The Tuesday Steal: Grab, Go and Save with this Sleek Herschel Supply Co. Duffle This Summer

Summer style and summer travel are assuredly ramping up, are they not? Before you can properly get out there and make the most of the season — boating days on the lake, beach strolls, day hikes, brewery beers and more (so much more!), you’ve got to get your favorite gear there in one piece.

And while there are times where you’ll want to pack in a bit more refined manner — say, as you pack up your suit for a summer wedding — there are plentiful opportunities where grab-and-go style is the name of the game, especially if the great outdoors are calling. And if the gear you’re seeking out happens to be on sale, as this minimal duffle bag is via Herschel Supply, it’s time to chalk up another win, I’d say.

When you get the urge to hit the road and want a reliable bag to carry you from point A to point B, I’d wager you’re going to want something weather-ready, stylish and hard-working — something like the Herschel Supply Co. All Season Duffle. The company is perhaps best known for its abrasion-resistant nylon and canvas bags, with colorful straps and expert fabrication. The company’s diamond lash tab is also easy to spot, and yes, it indeed makes an appearance on this sleek performance duffle bag. Let’s carry on, shall we?

The All Season Duffle ramps things up in outdoor-friendly fashion, and it’s helpful that it should prove every bit as functional as other bags in your rotation (like Patagonia’s similarly designed offerings, for instance). 100 percent recycled polyester fabric gives this durable duffle bag its performance chops, and you’re going to need every bit of that performance as you get out of town and venture upstate or off-grid this summer.

This minimal duffle bag, which boasts a nicely sized 41 liters of carrying capacity, is packed with performance features aplenty, like daisy chain webbing across the exterior (all the better for attaching outdoor gear), plus an easy-to-clean and weather-resistant 100 percent polyester lining. The rugged appeal of the Herschel Supply Co. All Season Duffle is a major bonus — you needn’t worry about this performance men’s duffle bag getting too beat up.

The modular design of this do-it-all duffle bag even features modular snaps and a variety of straps for easy pairing with roller bags, while the base is water-resistant and a storage sleeve plus an exterior zipper pocket further bolster its valuable storage space. As with other Herschel Supply reviews, it seems like the brand has considered every detail for outdoor exploration — the savings, style and performance appeal of the Herschel Supply Co. All Season Duffle are now yours for the taking this season, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Step Up Your Everyday Carry with this Sturdy Mack Weldon Tote Bag This Summer — For a Discount

For as much thought as you put into your menswear wardrobe — how to dress for a beach day or a BBQ, how to hit the road in style — it’s often just as important to think about how you’re hauling your gear and your favorite men’s style essentials from point A to point B. That includes both the gear you pack up for long-haul trips as well as your ever-trusty everyday carry essentials.

Shop Billy Reid for Mens and Womens Clothing and Apparel


And as a guy frequently on the go, from coffee shop to brewery and back home, I tend to reach for sturdy, reliable daily carry picks I can trust. It’s a constant search, but when you find a winning selection — like the Mack Weldon Atlas Tote shown above — the search gets just a bit easier, my friends.

In fact, I’d wager whatever you need to haul for daily jaunts across town, Mack Weldon’s latest tote (marked down well below $100 — from $128) is up to the challenge.

That sense of trust and durability makes it all the easier and all the better to haul my laptop, my chargers, my favorite sunglasses (when not in use) and all the other pieces that make up the best everyday carry gear on the market (a stylish pen very much included).

And for as well-known as Mack Weldon tends to be for its ultra-comfortable men’s basics, don’t overlook selections like the Mack Weldon Atlas Tote, today’s discounted style selection with the chops to back it up.

Sleek style and minimal performance is the name of the game, and this functional tote delivers everything you require, and then some.

Fashioned from hard-wearing recycled polyester canvas, the Mack Weldon Atlas Tote should resist abrasions and rain handily, while two interior pockets offer valuable storage space for your laptop and electronics.

An exterior zipper pocket bolsters the carrying capacity of the Mack Weldon Atlas Tote, which features a reinforced bottom and sturdy webbed straps for seamless transport on the go.

Best tote bags for men.

It’s also hard not to appreciate the minimal nature of the Mack Weldon Atlas Tote — the Asphalt color in particular pairs up with just about any other colorways in your casual ensemble, a nice touch that makes for low-key, rather than overly loud, daily style for your everyday carry.

A shoulder strap (a removable one, at that!) delivers another carrying option from the office to the airport or the beach, and its  21” x 14” x 16” dimensions should prove handy and quite useful without proving too cumbersome.

If you put plenty of thought and value into your everyday carry and the essentials you trust, you’d do well to add the durable and nicely discounted Mack Weldon Atlas Tote to your daily gear haul this summer (and beyond!).

The Tuesday Steal: The Proof Rover EDC Shorts are Positively Primed for Summer Adventures Off Grid

Best adventure gear for men.

As you prepare to go off-grid this summer — down the trail, to the stream or perhaps just across town for a park stroll — the right gear (no, the best adventure gear for men) makes all the difference, does it not? Perfect preparation makes perfect, as they tend to say, whether gearing up for a day hike, pitching a tent for an overnight excursion or simply grabbing an icy cold one on a hot summer’s day.

And yet, for all those pursuits, it’s the ingenious touches large and small that deliver the goods in terms of all-day utility. Look no further than Huckberry and the in-house Proof lineup for adventure-ready durability and yes, ingenious design touches aplenty by way of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts.

Find out more about Proof now at Huckberry

Proof designs gear with performance, style and certainly, adventure in mind, focused on staples like its best-selling and real-world tested Proof Merino T-shirts and Pants, and in my experience, the Proof Performance Lined Swim Trunks are some of the best in the business when it comes to moisture-wicking, quick-drying performance (as the name would indicate), and durability.

But back to the Proof Rover EDC Shorts, developed with hauling your everyday carry essentials with ease and reliability, plus quick access, top of mind.

The rugged Proof Rover EDC Shorts (marked down now as part of the still-going Huckberry Memorial Day Weekend Sale) use Huckberry’s blend of cotton, Repreve TruTemp365 recycled polyester and lycra for breathability, abrasion resistance and reliability on and off the trail. And while the cut of these shorts is a chino short-esque 7 inches, these adventure shorts for men pack in more features than your average pair of seasonal shorts, to say the very least.

The Proof Rover EDC Shorts boast a whopping total of seven pockets of various sizes for everything from your keys and wallet to a pocket knife and other handy tools for adventures off-grid. The crotch is also gusseted for further range of movement, again on and of the trail. The Proof Rover EDC Shorts also feature sturdy hardware and just a touch of stretch across the fabric itself, while a right zipper pocket at the hip is especially useful for storing small valuables.

With the toughness fit for a day hike and the clean design of standard, stylish shorts, the Proof Rover EDC Shorts can just about do it all. Heck, even at full price, these Huckberry men’s shorts aren’t a bad steal — but if inky black is your color of choice, this pair of the Proof Rover EDC Shorts is marked down right now. Happy shopping and happy hiking, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Huckberry’s Classic Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are On Sale Now in Time For Prime Spring Style

There are difficult decisions to make in the menswear world — the right shade or style of suit to wear to a wedding, the best way to style a denim shirt, how to find a proper-fitting pair of shorts, and so on — and there are decisions that should be relatively easy. Or at least, decisions that can be made easier by knowing where and when to turn, and as it just so happens, figuring out your favorite pair of everyday pants can be made even easier than one might think.

Yes, it’s true, and it’s all thanks to the slew of menswear classics being served up by Huckberry in modern fashion — the best men’s pants are closer to your grasp than ever before, and they’re on sale today, my friends.

Find out more and shop now at Huckberry

I’m talking, of course, about the famed Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, an icon of the famed Americana menswear and gear brand, with the ability to be worn just about any way you can dream up. They’re a staple of the fan-favorite, in-house Huckberry brand, notable for blending the cut of a pair of five-pocket pants or classic chinos with the easygoing wearability of denim — all in a custom-made fabric developed by Huckberry with durability, stretch, shape and style all at the forefront. Enticing stuff these days, ehh?

And what’s even better, naturally, is that the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, at least in a crisp and dressy Dark Navy, are marked down below $80 right now at Huckberry. And as you look to build out your everyday menswear wardrobe, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants could prove the most versatile pair of pants you own.

Better still is the fact that the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants can be had for an additional 15 percent off if you buy two pairs at a time — something this Brooklyn menswear writer would certainly recommend. You’re also getting plenty of utility from this blend of a chino and a jean (truly made for 365 days of wear) — these stylish men’s pants come in five distinct fit options to suit every style and body type, while the midweight 8oz. brushed cotton twill fabric is offset by a touch of stretch for all day wearability.

And about that wearability and utility: The Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are as easy to wear with a soft-shouldered blazer and an Oxford shirt as they are with a henley and a light wash denim trucker jacket this season, while they’re also a more-than-suitable option alongside a cotton polo with leather loafers in the warmer months.

My friends at Huckberry perhaps said it best when it comes down to these easily wearable, everyday men’s pants: “The 65 Chino Pant is cut like a chino and stretches like a performance pant.” It sounds simple on the surface, but Huckberry has perfected that formula — try a pair of the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants while they’re on sale, and see that for yourself, my friends.

For every time you feel like splurging a little bit on, say, one of the best men’s jackets for spring, there are times when it’s wise to keep your pocketbook in check and instead seek out menswear essentials that still feel like a bit of a splurge, yet offer you stylish looks at a fair price. And while award-winning menswear designer Billy Reid is a luxurious step up from more affordable everyday menswear brands, there are discounts aplenty if you know where to look — as in the Billy Reid Sale section, of course.

The designer doesn’t normally run sales, but lately, there have been some stylish menswear gems tucked away in the Billy Reid Sale section, like the fashionable yet functional Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo as shown above. It’s your lucky day, as we like to say, because this polo is up for grabs in time to serve as both a polished daily staple and a reasonable choice when it’s just a bit too breezy this spring to go with a full-on, traditional short-sleeve polo.

Look closely, and I think you’ll find the Billy Reid Pensacola Long-Sleeve Polo is as wearable on its own as it is beneath a soft-shouldered, lightweight spring blazer (which Billy Reid also sells!), fashioned from soft organic Pima cotton that’s also been garment-dyed to give it some character out of the box.

It’s also helpfully now marked down below $90, with the good looks and expert design detailing to make it worth dropping a bit more money on a stylish men’s polo for spring and summer. Note the designer’s careful touches, like a woven undercollar and the brand’s signature ribbon stripe detailing inside its traditional polo vents.

And yet, if you want a company that does a little bit of everything, from sleek chinos to expertly cut Oxford shirts, sleek Italian-inspired tailoring and more rugged outerwear like the Bonobos British Waxed Field Jacket, then you might say you’re very much in luck.

Four large front pockets provide crucial everyday carry storage in classically rugged field jacket fashion.

It very well might be harder to find a better deal on a durable field jacket for spring right now than the Bonobos British Waxed Field Jacket, but take heed: Sizes are selling quickly via the Bonobos Sale section, so act accordingly to get your hands on potentially your new favorite spring jacket.
