rugged styling versatility this season, given that it looks quite cool – especially in a rich Timber Shadow Plaid — alongside everything from Taylor Stitch blue jeans to the company’s expertly cut tan chinos.

It’s not every day that you come across a pick as perfectly suited to fall and winter layering as the Taylor Stitch Yosemite Shirt, so I’d say you need to shop this one early and often right now.

Today though, we’re talking specifically about the TAFT Mack Boots, a versatile and handsome pair of the best boots for men to carry you through this season. I’m also a fan of the more rugged captoe TAFT Rome Boots, and both pairs are worthy of your consideration right now.

It’s your best bet right now to pick up the TAFT Mack Boots in a brand-new, fall-ready shade of Brown. It’s a deep, rich color that works with fall tones ranging from olive to burgundy to tobacco tan and of course, navy blue as found in the best jeans for men. As luck would have it though, the TAFT Mack Boots have plenty of the right design specs to make them worth your while, too.

To wit: The TAFT Mack Boots feature handmade, Blake stitch construction, which makes ’em resoleable after years of wear. They’re also handcrafted in Spain, always a hot spot for the best shoes for men. The brown Spanish Suede upper on the TAFT Mack Boots adds some nice, fall-ready texture and style.

What’s more, the sleek wingtip profile should sit nicely underneath everything from an aforementioned pair of the best jeans for men to a fall-friendly wool suit. Between the refined style, the standout construction and their all-around great looks, the TAFT Mack Boots are absolutely worth the price ($295). Style them accordingly today, my friends.
