The Sunday Sale: These Durable, On-Sale Forsake Boots from Bespoke Post Are Perfect for Winter Adventures

Best outdoor boots for men.

Especially in these brisk winter months, the focus is almost always on building an outfit from the ground up, or at least, an outfit to take on the elements. Blustery snow drifts, slick city streets and frigid mornings on upstate getaways call for one thing, and one thing only — a pair of the best winter boots, like the kind my friends at Bespoke Post sell.

Or at the very least, you should certainly have your heart set on boots with enough traction and performance to get you from point A to point B when the situation calls for it, and that’s where we step off the trail and into today’s post in earnest.

And when you really get down to it, those boots had better be waterproof, traction-ready and tough as heck — the good news is, the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots are all of that and then some. Oh, and since this is a Sunday at The Style Guide, they also happen to be on sale — just in the nick of time, right?

While the performance-focused Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots aren’t as insulated as a pair of shearling boots or even some faux-fur or shearling L.L. Bean Boots, they’re a worthy option if there’s not a foot of snow on the ground, especially if your winter pursuits call for sporting adventures and casually rugged style.

They boast the modern appeal of sneakers and the functionality of hiking boots, and it doesn’t hurt that the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots are 40 percent off right now at Bespoke Post — good news indeed for your wallet after the holiday rush, right?

They’re also as functionally minded as it gets, from the taped seams on the leather and heathered textile upper to the durable MultiGrip rubber outsole and compression EVA midsole — talk about comfort and traction to the max, my friends.

For good measure, recycled PET laces and linings add a sustainable touch, and it doesn’t hurt that these boots still boast a rather streamlined profile compared to other hiking boots on the market. Plus, come springtime, the Forsake Cascade Peak Mid Boots will be more than ready to take on that first lovely trail hike when the snow melts — at 40 percent off right now, that doesn’t sound like a bad way to plan for the present or the future, right?

The Sunday Sale: You Can Only Get these Blundstone Boots at Huckberry, and they’re On Sale Right Now

In my experience, it’s often nice to know you can turn to a go-to, essential pair of boots time and again without missing a beat –not unlike my trusty Blundstone boots, which I wear about as often as possible (and which you can conveniently find online with just a few clicks via famed retailer Huckberry).

You see, when bad weather strikes, when all-day comfort is key and when casually rugged style is of the essence — which it often is here on this Brooklyn style blog — then a pair of Blundstone Chelsea boots just plain old work, at least in my experience.

Best Blundstone boots for men.

And if you haven’t dipped your toes, literally, into an on-trend yet classic pair of Blundstone boots, my friends at Huckberry have precisely what you need: That is to say, they’re now selling the Huckberry-exclusive Blundstone 2406 Suede Chelsea Boots, and it’s your lucky day.

How so, Well, those rugged Chelsea work boots are on sale, and at more than 30 percent off, they’re a downright steal (an understatement, of course).

The Blundstone 2406 Suede Chelsea Boots rethink what you thought you knew about the style — first off, they’re built with water-resistant suede, rather than a suede leather that’s difficult to care for when inclement weather rolls around.

They also boast a shock-absorbent, extremely cushioned outsole, the kind that I love for its rebound, support and grip. The Blundstone 2406 Suede Chelsea Boots come in a wear-with-practically-anything shade of dark tan Sepia, while front and back pull tabs make for an easy-on, easy-off wearing experience.

They’re sturdy enough for work, stylish enough for a night strolling cobblestone streets in search of an Old Fashioned, and certainly worthy of your hard-earned cash given the fact that the Blundstone 2406 Suede Chelsea Boots are on sale right now at Huckberry, just in time for winter, the holidays and well beyond.

The Sunday Sale: Shop Early and Often at the Luxe Aether Apparel Black Friday Sale

Aether Apparel Black Friday sale 2024.

For as crowded as it seems the market is with the best Black Friday deals right now, there are still plenty of gems to be found as you scour the landscape for savings and style.

In my view, the sweet spot is when a brand that doesn’t typically go on sale — if at all — drops some serious savings seemingly out of nowhere. And right now on this fine Sunday ahead of a holiday week, the brand in my line of sight is Aether Apparel and its current Black Friday Sale.

The Aether Apparel Black Friday Sale is a sight to behold, with savings of up to 30 percent on some of the best technical outerwear and gear around. The Los Angeles company is perhaps best known for its selection of durable, outdoor-ready jackets, the kind that can seamlessly, stylish and subtly transition from the trail back into town without missing a beat.

The offering right now via the can’t-miss Aether Apparel Black Friday Sale covers a standout range of styles, functionality and materials, from down-fill jackets to lightweight rain shells, wind-ready zip-ups, insulated hoodies and rugged shirt jackets.

You’ll find a series of sleek yet eye-catching snow shells and ski jackets, each seemingly cooler than the last, and the collection covers both men’s and women’s outerwear and gear.

The Aether Apparel Black Friday Sale only runs through December 2nd, but in my view, that’s more than enough time to get ample savings on some of the best men’s outerwear, jackets and gear on the market. Ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, this gem of a deal seems to be calling your name, I’d say.

The Sunday Sale: These Stylish Sanders Boots are Up for Grabs at a Steal from Huckberry

I often turn to reliable classics in my style wardrobe as the temperature plummets, and that’s perhaps on display more than ever as I consider a selection of the best men’s boots for rugged refinement, versatility, comfort and a bit of work (and yes, play as well).

I’ve often found that the good folks at Huckberry have a knack for stocking and selling some of the best boots for men, including the Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots as seen above. These apron derby boots, so name for their open lacing system and moc toe construction, hit the right notes between rugged and refined in pleasing fashion, with a profile that can be dressed up or dressed down with ease.

Sanders men's boots review.

Better still when it comes to the easily wearable Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots is their durability — an unlined leather upper should break in wonderfully as the insole molds to your foot over time, with a design that’s neither too streamlined nor too rugged.

Note the studded rubber outsole for added traction, plus other carefully handcrafted touches that could only come from a family-owned British shoemaker with generations of experience in the category.

That means that, at least in my experience, you can style the Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots with everything from wool trousers and a herringbone blazer to cuffed selvedge jeans, a thermal henley and the famed Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket for expert seasonal style.

We haven’t even covered off on the best part — the Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots are on sale right now via Huckberry in a rich shade of brown leather for the ultimate in seasonal style, particularly as you look for tips on how to dress for Thanksgiving (for instance).

The Sanders Wilson Apron Derby Boots happen to be about 25 percent off as we speak, so it’s no wonder they’re selling quickly at the moment to guys who want versatility and dependability in boots, in spades. Lace ’em up and see what wonders they can work in your winter wardrobe.

The Sunday Sale: Score Savings of 50 Percent On This Iconic Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket

Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket review.

It’s often a wise bet to rely on tried-and-true, heritage staples in your men’s style rotation — the type of pieces that never really go out of fashion, that serve a truly functional purpose and that, yes, tend to look pretty darn cool at the right moment.

The Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket fits that mold quite nicely, in my book, with roots dating back to, well, 1936 — original iterations of the jacket were created for alpine explorers, and here at lower elevation, it remains one of the best bomber jackets for men. In fact, the Eddie Bauer Skyliner Jacket is such a seriously cool piece that modern Americana menswear masters Buck Mason teamed up with Eddie Bauer last year on an update to the silhouette.

Talk about true style pedigree, and current editions of the Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket are still very much worthy of your consideration — especially when on sale (more on that in a moment).

It’s an upgrade in terms of looks from a more streamlined (yet no less useful) puffer jacket, which you might commonly wear on the slopes or on the trail. But within the confines of the Eddie Bauer sale section, you’ll find a truly legendary piece of outerwear, one that merges old-school roots with modern materials.

And right now, my friends, the Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket is on sale for about 50 percent off. Yes sir, 50 percent off — not a bad way to refresh your fall and winter outerwear, ehh?

The Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket gets all the specs right in terms of durability, using 650-fill power premium down in a durable diamond-quilted design for just the right amount of warmth. In my experience, the Skyliner Jacket wears comfortably over a wool sweater or a thermal henley without overdoing it.

More crucial right now in the autumn cold is the fact that this jacket uses ribbed knitting at the collar, cuffs and hem for a secure fit and added warmth. And its classic fit means you can comfortably layer the Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket without feeling too constricted. It hits on the right notes in terms of for, and function, thanks to neutral colors like Black, Mushroom and Spruce.

Those earth tones are all the better to style it with shades ranging from chambray blue shirting to black jeans and even light tan stretch chinos. It’s suitable for camping trips and the trail, as well as fall lakeside outings (as I paired up with my Eddie Bauer 1936 Skyliner Jacket last autumn). And once again, this modern iteration of a famed jacket is now 50 percent off — sounds to me like it’s the right time to layer up in style, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Taylor Stitch Oxford Shirt is Now 40 Percent Off in Time for Classic Fall Style

When one of my favorite brands — and yours — ends up delivering a standout deal on a tried-and-true style staple, I tend to pay close attention (and clear some space in my closet, too). If you feel the same way, then today’s standout Sunday Sale (say that five times fast) is one worth watching and shopping, all thanks to my friends at Taylor Stitch.

The Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt is a personal favorite, a shirt that channels the classic style of an Oxford buttondown in some unexpected ways when it comes to color and pattern — like the dusty Baked Clay Plaid option shown above right now.

It’s but one stylish men’s shirt you can now find at a discount in the Taylor Stitch Last Call section, and it’s marked down not a moment too soon for versatile, dependable autumnal style.

When it comes to the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, the details make the difference, particularly in terms of a wear-with-anything, anytime 100 percent organic cotton Oxford fabric build. That fabric is also garment-washed for a lived-in look and feel, and the sort of comfort I value right out of the box.

Details like a crisp buttondown collar — the kind that nicely frames your face — make the difference, and touches like a chest pocket really drive home the classic Oxford shirt styling potential. And as with every edition of the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt, it’s cut in the brand’s chest sizing options, all the better for a nicely tailored fit with a high armhole.

And no matter which edition of the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt you end up selecting at a discount via this Taylor Stitch sale offering, you’re getting the type of shirt that simply looks great tucked in or untucked, paired up with soft-washed chinos or hard-wearing selvedge denim.

At under $80 right now, you might not find a better everyday buttondown shirt than the Taylor Stitch Jack Shirt.

The Sunday Sale: This Filson Sport Shirt Is Nearly 50 Percent Off at Huckberry Right Now

Filson men's sport shirt review.

If you peruse the pages of this Brooklyn style blog on the regular, you’ll know that I tend to favor classic brands with a penchant for durability, versatility and long-lasting quality. Of course, many of the wares sold by my friends at Huckberry fit the bill, as do the rugged menswear essentials sold by Filson.

So when the two come together — as with the Filson Twin Lakes Sport Shirt shown above — the results are nothing short of a must-buy, particularly as we hit the heart of the fall season. It’s part of a slew of menswear selections up for grabs via the Huckberry Sale section that you can put to good use right now, something I also value when scouring the market for the best gear for guys.

And while it’s not as burly or thick-knit in terms of construction as other Filson men’s shirts, I’d wager you’ll find plenty of use for its moisture-wicking polyester-nylon construction — particularly when worn atop a thermal shirt and beneath a waxed field jacket.

The Filson Twin Lakes Sport Shirt is up for grabs via Huckberry right now for close to 50 percent off, a downright steal considering it comes in a wear-with-nearly-anything Dark Olive Drab color. And with two front-button chest pockets and an interior utility pocket, your everyday carry essentials are close at hand, no matter the situation. For the right blend of utility and layering-ready fall style, I’d wager the Filson Twin Lakes Sport Shirt — especially on sale right now — is about as reliable a bet as you can make on this fine Sunday.

The Sunday Sale: These Flint and Tinder Work Pants are Up for Grabs at a Discount in Time For Fall

At times, you’ve got to keep your ear to the ground — or a weather eye on the horizon — to find a discount on the best men’s style essentials, the sort of pieces you can actually wear immediately in a given season.

That is to say, while some retailers shop past seasonal wares (say, selling spring gear in the fall), some retailers, like Huckberry, offer up discounts on goods that can be put to good use right away — like a pair of the best work pants for men, as shown above from Flint and Tinder.

We’re diving into the pair in question during today’s Sunday Sale with plenty of time to spare in terms of rugged fall style and wearability, and the fact that these durable men’s work pants are nearly 50 percent off is a nice added bonus indeed.

Look closely, and you’ll see that the Flint and Tinder Ripstop Mill Pants are based on an archival pair of U.S. Army pants, and outfitted with plenty of helpful bells and whistles.

Best work pants for men this fall.

Those include a cotton-linen ripstop blend for intense durability and yet a lightweight appeal — until temperatures drop drastically, these pants should prove an ample substitute at times for heavier canvas work pants.

They’re also double-lined in the knees, and Huckberry doubled down by reinforcing the pockets and key stress pants. The fit should provide ample room to move — no matter your fall pursuits — and the style points are there for rugged off-duty pursuits, like brewery beers or apple orchard strolls.

A pair of work pants in a rich earthen shade, the kind that are stylish enough to wear in your downtime and hard-wearing enough to pass muster for outdoor fall projects? Sign me up, and be sure to add this pair to your cart while they’re still up for grabs in the Huckberry Sale section, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: These Handcrafted Yuketen Shoes are a Rugged Fall Favorite (At a Discount from Huckberry)

As I assemble my wardrobe of the best fall style essentials (often from a retailer like Huckberry, of course), I tend to look for unexpected picks that riff on old favorites. For instance, take the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers as shown above.

They do indeed riff on an old favorite, the loafer, while retaining some of the same qualities as the three-eye moc toe boot or chukka. What’s better is they happen to be on sale via the Huckberry Sale section, for a tidy 30 percent discount, but let’s keep on taking a closer look, shall we?

They contain multitudes, as the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers just might have more in common with a loafer or the traditional blucher dress shoe, including an ankle-length height and a lower profile. But look again and that moc-toe stitching stands out handsomely — fall footwear favorites, indeed.

Best men's footwear for fall.

That sort of versatility, combined with a rugged look and feel from the classic Northeast footwear maker, puts these hybrid shoes into a unique category: Heritage footwear with a mix of modern and old-school appeal.

The full leather insole shapes to your foot over time, a nice handcrafted touch, while the tassle detailing adds some old-school appeal. The rich leather will patina handsomely over time, and the camp sole is another personal favorite in terms of comfort and distinctive looks. If you want shoes that can stand up to thicker fall fabrics and textures, the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers could be a wise move, my friends.

And for moccasins that call to mind the 1950s and ’60s, there’s still an instant appeal in terms of casual style. Of course, it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers are now 30 percent off via our friends at Huckberry. Fall fashion just got even cooler, my friends.

To me, that means the Yuketen Italian Blucher Loafers wear as well with cozy corduroy pants and a chambray shirt as they do with trusty indigo blue jeans and your favorite henley – they’re chunky enough to stand up to more rugged silhouettes, and unlike some slipper-esque loafers, they’re certainly stylish enough to serve as both house shoes and daily footwear.
