It’s hard to go wrong with a closet packed chock-full of style essentials you can trust day in and day out, but the challenge is building out that closet, like a menswear toolbox, is it not?

And yet, therein lies the fun of the menswear world: When you’ve carefully curated your wardrobe in terms of quality, style and effortlessly classic appeal, as with gear from my friends at Huckberry, the options are nearly limitless and the style potential keeps on going and going.

I’ve certainly found that to be the case over the years with Huckberry’s Flint and Tinder lineup, an offering focused on rugged menswear and gear that just won’t quit. And if you’ve read this Brooklyn style blog and my Flint and Tinder reviews, you know that the brand is famous for quality and timeless, enduring style — including its waxed trucker jackets, of course, and its new lineup of the best men’s flannel shirts.

The Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt is the latest and greatest shirt to join that rotation, featuring rugged good looks, modern fabric and that sense of classic style you can only get from the best flannel shirts for men. Call it a modern spin on a classic, as we so often love to write about and wear — at least in my neck of the woods.

And in my experience with Flint and Tinder flannel shirts, you’re getting rich quality, durability and classic good looks in one package — just in time for the holiday season, when the right flannel shirt can pull double or triple duty with expertly faded blue jeans, corduroy trousers and even a soft-shouldered navy blazer and charcoal flannel dress pants.

The hits certainly keep rolling when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt and its rich array of color options in terms of style points, while four-way stretch knit fabric and a contrasting collar and cuffs work together for the perfect balance between form and function.

The Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt also features dual chest pockets for a blend between a shirt jacket and a traditional flannel buttondown, and the weight of the shirt itself should prove hearty and prime for layering atop thermal henleys and chambray shirting alike.

The Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt also hits the nail on the head in matters of style points: Just one look at the eye-catching array of plaid colorways is enough to make you want to stock up. That’s what the season is all about, at least if you ask me: Finding the pieces you love to wear, then making ’em work for you, and the Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt gets the job done handily in that regard, my friends.
