There’s something to be said for menswear brands that feel modern and of the moment, while at the same time delivering a sense of classic style, the kind that’s rarely ever out of place. Of course, you’ll find those sorts of menswear essentials in spades at fan-favorite Americana-adventure retailer Huckberry, assuredly one of the best online style brands for guys – and a personal favorite.
So when the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder — the company’s flagship in-house line — put their heads together on a new, made-in-Texas collection, the results are absolutely worth checking out ASAP.
My friends, meet the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection, a tightly curated, ridiculously well-made trio of Western workwear style picks perfectly suited for the moment at hand.

After all, everything Western seems to be a growing trend in menswear, but Flint and Tinder doesn’t feel like a bandwagon hopper — the brand does things the right way, with quality and rugged appeal top of mind. The Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection is an outstanding example of top-notch craftsmanship, endlessly cool style points and a nod to Western heritage, done the Huckberry way.

From the richly crafted Waxy Kudo Roper Boots to a line of Flint and Tinder Reserve Denim (crafted from best-in-class selvedge cotton), the new offering is a stellar study in craft, hard work and attention to detail (four different types of selvedge denim certainly nod to that approach).
The great news is, a tough and hard-working pair of selvedge denim pairs up expertly with Western-style boots, along with F&T staples like a handsome roughout trucker jacket or a durable Western denim shirt.
And as Huckberry says of its boot partnership in this collection with famed bootmakers Rios of Mercedes, the family-owned company boasts “rich history that lends itself quite nicely to what the company calls “a one-of-a-kind roper boot.”

And when it comes to the jeans on offer within the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection, you’ve got your pick from a deep inky black pair of selvedge to classic shade of Khaki and Olive. Each pair of some of the best jeans for men boast a hard-wearing, break-in-ready 13-oz. Japanese fabric that’s also woven on antique shuttle looms — in Texas, of course.

A YKK zipper, hand-numbered labels and sturdy hardware deliver a tough finish and long-lasting wearability, as you’ve come to expect from Hukberry. The bottom hems feature a real selvedge finish, the kind you can show off when cuffing your jeans.
Between the incredibly well-made, frankly beautiful roper boots and a selection of old-school selvedge denim, it looks to me like the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection hits the mark on the head when it comes to both the old-world and the modern — get your pair of boots (or jeans!) while they’re still in stock.
