The List: Shop This Week’s Best Men’s Fashion and Gear Picks for Any Occasion

This beauty of a bag from Filson is but one of a host of menswear essentials I think you’ll love today.

We’re going to jump right into today’s list of the best men’s fashion picks by checking out a seriously rugged, adventure-ready bag from Filson — the Tin Cloth Excursion Bag, to be more specific. You’re going to love it. Heck, sometimes, the right bag can be an easy way to upgrade the rest of your style — after all, you want to step up the rest of your outfit accordingly, right? The rest of today’s picks also feature something for everyone, from a peek at Topo Designs x The National (that’s right!) to the best leather Chelsea boots your money can buy. Let’s dive in below.

Filson Tin Cloth Excursion Bag — $425

One heck of a durable, well-made bag for adventures in every season.

See, I told you that you’d love the first pick in today’s post. Featuring beastly construction and the sort of attention to detail you’d expect from Filson, the Tin Cloth Excursion Bag is another piece to add to your consideration set for your everyday carry.

Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots — $195

Dependable boots made the right way, all courtesy of Astorflex and Huckberry.

We’re big fans of Astorflex here on the blog for the way the brand makes its stylish boots sustainably and with some serious style top of mind. The Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots, exclusive to Huckberry, carry on that lineage handsomely (and they’re newly restocked!).

Topo Designs x The National Classic Duffel — $149

A classic travel bag made in partnership with the iconic indie rock band The National.

This right here is a no-brainer for me — Topo Designs, makers of excellent technical gear infused with quite a bit of style, have teamed up with my all-time favorite band, my heroes … yes, The National. The resulting Classic Duffel is travel-ready, which is fitting considering I’ve traveled a fair amount on my own to see them. In short, I’m on board with this handsome bag, from the Cordura fabric exterior to the embroidered NTL logo. Fun fact: The color of the bag also plays off the blue color found on the band’s 2017 classic “Sleep Well Beast” … just perfection.

Bespoke Post Cheers Box — $45 (When Signing Up for Bespoke Post)

The right picks you need to enjoy your next craft beer … over and over and over.

Only $45 for a box of craft beer essentials? All available with ease through Bespoke Post? How cool is that? Whether you’re a craft beer novice or a longtime fan, the Bespoke Post Cheers Box is enough to get anyone fired up about the industry (and about whatever beer you have in your hand, of course).

Outerknown Octillo Shirt — $88

A no-frills shirt that manages to be sustainable AND stylish.

From the rich color to the easygoing styling potential, this Outerknown shirt is the kind you throw on underneath a shawl cardigan with faded jeans (or all on its own, sleeves rolled up), to head into the office on a casual day in late winter or early spring. The double-weave organic cotton is a winning fabric with a light weight, so you should also feel free to layer it over a classic henley.

Centric Instruments Lightwell Field Watch — $260

A dependable field watch powered by the energy of the sun? Put me down for one.

The perfect everyday watch (shown here in a different colorway than previously featured on the site) can be very tricky to find — you might say the search is *ahem* time-consuming. Centric Instruments takes care of all of that for you, thanks to this rugged field watch with a solar-powered movement capable of holding reserves up to six months. Bingo.

Orvis Tech Chambray Work Shirt — $89

A modern update on a rugged classic from Orvis.

You might know Orvis for its field-ready gear made for outdoorsmen, but the brand is more than that. The Tech Chambray Work Shirt features quick-dry fabric and the styling potential of a tough chambray work shirt, all wrapped into one. From the triple-needle stitching to two front-button pockets, I’ve found this shirt to be versatile and durable (especially for my recent trip to Dublin).

Coalatree Trailhead Pants — $90

A unique pair of pants fit for travel or weekend relaxation.

Right off the bat, you can tell the Coalatree Trailhead Pants are a little different than the rest. From the drawstring ankles and waist to the tear-resistant nylon fabric, they could just be the perfect pants for winter travel — try them with a classic chambray shirt and rugged leather chukka boots.

Taylor Stitch The Jack Shirt in White Reverse Jacquard — $138

A cool pattern mixed with that timeless Taylor Stitch fit — coming up aces.

Take it from a big fan — the fit and styling potential of Taylor Stitch shirts is nearly perfect. I’d say that’s also the case when it comes to the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, shown here in a seriously cool White Reverse Jacquard fabric. Wear it with slim tan chinos & stylish leather dress shoes.

Topo Designs Field Pants — $89

Durable work pants made from tough cotton twill — tailor-made for your favorite brewery or your next weekend hike.

We’re back with more gear from Topo Designs — the durable, rugged Field Pants can take the place of jeans on a Casual Friday (maybe with the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt) just as readily as they can put in serious work out in, well, the field. 100 percent organic midweight twill cotton provides longevity and easy wearability, while front patch pockets give you space for your everyday carry essentials.

Klitmøller Johan Sweater — $187

A warm, easy-to-layer winter sweater with great styling potential.

Speaking of gear that you can wear with the Field Pants from Topo Designs, well … add this rugged winter sweater from Klitmøller to your list. It’s the perfect pairing with, say, the Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots and a hot cup of coffee.

Allegiance Flag Supply Colorado State Flag — $150

Talk about a unique way to amp up your wall decor.

Now, do I have any deep ties to the state of Colorado, or have I ever lived there? Nope. Does this Allegiance Flag Supply flag look pretty cool, nonetheless? Yessir. Go for it to upgrade your living space in style.

OK, which of the above was your favorite today? We covered a lot of ground (in my humble opinion), but I have to say … the rugged versatility of the Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots (again, some of the best men’s boots out there) makes it hard to pass ’em up. As always, let me know your thoughts on Twitter — thanks for reading!

Dependable and smartly designed to layer with ease.

A richly crafted, stylish shirt jacket that’s exclusive to Huckberry is tough to pass up, right? Particularly one that’s made with military heritage and bombproof (yes, bombproof) construction in mind. The Knit Jacquard Snap CPO from Relwen is perfect to wear with slim grey chinos, tough moc toe leather boots and your favorite henley, naturally.

SHOP: The Knit Jacquard Snap CPO from Relwen

Fourlaps Rush Jogger 2.0 — $88

A pair of tailored joggers that function nicely for work or play.

Whether you throw on these sweats to take on a winter weekend 5K or perhaps a more leisurely park stroll, the Fourlaps Rush Joggers (2.0 Edition) blend sporty style with a tailored fit.

Santa Rosa Tahoma Moccasins — $280

Hard-wearing moc boots that channel throwback style.

From slim sweatpants right back to rugged leather boots we go. The Santa Rosa Tahoma Moccasins are made with some serious attention to detail, a quality that harkens back to the brand’s West Coast founding in 1906 (yes, 1906!). Try wearing these stylish moc boots with slim faded denim and a classic crewneck sweatshirt.

Luminox Xcor Aerospace Pilot Professional Watch — $1,900

One heck of an advanced-yet-stylish timepiece.

Is this technologically advanced Luminox watch a major splurge? Yes. Do you need it unless you’ve got a very adventure or day job? Perhaps not. But if you do, it’ll surely come through.

Faherty Brand Overdyed Denim in Faded Grey — $178

A nice switch from dark blue denim.

A new arrival to the Faherty Brand site, these slim overdyed jeans are a unique way to switch things up from inky dark denim. As always with Faherty Brand, the fit and fabric are on-point.

Bluegrass Barrels Black Hoop Aging Barrel — $60

A neat way to upgrade your home bar.

A premium aging barrel might not be the first thing you think of when you think of essentials for your home bar, but it’s one of the coolest and most underrated components — right?

Mission Belt Full-Grain Italian Leather Belt — $74.95

A new way to design and wear a belt, with a great cause in mind.

As seen on Shark Tank, Mission Belt really is like no other belt company out there, from the fact that its belts have no holes (they use a neat slide-and-clip mechanism instead!) to the fact that a dollar from every belt goes toward micro-loans to help entrepreneurs in developing countries. After testing it recently, I love the Cognac Italian Leather Belt as seen above.

Ash & Fir Upstate Candle Trio — $54

Three candle choices that mimic the scent and feel of lovely upstate New York.

Especially as we roll through winter, don’t overlook the importance of stocking up on the best candles for your home or apartment. You get three nicely scented candles here from Ash & Fir, luckily.

Amogan 1844 Chronograph — $349

A sharp dress watch you’ll want to wear on the daily.

Now, here’s that stylish leather watch we talked about. It can be hard to find the right black leather dress watch, seeing as it’s more specific and often more expensive. But the About Vintage 1844 Chronograph delivers in every single area.

Levi’s Work Pants in Harvest Gold — $69.50

Tough work pants from an iconic brand.

Durable, dependable and every bit as classic as you’d expect from Levi’s, these stylish work pants would pair perfectly with rugged moc toe boots and a bold shawl collar cardigan.

The List: 12 New Men’s Style Picks to Start 2019 Off Right

Kicking off today with a beautifully made shawl cardigan from a classic American brand.

There are times when the weather, the season itself and even the day of the week merit nothing but the best men’s style gear you can get your hands on. Especially given that January’s chilly weather is bearing down on us (or most of us, that is). With that being said, today’s featured pick is the excellent Buck Mason Ash Vintage Cashmere Shawl Cardigan. It’s a beautiful piece of work, and it’s made particularly well for winter layering with a slim henley shirt. So, that’s how we’re starting today’s edition of The List. Let’s get upgraded for the new year.

Buck Mason Ash Vintage Cashmere Shawl Cardigan — $225

The type of classic cardigan you need this winter.

To stay warm, cozy & uniquely stylish this winter, reach for a throwback-inspired shawl cardigan from the terrific menswear purveyors at Buck Mason.

SHOP: The Buck Mason Shawl Cardigan

Faherty Brand Luxe Heather Henley — $98

A casual winter henley that stands out stylishly.

When you look at brands that offer uncompromising quality and excellent fabric, well, Faherty Brand has gotta end up near the top of the list. This rugged henley is perfect to layer under that Buck Mason cardigan.

Hardcore Hammers Hardcore Survivalist Hatchet — $135

An unexpectedly functional way to take on winter chores.

There are certain places that stock and sell so many men’s style classics, it’s tough to know where to start. Within the Huckberry General Store, the Hardcore Hammers Hardcore Survivalist Hatchet is both unique & yet necessary for winter yard work.

Astorflex Coastflex — $114.98

Classic dress shoes that wear more like suede chukka boots.

So, we go from what to use for a day of yard work to what to wear for a day at the office — the Astorflex Coastflex delivers low-key style and comfort in the new year.

Zodiac Chrono Quartz Watch — $495

Dependably rugged and stylish for winter.

Let’s take stock of your watch collection — do you have a go-to casual watch? Perhaps one that even looks a bit dressier than its functionality implies? The Zodiac Chrono Quartz Watch gets it done on both accounts.

Howler Brothers Roadrunner Shell — $86.98

An easily wearable, rugged shirt jacket.

Cut from a versatile cotton chambray and treated with a durable water-repellent coating, this classic shirt jacket would wear nicely with a tough henley for a winter weekend hike.

A one-of-a-kind jacket from an iconic brand.

Faherty Brand Peak Cap — $98

A warm, well-made knit cap for winter adventures.

We’re recommending yet more gear from Faherty Brand because this brand simply delivers on all fronts. Yes, even when it comes to a stylish winter cap … made from a soft cotton-wool blend, to boot.

Huckberry Vintage Trainers in White — $185

Wear these now if there’s no snow, or keep ’em handy for spring.

These chilly months ahead surely mark a banner time to buy some of the best men’s winter boots … but you can also find great deals on vintage-inspired sneakers, like these classic runners from our good friends at Huckberry. Wear ’em with a rugged henley from Faherty Brand, plus a classic navy peacoat.

Filson 48-Hour Tin Cloth Duffle Bag — $475

A durable weekender bag for your next winter trip.

Is there any way to go wrong when shopping for rugged gear from Filson? Especially a tough weekender bag like the 48-Hour Tin Cloth Duffle Bag? Nope. That’s it.

Now, from the above list, what’s your favorite pick when it comes to winter style essentials? I always ask that, because I have a tough time deciding myself. In this instance, I can’t recommend the Zodiac Chrono Quartz Watch enough. It’s one heck of a watch. Of course, the Flint and Tinder Stonewashed Jeans also provide plenty in terms of comfort and mobility this winter. What’s your take? Happy shopping!

The List: Shop This Week’s Best New Gear Picks for Men

Throw on these rugged gloves and get prepped for some post-holiday work.

The start of a new week calls for the best gear of the season, especially now that we’ve nearly closed out 2018 (can you believe it!?) and have our eyes on the prize: 2019. With that, I want to wish y’all loyal Style Guide readers a very Merry Christmas (and a warm, stylish Christmas Eve). I think you’ll find this week’s men’s style essentials run the gamut, from rugged leather gloves to handsome leather boots, all designed to carry you through the end of the year and into New Year’s Eve in style. We’re even recommending a whiskey for your New Year’s Eve party. Without further ado, here we go.

Give’r 4-Season Gloves with Wax Coating — $140

Durable leather gloves made for work and weekend exploration.

These no-nonsense, tough leather work gloves are ready for your toughest winter chores, from hauling brush to chopping firewood. The rest of the time? Wear ’em with the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker to head to the bar.

Technical and yet stylish is what you’re getting with this shirt jacket.

The good folks at Faherty Brand continue to up the ante when it comes to gear you can wear … just about anywhere. Made with water-resistant nylon, the Atmosphere Shirt Jacket is perfect to wear if you live in a climate where winter isn’t so harsh (say, on the California coast?)

Viberg Service Boots (Huckberry Exclusive) — $699

Exceptional leather boots that just won’t let you down.

If there’s one thing I know to be true — and I don’t know much — it’s that these rugged boots from Viberg are stellar, dependable & ready for the office and a casual weekend alike.

Ratio Eight Coffee Maker w/ Thermal Carafe & Coffee Cups — $696

One way to invest in making the best cup of coffee you’ll ever have.

Especially here in Brooklyn, I’m always on the hunt for a caffeine fix, but if I didn’t want to leave my apartment, I’d pick up the incredibly well-designed, simply beautiful Ratio Eight coffee maker. It could maybe help you make the best cup of coffee you’ll ever have.

Ace Rivington Athletic Taper Denim — $200

Haven’t tried out Ace Rivington denim? Change that now.

If you prefer denim that’s tailored but not skin-tight, a pair of classic men’s blue jeans that fit nicely and work anywhere, go with this pair. They’re an investment, but the rich indigo color and quality Italian cotton pay off.

Taylor Stitch Heavy Bag Waffle Henley in Heather Grey — $78

A thick, warm henley built to take on the toughest winter style challenges.

Made from upcycled cotton in a thick waffle knit, this rugged men’s henley from Taylor Stitch is warm & cozy, plus it’s easy to layer with flannel shirting or a warm winter parka.

Bespoke Post Tamed Box — $45 (When Signing Up for Bespoke Post)

The right grooming essentials at the right price.

Keeping your mane in check through the winter months is critical, no matter how gnarly it gets out there. The Bespoke Post Tamed Box features both men’s grooming essentials and small, considered details (like a straight razor) for a perfect shave.

Thursday Boots Wingtip Boots in Caramel — $220

Another pair of must-have brown boots, made for dressier occasions.

I’ve previously tested out the Wingtip Boots in Waterproof Suede from Thursday Boots, but these handsom leather boots in a rich shade of Caramel are absolutely too good to pass up. Wear them as often as you can this winter — they can handle it.

WP Standard Military Duffel — $339

A beautifully crafted duffel that’ll only age more nicely with time.

You really can turn to timeless military silhouettes for rugged gear that works for today’s modern man — like this absurdly beautiful, surprisingly affordable rugged leather duffel from WP Standard (one of my favorite brands).

Zodiac Grandville Watch — $495

A dressy take on the rugged Zodiac watch.

You surely know Zodiac for the brand’s exceptional Super Sea Wolf Watch, but how about the Zodiac Grandville Watch? It’s a classic leather dress watch with all the functionality you need for winter travel and the office.

Bridge & Burn Fielding Denim Cotton Overshirt — $188

The type of cotton overshirt you’re going to want to wear over a classic T-shirt or a warm thermal shirt.

When you find a brand that makes rugged gear that resists changing trends, you stick with ’em. I’ve certainly found that to be the case with my friends at Portland’s own Bridge & Burn. The Fielding Denim Cotton Overshirt is the perfect mid-layer atop a classic henley.

Michter’s US 1 Kentucky Straight Bourbon — Price Varies

Made to exacting specifications — perfect for New Year’s Eve, for yourself or your host.

Planning a New Year’s Eve party (responsibly)? Hosting a second (or third) Christmas? Want to impress your guests with a rich, warming bourbon that harkens back to the first whiskey produced by this lauded brand? Track down some Michter’s — I’ve been taste-testing (ahem) over these past few weeks, and can’t say enough about the rich caramel and vanilla notes.

Faherty Brand Fair Isle Crew in Mixed Indigo — $248

Indigo gives this crewneck a uniquely rich pattern.

We’re back at it with more stylish gear from Faherty Brand, this time featuring a simply unbeatable classic indigo crewneck in a neat Fair Isle print. Perfect for winter weekends upstate … or anywhere, really.

PILLBOX Bat Co. “Join or Die” Bat — $245

Something a little more unique to hang on the wall of your home or office.

Is this vintage baseball bat from PILLBOX Bat Co. — featuring some seriously cool artwork — completely necessary for your home, apartment or office? Not entirely. Is it a neat last-minute gift? Assuredly.

Today’s post on the best men’s style essentials to end this month really did have it all, didn’t it? At least, I hope that’s what you thought. What was your favorite gear pick? I can never resist the chance to feature some tough Viberg leather boots. With all that being said, have a great rest of your holiday and thanks for reading!
