Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Shirt – The Perfect Shirt for The Rest of Summer

Best lightweight buttondown for men.

If there’s one thing I’ve noticed as of late (and I’m sure I’m not alone in this!), it’s that, well, it’s hot out. Mighty hot. Oppressively sweltering at times, and yet, you’ve certainly still got to put your best foot forward with some of the best men’s style essentials on the market.

Of course, you know that my good friends at Huckberry can help you do that — and while I might have taken yesterday off from today’s regularly scheduled Friday Read, we’re back in the swing of things today as I recommend one of the best buttondown shirts for men.

Now, how exactly can a stylish buttondown shirt actually help you stay cool? Well, my friends, it’s simpler than you might think. You see, the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown has plenty of style points going for it, but here’s where it swerves from the traditional, heavier fabric of the Oxford cloth shirt, for instance.

The Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown is all about the fabrication, of course, and the key here is the use of a lightweight cotton twill fabric.

It’s the right way to stay polished even in the heat, as you can rock the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown with everything from stretch chino shorts to a pair of Flint and Tinder 365 Pants for polished yet comfortable days at the office and on the road.

It boasts a classic buttondown collar construction for a dash of casual style, along with a single chest pocket for another laidback yet traditional touch. Beyond that, your new favorite buttondown shirt comes in a slim fit and three timeless color combinations (the blue-and-white combo is my personal favorite, though).

And crucially, the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown comes with that Huckberry seal of approval: In my experience, Flint and Tinder shirts and menswear are high-quality, durable and timelessly designed. If that sounds like something your wardrobe could use to end summer, act accordingly and pick up the Flint and Tinder Featherweight Plaid Buttondown. Cheers, my friends.

Now, summer’s not quite over just yet, so the Flint and Tinder Summer Stretch Jeans should come in mighty handy. Of course, every guy can use a pair of expertly faded, soft stretch jeans regardless of season, but this stylish pair of men’s denim is apt for blistering temperatures these days (most temperatures, that is).

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent on this Classic Men’s Shirt from Flint and Tinder

Flint and Tinder men's shirt review.

At times, getting a great deal can mean even more than that: Like when you score some savings on one of the best shirts for men, for instance, and if you can do that while getting your new favorite shirt from one of your favorite online retailers.

In this case, I’m talking about Huckberry, an online shop that, in my considerable experience, never cuts corners or fails to come through with some of the most rugged, best menswear on the market.

Hopefully, you’re aware of that fact, but hey, a reminder is always a good thing when building out a wardrobe of summer style essentials, right? And I’ve got some news for you: Huckberry certainly hasn’t let you down with one of its latest deals, part of a plethora of the best menswear deals over in the Huckberry Sale section.

Best everyday shirt for men.

Your next round of style savings arrives courtesy of one of the best everyday shirts for men, the Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt. While Huckberry and the F&T crew do a standout job producing rugged gear like the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, this stylish men’s shirt is a bit more ready for the office, for happy hour and even for a low-key date night — get you a shirt that can do it all, folks.

Flint and Tinder shirt review for men.

Let’s look at those savings right off the bat: You’re saving at least 20 percent on your new go-to shirt, which is made with breezy two-layer double-gauze cotton for softness, breathability and polished style (even in the heat). The Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt wears like an easygoing Oxford shirt, with double-button chest pockets for EDC storage and a more rugged touch.

It’s also outfitted with reinforced elbow patches, but to me, this is a stylish work shirt you can readily wear on a more laidback day at the office. Plus, it’s garment-dyed for additional softness, and it comes in a range of colors (like a crisp Blue Check — my personal favorite) or a stylish Natural colorway.

And since some colorways of the Flint and Tinder Double Gauze Shirt drop as low as $76 (normally $128!), it’s certainly a highly versatile shirt worth buying now — and wearing the rest of summer into fall. Happy shopping and we’ll See You Out There, folks.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts – The Best Men’s Shorts for Summer

Best summer shorts for men.

In my experience, especially in the summer months, it seems you just need workhorse wardrobe pieces that consistently get the job done in terms of casual, effortless style. Of course, a pair of the best men’s shorts certainly qualifies, and that’s where my good friends at Huckberry enter the equation, and that’s part of the reason why I’m keeping today’s post short and sweet. Some things just make sense in matters of men’s style, right? Yes indeed.

The Flint and Tinder 365 Shorts (part of Huckberry’s selection of bestsellers) take the cake as far as the best shorts for men are concerned, using the company’s lightweight yet durable 365 fabric (a blend of cotton and spandex that’s also been garment-dyed).

These shorts check off all the proper boxes in my book: These stylish men’s shorts come in three inseam lengths to suit guys of every height, they’re available in rich and versatile colors to match up with plenty of other summer style essentials, and they boast custom Flint and Tinder hardware, for good measure.

I’m going to wrap up this post here today, since it’s quite clear to me that your next move is simple: Go ahead and get a pair of the best shorts for men over at Huckberry ASAP. You know exactly what to do.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 60 Percent On this Rugged Workshirt from Huckberry

Best workshirt for men.

If you read the blog, you know that sometimes, opportunity is everything, and timing is crucial when it comes to stocking up (or restocking up on) the best men’s style essentials for spring and summer. I do my best to stay on top of on-sale menswear, of course, and some deals are just too good to pass up — that’s particularly the case when it comes to the Huckberry Sale section, long a personal favorite of mine.

And while breezy summer style is all the rage right now, there are times when you’ve got to get down to business, quite literally, and times when you still can use one of, say, the best workshirts for men. The good news is, today’s stylish workshirt is a whopping 60 percent off. Yessir, 60 percent off. Of course, Huckberry is as reliable a place as any to get rugged menswear designed to go the distance, and that’s certainly true with the hard-wearing, made-for-anything Flint and Tinder Crossback Workshirt. After all, would you expect anything less from ’em? That’s what I thought.

Now, you might have your eye on one of the best summer shirts for men in terms of lightweight style, but be it on a camping trip or during a backyard bonfire, one of the best men’s workshirts can still come in mighty handy.

And in terms of durability, style points and utility (sometimes a tricky combination to nail down), the Flint and Tinder Crossback Workshirt delivers the goods. It starts with the custom-developed fabric, a uniquely Huckberry touch, and in this instance, it’s a looseweave flannel that should prove soft and easy to layer, yet remarkably tough. It’s almost like wearing a blanket, which makes the Flint and Tinder Crossback Workshirt a warm option on breezy spring summer nights.

Beyond that, the Flint and Tinder Crossback Workshirt is triple-needle-stitched at key stress points, with crossback construction across the shoulders for added dependability and mobility. Oversized fisheye buttons are a crucial workshirt detail designed to provide easy access, especially if you wear this flannel workshirt atop one of your favorite T-shirts or a Huckberry henley.

And again, it’s worth repeating that you get all of this rugged style and toughness for an astounding 60 percent off right now. That drops the Flint and Tinder Crossback Workshirt down to under $60, a terrific price to pay for your new go-to summer workshirt.

When you really get down to it, it’s never too early to start preparing for the next season in terms of the best men’s style essentials, and although summer doesn’t technically start until, well, late June, that’s why we’re here today.

Yessir, there’s no time like the present to get a slight jump on the best summer style essentials, starting with something you might find yourself wearing the large majority of every week. Especially in these work-from-anywhere times, a pair of the best men’s shorts is a downright must-have, and that’s where the good folks at Huckberry come into play.

If ever you needed a reminder that Huckberry in-house brand Flint and Tinder does things the right way, witness how they help you step from season to season with ease.

Available in three inseams (including an on-trend five-inch inseam), these stylish men’s shorts are made from durable yet comfortable, versatile stretch cotton, just like Flint and Tinder’s famed 365 Pants.

The spandex lightens things up in terms of weight, the cotton feels soft right out of the box, and the range of colors is plentiful enough to suit every style. Let’s keep it brief today, and take this recommendation to heart: Prepare early and often with the best summer style essentials, like these supremely comfortable, stylish shorts, and your wardrobe will thank you in kind this season.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder 365 Chino Pants – Spring and Summer’s Perfect Everyday Pant

Best men's chino pants.

Don’t step into a new season — or step out for your next casual or tailored pursuit — without the proper attire, my friends. It’s easier to knock it out of the park than you might think, whether you’re heading to the office, to a wedding or to a casual day around town, cold beer in hand. The solution lies in some tried-and-true classics, as in a pair of the best men’s chino pants.

Of course, it goes without saying that you should round out the rest of your ensemble with something as equally hard-wearing, stylish and classic, like one of the best Oxford shirts or even your favorite denim jacket, but I’ll leave that to you: Let’s talk chino pants right now, shall we?

And like clockwork, the good folks at Huckberry have precisely the pair you need. They hail from the always well-stocked Huckberry New Arrivals section, and the Flint and Tinder 365 Chino Pants do something that’s nearly impossible: They take a tried-and-true classic (the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants) and improve upon them in a way that’s classy, versatile and effortlessly sharp.

Best chino pants for men.

Of course, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are as dependable as can be in their own right, with a five-pocket build to rival your favorite denim and yet, the crisp cut of a chino pant. But, here’s the catch: The Flint and Tinder 365 Pants aren’t quite classic chinos, although they’re darn close (plus, highly affordable and stylish). The key here with this new pant? The streamlined design of chinos, with front slant pockets and what Huckberry calls a “clean, tailored look.”

The Flint and Tinder 365 Chino Pants only get better from there, thanks to a performance stretch cotton blend that delivers mobility and lightweight comfort, even in the heat. The best chino pants, after all, should help you stay polished no matter what, and again, Flint and Tinder certainly knows how to deliver on that front.

The fabric itself is also garment-dyed for softness, while the Flint and Tinder 365 Chino Pants come in four crisp colors, including Earth (my personal favorite). And for good measure, you’ll find your new favorite chino pants in both Slim and Straight cuts. You’ve just taken the guesswork of what to wear to your next spring or summer shindig, my friends.
