Style Pick of the Week: The Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection – Modern, Made-in-America Must-Haves

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.

Style Pick of the Week: Mott and Bow Warren Jeans – The Perfect Casual Men’s Jeans for Summer

There are certain summer style essentials that are commonplace, true must-haves: The right pair of stretch chino shorts, the proper T-shirt for breezy casual style, and so on. Other pieces, like a pair of the best men’s jeans, can be tougher to wear — and even tougher to phase out of your wardrobe.

Take it from me: I’m a huge fan of wearing the best jeans for men as often as I can, usually with rugged chukka boots or high-top sneakers. And those jeans tend to hail from Mott and Bow, a brand that in my experience, delivers the goods in terms of utility, design and dependability.

Mott and Bow men's jeans review.

I’d wager it’s not the first time you’ve come across a Mott and Bow review here on the blog, as I’ve been a longtime fan of the NYC-based denim upstart, which boasts decades of family experience at the top of its business (founder Alejandro Chanin grew up around the industry, after all).

And that means the Mott and Bow Warren Jeans are well-designed, stylish, easily wearable and even lightweight enough to wear in the summer months (again, within reason — proceed accordingly!). Your new favorite blue jeans for men, delivered in a pleasing and summer-friendly medium wash, feature a stretch factor of 18 percent.

See Now, Buy Now: These Todd Snyder Selvedge Jeans Are the Best Light Wash Jeans for Summer

Even as the thermostat climbs ever so slightly as we roll from spring ever closer to summer, I find myself still drawn towards a pair of classic men’s jeans.

They’re the ultimate wardrobe workhorse, as wearable with your favorite Oxford shirt as with a classic pocket T-shirt, and there are more than a few places to go to find some of the best jeans for men (this, you know well if you read the blog). This list, of course, includes my friends at Todd Snyder.

Shop spring menswear from Todd Snyder now

Yes indeed, right now at least, one place rises a cut above the rest, especially in terms of the best light wash jeans for men, and that place just so happens to be the namesake brand of legendary American menswear designer Todd Snyder.

Snyder knows how to take the classics, from rugged crewneck sweaters to luxurious buttondown shirts, and put his own spin on them, and that very much includes the Todd Snyder Japanese Stretch Selvedge Jeans.

Here, the indigo wash (as well as deeper shades of indigo available throughout the line) is richly crafted and carefully done, giving each ultra-comfortable yet durable pair its own unique character. In my experience, Todd Snyder jeans fit just right (neither too slim nor too relaxed), and feel even better.

The Japanese selvedge used here gets even better when you consider the fact that it uses substantial — but not overly tight — 12.5oz. fabric. The richly faded indigo wash is also a personal favorite, making these the kind of jeans you can dress up with a navy Todd Snyder blazer or dress down with a rugged henley.

Roll the cuffs up for some added flair atop your favorite pair of chukka boots, or else style with high-top canvas sneakers for a mix of high-low style. The world is your oyster with these indigo-dyed, hand-sanded jeans — a vintage look is yours right out of the box, but this pair of Todd Snyder denim will only get better with age.

See Now, Buy Now: Billy Reid Teamed Up With Citizens of Humanity On Your New Favorite Jeans

Citizens of Humanity x Billy Reid

There’s always a lot going on, it seems, in the menswear world (which you know all too well if you keep up with this blog!). There are plentiful collaborations to sort through on a daily basis, but when one has a narrow focus for a great cause — in this case, sustainably making some of the best men’s jeans on the market — it’s enough to make you sit up, take notice and secure your pair ASAP.

In this instance, the new collaboration in question is one I’ve personally tried out and can certainly vouch for: To keep it simple, Billy Reid and Citizens of Humanity just made your new favorite pair of jeans. Join me as we dive in a bit further, yes?

Best indigo blue jeans for men.

The idea is fairly simple, and I think you’ll love the results. The all-American designer, best known for making James Bond’s peacoat of choice (along with rugged-yet-luxe takes on the classics) teamed up with one of his personal favorite brands on a stylish denim capsule collection. Not a bad thing to keep in mind as holiday dressing season ramps up, right?

And the idea is about as customized as it gets, too: Billy Reid took on the Adler Jean, a fan favorite at Citizens of Humanity, and worked with the brand to design three exclusive washes, ranging from a dressy, crisp dark blue indigo to a more casual, faded indigo stretch jean.

I’ve tried out the Medium Indigo Jeans and have found them comfortable, made to move and made to go everywhere from a brewery to a Brooklyn rock show. The denim fabric is also soft right out of the box, and the little details are a work of art (seriously!).

And the fit is of the utmost importance here, too. It’s also worth noting that since this is ultra-premium men’s denim we’re talking about here, these are an investment at $278 — but trust me when I say that in my personal experience, they’re more than worth it.

These lean more towards a slim-straight fit in my experience, with a higher rise, a more full waist and a taper down to the ankle. In short, the Billy Reid x Citizens of Humanity Jeans hit all the right notes, all the while featuring details like a handsome custom leather patch and subtle branding. Folks, your new favorite pair of jeans awaits.

See Now, Buy Now: These Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans Are Your New Everyday Jeans This Fall (And Beyond)

Mott and Bow men's denim review.

In my personal experience, there are few things that go together exceptionally quite like the brisk climes of fall and the right pair of your favorite denim. Let’s take that a step further: While the best blue jeans for men are a certified classic in any season and practically any weather, finding the best jeans for fall in a seasonally fitting shade is an even bigger win for your wardrobe.

That’s how I like to go about my shopping, at any rate, and I think you’ll find similar success when you shop Mott and Bow men’s jeans.

Learn more now at Mott and Bow

Assuredly, you’re no stranger to the brand if you’ve perused the pages of this blog or any one of my Mott and Bow reviews over the years. The NYC-based direct-to-consumer company excels at making fairly priced, quality denim from quality fabrics (often using Italian or Turkish denim), then using just enough stretch for a comfortable fit.

That all holds true with the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans, which feature a medium-weight 10oz. twill denim that wears nicely on brisk fall days (at least, that’s what I’ve found with Mott and Bow jeans). As I like to say though, the hits keep rolling from there.

The Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans helpfully come in a range of fall-friendly shades, a series of rich, earthy colors that perfectly complement various shades of the season.

Whether you’re wearing a crisp white Oxford shirt on a business casual day at the office or teaming a navy shawl cardigan with dusty, earth-toned jeans, the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans should be the pair you reach for (at least, in my humble opinion).

Meet the Classic Full Zip Hoodie: pictured in both men's and women's. Available in an array of colors.

I also appreciate the custom back leather patch and custom rivets to drive home their durability. And helpfully, the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans provide designer quality at a price that’s not too absurd (they’ll set you back $129). Various pairs of Mott and Bow men’s denim come in Slim and Straight fits, so you might want to opt for a different style from the company if a Slim fit isn’t what your wardrobe needs.

But if you’re on the hunt for the best men’s jeans in a variety of cool fall colors, the Mott and Bow Mercer Jeans are the end result of a winning formula. Happy shopping, folks.
