Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Terry Pocket Sweatshirt – An Everyday Essential from the Famed Menswear Designer

When a designer like Todd Snyder talks about the best men’s style essentials, pieces every guy should own, it’s a wise bet to listen closely. The award-winning menswear designer and veteran of J. Crew and Ralph Lauren has been shaping the way guys should dress for decades — especially with his namesake line, as you well know if you read this Brooklyn menswear blog. Yes, it’s lofty praise, but when a guy wants to look great in a luxe shirt, or find the perfect pair of selvedge jeans, or switch things up with relaxed tailoring or a Don Draper-approved sweater polo, Todd Snyder is the man to see.

That also holds true with more casual and casually rugged style essentials, like the effortless Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Sneakers or the just-right Oxford shirt, or an ultra-soft T-shirt, or the just-right fade of Japanese selvedge light wash jeans… the list goes on and on, as you can see.

And now, as part of his new line of Todd Snyder Essentials, the designer is recommending ten must-shop picks every guy should own — starting with a winter-friendly, layering-approved Todd Snyder Pocket Sweatshirt. The designer previously put his own twist on athletic sportswear for years with the Todd Snyder x Champion lineup of luxe yet gym-inspired basics, including the must-buy pocket sweatshirt. It begins anew with one of the best sweatshirts for men, in the best way possible.

The Todd Snyder Pocket Sweatshirt takes the classic pocket sweatshirt and gives it a luxe finish in Portuguese French Terry cotton, light enough to layer comfortably over an Oxford shirt or a thermal henley, and substantial enough to give it some heft underneath a sturdy waxed cotton trucker jacket.

In fact, your new favorite pocket sweatshirt should be well-suited for layering indeed, as the famed retailer (now with more than 20 locations nationwide!) notes this sweatshirt is in fact “roomy through the chest, tapered at the waist” for a more classic look in a nod to old-school athletic sweatshirts.

Split needle construction offers a clean and crisp finish to this sweatshirt whether you score the Todd Snyder Pocket Sweatshirt in a timeless color like Light Grey, or the indigo-inspired Deep Springs. Any option should add depth and a sense of sporty, heritage style to your favorite pieces, be they tobacco-hued stretch chinos, faded blue jeans or perhaps corduroy pants and a chambray shirt for a luxe, high-meets-low look. This certainly won’t be the last time we talk about his new line of Todd Snyder Essentials, so it’s best to start with a fresh take on a throwback classic.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed Jacket Is Your Next Go-Anywhere Casual Layer

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket review.

If there’s one thing on my mind every time I step out into the snowy streets of Brooklyn, it’s the need — a deep need — for a darn good, tough-as-nails, hard-wearing winter coat these days. Not just any coat meets that mantle — the best winter jackets for men need to layer with ease, fight off wind and sleet, and look good while doing it — in casually rugged fashion, of course.

And while your rotation of the best winter menswear probably has a durable parka or a puffer jacket at the very minimum, rugged versatility and variety is never a bad thing. In fact, every guy can use a stable of options as far the best men’s winter jackets are concerned — and as I always say, if you can find one up for grabs at a discount within the confines of, say, the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, you should certainly make haste.

That brings us to a seasonal layering staple, one you can wear well into spring when the snow finally tapers off: That’d be the hard-working, sleek Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket, just the latest foray into the best waxed jackets for men from the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder. It’s the best of all worlds, I say, as you shop the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, between the combination of rugged, durable staples, winter style points, functionality and savings — and this dependable, casual sits nicely at the cross-section of those categories, does it not?

The Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket looks like the kind of grab-and-go jacket every guy can use, more capable at repelling wind and rain than a nylon puffer jacket, and every bit as streamlined for casually rugged fashion (Think: Atop blue jeans and a chambray shirt or thermal henley on “balmy” days, and atop a fisherman sweater as temperatures plummet).

Billed by Huckberry itself as a “waxed canvas puffer that’s a city slicker by day and cabin dweller by the weekend,” it’s also finished off internally with recycled Primaloft insulation and useful details like a stand-up collar and welt-snap hip pockets (plus an interior chest pocket) for your ever-critical daily carry.

And while sizes of the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket are going fast in certain colors, there are more than enough options in highly neutral, easily wearable colors like Grey or Olive. And for the perfect fit, the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket even features snap wrist cuffs and adjustable side tabs based on how much mobility your next winter adventure calls for. At a prime savings of 40 percent off (marked down to $178 from $298), this handsome waxed jacket is an effortless winter layer packed with performance — trust me on that, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Buck Mason California Cashmere Cable Crew Sweater

As frigid weather continues to grip much of the country, perhaps you’re taking stock of your winter style essentials and realizing you need a few more critical, crucial picks with some serious heft to them. That holds true for your menswear rotation from top to bottom, I’d wager: Rugged leather boots, durable denim, flannel shirt jackets and the right base layers are all downright useful in your fight against winter’s worst, and that’s where the good folks at Buck Mason enter your rotation once more.

The California-based brand drives a hard bargain in matters of form and functionality, especially as far as Buck Mason sweaters are concerned — the lineup draws inspiration from utterly timeless, throwback-style sweaters, particularly preppy staples from the Ivy League. And that’s what makes the Buck Mason California Cashmere Cable Crew Sweater so reliable: It’s got the proper construction, the right design and the durable fabrication (plus style points aplenty!) you’ve come to expect from Buck Mason, and then some.

The Buck Mason California Cashmere Cable Crew Sweater is crafted from ultra-soft 100 percent cashmere for a truly luxurious feel and finish. And with its classic cable knit stitching, the sweater boasts heritage-quality good looks in a design that would make Hemingway proud. Buck Mason drew design inspiration from the “casual poise of 1960s Ivy League sweaters,” the company said, and finished this handsome piece with yarn-dyed fabric at the cuffs and collar for a lived-in, well-loved feel right out of the box.

In three elegant and dashing colors, including crisp Black and an eye-catching, utterly classic shade of Natural, this refined sweater should prove as wearable with expertly faded blue jeans as with olive corduroy trousers and perhaps even tobacco-hued chinos, depending on the color you select.

There’s a sense of refinement and style to the Buck Mason California Cashmere Cable Crew Sweater, which boasts a classic fit for easygoing layering atop an Oxford shirt, a trusty Buck Mason chambray shirt or perhaps a thermal crewneck for casual style on winter weekend days aplenty. When the weather demands something more sturdy and strong in your arsenal, take aim at adverse conditions with the timeless, exceptionally well-crafted Buck Mason California Cashmere Cable Crew Sweater, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Pair This Rugged Tecovas Sweater with Your Favorite Western Boots This Winter

Tecovas menswear review.

As we bundle up with increasing fervor across the frigid winter months, it’s important to remember — at least in my experience — that having a bit of fun in the process of scouring the market for winter style essentials is, well, also important. So, while you might have figured out your outerwear situation and ideally, the best winter boots on your feet, it pays off to have a touch of fun or at least a touch of the unexpected in your layering rotation.

That’s where Tecovas comes in: As fun as it is to step out in a pair of rugged Tecovas work boots or the brand’s ever-popular Western boots, it’s perhaps even cooler to discover something a bit unexpected, like one of the best winter sweaters for men. The Austin-based brand has shot to popularity across the past decade for embodying all things Western in matters of style and substance, and a rugged winter sweater like the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater can add a dash of dependability, flair and style to everything from a waxed trucker jacket to a flannel shirt jacket.

Helpfully, the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater is unexpected, it’s eye-catching and it’s built to last at a relatively fair price ($145 as of press time). Paired up with your favorite pair of handsome, durable Tecovas leather Western boots — of which the brand makes dozens of different styles — and you’ve got a stylish sweater you can layer up in versatile fashion.

Crafted from midweight Merino wool for temperature regulation and plenty of warmth (whether paired with a chambray shirt or straightforward long-sleeve cotton tee), this sweater gains variety from its half-cardigan stitch construction through the body. Pair that with shoulder and back yoke seed stitch detailing, plus rack stitching at the cuffs and hem — this handsome sweater is visually appealing all the way through, especially in Winter White.

Best of all is the attention to detail in constructing the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater — note the cow skull motif emblazoned across the back in bold, rugged fashion. It’s a one-of-a-kind sweater available in two crisp colors and practically made to be paired with expertly crafted light wash or dark blue jeans (which you can also score at Tecovas, as luck would have it!). The next time opportunity comes knocking in the form of a reliable sweater to layer up with during winter’s worst weather, I’d wager the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater is about as good as it gets.

The Friday Find: The Iron and Resin Cruiser Jacket is Perfectly Suited for Each and Every Rugged Adventure This Season

Iron and Resin Cruiser Jacket review.

As we so often talk about on this Brooklyn style blog, it can indeed be mighty refreshing to find a brand crafting rugged menswear the right way — especially if it’s a brand that might have flown under your radar, or a brand you haven’t explored in some time.

As we try to do with our Friday Find series, it seems that when it comes to winter style essentials — and the best waxed jackets — the good folks at Iron and Resin deliver just what the doctor ordered in matters of rugged, durable and dependable quality.

The newly reintroduced Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket fits the bill perfectly in that regard, using a remarkable blend of quality, craftsmanship and tough-as-nails fabrication to get the details just right (and then some).

Best waxed jackets for men.

The Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket starts off with a supple yet sturdy build featuring what the company calls a “beefy 14.75oz Raymond waxed cotton canvas,” amped up on the inside and outside with cozy yet strong features like a lining crafted from the brand’s custom Klamath Flannel pattern blanket fabrication.

The effect is visually pleasing as well as cozy and warm — how much more can you ask for from one of the best waxed jackets for men, ehh? Gusseted shoulders and a fit cut to hit just above the hip drive home the utility of this jacket, for good measure.

Iron and Resin menswear review.

Dependable details truly make the difference when it comes to the Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket, including a heavy-duty front zipper and reliable storm closure flap for extra coverage. Front chest pockets and lower hip pockets offer space for your everyday carry essentials, a wise move given that you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of your new favorite waxed jacket.

If it seems as if the company thought of just about everything as far as the handsome and highly dependable Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket is concerned, that’s because, at least in my experience, they certainly did.

The Tuesday Steal: Take Up to 50 Percent Off the Best Winter Menswear at this Billy Reid Sale

Billy Reid winter menswear.

It’s like I often say here on this Brooklyn menswear blog — when given the chance to shop some of the best winter menswear at a discount, or really, the best menswear in any season, it’s high time you strike while the iron is hot. After all, the chance to score refined, versatile menswear from a top-notch designer — like Billy Reid, as luck would have it –doesn’t come around all that often.

And the Billy Reid Winter Sale right now is serving up some of the best of the best across the board — it doesn’t hurt that these are selections, from the utterly classic Billy Reid Bond Peacoat to durable-yet-handsome blue jeans, a rugged henley and the brand’s elegant cardigans — that you can actually wear right now, in the midst of the brisk season at hand.

In this neck of the woods, I’m a fan of everything from Billy Reid’s rugged hunting jacket to, of course, the famed peacoat worn by James Bond. And right now, this sale serves up stellar discounts (and a crop of Final Sale items) on long-sleeve polos, textured printed shirts, moleskin trousers and a luxe take on the classic crewneck sweater, among other style staples.

In the right hands, even the laidback hooded sweatshirt gets a luxurious finish, something you can certainly see for yourself when you scour the offerings up for grabs at the Billy Reid Winter Sale.

The famed Billy Reid Tuscumbia Shirt in a number of plaid designs and rich winter colors also gets marked down in price, and easygoing selections like quarter-zip sweaters are under the gun in terms of discounts — for a limited time! — within the Billy Reid Winter Sale.

Again, it’s a joy to see so many winter style essentials on offer at prices you don’t tend to find all that often with an ultra-premium, elegant designer like Billy Reid — and yet, with Americana inspiration in every stitch and plenty of dependability and attention to detail, I’m willing to bet that just about anything you score during the Billy Reid Winter Sale will deliver what you seek.

The Friday Find: This Warren Chamois Shirt is a Perfect USA-Made Addition to Your Winter Wardrobe

It’s all too easy for a brand to take shortcuts these days, to outsource production or find a cheaper way of doing things, and while it’s certainly not economical for the menswear lovers like you and me, it tends to make a heck of a lot of difference when you find a brand doing precisely the opposite.

It’s quite the heady topic rolling into a new year, and again, it might not be feasible to stock your entire wardrobe with the best USA-made menswear. And yet, if you want to feel a durable difference in every stitch, packed with style points in each piece to boot, you very well might love what’s happening at New England’s Warren, a brand I’ve enjoyed getting to wear and getting to learn about across the past year or so.

The brand centers its sourcing and production around New England in a major change of how plenty of other retailers (albeit larger!) are doing things these days, and the gettin’ gets better from there, so to speak.

From a durable-as-can-be rugged chore coat to a vintage-inspired sweatshirt and a stellar, small-batch run of utterly classic chinos, Warren checks off the proper boxes as far as menswear classics and timeless wardrobe building blocks are concerned.

The brand is a new one on the scene, but ranks up near the very top when it comes to my favorite American-made menswear brands — and if I had to wager, I’d say the Warren Walden Chamois Shirt should only strengthen that feeling.

The Warren Walden Chamois Shirt starts with a sturdy 7.05oz. organic cotton twill fabric from American Woolen (the cotton is grown and spun in the American South, the company notes). Followed by brushing and garment-dying in New Hampshire, you’re left with a near-perfect chamois shirt, one that should prove utterly soft yet dependable out of the box, and entirely ready to make your own.

This dependable winter staple draws its inspiration from Maine winters and coastal shirting that’s proven a must-have in fierce Nor’easters aplenty, and Warren duly notes the Warren Walden Chamois Shirt was “inspired by the practical shirts worn across New England’s backwoods and work yards.”

Whether worn with sturdy chinos or cool-as-can-be corduroy trousers, or else with canvas work pants atop a thermal henley when your to-do list calls, you’ve found the perfect shirt for the occasion in the Warren Walden Chamois Shirt.

Best lug sole boots for men.

Now that we’re well and properly rolling into the new year — and perhaps you’re now properly back in the office and traversing snowy streets — it’s a prime time to take stock of each of your winter style essentials, plus the rugged-meets-refined winter boots you’re lacing up.

Of course, there are a number of winter style considerations to keep in mind, from your cozy winter parka to the wool blazer you’re wearing to the office, but about those winter boots… you simply can’t skimp on them, especially if you’ve got a touch of casually rugged flexibility in your dress code, ehh?

Enter a new style to start a new year via the good folks at Astorflex and Huckberry — Astorflex runs a family-owned factory carefully crafting some of the finest footwear on the market, namely its handsome and utterly classic chukka boots and sleek leather loafers.

Those shoes have been handmade in Italy since 1820, and many of those same methods remain — the same should hold true for the brand-new Astorflex Jibflex Lug Sole Chukka Boots, a rugged and distinctive spin on a sturdy classic.

Crafted from rich brown bovine roughout leather, the Astorflex Jibflex Lug Sole Chukka Boots are even lined in leather for ultra-soft comfort right out of the box, plus a fit that molds to you own foot over time — the memory foam insole helps see to that, of course.

The Astorflex Jibflex Lug Sole Chukka Boots are then finished with contrasting stitchdown construction atop a lug outsole that adds some durable texture and rugged refinement to the more laidback Astorflex lineup of easygoing silhouettes (the brand’s spring and summer-approved suede chukka boots come to mind).

Best men's chukka boots to buy now.

The use of leather laces and that contrast moc-toe stitching helps lend the shoes “a heritage-coastal style that sets it apart from other chukkas,” Huckberry sagely notes. The resulting pair of hard-working lug sole chukka boots should wear more than admirably with blue selvedge jeans, with dark brown corduroy trousers or with olive chinos, a chambray shirt and a waxed trucker jacket.

And yet, when teamed up with wool trousers and a thick-knit cardigan, you very well might be able to get away with wearing the Astorflex Jibflex Lug Sole Chukka Boots to the office on a casual winter’s Friday. How about it? If I were you, I’d seek out as many chances as possible to wear my new favorite chukka boots — now that you’ve found the Astorflex Jibflex Lug Sole Chukka Boots via Huckberry, of course.
