In the chaos of the holiday season — travel, gift wrapping, holiday hosting, holiday baking, last-minute shopping — shouldn’t some things be simple? Some things, like stepping into a pair of the best men’s sweatpants, yes, should certainly be simple.

And for rare moments of relaxation and casual days at home, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants are making their case as a newfound holiday essential. Of course, they come from my good friends at Huckberry, and they’ve arrived not a moment too soon for some crucial holiday time kicking back — classic movies on TV and egg nog (or a nice dram of whiskey, or both) close at hand.

Granted, holiday hosting (as well as venturing out to a holiday party) requires something with more polish, more style and a bit more refinement, agreed? But for plenty of downtime in between — if you’re lucky, that is — I’d wager a pair of the best sweatpants for men can pull their weight, and then some.

The Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants are made the classic way, with a midweight French Terry cotton getting some extra softness via garment-dying — that makes ’em feel like these are the sweats you’ve worn for years, with the comfort to match.
A ribbed drawstring waistband and cuffs provide a secure, customizable fit — if your holiday celebrations tend to lean more casual at times, then you’ll very well want to wear your new favorite sweatpants in front of a roaring fire after a packed holiday meal.

Like all things Huckberry, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants come in a range of versatile colors, and they feature side slant pockets and a useful back pocket (stow your bottle opener in one of ’em as you crack open a holiday beer). They’re certainly not the fanciest pants in your style rotation, but that’s not a bad thing.

Think of the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants as a worthwhile casual style upgrade that you can feel good about wearing (and feel good while wearing, if the weather outside is frightful). Team them with wool slipper-boots from Huckberry, for instance, and settle in for “A Christmas Story,” or “Christmas Vacation,” or “Elf,” or, well… you get the drift, and you know the sweatpants you’ll be wearing this holiday season.
