From the bar after a long day on the water to a weekend getaway far from the dock, looking good off the water doesn’t have to mean stepping away from the waterman lifestyle. Because a day on the water doesn’t end when the boat hits the dock — some of the best moments happen after, whether that’s grabbing food with friends, heading into town, or settling into a well-earned weekend away.
Huk’s off-the-water gear carries that same laid-back, tide-driven energy into everything that happens once the rods are stowed and the boat is tied up. This guide highlights gifts built for men who spend their days chasing tides and their evenings living life to the fullest. Whether you’re shopping for him or you are that man looking to elevate your off-the-water look, these pieces blend coastal comfort with clean, everyday style — keeping him sharp, comfortable, and ready for whatever comes next.
Layers Built for Life Beyond the Water
Chesapeake Flannel
When the boat is tied up and the evening cools down, this is the layer he reaches for. The Chesapeake Flannel fits right into those post-water plans — grabbing a bite at the marina, sitting by a backyard fire, or taking a walk through town after a long day in the sun.

Hawser Flannel
Once he rinses off the salt and gets ready for the night, the Hawser steps in. Rugged but refined, it’s the shirt he throws on before meeting friends for drinks or heading out for a casual date. It still captures his waterman edge, just with a cleaner finish.
