Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim

Some of the best men’s jeans for spring and summer.

Any list of spring and summer style essentials has to have a pair of the best light wash jeans, right? They’re the proper way to trade out your heavyweight selvage, and a nice in-between when you don’t want to wear your favorite shorts. The pair you’re looking for, the pair you’ve been waiting for and hoping to find, well, that pair is the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim, my friends. They’re as reliable as it gets, they’re as stylish as can be, they look great with more casual or more tailored essentials (like your favorite Oxford shirt), and between the light weight and the light wash, they’re the best jeans for spring and summer. Now, if you read the blog on the regular (which I certainly hope you do!), then you know all about Flint and Tinder, the rugged-yet-classic and frequently made-in-America brand from Huckberry.

Of course, Huckberry has long been one of my favorite retailers (find my other favorites in The Style Guide Shop), so it’s no surprise that Flint and Tinder churns out consistently excellent staples like the best light wash jeans for men, season after season… after season. F&T also makes one of the coolest lightweight shirts for men, plus rugged shirt jackets and plenty more. So, it helps that the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim pairs more than readily with those Huckberry style essentials, right? Yessir.

SHOP: The Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim

Selvage construction makes these more durable, despite the comfortable stretch.

So, what else makes this pair some of the best jeans for men, period? It comes down to the stretch selvage fabric blend, which blends 13.4oz. denim fabric (heavier selvage can top 15oz. or more) with 4 percent polyester & spandex. That slight amount of stretch is going to help these jeans move and breath easier, crucial on days when you want to wear jeans but don’t want to suffer for your style. The Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvage Denim also feature a true custom gold selvage ID, as shown above — these jeans are the real deal. And it continues to get better, because these jeans are made in the denim hotbed that is Los Angeles. Plus, the hardware is custom to F&T, and the YKK zipper won’t give out on you. I’ve got a pair of these jeans myself, and I reach for ’em every chance I get. I think you will, too.

Yes indeed, these are the best men’s jeans for spring, for summer and beyond that. You know you can count on Flint and Tinder, right? Absolutely. Wear these with a breezy Flint and Tinder T-shirt or an equally breezy Flint and Tinder polo for perfectly laidback seasonal style. And just like that, your warm-weather wardrobe gets a major upgrade.

The Thursday Buy: These Relwen Shorts from Huckberry Are The Best Men’s Shorts for Summer

Your new favorite shorts for spring and summer.

Consider this your lucky day if you want to stock up on the best men’s style essentials for summer — and more to the point, the best shorts for men this summer, because we’ve got ’em right here, right now in today’s Thursday Buy. With Memorial Day looming and summer adventures aplenty on the horizon, the Relwen Flyweight Flex Shorts, as sold by our good friends at Huckberry, are the versatile and durable shorts you didn’t know you needed.

Or perhaps, you knew you needed upgraded shorts, but didn’t where to start. Again, you’re in luck today with some of the best men’s shorts, and that’s great news for all of us. If you’re not familiar with Relwen, know that the brand makes everything from polos to outerwear to lightweight technical pants, all with a distinctly classic bent that’s derived from field gear and military wear. I love Relwen men’s jackets in particular, but it’s a pair of the best utility shorts for men that have me hankering to get out there this summer. The Relwen Flyweight Flex Shorts use a sateen cotton twill that’s smooth and yet durable, blended with polyester for the perfect amount of stretch this spring and summer.

SHOP: The Relwen Flyweight Flex Shorts

One of three cool colors in which you can get this standout pair of shorts for spring and summer.

And when it comes to your new favorite shorts, Relwen isn’t cutting any corners — these aren’t that ratty old pair of cargo shorts you’ve been wearing. No sir, they’re cut nice and tailored, but not too slim, with a 9-inch inseam that’s not too long. If you want shorts with a 7-inch inseam, you should check out the Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts, but let’s keep it tuned right here, right now with the Relwen Flyweight Flex Shorts.

Available in colors like Bright Navy and the cool Faded Camo as shown above, these shorts are distinctive and yet versatile, able to be paired up with your favorite short-sleeve henley or a Relwen polo at a moment’s notice. Plus, they feature a gusseted crotch for greater ease of movement on the trail or when bellying up to the bar. On top of that, the details in this pair of the best shorts for men are well-thought out, too. That includes the black oxidized zipper, snap, and metal button hardware on the Relwen Flyweight Flex Shorts, of course. Now, they’re more expensive than your average pair of shorts (they retail for $158 at Huckberry), but they’ve got the versatility and the style points to back up the price. They’ll work well with stylish canvas sneakers or even hybrid hiking sneakers, not to mention your favorite short-sleeve shirts for summer. If you ask me, it’s a wonder that the Relwen Flyweight Flex Shorts aren’t in your digital shopping cart already.

It’s true, and with summer ramping up in quick succession, that’s why you’re going to want to stop by Free Fly Apparel ASAP for the Free Fly Heritage Short-Sleeve Henley. That’s right: A short-sleeve henley.

Ditch the extra fabric and keep your long-sleeve henley in the closet, because a rugged short-sleeve henley, as we’ve talked about in the past here on the blog, is every bit as essential to keep in your rotation as, say, one of the best men’s T-shirts. The short-sleeve henley looks good on every guy, it’s a casual step up from a T-shirt that looks even cooler than you might imagine, and yes, the Free Fly Heritage Short-Sleeve Henley is the one to buy now.

An affordable and functional henley that looks great with plenty of casual summer style staples.

You won’t often find such a stellar henley for under $50, especially not one that comes in a versatile range of colors, from Black to the Light Heather Grey shown above. And about that innovative fabric blend: Your new favorite henley is made from a stretch-filled, breathable blend of 50 percent viscose from bamboo and 50 percent cotton. Plus, you get UPF 50+ sun protection, which could make this the best henley to wear outdoors this season (just make sure you get sunscreen on those arms).

Better still, consider bringing along your Free Fly Bamboo Hoodie if you’re planning for a long time in the sun. Either way, with the Free Fly Heritage Short-Sleeve Henley, you’re getting a piece you can wear with your favorite shorts and leather boat shoes as easily as it can be paired with the best men’s jeans for spring and the best leather high-top sneakers.

The bottom line is that no matter how you choose to wear the Free Fly Heritage Short-Sleeve Henley, it’s going to prove breathable, moisture-wicking, supremely comfortable and… supremely stylish. Start shopping ASAP.

What’s missing from your wardrobe? Is it one of the best shirt jackets for men? If you wear your overshirt the right way this (late) spring and (early) summer, it can easily become a casual ensemble that turns into a new go-to look, no matter where you’re headed or what’s on your (late) spring and (early) summer agenda. Of course, it’s not possible without one of the best shirt jackets for men in your rotation, the kind that blends rugged appeal with standout good looks and versatile style. Naturally, if it gets too hot, ditch the shirt jacket. But for now, go for it. That shirt jacket is, in fact, the Flint and Tinder CPO Shirt Jacket, ladies and gentlemen. It’s got all the grab-and-go versatility that the best men’s shirt jackets have, from the sturdy-yet-lightweight construction to the cool, spring and summer-friendly color from Flint and Tinder. The right shirt jacket wears well with plenty of other laidback seasonal picks, including a slub cotton T-shirt and slim light wash jeans.

This is a look that’s going to pull double-duty at the brewery patio or the sidewalk coffee shop, and especially at that long-awaited reunion with friends and family this season. Toss in handy pockets for your everyday carry essentials, team the look with your new favorite chukka boots, then get ready to enjoy one heck of a fine spring or summer day. As mentioned above, if it gets too hot out, ditch your Flint and Tinder shirt jacket and toss it in your rugged carryall bag. Does that sound too easy? Well, that’s probably a good thing, because it actually is that easy to put together the best #OOTD for spring and summer. Have a great one out there, folks — the full look is below.

Now, then. Whom among us is geared up for the proper start of summer with the best men’s style essentials and of course, the best way to wear a shirt jacket for the breezy months ahead? The versatile durability and style of the Flint and Tinder CPO Shirt Jacket nearly goes without saying, but it’s got plenty of rugged good looks to go everywhere from the bonfire to the brewery and back. You can even wear it as a blazer stand-in for casual days back at the office or Zoom calls. That makes it one of the best shirt jackets for men, and it only gets better when you consider the other gear you’re pairing with it.

We’re talking one of the best summer T-shirts for men, plus some of the best light wash jeans for summer and when you throw in a pair of OBRA sneakers at Huckberry, the look only gets cooler. Stop by UNCRATE to get one of the coolest men’s watches (and before I forget, accessorize your look with a pair of the best no-show socks).

The Sunday Sale: Get More Than 30 Percent Off This Travel Duffle From Herschel Supply Co.

Cross another week off the calendar and commence your summer road trip planning, because you’ve just come across the best weekender bag for getaways and well beyond that. As with every entry in the Sunday Sale, we’re going to hook you up with one of the best men’s style essentials, available at a standout price — one that’s almost too good to be true. And as is the case every week, the focus is on versatility and utility as well as standout style. Ladies and gentlemen, the Herschel Supply Co. Coast Duffle is the perfect weekender bag, and it’s more than 30 percent off right now. It can be tough to find a deal on one of the best weekender bags for men, given that it’s a big-ticket item that’s often asked to do a heck of a lot when it comes to hauling your everyday carry essentials. After all, not just any old bag will do, will it? No, sir.

Herschel notes that this bag pairs a “clean urban aesthetic with rugged utility” and that’s about as apt of a description as you can conjure up here. It’s sleek, yet tough, as apt to throw in the back of your car for a cabin trip as it is for a weekend stay at a boutique resort (and both sound pretty great right now, do they not?).

SHOP: The Herschel Supply Co. Coast Duffle

It’s something of a specialty for Herschel Supply Co. to churn out the best travel bags for men at standout prices to begin with, and when you consider that this bag now retails for just a shade over $100, that’s even better news for you.

Coast Duffle boasts a handy roll-top clip closure for easy access to your EDC haul, while the handles are made from tough seatbelt webbing — they won’t give out on you even if you load this bag up to the max. Screen-printed detailing helps this bag stand out noticeably on the trail, too. This is one of the most versatile weekender bags you can buy, and it’s priced to sell at more than 30 percent off. How cool is that, right?? Plus, 44 liters of carrying capacity gives you more than enough room for all your favorite menswear essentials. Before your first summer getaway, make sure you add the Herschel Supply Co. Coast Duffle to your shopping cart (and your seasonal rotation). You won’t regret it.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder 5-Pocket Chinos

I tend to ring in spring and summer in several different ways, from cold beer to a stylish T-shirt in my rotation, and you know what pairs well with both of those essentials? A pair of the best men’s chinos, a seasonal staple that can actually be worn in any season — but one that’s at its best when worn as part of your new spring and summer wardrobe. And Todd Snyder’s 5-Pocket Chinos are the latest and greatest pair up for consideration. The best chinos for men are versatile — these are highly versatile (note the slim fit and jean-like construction). The best chinos for men are highly stylish — note the cool range of colors.

And the best chinos for men are, well, these ones. Just as Todd Snyder makes one of the best overshirts for men or one of the most essential cashmere sweaters out there, so too does he come through with an essential pair of classic pants for men, the kind you’re going to want to wear all summer long. And whether it’s the casual-yet-sharp design (similar to denim) or the 11 colorways from which to choose from, you’re getting what just might be considered your new favorite pair of pants.

SHOP: The Todd Snyder Slim-Fit 5-Pocket Chinos

As with all things Todd Snyder, it all starts with the fabric and construction. In this case, the Todd Snyder Slim-Fit 5-Pocket Chinos start with a cotton-polyester-lycra fabric blend, which means they’ve got enough stretch to wear as you work from home or explore a favorite part of your hometown (yes, you can and should wear them to either the coffee shop or the brewery, folks!). The stretch cotton twill fabric is also garment-dyed for a nice, comfortable feel right out of the box.

And they wouldn’t be some of the best chinos for men without a cleanly tailored fit, the kind that looks great with everything from your favorite T-shirt to a classic denim shirt. Heck, you can even wear these tailored chinos more casually with one of the best hoodies for men — how great is that sort of versatility, ehh? The fact that they’re built like jeans is crucial in adding to that utility — wear ’em with everything from canvas sneakers to your favorite chukka boots, too. Of course, it’s going to be tough to decide between the cool-as-heck colorways on hand, including Surplus Olive as seen above. Whichever pair you go with though, you’re getting some excellent bang for your buck (they’re $148 at Todd Snyder), and the type of go-anywhere style potential you crave. Who could say no to that?

The Friday Read: The Best Weekend Getaway Bag, New Spring Jeans & The World’s Oldest Whiskey

We’re through another spring week and we’re drawing closer, ever-so-slightly closer, to the days of summer travel. Right off the bat, get on out there and enjoy Mother’s Day (safely!) — more on that in a moment. I’m feeling a mixture of excitement and some trepidation, but mark my words when I say I know how I’m going to hit the road: In style, of course. If this whole road trip thing feels unfamiliar, it’s best to start, in my estimation, with the gear you’re bringing, like the best bag for a weekend getaway. That bag, my friends, comes from Herschel Supply Co. and is available right now for under $100 in an array of new, seasonally friendly colors. It’s the Herschel Novel Duffle, which I talked about here as being the best bag for winter road trips.

Well, guess what — it’s ready for spring and summer, too. It looks great, it performs spectacularly and it’s got 33 liters of carrying capacity. Call it the best weekender bag on the market, if you please, but make sure it ends up in your shopping cart to start this weekend. Now that you’ve crossed one item off your to-do list, let’s roll onward with the Friday Read.

As for me, well, I’m staying plenty busy on the road myself this weekend. My time in Florida is nearing an end, but I’ve loved the sun, the sand, the local craft beer from Point Ybel Brewing and the chance to safely catch up with family. I’ve still got plenty in the works on the writing front, including my ongoing, twice-weekly stories at Jacob Graye (more on that in a second), plus my latest and greatest for The Manual — in addition to this blog and my music-menswear-craft beer newsletter (be sure to hit Subscribe!). What’s on your weekend to-do list? Any great weekend starts, in my mind, with the coolest gear on the planet. Prepare accordingly right now.

Before we go too deep into, say, the best new sneakers to pair with your getaway bag, let’s talk about the best light wash jeans to bring on that weekend trip. Nudie Jeans makes styles like the Nudie Jeans Lean Dean, a classic slim-straight fit, with plenty of quality top of mind. The tapered leg, light wash and organic cotton construction all make them worthy of the top slot to lead into the rest of today’s Friday Read.

I talked on the blog last week about the best new sneakers to buy from GREATS, so consider this yet another reminder that the time is here to stock up on even more of your new favorite sneakers for spring and summer. To get to the point: The GREATS Royale Eco Mesh Sneakers are lightweight, they’re sustainable, they’re easy to wear with tailored shorts or olive chinos, or light wash jeans for men from Nudie, and they’re easy on your pocketbook, too. Go on, get the best new sneakers for men ASAP. Oh, and remember that you can get 15 percent off your first order with the code BROOKLYN15.
- Speaking of GREATS, you should know that the brand is also offering a last-second Mother’s Day promo — you can get 20 percent off orders of $75 or more with the code MOMSDAY. Talk about a perfect gift for the mom who loves sneakers, ehh?
As mentioned in the headline, well, I know at least one place you can go to read about the world’s oldest whiskey. Yes, that’s right: The oldest whiskey in the world in fact hails from down South in Georgia, and you can read all about the full scoop in my latest dispatch for Maxim.com. How cool is that news?? Very cool, indeed. Cheers to that.
Here’s another fun dispatch for you from my neck of the woods. Over at the recently revamped lifestyle site Jacob Graye, I wrote about the best beard care products for men, no matter how long or short your mane happens to be. Give it a read and try some of those stellar products out for yourself.

Let’s wrap things up for the weekend (for now) with one last dispatch for your Friday enjoyment. Battling spring rain and wind is a never-ending task based on where you live (looking at you, my friends in the Pacific Northwest), so might as well get a jacket that can match every challenge. Click on through to this blog post to read all about the best jacket for spring rain from Eddie Bauer, in fact. Stay dry, stay stylish and let’s get out there this season.

The Thursday Buy: The Buck Mason Slub Pocket Tee is the Best Pocket Tee On the Market

The coolest white T-shirt on the market? Possibly.

When it comes to finding the best menswear for spring and summer, I know one place I like to turn towards consistently, and perhaps you’re as well-acquainted with said brand as I am. The brand, ladies and gentlemen, is Ohio-born Buck Mason, makers of the best pocket T-shirt on the market (and plenty more, including rugged chore coats and a whole bevy of items well beyond that). In fact, the Buck Mason Slub Pocket Tee is well beyond what you’d expect from a simple T-shirt: It’s one of the best men’s white T-shirts, as well.

Although this classic pocket tee also comes in Black, we’ll focus on the classic white T-shirt version in today’s Thursday Buy. It’s fitting that this tee is well-stocked at Buck Mason as we roll into summer and ever closer to Memorial Day, because your new favorite T-shirt can be a seasonal workhorse for casual outings aplenty. And when it comes down to it, you need one of the best T-shirts in plenty of varieties, because the times in which to wear a tee this summer are practically limitless. It’s one of Buck Mason’s bestsellers for that very reason, too. And of course, it gets better from there.

SHOP: The Buck Mason Slub Pocket Tee

Perhaps the perfect white T-shirt to wear with jeans.

And when it comes to one of the best T-shirts for men, especially from Buck Mason, you can be sure you’re getting high-quality construction and some great bang for your buck. Although this T-shirt retails for $40 at Buck Mason, I’d say it’s every bit worth it (heck, go right ahead and get one in white and one in black). The white T-shirt is, after all, a style staple beloved and worn with aplomb by guys like James Dean and Paul Newman in decades gone by.

This Buck Mason T-shirt allows you to channel some of that same energy all your own, especially when you wear this T-shirt with your favorite pair of indigo denim or, better still, a pair of the best jeans for men from Buck Mason. You can even layer it underneath a denim shirt, a black moto jacket or a light wash denim jacket on breezy summer days. The slub cotton is textured and lightweight, breezy and breathable, made with a reliable and flattering fit. The classic hem is a departure from Buck Mason’s curved hem tees, but it’s no less cool or stylish. And last but not least, you can wear your new favorite T-shirt with swim trunks or Buck Mason Deck Shorts for spring and summer adventures aplenty — or you can wear it to kick back, cold beer in hand. Either way, you can’t go wrong with your new favorite T-shirt.
