Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket – A New Take on a Style Icon

Flint and Tinder menswear review.

Out of all the classic menswear on the market — or at least, classic silhouettes made modern — there’s a reason the best of the best truly stand the test of time and look great while doing so. It’s something we talk about plenty here on this style blog, especially as it relates to layering up for the brisk temperatures at hand out there, out in the field.

Of course, as you might have guessed, that’s where Huckberry menswear can deliver the right blend of rugged appeal, timeless style, durability and good looks to boot.

Learn more now and shop at Huckberry

Throw in the fact that one of those styles on offer is the newly introduced Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket, and you’ve got a recipe for rugged, layered up winter style success aplenty.

While this jacket has much to live up to compared to iconic Flint and Tinder waxed jackets, it’s a safe bet that the rugged, Americana-inspired in-house brand at Huckberry is up to the challenge — that includes everything from the brand’s utterly soft T-shirts to its expertly faded blue jeans.

Now, I’d wager that the Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket should live up to that dependable, stylish billing in every way possible.

The Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket takes its cues from the very best of the old-school best, as Huckberry says this hard-wearing jacket is “a traditional barn coat designed for everyday wear,” then upgraded with a modern fit and fabrication.

Built with a stretch cotton blend and finished with a traditional corduroy collar and cuffs, it’s timeless in every way possible, featuring a riveted chest pocket, a button-flap right-side chest pocket and drop-in patch front hip pockets, all the better to stow and haul your everyday carry essentials.

The Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket features a button front and adjustable button cuffs for a customizable fit, while this handsome barn coat manages to get the details utterly correct across both of its earthy, timeless color options.

On that note, I’m personally a fan of the versatility of the Dark Olive color shown here, although Light Khaki would wear remarkably well come spring with light wash jeans.

The use of stretch cotton throughout means this durable barn jacket boasts a more lightweight feel than other winter jackets, so feel free to layer it atop a crewneck sweatshirt or a thick thermal henley and chambray shirt.

For rugged style points and utility you can rely on day after day, opt for a new favorite like the Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket — your wardrobe will thank you later.

The newly reintroduced Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket fits the bill perfectly in that regard, using a remarkable blend of quality, craftsmanship and tough-as-nails fabrication to get the details just right (and then some).

Best waxed jackets for men.

The Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket starts off with a supple yet sturdy build featuring what the company calls a “beefy 14.75oz Raymond waxed cotton canvas,” amped up on the inside and outside with cozy yet strong features like a lining crafted from the brand’s custom Klamath Flannel pattern blanket fabrication.

The effect is visually pleasing as well as cozy and warm — how much more can you ask for from one of the best waxed jackets for men, ehh? Gusseted shoulders and a fit cut to hit just above the hip drive home the utility of this jacket, for good measure.

Iron and Resin menswear review.

Dependable details truly make the difference when it comes to the Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket, including a heavy-duty front zipper and reliable storm closure flap for extra coverage. Front chest pockets and lower hip pockets offer space for your everyday carry essentials, a wise move given that you’ll want to get plenty of wear out of your new favorite waxed jacket.

If it seems as if the company thought of just about everything as far as the handsome and highly dependable Iron and Resin Raymond Cruiser Jacket is concerned, that’s because, at least in my experience, they certainly did.

Throw in a pair that’s tried-and-true, tested for work as well as serious style points and durability, and you might say we’re cookin’ with gas, as the adage goes.

Shop the best gear for men now at Huckberry

And so it goes with today’s on-sale pick, a barnburner of a discount from the Huckberry Sale section revolving around the Rhodes Footwear Work Wedge Chelsea Boots.

Style Pick of the Week: Filson Bristol Cardigan – An Old-School, Seriously Rugged Winter Sweater for Men

Best shawl cardigans for men.

In the most trying of times, when winter’s worst weather simply won’t let up — a common theme these days from my Brooklyn abode and elsewhere across the polar vortex — what tends to work is some of the most reliable, toughest menswear on the market.

Even if you’re merely venturing across town rather than embarking far afield, the best winter style essentials make it count in terms of weather-readiness, functionality and plain ole classic style points. That’s where Filson should earn place of pride in your menswear wardrobe, my friends.

Shop new winter menswear from Filson

Of course, if you’ve kept up with this blog over the seasons, you know that to be true, as the famed Pacific Northwest retailer still delivers the good when it comes to the best waxed jackets, tough flannel shirts in a variety of fabric weights, sturdy waxed work pants and — in the case of today’s weekend style dispatch — one of the best shawl cardigans for men.

My Filson reviews as of late have praised the brand for dependability and performance in a range of iconic styles, the sort of gear outdoorsmen have trusted for decades — and it doesn’t hurt that a modern-day selection like the Filson Bristol Cardigan Sweater looks like something a style icon like Steve McQueen might have cherished “back in the day,” ehh?

Filson Bristol Cardigan review.

The shawl cardigan sweater is — as I’ve written about lately for sites like CoolMaterial — a style that, in similar fashion to the classic henley or the chambray shirt — can serve to make every guy look good, adding a dash of rugged appeal to reliable pieces like blue jeans and trusty leather boots.

And when it comes to the Filson Bristol Cardigan Sweater, the same mix of throwback charm and modern warmth holds true. The shawl collar frames the face while adding some heft and extra warmth around the back of your neck — and you can still knot a scarf looped down the front, if need be.

It’s certainly an investment at $349, but it doesn’t cut corners in manners of looks or material. Thick-knit 100 percent wool means the Filson Bristol Cardigan Sweater is going to prove extra warm when worn underneath a waxed field coat or an insulated Filson coat, while it’s woven in a thick fisherman’s vertical ribbed design (again, making the Filson Bristol Cardigan Sweater an utterly classic piece that menswear heroes of days gone by would have loved).

Shop men’s sweaters and more now at Filson

In two go-anywhere, wear-with-nearly-anything colors (that’d be Navy and Forest Green Heather), the handsome Filson Bristol Cardigan Sweater wears exceptionally well with a natural-hued henley or with a faded denim shirt out in the wild — or at your favorite distillery, for instance.

Two lower hip pockets deliver the classic style any good cardigan needs, and it just so happens that no matter where you go — from a wooded forest cabin to a mountainside retreat — a piece like the Filson Bristol Cardigan Sweater is built to take you there, back again and just about anywhere you dream up this winter.

The Friday Find: This Warren Chamois Shirt is a Perfect USA-Made Addition to Your Winter Wardrobe

It’s all too easy for a brand to take shortcuts these days, to outsource production or find a cheaper way of doing things, and while it’s certainly not economical for the menswear lovers like you and me, it tends to make a heck of a lot of difference when you find a brand doing precisely the opposite.

It’s quite the heady topic rolling into a new year, and again, it might not be feasible to stock your entire wardrobe with the best USA-made menswear. And yet, if you want to feel a durable difference in every stitch, packed with style points in each piece to boot, you very well might love what’s happening at New England’s Warren, a brand I’ve enjoyed getting to wear and getting to learn about across the past year or so.

Find out more now at Warren

The brand centers its sourcing and production around New England in a major change of how plenty of other retailers (albeit larger!) are doing things these days, and the gettin’ gets better from there, so to speak.

From a durable-as-can-be rugged chore coat to a vintage-inspired sweatshirt and a stellar, small-batch run of utterly classic chinos, Warren checks off the proper boxes as far as menswear classics and timeless wardrobe building blocks are concerned.

The brand is a new one on the scene, but ranks up near the very top when it comes to my favorite American-made menswear brands — and if I had to wager, I’d say the Warren Walden Chamois Shirt should only strengthen that feeling.

The Warren Walden Chamois Shirt starts with a sturdy 7.05oz. organic cotton twill fabric from American Woolen (the cotton is grown and spun in the American South, the company notes). Followed by brushing and garment-dying in New Hampshire, you’re left with a near-perfect chamois shirt, one that should prove utterly soft yet dependable out of the box, and entirely ready to make your own.

This dependable winter staple draws its inspiration from Maine winters and coastal shirting that’s proven a must-have in fierce Nor’easters aplenty, and Warren duly notes the Warren Walden Chamois Shirt was “inspired by the practical shirts worn across New England’s backwoods and work yards.”

Whether worn with sturdy chinos or cool-as-can-be corduroy trousers, or else with canvas work pants atop a thermal henley when your to-do list calls, you’ve found the perfect shirt for the occasion in the Warren Walden Chamois Shirt.
