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.

Yes indeed, compared to other style selections on the market that echo similar style and craftsmanship, the hard-working Line of Trade Cooper Chore Coat takes the cake as far as the best chore coats for men are concerned. With the Line of Trade Cooper Chore Coat, it starts, as always, with the fabrication and construction. Broken-in 100 percent soft-washed cotton construction gives it a true lived-in look and feel, especially in a classic shade of military-inspired olive.

That colorway means the Line of Trade Cooper Chore Coat should wear well with everything from deep blue indigo jeans to light tan or rust chinos, and grey canvas work pants and trusty Blundstone leather boots should deliver the style points you need on the go.

Three patch pockets, including one with a helpful button at the chest, provide critical everyday carry storage space, while the foldover collar is a classic touch you can use to fight back against fall breezes when layered over a thermal henley or a durable chambray shirt. For completely reliable and utterly classic style you can certainly trust, the Line of Trade Cooper Chore Coat gets the job done — and then some, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Aether Apparel Baxter Jacket is a Durable, Stylish Layer for Shoulder Season

While we can’t all take the opportunity to go as far afield as the stylish fisherman and explorer shown above, there are certain menswear essentials that can spur you on to bigger and better things — or at least, to more rugged comfort and style in the best time of year for men’s style (that’d be right now, autumn!).

There’s a tricky balance to strike, as right now, it’s not quite prime time to break out a shearling jacket or perhaps an extra-warm puffer, but durability and weather-ready performance is the name of the game. Instead, the right design and fabrication goes a long way, and that’s where the Aether Apparel Baxter Jacket enters your shoulder season rotation in style.

And the brand in question, California’s own Aether Apparel, delivers a fresh take on a classic, as the best men’s field jackets now have some serious competition on the market. The company seamlessly combines technical fabrics and silhouettes with sleek, modern style meant to go from the city to the trail and back again.

One look at the Aether Apparel Baxter Jacket should tell you everything you need to know, starting with its four-way stretch, hand-dyed Japanese ripstop fabric. With its foldover collar designed to shield you from the elements, and two front-snap chest pockets, the jacket is practically primed for urban exploration.

And yet, don’t let the ripstop fabric fool you — the brand designed the Aether Apparel Baxter Jacket with room to layer, so you should readily be able to layer a fisherman sweater or a thermal henley underneath. This ruggedly casual jacket should also prove a prime seasonal move for temperatures down to the mid-40s, which should allow you to move swiftly between the seasons in style.

Available in crisp, neutral Mineral Green or Desert Tan, the olive hue of the Mineral Green option might prove best suited for the stylish climes of the fall season — whether paired with deep blue indigo jeans, dark tan chinos or grey canvas work pants.

The Aether Apparel Baxter Jacket is the perfect example of a highly technical piece that can function as a style move when worn the right way (again, a trusty fisherman sweater would prove an apt fashion decision as a layering piece). In matters of form and function, the Aether Apparel Baxter Jacket is a winner in my book.

See Now, Buy Now: These Red Wing Heritage Beckman Boots Are a Standout Fall Style Staple

Best leather boots for men to buy now.

There’s assuredly no time like the present to keep talking about the best fall footwear, and indeed, the best leather boots for men.

The autumnal season, with its promise of brisk weather on the air and crunching leaves underfoot, and with its promise of fall pursuits ranging from Octoberfest brewery visits to bonfires, cabin getaways and pumpkin patch strolls, is without a doubt a prime time to break out some of your favorite leather boots — the perfect blend of form and function, at least in my experience.

It’s all about embracing texture, rich leathers, fall-ready colors and perhaps a few added touches, be that a thick outsole, dressy waxed cotton laces or some handsome, stylish middle ground between the two. Of course, you can find stylish men’s footwear that fits the bill on all fronts from our good friends at Huckberry.

And when it comes to the ideal merger between craftsmanship and utter cool, between longevity in design and longevity in matters of looks, the iconic Red Wing Heritage Beckman Boots are about as great as it gets these days.

They’re a touch dressier and more sleek in matters of profile and silhouette than other equally famed Red Wing Heritage men’s boots (the burly, sturdy Red Wing Iron Ranger comes to mind, which you can also find reliably at Huckberry).

The Red Wing Heritage Beckman Boots harken back to the iconic Minnesota company’s early days outfitting field workers, linesmen and miners for harsh conditions, and they’re so named after Red Wing founder Charles Beckman.

The Red Wing Heritage Beckman Boots feature dependable Goodyear welted construction, a hallmark of the reliable-as-ever brand, while full-grain Excalibur leather should break in wonderfully over time — whether you opt for a pair in rich brown Cigar or deep Black leather.

In the meantime, the rugged Gro-Cord outsole delivers maximum traction — especially when paired with workwear-inspired dark blue jeans, grey stretch canvas work pants or even tobacco-hued chinos for a laidback-meets-business-casual look. Waxed cotton laces provide durability and a streamlined finish, along with three speed-hook eyelets at the top of the boot shaft to customize the fit of your new favorite boots (whether worn for business or pleasure).

It would be easy to say they don’t quite make ’em like they used to when it comes to the best leather boots for men, but the hard-wearing and fashionable Red Wing Heritage Beckman Boots disprove that notion quite handily. Lace up a pair for each and every pursuit on the horizon this season, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Cardigan Will Be Your New Autumn Favorite

Is it ever too early to prepare for what lies ahead in matters of style, performance and menswear? If you ask me, no sir — and that’s where it pays off to scour the digital shelves of a retailer like Mack Weldon, which has nearly perfected the equation when it comes to modern performance fabrics, comfort and innovative takes on classic styles.

So, what looks like a standard shawl cardigan (albeit a rugged and versatile one at that!) actually takes on a new tack entirely, all thanks to the New York City brand’s focus on quality fabrics and classic silhouettes. That led us to talk about one of the best men’s blazers for fall and winter just a few weeks back, and it leads us once more to now talk about the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan, which puts a fresh spin on rugged, classically inspired seasonal staple.

The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan gets its durability and long-lasting appeal from a blend of Shetland wool, nylon and spandex — those last two fibers should give this sweater enough rebound and durability to stand up to repeat wear (I like to keep my rotation of shawl cardigans handy as both house sweaters and as a replacement for a blazer during cocktail bar visits in New York City, of course).

The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan also boasts cable-knit stitching and classic details like two welt hip pockets, giving this modern number the sort of old-school appeal your grandfather would have loved.

But remember: The Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan is crafted with lightweight Shetland wool, all the better to keep you from overheating as you layer this handsome sweater atop an Oxford or chambray shirt. I’d even work the Mack Weldon WARMKNIT Wool Cardigan into my rotation atop a Western-style buttondown for a further dash of rugged appeal.

It’s also a major bonus that this refined shawl cardigan comes in two wear-with-anything fall colors (True Navy and the deep olive Foxhole Heather). Each are certainly apt to wear alongside dark blue selvedge denim and a thermal henley, or else atop a crisp white dress shirt alongside charcoal wool trousers for a dash of crisp, office-ready style. It’s never too early to amp up your seasonal sweater rotation, and that’s where the latest and greatest from Mack Weldon is assuredly ready to step up to the plate.

Best chukka boots for men to buy now.

Here at this Brooklyn style blog, we’ve been talking plenty about the best fall style essentials, the selections you simply can’t live without this season — from the ground up, starting with the best boots for men and carrying on through to essential base layers, waxed jackets and more.

But let’s circle back quickly to the boots you’ve got on your feet, perhaps even right now, as it’s high time to slot in some much-needed boot-wearing as a functional change of pace from summer’s trusty canvas sneakers and leather loafers.

Welcoming the brisk climes of fall is made all that much better, easier and more stylish if your footwear is up to par, be it for cabin weekends away, afternoon walks and even days at a more casual office or a coffee shop.

And with their positively legendary design, hard-wearing specs and versatile good looks, the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots absolutely qualify as both a certified fall style classic and some of the best boots for men, period. The even better news? You can pick ’em up as part of a full-on fall #OOTD via the good folks at Huckberry.

Naturally, like other selections when it comes to the goods being sold by Huckberry, the handsome, rugged and highly functional Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots are as overbuilt as it gets, in the best way possible.

The beauty of the highly durable, expertly crafted Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots lies in both the details large and small, like the flexible and lightweight Hill outsole, with a textured design for traction and durability (just like other pairs of Red Wing work boots, as luck would have it). That outsole meets hard-wearing leather or suede across four varieties of boots.

Now, if ou follow me on Instagram, you might have seen I’ve tried the White Sand Mohave variation of the impossibly comfortable, sturdy and stylish Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots — just check ’em out above. I’ve found these chukka boots to be incredibly lightweight and supple out of the box, yet fashioned with a tough, dependable design — the three-eyelet build and rather chunky outsole make them an expert casual style move alongside everything from rolled chinos to light wash jeans.

The use of Copper Rough and Tough leather, which will develop an eye-catching patina over time, makes the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots a major winner in my book of rugged fall style for guys, too. And since they’re sold by Huckberry at the moment, you’re getting a guarantee of quality, reliability and utterly timeless style. The next time you’re searching for a pair of the best men’s chukka boots, the Red Wing Heritage Weekender Chukka Boots should be your new go-to, my friends.

The Buck Mason Storm Stopper Bomber Jacket is overbuilt in the best way possible, paying homage to iconic bomber jackets first worn by pilots decades ago.

The company uses a yarn-dyed cotton-poly weather cloth for a supple handfeel and lightweight fabrication, but it’s then finished off with a Durable Water Repellent treatment (not unlike other variations of your favorite waxed jackets).

The Buck Mason Storm Stopper Bomber Jacket is also fully lined for an easy wearing experience — style this hard-working bomber jacket atop a cream fisherman sweater or else a light khaki henley or even a clean, classic pocket tee.

The versatility of the Air Force Navy shade of the Buck Mason Storm Stopper Bomber Jacket is nearly unmatched, while ribbing at the wrists, collar and bottom hem adds a dash of warmth and a secure fit.

Speaking of fit: This modern bomber jacket features a classic fit that’s not overly baggy, so you can layer with ease.

Angled hip pockets provide space for your everyday carry, while the handsome Buck Mason Storm Stopper Bomber Jacket is finished with small details like a leather pull tab on its contrasting silver zipper.

See Now, Buy Now: This Billy Reid Plaid Shirt Takes Luxury To a New Level This Autumn (And Beyond)

Best fall shirts for men.

Once you’ve tried out a premium upgrade to a sort of everyday basic — like a newer, better, more premium and precise take on the tried-and-true fall flannel shirt — then it becomes hard to go back to anything else. A lofty sentiment though that might be, the best fall shirts for men epitomize quality construction and a handsome, rugged, classic-meets-modern design.

Again, that’s a high bar to clear, but in my experience, Billy Reid (the Alabama-based designer of a slew of modern icons) delivers accordingly, and that holds true with new arrivals from Billy Reid, here just in time for autumn’s finest weather and foliage.

The Billy Reid Melange Grid Wilson Shirt updates the time-honored fall plaid pattern of a sturdy buttondown shirt, giving it a slightly faded effect that turns it into something as easily worn with dark blue jeans and a navy blazer as with, well, those same blue jeans and broken-in leather boots.

The Billy Reid Melange Grid Wilson Shirt manages to feel classic and yet modern at the same time, boasting all the proper details one might expect from a designer known for outfitting James Bond in the Bond Peacoat over the years.

In fact, the rugged-yet-refined Billy Reid Melange Grid Wilson Shirt is a prime layer to wear beneath the iconic Billy Reid Bond Peacoat, boasting the kind of design that can be worn untucked with Billy Reid denim or tucked in alongside wool trousers and a midweight V-neck sweater (at the office or out on a date, mind you).

There are plentiful stylish features built into the Billy Reid Melange Grid Wilson Shirt, from the hidden buttondown collar (which gives the collar structure and shape without looking overly casual) to the shirt’s heirloom ribbon detailing at the hem.

That last touch on the Billy Reid Melange Grid Wilson Shirt is a Billy Reid classic, one that helps make this shirt feel so much more than a buttondown to be thrown on at a moment’s notice (although you can certainly do that, too!).

With its mother-of-pearl buttons and soft brushed cotton construction, the handsome and versatile Billy Reid Melange Grid Wilson Shirt speaks to the idea that even the everyday essentials can be made better — take heed and dress accordingly this fall, my friends.

Best fall blazers for men.

Needing to strike the right balance between comfort and style can be a tricky equation at times, at least as far as fall layering is concerned — and particularly when the occasion calls for one of the best blazers for men.

While fabrics like cotton and linen should more than suffice in the warmer months, something with a bit more heft and texture is preferred for fall and winter, yes? And that’s where my good friends at Mack Weldon rise to the occasion, and then some.

You likely know the New York City brand for its wildly soft and comfortable boxer briefs and basics, but the brand has grown into so much more over the years (as previous Mack Weldon reviews on this site attest — read up, folks!). And the Mack Weldon ACE Blazer delivers the goods, and then some, boasting a supremely comfortable mix of stretch, comfort, style and polish.

The Mack Weldon ACE Blazer is the latest and greatest menswear innovation from the brand, which also excels at modern fabrics blended with classic style silhouettes. On the surface, it features the laidback yet crisp patch pocket design of a casual blazer for men, the kind you can wear with corduroy trousers or cotton chinos as easily as with dark blue jeans.

The difference, of course, lies in an expert fabric blend of micro-brushed French terry cotton for extreme comfort and softness. There are also timeless sportcoat touches like a modern lapel and a double-back vent when it comes to your new favorite fall blazer.

Mack Weldon appears to have been right on the money when they noted that “someone invented a blazer that’s as comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt,” and in my experience, the design holds true to a precise blend of form and function. If I were you, I’d wear the handsome Mack Weldon ACE Blazer with a blend of high-and-low style essentials, like a crisply cut Oxford shirt or even a thermal henley and black jeans for style with a bit of an edge to it.

Shop the best seasonal menswear ASAP at Mack Weldon

Available in versatile colors like True Black and a light Grey Heather colorway, there’s also a perfectly fall and winter-ready Charcoal Herringbone design for a true nod to seasonal style.

Plus, you can throw on the Mack Weldon ACE Blazer and truly forget about it — it’s comfortable enough to move with you, able to be worn on a plane and then right out to drinks, and cut in the perfect weight for fall.
