What to Wear on Fourth of July: The Best American-Made Clothes for Men

By Beau Hayhoe June 24, 2019

Make no mistake, we’re all about dressing for the occasion, particularly if that occasion happens to be the Fourth of July. Instead of draping yourself in something covered in the Stars and Stripes, let’s take things up a notch in terms of style. Reach for uniquely patriotic menswear that just so happens to be made in America. You can put these picks together in one outfit or you can mix and match as you please. No matter what you do or where you go for the holiday, pack at least a few in your weekender bag. These are stylish picks that have a domestically made pedigree without going over the top. You’re going to be the best-dressed guy during your Independence Day celebrations, we guarantee that.

Splurge on a classic colorblock tee made in the States from repurposed materials. Just a touch of blue and white goes a long way on the Fourth of July, especially when paired with tan chinos and canvas sneakers.

Independence Day, just like Labor Day or Memorial Day, is all about casual style that is laidback and versatile at the same time. That’s a lot of boxes to tick, and the American-made Flint and Tinder Weekend Short, with its comfortable stretch waist, take care of business handsomely.

We saved the best for last — at least, that’s how we feel when it comes to this remarkably classic, exceedingly tough, American-made field watch. You might not need another watch for years and years.

Are you looking forward to camping in the great outdoors this fall? High five! That makes two of us. Before you pack your bags and head out of town, though, you need to consider the type of outdoor clothes you need to wear, as well as the weather, terrain, and activities to plan for during the days in and around your campsite.

No, you don’t just pick whatever shirt is available in your favorite retail outlet. You need to prioritize functionality and fabric. For example, investing in a high-quality outdoor jacket and moisture-wicking clothing is a wise decision as it will make your trip more comfortable. Meanwhile, wearing hiking pants and long-sleeve shirts or performance t-shirts wards off pesky insects and protects you from the unpredictable weather.
