The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Cable Sweater Delivers Expert Winter Warmth (and Style)

Winter shows no signs of letting up or slowing down, at least in my neck o’ the woods — that calls for burly, durable, dependable outerwear and knitwear. In fact, if you’ve got the opportunity to pick up a heritage-inspired style at a discount, that’s all the better — and we’re hitting the sweet spot today with a classic cable knit sweater from our friends at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder.

Part of a slew of discounts available from the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a modern update of a classic, an utterly reliable style with tightly woven cable detailing for added warmth.

To hear the famed retailer tell it, the sweater “offers heirloom-worthy craftsmanship, heritage cable-knit looks, and everyday durability” — I’ll let you be the judge of that, but if Flint and Tinder’s tough-as-nails waxed outerwear is any indication, you’re in good company with perhaps your new favorite sweater.

They don’t quite make ’em like they used to, unless the brand in question is Flint and Tinder at Huckberry. In my experience, the brand’s healthy respect for the past lends itself nicely to high-quality styles and timeless designs across the board, including this sweater spun from a blend of lambswool (for warmth) and nylon (for rebound potential and durability).

The Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater also happens to come in crisp, versatile colors like Navy, which pairs up well with chinos, corduroy pants and workwear trousers in shades ranging from tobacco to light tan to rust and olive (yes, all the colors of the spectrum are present, my friends).

The handsome Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a piece with heirloom potential in its own right, but for modern times, it’ll pair nicely with a durable flannel overshirt, a sturdy waxed field jacket or your trusty Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, to name but a few selections. And right now via Huckberry’s latest and greatest sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a discounted splurge worth adding to your sweater rotation ASAP.
