The Thursday Buy: The Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt Is Your New Favorite Workshirt for Spring

When it comes time to welcome a new season, sometimes, it’s about getting back to work — literally and figuratively, be it spring cleaning, an early season road trip or a day in the yard (or at the bar). And as one might expect, there are plenty of menswear essentials from Huckberry to help you in all of those pursuits. In my experience, the retailer gets better with each passing season, and that certainly goes for the rugged Americana menswear of Flint and Tinder.

Naturally, you know the brand for its hard-wearing waxed jackets, comfortable stretch denim and classic everyday chinos, but the Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt takes things a step further.

As Huckberry rightly notes, chambray fabric — with its woven, interlocking white-and-blue fibers and tough, durable construction — has been a part of classic workwear pieces dating back a century (at least). The San Francisco and Austin-based retailer also notes that, well, “You can’t talk about workwear without talking about chambray shirts.”

Best chambray shirt for men.

They’re right on the money with that take, and the Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt, with 100 percent cotton construction in a breathable yet durable 5.5oz. weight, works well on its own or layered up with your favorite T-shirt on a breezy spring day.

Two button-front chest pockets (including one with a pen or tool slot) add an air of hard-working utility to the aptly named Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt, which also comes in a cool-as-can-be Natural Seeded Chambray color. Either way, it’s a hard-working option fit for whatever spring throws at you this season.
