The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Shirt is a Throwback Style Classic

It seems like only yesterday we were talking about the Todd Snyder End of Summer Sale, and with a snap of your fingers (or perhaps the opening of a cold can of beer), we’re already talking about the best fall style essentials from the famed American designer himself.

As you’ve perused the pages of this blog over the years, have you picked out any wish list favorites from the NYC-by-way-of-Iowa designer?

In my experience, I’ve always loved the rugged-meets-refined feel of Todd Snyder flannel shirts — the flannel is soft and warm, easy to layer and always flattering. That’s certainly the case with this latest round of fall shirting from Todd Snyder, and the Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Buttondown (especially in rich and rugged red-and-black) fits the bill quite nicely on all fronts.

It’s made with plenty of Snyder-approved details, like a distinctive button-through chest pocket and a classic buttondown collar a la your trusty, summer-ready Oxford shirt. And while the Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Buttondown is pricy compared to other men’s flannel shirts on the market, it’s a touch more refined.

It can be worn on its own with crisp dark blue denim, styled beneath your favorite winter blazer with tobacco-colored chinos, or paired with a henley and Wolverine boots for a dash of rugged fall style. You can’t top that sort of versatility and quality, and the Todd Snyder Plaid Flannel Buttondown should offer up plenty of bang for your buck.

Todd Snyder End of Summer Sale 2023

You could call it summer’s last gasp, or you could simply call it a fine time to keep wearing (and shopping for) all-season essentials, the kind of menswear must-haves that can pull double-duty through late summer and into early fall. I say, why not both? That goes for rugged menswear and EDC gear in spades, particularly from one of your favorite men’s style brands.

Timex x Todd Snyder review.

And that’s where the Todd Snyder End of Summer Sale can help you freshen up your wardrobe for the weeks and months ahead — it’s not simply stocked with warm-weather gear, after all.

The Thursday Buy: Todd Snyder Is Now Making the Perfect Casual Pair of Men’s Jeans

Todd Snyder men's denim review.

In my experience, there’s not a whole lot that a designer like Todd Snyder (one of the best menswear designers in the country) can’t do when it comes to designing menswear essentials that work well in a variety of situations. That’s likely an understatement, as the famed designer and J. Crew alum makes everything from the rugged (like his Todd Snyder x Champion collab) to the refined (like his stylish suiting), plus pieces in between — like your new favorite pair of blue jeans.

And that brings us to today’s spotlight, which is worth checking out if you’ve never taken a closer look at Todd Snyder denim. There’s plenty to love about Todd Snyder’s denim offering, which expanded in 2019.

That lineup now includes everything from rich selvedge denim to the Todd Snyder Straight Fit Stretch Jean — between the stretch fabric and the agreeable straight-leg cut, they could be the perfect everyday jeans for most guys.

Todd Snyder men's jeans.

They feature a rich medium indigo wash for a casual look that does well in virtually any season (especially when worn casually with a rugged trucker jacket, I’m of the mind that faded jeans look great even outside of summer). The Todd Snyder Straight Fit Stretch Jeans get all the details right, from the agreeable 12.5oz. denim weight (again, with plenty of stretch via elastane!), plus the vintage-style fading and classic five-pocket construction.

Right down to the antique copper rivets and the chain-stitched coin pocket, the Todd Snyder Straight Fit Stretch Jeans are about as cool as it gets. It’s also hard not to appreciate small touches like a suede-embossed back patch for a premium touch, and these stylish light wash blue jeans can even dress down a lightweight navy blazer as the weather turns chillier.

For $158, the Todd Snyder Straight Fit Stretch Jean is a heck of a deal in terms of casually rugged-yet-refined, perfectly cool style. Try ’em out and see for yourself.

See Now, Buy Now: This Todd Snyder Utility Shirt is the Ideal Overshirt for Breezy Spring Days

Best men's shirt jacket for spring.

There are times where, perhaps when you least expect it, the tides turn, the weather shifts and you need to shift gears in your wardrobe. That tends to happen pretty frequently during spring, when sunny days unexpectedly give way to blustery breezes — so, what’s a guy to do? Layer up accordingly for spring with one of the best men’s overshirts, of course.

For all those days when it’s not quite T-shirt weather, yet not quite breezy enough to wear, say, a stylish puffer jacket, that’s where your new favorite overshirt comes into play. Of course, you can leave it to one of America’s best menswear designers to come up with a rugged-meets-refined take on the stylish men’s shirt jacket, and that approach is fully on display with the Todd Snyder Two-Pocket Utility Shirt.

As with most things Todd Snyder, the inspiration is simple and classic — old-school overshirts — yet the final product is an upgrade in every way, especially in terms of fabric, durability and a crisp, utilitarian design.

Best rugged shirt jacket for men.

The Todd Snyder Two-Pocket Utility Shirt has some helpful bells and whistles, as its name implies, including two large front flap patch chest pockets. Those pockets turn the Todd Snyder Two-Pocket Utility Shirt into a handy layer for storing your everyday carry, and the double-needle construction ensures durability at key stress points.

But again, this isn’t quite your average workshirt. You see, the Todd Snyder Two-Pocket Utility Shirt is made with 100 percent Italian cotton — and it’s made in Portugal, which makes this a casually rugged shirt jacket made for more leisurely pursuits than long days in the yard.

It’s the kind of versatile layer every guy needs, one that can be worn unbuttoned over your favorite T-shirt or one of the best men’s henleys. Plus, this rugged-meets-refined shirt jacket comes in a surprising array of colors (six total), delivering something for every sense of personal style. And while the Todd Snyder Two-Pocket Utility Shirt is an investment at almost $180, it’s the kind of durable overshirt you can count on in the clutch, time and time again.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Waxed Dylan Jacket – Spring’s Perfect Jacket for Breezy Days

Best men's waxed jacket

Some brands tend to hang their hat on certain styles, finding a magic formula that just keeps working — and working, and working. In the case of designer Todd Snyder — and specifically in the race to craft one of the best jackets for spring — the famed Iowa-born creative seems to have nailed that formula precisely with the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket.

Perhaps you’re familiar with the ultra-cool Todd Snyder Dylan Suede Jacket, which offers a luxe spring style upgrade, but when the weather turns breezy and perhaps a touch rainy, there’s another take on the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket you need in your life, and that’s the Todd Snyder English Waxed Dylan Jacket.

It’s like I said: When a designer lands on a formula that works, it’s a wise bet to stick with that formula, and perhaps even improve upon it a bit in the race to find one of the best men’s jackets for spring. There are, of course, plenty of editions of one of Todd Snyder’s best-selling jackets out there, but the difference is in the details, and indeed, the Todd Snyder English Waxed Dylan Jacket rises to the occasion when you need hard-wearing yet premium spring outerwear.

Best waxed jacket for men this spring.

Naturally, the fabric puts the Todd Snyder English Waxed Dylan Jacket a cut above the rest, quite literally. It’s crafted with 100 percent cotton from British Millerain, a trusted company for decades on end, and it’s updated with a moleskin collar for a luxe finish (and you can also turn that collar up against the wind and rain this spring). The Todd Snyder English Waxed Dylan Jacket also boasts a handsome navy color, plus design inspiration drawn from vintage trucker jackets.

The end result is a style that’s a touch vintage and just a bit modern, and it’s complemented nicely by Todd Snyder logo shank buttons in contrasting hardware, with a fit that’s true to size. So, if you’ve worn a Todd Snyder jacket before and love the look of the Todd Snyder English Waxed Dylan Jacket (or if you’re a fan of the designer’s stylish Oxford shirts), you might have found the perfect (and perfect-fitting) spring jacket to really nail the perfect balance of form and function this season.

The Todd Snyder English Waxed Dylan Jacket might seem like a stylish splurge, but it’s one your wardrobe will be all the better for this season.

This style of jacket, as you might have guessed, was first worn by painters and tradesmen in France, the original home of denim.

The earliest iterations of the fabric lent itself to hard-wearing, hard-working silhouettes, best epitomized for the modern man by the Todd Snyder French Blue Chore Coat. It makes perfect sense that the famed American designer would want to offer up his own take on the silhouette, considering he already crafts one of the best canvas work jackets out there.

But the Todd Snyder French Blue Chore Coat has a few more details going for it that turn it into an eye-catching spring jacket, including the use of imported Japanese indigo and a breezy, unlined 100 percent cotton construction.
