The Thursday Buy: The Todd Snyder Italian Snap Dylan Jacket is Your Spring Jacket Refresh

Best suede jacket for spring.

It seems like just yesterday that we were talking about the best winter menswear deals at Todd Snyder, and now here we are, moving right into a new season with a look at one of the best men’s jackets for spring. It comes courtesy of one of the best menswear designers in America, a name you’ve long been familiar with if you read this blog: That’d be Todd Snyder, the Iowa-born, NYC-based designer that takes rugged menswear staples, like the trucker jacket, and amps them up with premium materials and a refined, surprisingly elegant approach. Which brings us to one of the best spring jackets for men today — we’ve talked previously about the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in its fall-friendly waxed design, but today’s iteration is a perfect jacket for the season, done up in rich, soft suede in an striking Medium Blue color.

Shop the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket

Of course, there are several options you’ve got when it comes to the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in Suede, but why not embrace the pending return of spring? It’s part of a slate of Todd Snyder New Arrivals in premium materials and vivid colors, be it rugged henleys, on-trend rugby shirts or soft indigo denim — yes, it’s all worth a look, and the Dylan Jacket in Suede leads the way.

The best men's jacket for spring.

It’s no surprise that the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in Suede, especially in a rich and seasonally minded color like Indigo, is a best seller of Snyder’s brand for a reason. It’s made in Italy, with extremely soft and smooth suede. This is a jacket to be worn on breezy days, but not overly rainy days, as suede doesn’t fare well in a downpour. The rest of the time though, the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in Suede is well worth its price tag ($998 at Todd Snyder). Handsome silver snap hardware contrasts nicely with the Medium Blue color in particular, and the trucker jacket fit hits on the hip (and runs slightly slim).

The Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in Suede is rugged enough to pair with deep blue indigo jeans and a classic men’s henley, but it’s also an interesting change of pace to wear with tailored Todd Snyder chinos and your favorite Oxford shirt. Best of all, you can wear the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in Suede as a statement piece if you pick up a brighter or more bold color, or you can go more subdued in a crisp color like Olive or Dark Charcoal. Above all else, I’d look to get as much wear as possible out of the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket in Suede, no matter what the color or wearing occasion. If you end up picking up this jacket, let me know in the comments. Here’s to spring layering, my friends!

See Now, Buy Now: This Refined Todd Snyder Peacoat Is a Seasonal Style Splurge

Best men's peacoat for winter.

There are plenty of ways to outfit yourself for chilly winter weather, but there’s hardly one more classic, refined and yet modern than wearing one of the best men’s peacoats. In fact, although it’s a sharp style move for guys everywhere these days, the iconic peacoat — like the frankly incredible Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat shown above — has humble beginnings on the high seas, worn by naval officers to keep them warm in adverse conditions. The peacoat is a reliable style move in much the same way today, but the catch is this: You can find one of the best peacoats for men online and have it heading to your doorstep in mere minutes. This particular peacoat is coming your way courtesy of one of the country’s best menswear designers, with all the specs and style points you might expect. Todd Snyder himself has a deep knowledge of menswear history and style, and frequently references classics like the peacoat, the crewneck sweatshirt, the flannel shirt and more.

Shop Todd Snyder’s bestsellers

What does it all mean to you? It means that the remarkable Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is the right outerwear choice now, while winter continues to stick around. This peacoat is utterly classic in every way, made from super warm wool with 10 percent cashmere, a bit more elegant than the peacoats worn on ship decks — but no less warm.

Best winter peacoat for men.

The Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat features a classic six-button, double-breasted design, the better to keep out weather and wind. Chest handwarmer pockets are crucial if you’re not on the high seas, while the collar itself can be flipped up to block wind. Yes indeed, the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is modeled after the best of ’em, with the price tag to match (it’s $898 at Todd Snyder — this is the last peacoat you’re going to need to buy for a while). The length on the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is cut to hit at the top of your thighs, so you can wear it over a Todd Snyder flannel shirt for an extra-warm winter layering ensemble.

Satchel and Page

You can — and should — style this durable, classic peacoat over a throwback crewneck sweatshirt for more laidback weekend outings, too (it’s kind of like the Billy Reid Bond Peacoat, in that regard). Any which way you wear it, but especially with tailored dress trousers and a timeless cardigan, the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Cashmere Peacoat is going to keep you warm in utterly classic style. I can’t think of a better way to get dressed for winter than that.

Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt in Antique Grey Mix

Is there any designer out there that does it better than Todd Snyder when it comes to taking classic menswear staples and then making them fresh and modern? It’s up for debate, but there’s no question that with the Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt (part of the excellent Todd Snyder + Champion partnership), he’s done it once again. For nearly a decade now, the Iowa-born Snyder (one of my favorite designers and one of the country’s best menswear designers) has worked with top brands like Champion to redefine the menswear game, turning once-purely functional, rugged pieces like the crewneck sweatshirt into bona fide style statements. Now, I’ve written plenty of Todd Snyder reviews on sweatshirts just like this, but it’s always worth revisiting as things get better each year in terms of style and design.

Shop Todd Snyder + Champion

That’s what makes the Todd Snyder + Champion collaboration so cool to see, given that it results in pieces you can wear far beyond the confines of the gym, like the Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt. The specs are an homage to past, highly durable crewneck sweatshirts, including the 18oz. French terry fabric that’s been garment-dyed for extra softness. It’s also the perfect sort of layer to wear with anything, including a rugged Todd Snyder waxed trucker jacket or Todd Snyder’s quilted shirt jacket — it only gets better from there, though.

Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt in Dark Cobalt

The Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt has plenty of features to love, including added visual details like a chest pocket (added by Snyder himself in the original design), plus the contrast V-stitching at the neck for both durability and an old-school throwback touch. Raglan sleeve stitching is also a throwback Champion design touch that helps cement just how cool the Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt really is — what’s not to love about a throwback approach? The hits keep coming, so to speak, with the Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt, which is available in a stunning and highly versatile 12 colors.

That means there’s a shade of the Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt to match with just about anything in your wardrobe, be it laidback Todd Snyder sweatshorts in the warmer months or hard-wearing Japanese selvedge denim in the colder months. The Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt is also fairly priced at under $100, making it a more-than-reasonable purchase when you consider that you can rock it under everything from a flannel shirt to a winter herringbone blazer. For classic style in casual and even business casual situations, make the Todd Snyder Midweight Pocket Sweatshirt your go-to winter style move.

In short, the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket is the perfect blend of premium style and materials, plus the rugged functionality you need in a winter layer. It’s lined with Italian nylon and features a poly filling, all the better for added warmth on the go. But it’s the exterior wool-blend fabric that really sets the Todd Snyder Italian Quilted Shirt Jacket from the pack, making this shirt jacket more similar to a traditional winter blazer than an overly technical shirt jacket. It’s the Grey Donegal wool option that should prove most versatile when you want to score a shirt jacket (or “shacket”) you can dress up with tailored charcoal wool trousers, perhaps atop a Todd Snyder turtleneck for an eye-catching blend of high-low style. Yes indeed, this quilted shirt jacket is both technically savvy and stylish in equal measure. It could just be your new favorite winter layer, whether worn with a thermal shirt, a rugged henley or an Oxford shirt.

The Todd Snyder English Waxed Dylan Jacket is just the latest and greatest upgrade to hit the brand’s digital shelves, and it’s worth calling out for several reasons, first and foremost among them the fact that the waxed cotton iteration of the Todd Snyder Dylan Jacket is nearly 50 percent less than the original Dylan Jacket.

The Olive color is highly versatile and just so happens to be a perfect shade for fall: Pair it with indigo denim, tan chinos or even dark brown or navy corduroy trousers with ease. Plus, it’s finished off with a blanket lining for added warmth, while the contrasting moleskin collar calls to mind other classic British waxed jackets.

The Tuesday Steal: This Todd Snyder Chambray Shirt is a Fall Style Classic

Japanese Sunfaded Chambray Button Down Shirt

How many fall style essentials is too many to have in your closet? Or rather, can you ever have enough certifiable seasonal classics like one of the best chambray shirts? My take on the matter is that no, no sir, you can never have enough fall menswear picks like the Todd Snyder Sunfaded Chambray Shirt. While it’s not as much of a steal, per se, as shopping the Todd Snyder Sale section in its own right, this classic chambray shirt is actually a great pick-up, particularly considering how much wear you can get out of this undeniably cool, rugged-yet-versatile men’s shirt. You could call it one of the best men’s shirts, period, or one of the best chambray shirts, but the point remains: Although it’ll set you back at a rather hefty $178 at Todd Snyder, this is a pick-up that remains a steal. In fact, that’s perhaps best epitomized by the fact that it’s been a hot seller online for the famed menswear designer, so do yourself a favor and stock up right now on a shirt that could become your new favorite shirt for fall (and well beyond that, naturally).

What makes this shirt such a steal even at that higher price tag? It all comes down to a quality design and an effortlessly cool build, starting with what you might call “the good stuff” — that’d be the Japanese cotton chambray fabric. It’s soft but not too soft, lived-in but not worn out, and made with great care in Portugal. If that’s not enough to convince you to invest in the best chambray shirt out there, well, there’s plenty more reasons to consider.

Japanese Sunfaded Chambray Button Down Shirt

The cut of the Todd Snyder Sunfaded Chambray Shirt is also such that you can wear it in a dressier manner (underneath a wool or navy cotton blazer, for example), but you can also rock it readily with laidback style staples, like slim blue jeans and a pair of rugged leather boots or even canvas high-top sneakers. The Todd Snyder Sunfaded Chambray Shirt also wears well with tan chinos and low-top leather sneakers, all the better for easygoing weekend or casual office style. You should certainly take the chance to wear this classic chambray shirt to the office or out to coffee, because again, it deserves to be worn as much as possible.

HELM Boots

The Todd Snyder Sunfaded Chambray Shirt features small details that make it quite cool to wear on its own, like the button chest pocket. When you’re done wearing your go-to seasonal shirt, use the locker loop to hang it for a wrinkle-free experience, as the retailer notes. However you choose to wear it, and however often you wear it (as much as possible, if you’ll recall!), the Todd Snyder Sunfaded Chambray Shirt isn’t going to let you down. That makes it the perfect Tuesday Steal. Happy shopping, folks.

I’ve got new fall gear on my mind this week, even as I close out a family vacation in Michigan (I’ll cover my trip a bit more in my weekend newsletter) — I’ll be back in NYC in early September, and ready to ring in the season, as it were, with rugged henleys, waxed jackets and more.
