Just as no man is an island, no one’s rotation of the best menswear essentials is ever quite fully complete, or fully finished…. right? At least, that’s the case if you believe in the small details making the difference, and in the need to complement a casually rugged #OOTD the right way.

In the case of today’s standout featured pick — a pick you should just buy if you’re search of an expert way to top off your outfit — the details certainly count. That’s because we’re talking about a Flint and Tinder ballcap, one made the right way, the proper way by the good folks at Huckberry — the sort of ballcap that might put other casual ballcaps in your rotation to shame.

That’s lofty praise, to be sure, but for under $40 on sale at the moment, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat hits on all the marks you’d expect from an accessory bearing the praise-worthy F&T designation. For one, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat is truly a ballcap that can take a beating come fall and winter, and that’s not to be overlooked

Sure, it might not be the hat you’d reach for in the depths of a blizzard, of course (save a Huckberry beanie cap for that). And yet, its waxed canvas crown is nicely complemented by a seasonally friendly corduroy brim for texture, style and toughness.

In fact, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat might break in just as nicely as your favorite Flint and Tinder waxed trucker jacket — if you’ve had one of those covetable trucker jackets in your rotation for years, then you know that Huckberry means business.

It’s as if this cap (assuredly one of the best ballcaps for men) was made to pair up with rugged picks like a denim sherpa jacket or a flannel overshirt and a sturdy pair of blue jeans. Beyond that, the right ballcap shields your face from sun, rain and wind, proving critical in times of work and times of leisure (another round of brewery beers, anyone?).

Details like the leather strapback and brass fastener further deepen the durability of the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat, at least in my experience. And while that might be lofty praise to call it one of the best men’s hats on the market, it’s certainly a fine deal at the moment for under $40.
