See Now, Buy Now: These Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants are Your New Favorite Style Essential this Season

Best corduroy pants for men.

Perhaps you’ve noticed that as the temperature plummets even further, you need something a little more sturdy in every element of your wardrobe. That goes for your trusty parka as well as your thick-knit flannel shirt and dependable fisherman sweater or shawl cardigan (all of which we’ve covered here on the blog in recent weeks and months!), but what about your rotation of the best pants for men?

While rugged blue jeans and even dressy wool suit trousers and crisp chinos all have their place in your style rotation, it’s sometimes ideal to lean into the charms of the season in terms of texture and style — and that’s where the good folks at Huckberry can help, a fact you well know if you’ve read this Brooklyn men’s style blog from time to time.

Let’s get more specific when it comes to texture and rich craftsmanship: Look to the folks at Flint and Tinder, well-known for the lightweight, effortless dependability of the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, to effectively winterize your options in terms of the best men’s pants, period.

You see, the best corduroy pants for men toe the line between distinction and dressy appeal, and the versatility that every guy needs — especially when they come in a design that closely mirrors your go-to five-pocket blue jeans or chinos. And the Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants toe that line in crisply cut, stylish, seriously cool fashion — gone are the days of stuffy corduroy pants worn in years past, replaced instead by a handsome tailored cut, rich color options and simply excellent fabric.

Available in fits ranging from Huckberry’s proprietary HB Straight or HB Athletic Tapered, the sharp-as-can-be Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants are your perfect go-between when you want a classier look than casually rugged blue jeans, but want to avoid going as formal as suit trousers.

The Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants boast what Huckberry calls “the perfect amount of stretch,” even featuring a slight taper to the leg in the Straight-cut variety for a clean look and feel. And the five-pocket design is reliable and timeless — as easy to wear with a thermal henley and a chambray shirt as with a wool blazer and a stretch dress shirt.

The Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants come in four fashionable colors (including my personal favorite, Whiskey, plus the wear-with-anything Taupe and the eye-catching olive hue of Moss). And with garment-dyed fabric, the right amount of stretch and the crisp fit you can count on from the good folks at Huckberry, it might just be a surefire bet that these stylish men’s corduroy pants are the perfect step up from your trusted blue jeans this holiday season (and well beyond).

Shop the best gear across the board at Huckberry

Naturally, I’m willing to bet you knew that Huckberry’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals were outstanding in their own right, but the real joy comes in digging deeper into Black Friday Huckberry discounts, does it not? The Americana retailer is offering a series of exclusive drops across the weekend, including today’s rarity of a find (as far as the best denim jackets are concerned, that is).

And if you play your cards right and layer up properly, you can still make one of the best denim jackets for men work for you — and again, it’s rare enough that it’ll be worth it to score one on sale through Huckberry’s Black Friday weekend sale.

Folks, meet the Flint and Tinder Cone Mills Denim Trucker, which repurposes Huckberry’s knack for perfecting the trucker jacket silhouette, all the while using rare and durable, utterly classic Cone Mills denim hailing from North Carolina.

The Flint and Tinder Cone Mills Denim Trucker is one heck of a find, made in America from sturdy 12.75oz. rigid Cone denim secured from the legendary American denim producers at Cone Mills. When that factory’s USA location finally shuttered pre-pandemic, its factory in Yecapixtla, Mexico took over the sort of production that denimheads absolutely love.

The result is the same hard-wearing, remarkable denim fabric fashioned into timeless silhouettes — even more incredible (and certainly worthy of today’s Style Pick) is the fact that the Flint and Tinder Cone Mills Denim Trucker is 30 percent off right now as part of Huckberry’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Stretch Knit Flannel Shirt – Your New Everyday Shirting Essential

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.

Shop the best seasonal style now at Huckberry

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.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s Best-Selling Trucker Jacket Just Got a Major Upgrade

Flint and Tinder trucker jacket review.

It’s like we’ve been saying for weeks if not months on this Brooklyn style blog: There’s not a better time of year for menswear than right now, with its rich layers, its promise of crisp outdoor adventure and the chance to lean into your rugged side.

And certain retailers just meet the moment quite handily, as you also well know if you read this menswear blog on the regular. Of course, Huckberry stocks the kind of vintage-inspired, Americana-tinged gear you can count on to power everything from weekend farmer’s market visits to cabin getaways, bonfires, park strolls and more.

Shop the best all-around gear for men now at Huckberry

But even the best gear needs an upgrade or a refresh from time to time, including one of Huckberry’s best sellers, the indomitable and incomparable Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket.

The company’s best-selling item of all-time is normally made from a hard-wearing Martexin sailcloth and lined with striped blanket flannel lining, but the latest and greatest Flint and Tinder trucker jacket gets a big-time, highly intriguing upgrade: Witness the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket, which blends the softness of 100 percent indigo-dyed cotton with distinctive Japanese Sashiko stitching.

There’s plenty of character to love in the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket, which updates a true modern menswear classic in utterly eye-catching fashion. As Huckberry notes, sashiko stitching, an age-old technique, helps lend texture, character and craftsmanship to all kinds of textiles, this handsome trucker jacket very much included.

And like other variations on your favorite indigo menswear, pieces like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket will take on their own character and patina the more you wear ’em — with each wear, in fact.

Huckberry rightfully calls this gem of a piece a “limited-edition, artisanal take on our iconic trucker jacket,” and it’s hard to pass that up (act carefully, since size XS is already sold out online).

The great news is, the same hallmarks that make other versions of the Flint and Tinder trucker jacket so excellent are all in on the action as well, from side-entry waist pockets to a flap-button chest pocket and the brand’s utterly classic striped blanket lining. Look for the inner left side media pocket for your everyday carry, too. And custom, durable hardware lends even further durability to this timeless silhouette, which should prove every bit as wearable as your other favorite Flint and Tinder trucker jacket.

Rock it early and often with a grey henley and tan chinos, or else style it with black jeans and broken-in tan leather boots for a dash of rock n’roll edge. However you choose to wear the newest Flint and Tinder trucker jacket, rest assured that it’s with you for the ride every step of the way, and then some.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Chore Blazer – An Expert Seasonal Layering Find

Best fall blazers for men.

It’s like we keep saying here on this Brooklyn style blog: There’s arguably never been a better season for menswear than right now, this fine autumn, with a wide variety of textures, colors, layers and remarkable menswear essentials for the season at hand. That goes for everything from rugged waxed jackets to textured fisherman sweaters, durable henleys, expertly faded jeans and much more — outer layers aplenty very much included.

Of course, your friends (and my friends!) at Huckberry have the basics covered and then some, and that goes for pieces that deliver a distinctive spin on a classic — in this case, that’d be one of the best blazers for fall from Flint and Tinder.

The silhouette is then flipped on its head in the new Flint and Tinder Fall 2025 Collection, and the end result — among other stylish, rugged offerings — is the Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Chore Blazer, an unstructured spin on the wool blazer that blends the chore coat and the blazer in handsome fashion.

The key, as with other Huckberry menswear essentials made to take on the brisk breezes and fall foliage, is in its dependable fabrication, starting with twice-boiled thick wool for warmth and a soft, lightweight feel.

The Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Chore Blazer boasts the traditional lapels, patch pockets and button front of a stylish blazer, yet that unstructured design gives it a dash of devil-may-care appeal — flip the collar up and wear this as a transitional piece of outerwear or a reliable travel jacket, style points very much included.

The four-button front placket is a stylish, eye-catching change of pace, as is the range of colors in which you can score your new favorite fall and winter blazer — would you expect anything less from Huckberry?

The famed Americana brand has also built out the Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Chore Blazer with enough variety to suit every sense of style — simply look at the range of available color options and finishing touches like the use of corozo buttons. And with a hybrid jacket like the Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Chore Blazer, you’ve got options as to how you wear one of the best fall jackets for men.

Shop the new Flint and Tinder Fall Collection now

Team it with a henley and faded blue jeans for high-low style appeal, wear it atop a white Oxford shirt with olive chinos for a classic, office-ready look, or rock the Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Chore Blazer over a chambray shirt for a look that’s utterly timeless. The best fall blazers for men and women give you style options aplenty, no matter which color you select — the Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Chore Blazer is no different, so shop accordingly this season.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket – A Hard-Wearing Spin on a Fall Classic

Best waxed jackets for men.

In my experience, there should be a joy in getting dressed for the autumn season with the best fall style essentials. After all, the season’s more brisk climes give you plenty of opportunity to wear your favorite layers as frequently as possible, from richly crafted chambray shirts to thick sweaters and of course, an array of the best waxed jackets on the market.

With its water-repellent finish and durable waxed cotton or cotton canvas construction, waxed outerwear is practically a must-have for the guy who values casually rugged style, and that’s where Huckberry has cornered the market over the past decade or so (just check out the photo below for an example of what the good folks at Huckberry do so well).

Huckberry’s Flint and Tinder lineup, as you well know if you read the blog, is already assuredly well-known for making one of the best waxed trucker jackets on the market, but they’ve expanded their Flint and Tinder roster in recent years to include slightly more refined silhouettes.

Shop the best waxed jackets and more at Huckberry

That includes the Harrington jacket, originally a style fashioned in Britain to fight back against wind and rain — and later worn rather famously by style icons like Steve McQueen (he preferred a Baracuta G9 Harrington, for the record — which Huckberry has also sold in the past!).

And now, Huckberry is stepping up to the plate once more with another version of one of the best men’s waxed jackets, and this time, it’s the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket — an even more weather-ready version of a truly legendary piece of outerwear.

It’s packed with the sort of functional bells and whistles one has come to expect over the years from Flint and Tinder, including hard-wearing fabric (in this case, a dry wax Halley Stevensons fabric made to repel wind and rain).

The fact that the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket comes in rich Dark Navy as well as a cool, crisp and neutral Dark Olive is a major bonus in terms of style points, but it’s the handsome fabrication that makes the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket such a winner in my book.

In my experience wearing the utterly classic yet modern Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket, it’s plenty comfortable and not overly bulky — a micro-flannel interior lining provides warmth, while poly-lined sleeves make for an easy-on, easy-off wearing experience.

The corduroy collar and cuffs that finish off the casually rugged Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket are a timeless touch, while a buttoned throat-tab closure provides more coverage should you need it (and of course, the custom F&T hardware is substantial and sturdy).

If you ask me, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket is the definition of a grab-and-go travel jacket, especially layered over a thermal henley with dark blue jeans, but if I were you, I’d also look to the icon Steve McQueen for more insight on how to wear a Harrington jacket. Upgrade your outerwear ASAP with the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket, my friends.

It can feel dizzying at times to sort through the array of on-sale gear up for grabs rolling into a new season — what’s a guy to do as you look to refresh your wardrobe ahead of fall? The answer, my friends, is a simple one, and one that we talk about often here on this Brooklyn style blog: Head over to Huckberry, purveyors of some of the best Americana gear for men, including a style of shirt that’s having quite the moment.

That would be the Western shirt, an ode to the Great American West and its utterly functional, classically rugged roots. The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt gets all those details correct as far as an homage to the past is concerned, yet it does so in modern fashion — and if you don’t yet have a stylish Western shirt in your rotation, then there’s never been a better time to buy one that’s on sale right now at Huckberry, my friends.

Best men's shirts for fall.

The Western shirt, especially the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt, is a style swerve from your traditional Oxford shirt or even a chambray shirt, adorned with detailing like V-shaped flap chest patch pockets and a Western shoulder yoke. That gives it a more rugged appeal, particularly in colors like a faded blue denim or black.

But you’ll notice it’s the Indigo Dot version of the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt that’s up for grabs right now via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section, and this twist on a classic manages to make it feel just a bit more like a casual buttondown shirt you’d wear untucked with tan chinos.

Best Western shirts for men.

What’s most important to note right now about potentially your new favorite everyday buttondown shirt is the fact that it’s on sale right now for about 50 percent off: If you haven’t yet tried out a denim shirt, now might be an ideal time to start. And the great news is, you can style the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt largely as you might a traditional chambray shirt: Try this one with dark blue indigo denim or even black jeans and tan suede chukka boots (yes, navy and black can be worn together casually, my friends!).

For 50 percent off, there’s hardly a better deal on a Western shirt at the moment than the one being offered up by Huckberry on the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt — that’s a guarantee this season, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt – A Perfectly Rugged Everyday Shirt

Best Oxford shirts for men.

You might say we’ve been on a serious roll as of late when it comes to recommending the best late summer and early fall menswear for guys — it’s a tricky in-between time on some occasions, with cooler late summer nights offset by still-warm days.

And while a log cabin and the promise of fall foliage might be calling your name, there’s still the chance to hit the beach one last time. And as ever, the proper preparation makes a world of stylish difference, particularly as you dress for both the office and for seasonal getaways to close out summer. The key? Starting with the right shirt and building from there, at least in my experience.

What’s a guy to do? The answer, my friends, is a relatively easy one — layer up with transitional, rugged gear, like one of the best Oxford work shirts for men. This, my friends, is where the good folks at Huckberry can help you out in prime fashion.

While it’s sometimes difficult to layer up with a thicker denim or chambray shirt in the high heat of summer, late August is the ideal time to add a sturdy denim shirt like the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt, to your menswear rotation. It’s one part crisply cut Oxford shirt, one part workwear-inspired shirt, and as ready for bonfire evenings as a day on the job or in the drafting room (as the name implies, after all).

In my experience, the best men’s Oxford shirts, like the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt add classically rugged style and utility to your rotation. With its garment-dyed fabrication, it’s a touch more casually rugged than a classic Oxford shirt, and that’s never a bad option to have handy.

Suffice to, the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt is a handsome new option from Huckberry’s stellar in-house brand. It checks quite a few boxes when it comes to utility and performance (not unlike the latest Flint and Tinder denim jacket we talked about yesterday on this Brooklyn style blog).

Now, it’s not the first time we’ve talked about a stylish Oxford shirt from Huckberry and Flint and Tinder (this model very much included), but the Flint and Tinder Draftsman Oxford Shirt gets the details right in proper fashion — in a way that only Huckberry can do. It’s also built with stretch and of course, classic buttoned cuffs to roll up those sleeves and get to work.

And with neutral, easy-to-style colorways (including Washed Green, crisp Black and a sharp Navy option), it’s about as ideal as it gets for pairing with everything from tan stretch chinos to expertly faded Huckberry jeans.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Classic Chore Coat – An Expert Layer for Early Fall and Beyond

It’s like we’ve talked about plenty here on the blog: While it might seem strange to start planning ahead for early fall with the best seasonal menswear, it’s never too early to give your men’s style rotation some extra forethought, particularly as far as the best chore coats for men are concerned.

Find your new favorite early fall jacket right now

The chore coat’s workwear roots are just as relevant now as they were decades ago, when railroad workers, engineers and outdoorsmen wore the style for adventures far afield.

With a foldover collar, sturdy patch pockets and a length that hits below the hip, the chore coat is as functional as it gets — of course, the good folks at Huckberry have you covered.

Finding the right, rugged jacket now can pay dividends as early fall rolls into town, and in fact, the chore coat is perhaps the perfect layer to wear as you look from summer to one of the best seasons for menswear — let’s get into it, shall we? The Flint and Tinder Classic Chore Coat is the latest entry into an already-stacked outerwear rotation from the beloved Huckberry brand, which is best known for its tough-as-nails waxed trucker jackets, cozy flannel shirts and effortlessly cool, highly versatile stretch chinos.

The Flint and Tinder Classic Chore Coat is a more lightweight outerwear selection than a flannel or wool-lined waxed trucker jacket, and this new option boasts a soft cotton-blend twill fabric blended with a hint of stretch.

Huckberry notes the midweight feel of the Flint and Tinder Classic Chore Coat makes it ideal for year-round wear, and the style should prove plenty useful in the weeks ahead — whether worn over a cotton T-shirt, styled with a thermal henley or topping off a chambray shirt for a mix of rugged high-low style on a casual day at your (very creative) office.

Patch waist pockets are further complemented with a side-entry pocket design for additional storage of your favorite everyday carry essentials from Huckberry, and corozo buttons enhance the durability of this sturdy jacket. The famed Americana retailer notes this durable jacket boasts a classic fit that’s true to size, while a range of dusty, earthen color options should deliver maximum versatility in terms of style points.

In my experience, colors like the classic Earth tone shown above pair nicely with everything from dark blue denim to olive chinos and well-worn leather chukka boots. If early fall style is on your mind at the present — as it very well should be — then a dependable layer like Flint and Tinder Classic Chore Coat belongs in your seasonal menswear offering starting ASAP.

What’s a guy to do? Well, first off: Evaluate your shopping cart for any stragglers you might have left behind, any menswear and gear selections that you perhaps haven’t bought yet — remember, the company stocks and sells its own line of menswear from brands like Flint and Tinder, as well as an array of selections from Filson, Taylor Stitch, Astorflex and many more.

Consider them carefully, decide what you want to keep and what you might not need to buy right now, and then evaluate further: There’s one more item you might want to ‘add to cart’ before Huckberry’s latest sale concludes, and that’s one of the best linen shirts for men. The headline, really, says it all: For breezy, expertly crafted summer style in the heat, just buy the aptly named Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt.

There’s much to love about the crisply designed Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt — the company modeled it after a timeless, any-season Oxford shirt, yet used ultra-lightweight and comfortable 100 percent linen for a finish that stands up to summer’s heat. Right now, the Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt is marked down below $90 on sale — a sale price that won’t stick around for very long, of course.

It also comes in a wide offering of sizes (from Extra Small up to 3XL), and offers up the notion that looking polished in the heat is as easy as finding the right buttondown shirt to pair with everything from drawstring lounge linen shorts to stretch chinos and leather loafers at the office.

A chest pocket, a curved shirttail hem and a length that looks positively great tucked in or untucked all deliver the kind of style your summer wardrobe simply can’t live without. I’m a fan of the ultra-versatile Natural shade, as well as Dusty Olive and even the change of pace that the Brown version of the Flint and Tinder Classic Linen Shirt offers.

When it comes time to suit up or to put your best foot forward, linen is the answer in your shirting rotation, and Flint and Tinder’s latest on-sale gem gets the job done — score it now while the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale lasts.
