The Thursday Buy: Todd Snyder Updates the Western Shirt in Classic Corduroy

Updating a classic isn’t quite as tricky as it seems, at least in the hands of the right menswear designer, and since the Western shirt (and all things Western) are having a serious moment right now, it only feels fitting to focus on a revamped classic for the season at hand.

And that revamped classic, at least in the case of today’s feature, is the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt, a premium and refined-yet-rugged spin that pairs the classic nature of corduroy with the crisp look and feel of a hard-wearing Western shirt.

You can count on Snyder to take old favorites and make them feel as stylish and as fresh as ever, be it the classic crewneck sweatshirt, the expertly cut and faded blue jean, the sturdy American-made T-shirt or the crisply designed Oxford shirt.

Of course, Snyder’s lineup also includes sweater polos, dress trousers, expert tailoring and sartorially inspired outerwear for all occasions, but there’s something easy to love about the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt.

The brand says this shirt, particularly in a rich ‘Coppertone’ shade, retains “all the rugged charm of a vintage Western shirt,” but this time uses a soft fine wale corduroy. Mother-of-pearl buttons give the shirt a handsome look and feel, while Western detailing like chest and back yokes adds to its authentic nature.

And there’s also a dressier quality than normal to the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt, which you can pair seamlessly with durable indigo denim or else pair up with light tan or even olive chinos.

Switch out your dark blue jeans for a lightly faded pair, then match up the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt with some Western boots, and you’ve got a look fit for work or play (but especially a date night where you want a bit of a look with some elegant attitude all the same).

This shirt also comes in a sleek all-black Caviar colorway, but if you ask me, the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt is at its finest in a rich, earthy shade of medium-brown. For classic style that feels decidedly modern, you’re going to want the Todd Snyder Corduroy Western Shirt in your rotation this season.

The Tuesday Steal: This Todd Snyder Chore Coat is an Essential Transitional (On-Sale) Layer

When the opportunity arises to bring your fall and winter layers back out of storage, I’d say you should jump at the chance — and while we’re well into autumn, perhaps you’re still searching for the right layer to complement casually rugged looks aplenty.

I’d say one of the best men’s chore coats certainly qualifies, especially if the weather hasn’t quite turned brisk in bone-chilling fashion — in times like these, a lighter, durable, rugged top layer can still be used to great effect when worn over a thicker sweater or flannel shirt, for instance.

And that’s where the good folks at Todd Snyder enter the fray once more, as the award-winning menswear designer’s Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat lives up to its billing for crisp but not blizzard-worthy seasonal days right now.

Find out more now at Todd Snyder

To be clear, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat isn’t nearly as thick and sturdy as other layers in your rotation, perhaps even including something like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket. But remember, layers are your friend, and when wind and rain hits, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat should prove highly functional and fashionable all the same. And yes, for just about 25 percent off, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat will absolutely get the job done, my friends.

A blend of cotton and nylon gives it a water-resistant structure and sturdy style points aplenty, as patch pockets deliver a timeless chore coat look and utility for hauling your everyday carry from point A to point B.

Melamine buttons provide durability and performance, while the Lichen shade is utterly classic and military-inspired — look to pair up the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat with everything from dark tan chinos and a white Oxford shirt to expertly broken-in dark blue denim and a grey thermal henley.

Of course, the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat should also style easily atop a fisherman sweater or a light grey crewneck sweatshirt — and naturally, the fact that the famed designer sells each of these staples alongside the Todd Snyder Rain Chore Coat is a massive bonus, at least in my experience. If it’s reliably durable, rugged-yet-versatile style you seek in every facet of your wardrobe, then this handsome chore coat is an apt, on-sale style move to make now, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Denim Overshirt is the Perfect Blend of Rugged and Refined Style

It’s always a positive, at least in my experience scouring the market for menswear essentials, to come across a fresh take on a tried-and-true staple, the kind we certainly love to talk about here at this Brooklyn menswear blog.

At least in my own personal rotation, the best denim shirts for men are something of a near-daily staple (as you well know if you read this blog regularly or follow me on Instagram).

Follow my daily style on Instagram

And over the years, I’ve come across plentiful excellent examples of the style, including the famed Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt as shown above. In a new edition for 2025 and yet boasting the same banner of quality and rugged-yet-refined style you’ve come to expect from the award-winning designer, the handsome nature of this denim overshirt is perfect for fall when it comes to looks — and its construction is even more well-suited to the season at hand. Let’s dive in a bit further today, shall we?

The Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt reminds me of the durable pieces worn by my father back in Michigan, yet this one features a more modern cut and fabrication (and likely wouldn’t be worn with light wash jeans, as was so often the case back in the ’90s!).

Instead, the Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt makes use of prime Italian cotton denim from Albiate, which is then fashioned into a slim-fit overshirt that seems perfectly primed to wear atop a thermal henley, a pocket tee, a graphic T-shirt or perhaps even on its own, beneath a rugged shawl cardigan.

And yet, keep in mind that an overshirt is a prime seasonal layer, especially when thrown on at a moment’s notice over a perfectly crafted, garment-washed T-shirt (again, it’s a daily staple look of mine!). Two chest pockets give the Todd Snyder Italian Denim Overshirt its utility and structure as an overshirt, whether paired with dark black jeans or perhaps olive canvas pants on a job site, in the garage or at the drafting table (or around a fall bonfire, cold Octoberfest beer in hand).

The stonewashed process gives it plenty of character and style points, while the sturdy build should prove durable and easily wearable season after season — and at $248, I’d want to get as much wear as possible out of your new favorite denim overshirt. Stay tuned for more from Todd Snyder this fall season, and revel in the perfect balance between rugged function and stylish form, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: These Todd Snyder Corduroy Pants Update a Timeless Classic for Early Fall

Best corduroy pants for men.

This time of year, it pays off to take a good, long look at your #menswear wardrobe — at the sort of pieces you need, the sort of style essentials you love to wear, and areas that can use a bit of an upgrade. Perhaps that applies to your rotation of the best pants for men, which often includes staples like light wash denim and linen trousers for the summer months.

But for early fall, the texture, weight and style points of a set of the best corduroy pants for men can go a long way, and that’s where famed menswear designer Todd Snyder can certainly help you amp things up ahead of what we all know to be the best season in the style game for guys.

Like the care and craft that goes into Snyder’s offering of the best cashmere sweaters for men (another luxe style staple you can wear to great effect this time of year), the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants offer up the brand’s own spin on a certified fall style classic. Of course, it all starts with the proper fabrication and build, and in terms of these stylish men’s corduroy pants, that means a blend of cotton and elastane (just a hint of stretch!) along with a slim, flattering fit.

The Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also feature a 14-wale corduroy design for a look that’s more thin and streamlined than typical throwback corduroy pants, which boast a wider wale. The handsome Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also toe the line between formal and casual, what with their five-pocket design that’s also quite close to your favorite pair of Todd Snyder jeans.

The Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants also feature design details distinct to the award-winning brand, including custom rivets and a custom back hip logo patch. You’ll also find the famed “TS” (Todd Snyder) logo on part of the five-pocket build, while crisp, classic colors like Khaki and Navy offer variety alongside sleek Black and even eye-catching White.

With a design that hues closely to both denim and to elegant dress pants, these corduroy pants could be just what your style rotation needs these days, whether you choose to pair them with a thermal henley and shawl-collar cardigan, or with a chambray shirt and a stretch cotton blazer.

No one does modern updates to the classics quite like Todd Snyder, and just in time for the season’s best, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Corduroy Pants deliver casually cool, comfortable, polished style.

The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Cashmere Crewneck is A Luxe Fall Style Essential

Best sweaters for men to wear this fall.

It’s often the little details that make the biggest difference in an #OOTD or a selection of the best menswear essentials — things like the soft touch of the right fabric, or a fit that’s just right. Of course, those can also prove to be the big details, which so often do indeed make a difference as you layer up for the season at hand.

And with award-winning menswear designer Todd Snyder, both details large and small are all carefully thought of with each passing collection — that certainly includes a luxe rotation of the best sweaters for men, which you’d do well to start thinking about as we inch ever closer to fall.

The good news for you and me both is that Todd Snyder’s assortment of the best men’s cashmere sweaters is well-stocked indeed, and that means the Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater could just become the style splurge your layering rotation needs this fall (and beyond).

The Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater offers what the designer calls “an elevated take on the essentials,” with a flattering fit, versatile crewneck construction — able to be worn on its own or over a crisp dress shirt — and an array of color options to suit every taste and sense of style. Details like ribbed stitching at the armholes and bottom hem give the handsome cashmere sweater an eye-catching appeal — that makes it visually interesting and appealing to wear on its own alongside dark blue jeans and burnished leather boots.

The Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater could even serve as a replacement for a traditional dress shirt beneath a charcoal suit at times this fall, particularly in the rich shade of plum (known as “Winestain”) shown here.

And I’d wager you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of the Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater — it’s a pricier investment at $328, but one you can assuredly make entirely your own this fall and winter.

Colors like Navy and Heather Grey offer versatility and reliable style with just about any other shade in your rotation of fall’s best pants and outerwear, but colors like Winestain represent the season most readily.

And as with other Todd Snyder menswear, although the Todd Snyder Midweight Cashmere Crewneck Sweater isn’t cheap, it’s most certainly worth the investment if you want a base layer — and indeed, a fashionable men’s sweater — that really isn’t so basic after all.

See Now, Buy Now: Todd Snyder’s 5-Pocket Chinos Blend the Best of Both Worlds, Any Time of Year

It can be tricky to find an improved version of a classic you’ve been wearing for years, be it hard-working blue denim, the right chambray shirt or an everyday pair of stretch chinos.

The chino’s military roots have come a long way, and designer Todd Snyder certainly has a healthy respect for those roots — durable, dependable design is the name of the game, and it makes perfect sense that the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos manage to improve upon the versatile design of this all-time menswear classic. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

The best chinos for men step things up from dark blue or light wash denim in any season, for starters, with a crisp look that wears nicely in situations both business casual (an Oxford shirt and a navy cotton blazer make for a wise pairing), and casually rugged (a henley and shawl cardigan, anyone?).

Even as summer’s heat hangs in there these last few weeks of August, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos bridge the gap between seasons — they mimic the same build as reliable jeans, yet use a stretch garment-dyed cotton twill blend for supreme comfort and a sense of style that’s just a touch more elevated than regular blue jeans.

Best stretch chinos for men.

Call the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos a wardrobe upgrade heading into a new season, but don’t call ’em boring: The award-winning designer says these handsome pants are “casual yet elevated, comfy yet polished, and ready for just about anything,” and I tend to agree (as you know if you’ve read the blog over the years!).

Shop your new favorite pants at Todd Snyder

In my experience, there’s hardly a thing the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos can’t do, be it pairing ’em up with a simple cotton pocket T-shirt or wearing them to the office alongside a chambray dress shirt and leather chukka boots.

It’s a major bonus that they come in a range of crisply cut, highly wearable colors: There’s the dressy, navy Nightwatch, the deep brown Glazed Pecan, even sharply designed Black and a light Olive Vine shade.

Available in both Slim and Straight fits, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos should prove every bit as wearable as your favorite go-to jeans, yet with a touch more polish — as we so often like to shop for (and wear!) at this Brooklyn style blog.

Throw these on with your favorite worn-in pair of Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots or else lace up some new leather high-top sneakers (or a pair of Todd Snyder x Sperry boat shoes to close out summer). Make no mistake, the Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos can do everything you ask them to do, and then some — there’s no better way to get ready for fall, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: These Todd Snyder Linen Trousers Will Replace Your Favorite Jeans This Season

Best linen pants for men.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you simply can’t find a way to stop wearing your favorite pairs of jeans, even in the summer heat. It makes (some) sense stylistically, after all — the best men’s jeans, especially in lightweight fabrication and a light wash — are a tried-and-true summer style essential, as easy to wear with an Oxford shirt as with a classic pocket tee.

So, it’s helpful that famed American menswear designer Todd Snyder came up with an alternative as far as stylish men’s jeans for summer: Meet the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants, which merge the same silhouette as your favorite blue jeans with the helpful lightweight fabrication of breezy linen.

With the same crisp detailing as five-pocket blue jeans — this time available in a suitably summer-ready shade of light Khaki — the legendary menswear designer bills these pants as “soft but sturdy,” noting that the fabric “retains the best elements of both fibers: lightweight and breathable” (compared to traditional cotton denim, that is).

The Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants are both rugged and casual yet smart at the same time — built like jeans, but with the comfort and polish to pair with everything from a camp collar shirt and leather loafers to a lightweight navy cotton blazer and a grey Oxford shirt (try it out sometime alongside the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants and feel free to report back).

In the meantime, the straight leg cut should wear well with everything from canvas sneakers to Todd Snyder x Sperry boat shoes (also a personal favorite, in my experience!).

When it really comes down to it this season, versatile style is the name of the game, and trading in your dark wash jeans for something with a touch more refinement — and a touch more lightweight comfort — is a wise move as the thermostat continues to climb. Find the Todd Snyder Straight 5-Pocket Linen Pants now in your preferred size — there’s stock available, but you might find your new favorite summer trousers are selling fast, my friends.
