There are tons of iconic menswear brands out there, but did you know there are several underrated brands that unquestionably fly under the radar? We will be sharing several of our favorites with you today.
What Do We Midpoint When We Say Underrated?
What we midpoint by “underrated” are brands that have offerings within the umbrella of archetype menswear that are often overlooked. They could be otherwise popular brands that are not conventionally associated with archetype style. For example, L.L. Bean is increasingly known for its sportswear, rather than its sweaters and cardigans, which is why they’re often overlooked in this context.
Underrated Brands – 1. L. L. Bean
I suppose this one was an easy one to guess, considering our reference to it. As we mentioned, L. L. Bean is increasingly known as an outdoorsman trademark that is weightier recognized for its Maine hunting boots and hiking equipment. They have an spanking-new variety of cotton, wool, and cashmere sweaters that can be worn in a merchantry unstudied context with chinos, jeans, or flannels. These have solid construction methods and good materials and are fairly inexpensive for what you get.
A lot of the jackets in outerwear are on the increasingly unstudied end, but these can still mesh with archetype style, such as their shacket, parkas, and utility jackets. If you prefer a rugged unstudied look, they’re a unconfined option with impressive overall value.

2. Lands’ End
This visitor originally got its start as a yachting supply company, but later moved into unstudied men’s clothing. It was later uninventive by Sears, and focused on e-commerce and mail orders.
Much like L. L. Bean, it’s their unstudied offerings that really shine. They have spanking-new seersucker shirts, OCBDs, and sweaters. Their seersucker shirts are expressly nice since it’s a rare summer fabric that can be nonflexible to source. They’re moreover one of the few brands that offer quality archetype pajamas. Their selection is large and fairly inexpensive, with decently made suit that fits a wide variety of styles, making them perfect for this list.
3. Murray’s Toggery Shop
This trademark is well-known amongst prep enthusiasts. They’re weightier known for their Nantucket Red trousers, and have a variety of whimsical prep-style chinos, jeans, and corduroy pants. We moreover love their Harrington jackets, and overall Nautical-themed offerings, from their ring belts to rowing blazers, which are all typical of the Old Money aesthetic.
“Old Money” is NOT the Same as “Classic Style” (Here’s Why!)
This trademark moreover partners and does frequent collaborations with increasingly well-known brands, like Peter Millar, Barbour, and Bonobos, to perpetuate their offerings further, giving them plane increasingly archetype cred.
4. Kit Blake Trousers
This trademark is increasingly well-known in London and the UK, but is less prominent internationally. Their signature trouser offerings are high-rise, pleated, and side-tabbed trousers, but still have a tapered, increasingly trendy cut.
What we enjoy most well-nigh them is the rich patterns, colors, and materials they use, with flannel, upper quality, cotton, and linen, stuff expressly nice, and it will be far increasingly luxurious and have increasingly weft than your standard mall-brand garment. They’re moreover not overly expensive, which we fathom as well.

5. D’Avenza.
Most menswear enthusiasts will be familiar with archetype Italian brands like Brioni, Isaia, Kiton, and Attolini, who are renowned for their high-quality suit but d’Avenza never gets the same level of credit versus its Italian contemporaries, despite offering, in many ways, a similar quality product, combining Italian and British tailoring, using impressive high-end materials and construction methods, with blends like cashmere and plane corduroy. The trademark is expressly unconfined to reap secondhand for your wardrobe.
As their lack of marketing has made their name far less recognizable, just finding a website that sells their product is difficult, but when ownership second-hand, you can get a top-of-the-line jacket for a fraction of the cost.
6. John Varvatos
This trademark is increasingly well-known for its rock-and-roll aesthetic, but did you know Varvatos was originally the throne designer for Polo Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein? This influence sneaks into some of their offerings, leading to some really unique designs, like their lapel waistcoats and bomber jackets that are slightly fashion-forward but are still classically inspired and can be layered onto dress shirts, button-downs, and Henleys, all without looking out of place.
They’re going to be much increasingly pricey when purchased new since they’re increasingly of a malleate house, but still can be found at decent prices secondhand. If you like suit that’s a little variegated and trendy, they walk an spanking-new line without straying too far from their archetype roots.
7. Baturina
Derek Rose, Drakes, and Purple Label all dominate the high-end sleepwear category for men and demand a premium in price for it, where there’s this German visitor that offers quality robes and pajamas for men tabbed Baturina that while not unseemly is much increasingly affordable than the brands mentioned above.

Meaning that you can get a pair of Golden Age-inspired pajamas that fit you perfectly. Smoking pipe and champagne are an optional accessory, but a nice touch.
There’s moreover a upper level of customization in materials. Not many brands offer silk, wool, or cotton pajamas, let vacated ones that are customizable, giving them a unique niche that no one else quite fills at this price point.
8. Aero
Belstaff, Schott, and The Real McCoy’s are often regarded as some of the weightier leather jacket brands, but Aero has a number of unique offerings that are moreover upper quality. They often use Cordovan and models like their Hooch Hauler are directly based on patterns from the 30s and 40s. So, you can live out your fantasies of a 1920s bootlegger.
Cordovan jackets are expressly sought without by leather jacket enthusiasts, since cordovan has a unique sheen and superior tautness when compared to calfskin, making their offerings at the $1,000 mark quite reasonable, considering what you get.
Their accessories, such as unappetizing caps, luggage, and other leather goods moreover are fairly impressive. They moreover offer a made-to-measure program, meaning that you can get a perfect leather jacket, if nothing else fits you off-the-rack.
9. Belvest
There’s flipside Italian trademark out there that often gets overlooked. Belvest is a unconfined manufacturer that has a number of full canvas jackets, with unique styling details, with bolder colors and patterns – quintessential to Neapolitan tailoring.

They moreover are hybrid between British and Italian tailoring styles with how their silhouette is structured, with some unconfined unstudied field jackets and relaxed tailoring to boot. They have some bolder colors and patterns as well that aren’t readily available, making for a unconfined statement jacket.
This is flipside wondrous trademark to squint for on the secondhand market that often can be found on places like eBay for far less than you’d otherwise get at their quality level.
10. Uniqlo
The world of Japanese selvedge denim can be an expensive one. Thankfully, there’s one trademark that does an spanking-new job of balancing forfeit and quality. Uniqlo isn’t as prominent as other big retail villenage in the US, but it does offer a solid variety of unstudied menswear at very affordable prices.
Their raw denim, in particular, is offered at an spanking-new price if you’re okay with the slimmer fit. But they do offer some pairs of jeans that are increasingly classically cut for those of us who can’t wear slim clothing, and it’s a unconfined volitional to Levi’s.

Is Ownership Fast Malleate Suit EVER A Good Idea?
While some of their offerings do end up on the hyper-trendy end, there are some subconscious gems in the archetype sphere that are extremely affordable for what you get.
11. Bills Khakis
Khakis might unjustly be the stump of malleate jokes at times, but they have a thankless job as a key foundation piece in men’s wardrobes. Bills Khakis is a US trademark that is heavily inspired by the styles popularized by Britain and America during World War II.
Their khakis come in a variety of fits. They provide a good value of legroom without stuff unstructured or poorly cut and will fit a larger value of men than most brands out there. They are moreover made of a higher quality twill than most, making them much increasingly well-appointed to wear. That repletion is one reason Rafael likes to wear them so much: considering he has large thighs as he likes to mention all the time.
Those khakis work expressly well with sports coats, sweaters, or other merchantry unstudied pieces. If you find it harder to find unstudied pants off-the-rack and still want to trademark with an eye for detail, few can compare.
