If you’re a fan of menswear, travel style and turkey, Huckberry is here to set you up with Thanksgiving travel essentials fit for the road ahead.

From a very stylish addition to your everyday carry to the gear you need now from Taylor Stitch, there’s no denying that your travel menswear game shouldn’t slip when you hit the road — and the best part about packing with style in mind? These are pieces you can hang onto long after the turkey’s been put away.

Flint & Tinder Bomber Jacket [$178]

Step number one — or rather, number two — when dressing for travel should absolutely involve putting on a stylish bomber jacket for the trip ahead. And as you can see at the top of the page, you can’t go wrong with a classic, slim-cut option made in America from the fine folks at Flint and Tinder — and you’d do well to pack one of the brand’s slim henleys in your bag as you hit the road, too.

That’s where Taylor Stitch comes into play — from the brand’s classic Everyday Chambray Shirt to the much-loved Yosemite Shirt, they specialize in comfortable, polished and well-made staples that’ll look as great at the dinner table on Thanksgiving as they will when you hit the bar the night before.
