See Now, Buy Now: This Buck Mason Shawl Jacket is the Perfect Men’s Coat for Winter

While there are assuredly some men’s style essentials that are a bit more straightforward, like one of the best shawl cardigans or one of winter’s best blazers, there are other menswear picks that blur the lines between the two — in a way that’s rugged, stylish and seriously cool all the while. Take the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket, a near-perfect mash-up of two standout style picks for men this winter (the aforementioned blazer and shawl cardigan).

You’ll find it, of course, in the Buck Mason New Arrivals section, and it’s here just in time for a little post-Christmas, pre-New Year’s dressing (and well beyond that, naturally). The Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket is the sort of piece that, like the brand’s classic Oxford shirts or timeless blue jeans, sits in both the past and the present, with a wear-anywhere quality that works back at the office, on the road or on a Zoom call from home.

That’s because of the hybrid style, of course, and the high-quality specs (keep scrolling for more).

You see, the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket manages to be easy to layer — thanks to the brushed back French Terry cotton fabric — as well as relatively warm at the same time. You should certainly be able to layer the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket over one of the brand’s expertly cut and washed shirts, while the shawl collar provides extra protection at the neck (wear it inside the house on drafty days or use it as a mid-layer beneath your favorite peacoat when temperatures plummet).

The Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket also features some more appealing visual details that make it one of the coolest casual men’s jackets out there, like hip patch pockets (similar to a blazer). Double-needle stitching adds a nice dash of durability, while articulated sleeves make it easy to move around even when layered up.

And of course, the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket is nothing if not timeless in terms of color, be it the Classic Grey option or deep Jet. Either would wear well with some Buck Mason men’s jeans or chinos, any day of the week and any time winter weather hits. Your search for a go-anywhere winter jacket is complete, thanks to the arrival of the Buck Mason Interloop Shawl Jacket. You know where to find it, folks.

See Now, Buy Now: The HELM Boots Finn Boots Are a Rugged, Refined Footwear Upgrade

Sometimes, it takes a reminder or two, or a bit of practice, to build a wardrobe from the ground up in the year 2024 and beyond with a pair of the best boots for men. Take the HELM Finn Chelsea Boots. I talked earlier this month on the blog about how they’re some of the best Chelsea boots for men to shop now, and yet… here we are talking once again about ’em. Take that as a good sign: I’ve been wearing these handsome, refined leather boots around Brooklyn and loving the proper mix of quality, comfort and rugged style.

So, let’s talk once more about the HELM Boots Finn Chelsea Boots, shall we? Specifically, let’s dive into the rugged appeal of the HELM Finn Boots in Sienna. While these sleek, stylish Chelsea boots come in Brown and Black, it’s the water-resistant waxed suede of the Sienna colorway that I specifically appreciate, and I think you’ll feel the same way.

Of course, all of the proper specs are in order on any one of these three colorways, from the dependable, comfortable-right-out-of-the-box Blake stitch construction to the all-year rubber lug sole for maximum traction. Yet, it’s the water-resistant design of this pair that puts them a cut above the rest, especially when worn with, say, a pair of the best blue jeans or a set of the best men’s corduroy pants.

In similar fashion to some of the other best boots for men that HELM makes, these blend craftsmanship with the sort of under-$300 affordability that’s tricky to find in the market, too. The full leather lining on these essential Chelsea boots also makes them extremely comfortable right out of the box, while a durable back pull tab will last through years of wear. Sizes are going quickly when it comes to a pair of the best Chelsea boots for men, so shop while they’re still around for under $270.

See Now, Buy Now: Invest in the Best This Holiday Season with This Handsome Shinola Leather Brief

It can certainly be hard to shop for the man who has everything (perhaps you even include yourself in that category!), but there are two things I think everyone can appreciate at any given time: A stylish men’s watch and a well-made leather bag. Luckily for all of us, there’s one brand your Style Guide author recommends that carefully crafts standout examples in each category.

Of course, the headline gave it away: Detroit-based Shinola, as you know if you read this blog, makes some of the coolest men’s watches AND today’s standout style highlight: The Shinola Computer Brief, one of the best leather bags for men. It’s the sort of piece that would make a fine, heirloom-quality gift for the guy on the go this season, so let’s find out why, shall we?

A word to the wise: The Shinola Computer Brief isn’t just any standard leather bag, although it checks off all the boxes you’d expect from a highly functional yet stylish everyday messenger bag in that regard, too. It’s made from the brand’s signature, oil-infused Navigator leather, done up in a handsome shade of brown that’s not unlike some of the best leather watches also made by the company. The Shinola Computer Brief will develop a rich patina over time because of that leather, although you can also buff out those scratches and protect this handsome leather briefcase, too.

Better still is the fact that the sleek Shinola Computer Brief still manages to incorporate plentiful pockets for your everyday carry, including a long interior zip pocket and open pockets for your cellphone and naturally, other stylish Shinola leather goods. Within, you’ll also find that the Shinola Computer Brief features a 15-inch laptop pocket and a pen holder, both crucial for the modern man on the go.

Bear in mind that the Shinola Computer Brief is certainly investment-worthy at nearly $900, but given that it’s a highly useful, durable, sharp everyday leather bag, it’ll absolutely pay for itself time and time again.

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.
