See Now, Buy Now: The Filson Waffle Knit Henley Offers the Utmost in Classic Comfort and Warmth

If it feels like we’ve reached the point in winter where there’s simply not much more to be done about the cold, where it feels like you’ve exhausted all your options as far as the most rugged gear (and warm gear, at that), well… fear not, my friends.

The good folks at Filson are here to save the day — at least in terms of your base layers, in the case of today’s Filson review — with one of the best henleys for men, a staple piece from a retailer that’s become an institution in the world of dependable outdoor performance (and style, of course).

The Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley seems simple on the surface, and sometimes, that’s not a bad thing when it comes time to bundle up for brisk weather. It boasts a thick waffle knit meant to bolster its heat retention and warmth in the cold, as the iconic Pacific Northwest retailer notes that the waffle knit of the aptly named Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley “creates a layer of air between the body and fabric for thermal retention and moisture management.”

Its ribbed cuffs and collar provide further durability — no need to worry about a sagging collar or flimsy cuffs, at least in my experience wearing Filson menswear. The two-button placket is shorter than other henleys on the market, but perhaps for good reason — the Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley is meant to be worn mostly buttoned up in chilly temperatures, although buttoning or unbuttoning one or both buttons delivers more airflow and temperature regulation.

Out of all of the best henleys on the market, you might say that the Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley is the one most built for work, hunting or trekking far afield — or simply layering underneath a waxed trucker jacket to hit up your local bar. If any or all of those things sound of interest — and sound like the kind of place you could put one of the best men’s henleys to work — then the Filson Cotton Waffle Knit Henley deserves place of pride in your wardrobe.

See Now, Buy Now: The Proof Rover Pants from Huckberry are A Must-Have for Your Next Trip

What do you value when hitting the road in terms of style and performance? And comfort, for that matter? Is it possible to strike a balance between the two, whether trekking far afield or staying a bit closer to home? With the Proof Rover Pants from Huckberry, my friends, the answer when it comes to striking the perfect balance is a resounding “yes.”

In m experience, the Proof Rover Pants are about as durable and dependable as it gets, boasting the stretch canvas fabric of workwear pants with the cut of a five-pocket pant. And the Proof Rover EDC Pants go a step further, bolstering the performance-plus-rugged-appeal nature of the Proof lineup at Huckberry even further. What sets the Proof Rover EDC Pants apart from your typical pair of cargo pants or work pants?

It’s got to be the pockets, my friends. The Proof Rover EDC Pants feature an astounding eight pockets for your everyday carry essentials, yet the design is such that these pockets are streamlined while staying effective (unlike the billowy cargo pants of days gone by).

In fact, the Proof Rover EDC Pants are more like modern adventure pants, featuring a lightweight cotton-blend fabric that’s also been pigment-dyed — that means your new favorite travel pants wear in like denim while staying abrasion-resistant yet comfortable.

The term “laundry” when it comes to features is an apt one with the Proof Rover EDC Pants, and there’s even better news: You can score a 50 percent discount on some of the best travel style for guys when you dive into these pants at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale (now through February 6th, my friends).

And about those pockets. You’ll find pockets for keys, a card case, additional items like a multi-tool and more. Some pockets on these durable workwear pants boast zippers for security, and some are built like patch pockets for easy access.

Either way, the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale provides the chance to scoop up some of the best pants for men at a discount.

See Now, Buy Now: The New Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt in Washed Indigo Updates a Classic Men’s Shirt

Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt review.

In terms of menswear essentials, there are a few tried-and-true, certified classic staples that belong in a man’s wardrobe: Pieces like the blue jean and the rugged henley, of course, but more polished selections like one of the best Oxford shirts for men (as seen above, of course).

Not quite as polished as a dress shirt but more cleaned up than a denim shirt, there are more than a few brands making modern updates to this iconic silhouette, and naturally, that includes my friends at Taylor Stitch.

The Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt is a prime example of a casual-yet-versatile shirt for men done right, and it’s long been a staple in my own menswear wardrobe.

With details like the brand’s expertly rolled collar, a chest pocket that stays true to classic Oxford shirt designs, and the perfect length to be worn tucked in with Taylor Stitch chinos or untucked with dark blue denim, it hits all the right notes.

That’s high praise, to be sure, but it gets even better: Taylor Stitch was founded in San Francisco about 15 years ago with an obsessive focus on the best shirts for men, so it only makes sense that the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt is a winning style as far as the best Oxford shirts for guys.

And yet, the brand just doubled down with the latest iteration of the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt — now, it comes in a handsome and ever so slightly rugged 6.5-oz. 100% organic cotton, washed indigo Oxford variety for a change of pace from the norm.

As the company says, its indigo yarns will “fade beautifully over time,” a touch I appreciate in shirting, knitwear and more. And as with past examples of the style, this version of the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt comes in helpful, expertly fitted chest sizing — in my experience, a size 44 works wonders for my build. If you feel the same way, or if you’re simply looking for a slight style swerve from the norm in terms of a newfound update to a classic, then the latest and greatest Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt could be just what the (style) doctor ordered.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Cardigan is a Luxe Update to a Classic Wardrobe Staple

Best cardigan sweaters for men.

If you’ve been keeping up with this Brooklyn style blog over the years, you very well might notice that some things have stayed consistent: A love of the best chambray shirts, classics like blue jeans and of course, staples like rugged leather boots.

But what about the erstwhile cardigan — one of the best sweaters for men, in my opinion, and one made to great fanfare (and quality) by one of the country’s best menswear designers, Todd Snyder. Yes indeed, what do you make of this style, my friends?

Shop cardigans and more at Todd Snyder

Even the most classic cardigan can look a touch trendy for some — or even a touch too retro or stuffy — but there’s no doubt (in my experience) that the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is a picture-perfect example of the style if you want to switch up your rotation of the best men’s sweaters.

Best sweaters for men.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan gets the details correct in terms of casually cool style — the ribbed texture gives it a dash of visual interest and appeal, while cardigans made from fibers like cashmere might be more refined.

A contrasting placket also adds a dash of intrigue — the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is a crisply cut sweater that’s as at home over a stretch dress shirt as it is atop a T-shirt or a long-sleeve waffle henley.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is part of the perfect mix of high-low style: Try it underneath a blazer (but atop a T-shirt in a solid color), or else style yours with the aforementioned dress shirt, a knit tie and chinos at the office.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is even fashioned with raglan sleeves for a further shot of contrast and a flattering fit — this luxurious sweater is pricier than other sweaters in your rotation, but worth your hard-earned cash all the same, particularly given its versatile color. As the brand says, your new favorite sweater is here, and it might just be the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan

See Now, Buy Now: This Buck Mason G-1 Flight Jacket Updates an All-Time Classic

Buck Mason leather jackets for men.

In my experience, the best menswear brands are ones that have a sense of heritage and history in every stitch, whether that’s faithfully recreating iconic styles or presenting time-honored favorites with a twist.

Buck Mason hits the nail on the head in both areas, with its tasteful selection of modern updates to classic silhouettes, from henleys to blue jeans (as you know if you’ve read my Buck Mason reviews over the years) and yes, one very impressive leather flight jacket as seen above.

The Los Angeles-based company uses some of the best menswear icons as a starting point for its crisply designed, casually rugged 21st-century updates, and the Buck Mason Skymaster G-1 Flight Jacket is about as cool, stylish and well-made as it gets.

Rich goatskin leather in a deep, timeless shade of brown is accented by a luxurious and yet useful, true-to-form shearling collar, just as the original versions of the style were made for the U.S. Navy back in the 1930s.

Best leather jackets for men.

The Buck Mason Skymaster G-1 Flight Jacket is further adorned with ribbed wool cuffs and a bottom hem for warmth and a snug fit, another detail prized among fighter pilots looking for warmth and durability. The Buck Mason Skymaster G-1 Flight Jacket is cut with a relaxed fit for ease of layering — opt to wear your new favorite leather jacket atop a thermal henley, a chambray shirt or a combination of that legendary trio.

Button flap hip pockets provide storage space for everyday carry essentials, while the fit (cut to hit just below the hip) should pair especially well with dark blue jeans — accented perhaps by a stylish Buck Mason leather belt, of course.

Perhaps the very best part about the Buck Mason Skymaster G-1 Flight Jacket is that it should get better with age, developing a supple and broken-in feel to go along with its own patina the more you wear. While you likely won’t be taking to the skies in combat anytime soon, the handsome Buck Mason Skymaster G-1 Flight Jacket is a surefire way to pay homage to an outerwear icon.

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.
