The Sunday Sale: Save On this Summer-Ready Travel Blazer from Proof & Huckberry

It’s a men’s style challenge we tend to talk about a lot here on the blog: How to stay cool in the heat while looking stylish. The age-old question tends to rear its head more frequently than ever, especially here travel and where summer style soirees aplenty are concerned, but there are solutions, even as far as wearing a suit in the heat is concerned.

One way to beat the heat in style? A handsome tailored option like the Proof Nomad Blazer as sold by our friends at Huckberry, one built with style, comfort and travel-ready good looks in mind.

Especially as someone who hits the road frequently, traveling light is of the essence — sometimes, you simply don’t have enough room to pack up your blazer, and sometimes, duty calls (or at least, dinner and drinks) as soon as you touch down.

And this is where an on-sale option — built with style and performance in mind, of course — like the Proof Nomad Blazer comes in mighty handy. Select colorways of this crisp and highly comfortable blazer are marked down well below $200 as we speak, and the perfect blend of savings and style is a tough thing to pass up. Even more impressive when it comes to your new favorite blazer is the way Huckberry’s Proof line built this crisply tailored jacket.

Crucially, they’ve designed it with the classic looks of a two-button, patch pocket blazer — made to be worn atop everything from a merino T-shirt to a stretch Oxford shirt and a crisp dress shirt. At the same time, the Proof Nomad Blazer boasts a remarkably high level of performance, using wrinkle-resistant recycled polyester and polyester fabric in a blend that also resists spills (it’s even finished with a DWR coating for easy wear on the go in blustery weather).

The best part about the Proof Nomad Blazer might be the fact that it’s packed with travel-friendly pockets, including interior hip mesh pockets, two zip pockets, a stash pocket and a chest pocket. It’s a classically designed blazer in terms of looks, yet packed with modern performance features. And yes, this stylish lightweight men’s blazer is on sale now from your favorite retailer. Act accordingly to end the weekend, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: These Stylish Leather Chukka Boots from Astorflex & Huckberry Are On Sale

Best men's leather chukka boots.

In any rotation of the best footwear for men, multi-season versatility is often crucial. So while your winter boots are long stowed away in favor of crisp canvas sneakers, for instance, there are stylish men’s shoes that stand the test of time and prove handy in both warmer weather and colder climes.

If you ask me, a pair of the best leather chukka boots for men can prove quite handy in the spring and summer — just as in the fall and winter. And the good folks at Astorflex (as sold by Huckberry, of course) rise to the occasion quite handily with multiple styles — one of which just so happens to be on sale today, my friends.

We’ve talked recently about how Astorflex boat shoes are a distinctive style upgrade, and if you’ve been reading the pages of this Brooklyn style blog, you’ll also have come across other Astorflex reviews over the years (it seems the company has been a staple at Huckberry for a decade now).

And now, the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots are getting a nice markdown (about 20 percent) to add some character to your office wardrobe, and even a touch of variety to your off-duty wardrobe with dark blue jeans and a pocket tee, for instance.

The Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots boast a sleek but not overly dressy profile — they can pair with olive chinos seamlessly, for instance, but they’ll work just as well with black jeans or linen trousers. The Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots also happen to be developed exclusively for Huckberry, which is never a bad thing to have close at hand in your rotation of the best boots for men.

The Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots feature a classic two-eye chukka boot build, and the leather-lined upper is set atop a stacked rubber heel and a custom last. The leather lining in particular should prove especially supple, molding to your foot over time. Two sets of laces provide a touch of variety, although you can also swap in your own laces (I myself prefer waxed cotton laces for a slightly dressy finish).

Contrast stitching along the upper sets the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots apart in subtle fashion, while the profile of these shoes works for wearing with a more casual summer suit or business casual ensembles. Plus, the fact that the Astorflex Brownflex Chukka Boots are marked down to $180 right now isn’t half-bad, either. When you want to make a subtle switch-up from the everyday this spring and summer, opt for handsome leather chukka boots, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Todd Snyder Field Shirt is Wildly Discounted and Perfect for Cool Spring Nights

Some deals just come along that are too good, at least on the surface, to pass up. And some of the best menswear deals live up to that billing handily, too: Quality meets affordability, particularly among your favorite menswear brands.

For a dash of luxury, a hit of functional spring layering and some seasonal style with attitude — at the right price — we turn today towards Todd Snyder, award-winning menswear designer and a man on a mission to take over your wardrobe.

Snyder’s foray into menswear now results in everything from durable henleys to expertly faded jeans, soft-yet-sturdy flannel shirts and of course, an array of breezy spring and summer tailored essentials. But before we get into the high heat of summer, a few choice layers are still of the essence — like the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt shown above. First off: Speaking of a deal, it’s a whopping 76 percent off right now in an array of sizes.

Next up: Its utility, which comes in the form of a cotton corduroy build. While corduroy is traditionally found in the colder climes of fall and winter, the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt can still prove useful when things cool off on spring evenings, or when a spring day dawns unexpectedly chilly.

The great thing about the luxe build of the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt is that it just so happens to combine the rugged appeal of an overshirt with the sleek look of black corduroy — you could even wear this shirt atop a grey or white Oxford shirt as a daring substitute for a blazer.

Either way, I’d say the Todd Snyder Corduroy Field Shirt is a fun piece to experiment with — it can also pull double-duty in the colder months worn over a turtleneck shirt. The designer calls it “the best of both worlds,” and it’s hard to argue with that sentiment — with dark blue jeans or with olive chinos, it’ll look dashing and pleasingly rugged. And remember: While it’s a change of pace, this handsome field shirt is a whopping 76 percent off right now. If I were you, I’d certainly give it a shot.

The Sunday Sale: Shop Devium’s Spring Cleanup Sale for the Best Deals on USA-Made Menswear

Best USA-made menswear.

As we often say here on this Brooklyn style blog, they don’t often make ’em like they used to when it comes to the best USA-made menswear (especially American-made menswear, my friends). It’s more expensive to manufacture in the United States, the materials used are of higher quality, more durable, built to last and ultimately, more stylish.

Add it all together, and the best menswear deals are hard to find when it comes to gear produced in the U.S. of A. But for a limited time only, Devium is changing that with its covetable, simply outstanding Spring Cleanup Sale.

We’ve explored this finely crafted American-made menswear brand in past Devium reviews on the blog, and the brand really talks the talk and walks the walk, so to speak. From cozy flannel shirts to tough canvas work pants, subtly stylish American-made T-shirts, classic thermal henleys and even stretch terry sweatshorts for laidback weekend lounging, Devium menswear hits all the right notes in terms of classic Americana inspiration. That goes for categories as wide-ranging as sportswear, workwear and plain old must-haves, like a USA-made T-shirt.

On that note, I’m particularly a fan of the Devium Sidewalk Vintage T-shirt, hand-stitched with careful detailing and made with North Carolina-grown cotton in a perfect 4.5oz. weight. That should give this handsome T-shirt a flatterinng look and feel in a range of neutral yet vibrant colors.

The Devium Sidewalk Vintage T-shirt is, of course, a more leisurely option for warmer weather, but standouts like its Deadeye Waxed Canvas Trucker Jacket, plus an array of quilted flannel workshirts, sturdy canvas work pants and durable camp collar work shirts should give plenty of other favorites in your wardrobe a run for their money.

Speaking of money, well, the Devium Spring Cleanup Sale only runs through tomorrow night (that’s May 5th, folks), but it’s certainly worth taking a good, long look at the brand’s USA-made wares. Savings like this — on domestically made menswear in a wide range of categories — are hard to come by, but not with the stellar Devium Spring Cleanup Sale — take advantage while these savings stick around.

The Sunday Sale: This Lightweight Relwen Blazer from Huckberry Is On Sale Right Now

There’s something to be said for being prepared for plenty of style situations, particularly as breezy spring and summer weather offers up the chance to get out there: Rooftop happy hours, dinners on the water, refined social occasions aplenty. Those style scenarios, of course, can be elevated and made all the better by one of the best blazers for men, especially the famed Relwen Flyweight Flex Blazer as sold by our friends at Huckberry.

And as I so often say here on this Brooklyn style blog, when something as essential for spring and summer as one of the best men’s lightweight blazers goes on sale, well, striking while the iron is hot is certainly crucial (particularly in this economy, am I right or am I right, folks?).

There’s much to love about the Relwen Flyweight Flex Blazer, at least according to plenty of Relwen reviews, be it the soft yet durable garment-washed cotton and spandex blend or the build inspired by classic sportcoats (note the throat latch and the five-button front in particular).

The Relwen Flyweight Flex Blazer is also bolstered by cotton sateen trim to give it some shape and structure, while the lack of interior lining offers a handsome natural silhouette — the kind of blazer that can be worn as easily over a T-shirt as it pairs with a rugged chambray shirt or a timeless Oxford shirt. Patch pockets also give the Relwen Flyweight Flex Blazer a more laidback, yet classic feel, while the unique structure means you can turn the collar up and button the throat latch in breezy weather if need be.

The Relwen Flyweight Flex Blazer functions as a go-between when it comes to the perfect travel jacket, and the ideal blazer to wear to drinks at your next destination. Available in three eye-catching colors (including Dark Army, my personal favorite), this hybrid blazer is an on-sale seasonal steal for your next elevated #OOTD.

The Sunday Sale: Save 50 Percent On This Essential Quilted Chore Coat from Bespoke Post & Line of Trade

Best men's chore coats for spring.

The right tools for the job, if the job is dressing stylishly yet functionally for spring, shouldn’t be overlooked — not least when blustery, brisk weather threatens. And even if a spring day starts out pleasantly enough, it can quickly take a turn.

What’s a well-dressed fella such as yourself to do? The answer is easy: Head to Bespoke Post to score some new spring menswear, take the problem out before it becomes a problem, and do so by layering up in rugged, functional, fashionable style. With spring style essentials at the ready, the quest gets all the easier, and — as I always tend to say on this Brooklyn style blog — if those style essentials happen to be on sale, that’s all the better.

And today’s discount is one not to be missed: Savings of 50 percent — yes, 50 percent, with plenty of sizes available — on a rugged chore coat built with plenty of useful bells and whistles. The chore coat hails from Line of Trade, the all-American brand first started by Bespoke Post and now operating on its own accord (as you might have seen from previous Line of Trade reviews on this blog).

The brand has a deep respect for Americana heritage style, from ridiculously warm trucker jackets to soft flannel shirts, sturdy-yet-supple sweaters and now, the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat as seen on this blog. The Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat takes the traditional chore coat construction (in this case featuring a four-button front) and turns it on its head slightly with a more lightweight, all-ripstop construction that’s more than suited to repel wind and rain.

Traditional patch pockets — with a twist — round out the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat (note the notched corners for more shape and durability). As Bespoke Post notes, this dashing chore coat features vertical quilting for a finish that’s streamlined, not bulky, while still delivering warmth when layered over a thermal henley and chambray shirt.

The details are finished to perfection, from the rivets on the front patch pockets to an interior right chest pocket for more everyday carry storage space.

Given the utility and rugged good looks you’re getting out of the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat, it’s almost a wonder it’s a remarkable 50 percent off right now. Stop your search early for your next must-have spring chore coat, because the Line of Trade Timber Quilted Chore Coat fits the bill perfectly.

The Sunday Sale: This Flint and Tinder Quilted Chore Coat is a Menswear Bargain for Spring Layering

If you’ve been on the hunt for the best spring style essentials, perhaps you feel like you’ve unlocked a sort of menswear formula of sorts. Rugged quality, longevity and style points should be top of mind in that formula, particularly as you take on spring wind and rain, and a dependable jacket goes a long way. A dependable jacket from the likes of Huckberry, you might say?

Yes indeed, one with a reliable silhouette — the build of the humble chore coat — and the right fabrication to back up can make a big difference as you layer up this season, and if you’ve read this Brooklyn style blog over the years, you know the drill.

In fact, you might find just what you’re looking for in the Flint and Tinder Quilted Chore Coat, a casually cool, durable outerwear addition that just so happens to be on sale at Huckberry this fine Sunday. The famed Americana retailer is well-known for its standout Flint and Tinder line, which takes cues from workwear of days gone by, including the humble trucker jacket, the flannel workshirt and now, a fresh take on the chore coat.

Reliable technical specifications lead the way with the latest inspired offering from Huckberry, including warm (but not bulky) PrimaLoft insulation and a sturdy DWR-finished waxed exterior. Snap buttons keep out wind and rain while making for an easygoing (yet functional) wearing experience with the Flint and Tinder Quilted Chore Coat.

It’s cut longer than the brand’s legendary trucker jackets, ideal for keeping out spring’s worst weather, while the fold-up collar of the Flint and Tinder Quilted Chore Coat also offers ample protection from the elements.

And because this is the Sunday Sale feature, after all, you’d do well to know the Flint and Tinder Quilted Chore Coat is marked down $50 (to $148 from $198). Throw in a versatile color on offer in a crisp, wear-with-nearly-anything Navy, and you’re looking at perhaps your new favorite casual spring men’s jacket.

Four pockets (one interior, three exterior) provide helpful storage space for your everyday carry essentials, and you can adjust the snap cuffs on the Flint and Tinder Quilted Chore Coat as needed for extra protection this spring.

The Sunday Sale: This Merino Polo from Huckberry Blends Performance and Style (At a Discount)

Best polo shirts for men.

When you scour the market for the best spring style essentials, what do you look for? Do you look for picks that blend the best of utility with performance and effortlessly cool style? That’s the mission of this blog, after all, and it all comes together in one expertly cut polo shirt — one that’s nicely priced at a discount — from our friends at Huckberry.

Think of it like your favorite polo shirt, just done up with performance fabric and the same wear-with-anything design, from the office to the links and back.

You’ll find it among a host of spring style must-haves priced to sell in the Huckberry Sale section, from crisp chinos to stylish lounge shorts, loafers and essentials for the home, but let’s dive into what makes the Proof 72-Hour Merino Polo Shirt so special (and so needed for your own wardrobe).

As Huckberry tells it, your new favorite polo shirt is a cut above, featuring “thermoregulating, odor-resistant, moisture-wicking Australian merino wool,” the kind that wicks away sweat, keeps you cool and serves a long-lasting purpose (Huckberry puts selections like the aptly named Proof 72-Hour Merino Polo Shirt through 72 hours of wear testing, after all).

All the classic details you need in a versatile polo remain, including a three-button placket — this time, the Proof 72-Hour Merino Polo Shirt is finished with matte black snap buttons for a low-key, subtly stylish look.

Nylon is used at key stress points to give the Proof 72-Hour Merino Polo Shirt some durability and a clean look — the kind that allows this handsome performance polo to be worn tucked in with stretch chinos or untucked with comfortable lounge shorts and leather loafers at a weekend BBQ.

It’s even finished with UPF30+ sun protection, the sort of detail that Huckberry never seems to overlook. How’s that for the right mix of performance, style and effortless cool? Not bad at all, my friends.

And given the fact that the Proof 72-Hour Merino Polo Shirt is marked down below $70 on sale, it’s also high time to take advantage of a wear-with-anything, go-anywhere polo shirt from the menswear masters at Huckberry.

The Sunday Sale: Step Into Spring with These Stylish, On-Sale Sunglasses from Huckberry

And so it’s refreshing to this Brooklyn style writer to come across the Walden Eyewear Passage Sunglasses at nearly 50 percent off via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section. As the famed adventure and Americana retailer says, its sunglasses line is “all about stripping away unnecessary details in favor of simplicity,” and that includes using sustainable materials in this clean, simple and versatile silhouette.

The build of the Walden Eyewear Passage Sunglasses is similar to a pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers in terms of subtly stylish, classic looks, while the frames themselves are fashioned from sustainable “green nylon” material. The handsome and effortlessly cool Walden Eyewear Passage Sunglasses also feature details like 100 percent UVA/UVB protection in lens form, plus a sleek tapered temple shape and five-barrel riveted hinges for added durability.

When you dive into crisply designed details plus Huckberry’s trademark penchant for durability, it’s a wonder the Walden Eyewear Passage Sunglasses are on sale for less than $70, a whopping discount given the fact that you can assuredly wear your new favorite sunglasses for years to come.

And for about 50 percent off, these dependable frames can be yours — just in time for spring and summer style moves aplenty, my friends.
