The Tuesday Steal: This Flint and Tinder Western Shirt is Nearly 50 Percent Off at Huckberry

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.

Shop new style favorites now at Huckberry

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).

Shop men’s shirts and more at Huckberry

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. Meet the demands of a new season head-on with the latest standout shirting option from Huckberry, my friends.

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.

The Tuesday Steal: It’s the Last Day to Shop the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale – Just Buy This Flint and Tinder Linen Shirt

Best linen shirts for men.

If you’ve been reading this Brooklyn style blog over the past week or so, you’ll very well know there’s been a hot topic of conversation around these parts as far as the best menswear deals are concerned.

Perhaps you’re already well-acquainted, but the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale has been riding high, so to speak, in offering stellar savings on a wide range of menswear, outdoor goods, everyday carry essentials, sleek leather loafers, breezy shorts stylish summer sneakers and much more — and now, that sale is reaching its conclusion later tonight (12 a.m. Pacific Time, in fact).

Find out more now at Huckberry

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.

The Friday Find: Flint and Tinder’s Block Print Camp Collar Shirt Is My New Summer Go-To

My friends, we’re back on a lovely summer Friday here in Brooklyn, hot on the heels of an absolutely stunning trip last week to Scotland and Northern Ireland (with Loch Lomond Malts and Two Stacks Irish Whiskey!) as part of my many freelance writing pursuits. For more of my spirits writing, you should also check out my byline at Maxim.com.

And you can — and should! — keep up with all the fun on my Instagram, but for now, let’s switch things up ever so slightly to start your weekend off the right way.

Follow me on Instagram

Consider this an occasional departure from the norm: Most every Friday, I spotlight what I’ve been reading and writing, where I’ve been traveling and from time to time, what to shop and sip. So, the Friday Find series will do more of the same, but in a digestible form (and the Friday Read will still appear here regularly, my friends!).

But for now, let’s dive into one stellar product I’ve been loving — and wearing — lately. And of course, you can still expect two weekend style dispatches heading your way Saturday and Sunday. Now, to business with one of my new favorite summer shirts.

There’s no time like the present to embrace the second half of summer with some serious pattern and color. And while Flint and Tinder’s lineup of menswear from our good friends at Huckberry normally leans a touch more rugged — from USA-made T-shirts to stretch denim — the Flint and Tinder Block Print Camp Collar Shirt is a breezy change of pace I can’t help but appreciate.

Available right now for under $75 via the stellar Huckberry Summer Sale (more on that to follow over the weekend), the handsome Flint and Tinder Block Print Camp Collar Shirt lives up to its name with a custom, hand-blocked print blending subtle navy and a vibrant tan-orange pattern.

It’s fun, it’s fresh, it’s a departure from more typical Hawaiian-printed shirts, and the Flint and Tinder Block Print Camp Collar Shirt nails a dash of retro style with its classic camp collar design. In short, if you’re looking for one shirt to buy this weekend and rock the rest of summer — from the beach to a boardwalk to a BBQ — then the Flint and Tinder Block Print Camp Collar Shirt is just what Dr. Huckberry ordered, you might say. Cheers to that, my friends — and thanks for tagging along for the ride in our new Friday Find series!

The Sunday Sale: This Lightweight Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer is Summer Wedding-Approved

If the season at hand has you stumped in terms of style — at least, as far as it comes to what to wear to a summer wedding — fear not, for the answer lies in selecting and styling the right blazer (at least, part of the answer). In fact, you might find a solution via the ever-helpful Huckberry Sale section, an always-useful solution for the best summer style essentials — including affordable tailoring that happens to look great in the summer heat.

How to dress stylishly when it’s hot out, especially for guys, is an age-old question it seems — but in my experience, the Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer, which is marked down for a limited time via the (you guessed it) Huckberry Sale section, is a reliable, new favorite.

While there’s much to consider when dressing for a summer wedding — or really, any occasion that calls for a tailored dress code in the heat, from the office to business travel, happy hours and beyond — one of the best blazers for men can start you out on the right foot indeed.

The elegant Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer puts a fresh spin on a classic — with its ridged, rippled fabric (in this case, a blend of 98 percent cotton and 2 percent spandex) — seersucker is an ideal way to maintain a crisp, tailored look in a lightweight build.

It doesn’t hurt that the Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer in either Navy or Khaki variations is now about 30 percent off, but let’s get back to the basics, shall we? The Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer boasts all the right details one should seek out in one of the best men’s blazers.

Casual patch pockets give it the ability to be dressed up with matching trousers (also available via Huckberry!) or dressed down with light wash denim.

The single vent back opening also makes this leisurely yet elegant Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer a wise choice as far as summer sportcoats are concerned. And of course, it stands apart from suit jackets that some might choose to wear as a blazer, especially in versatile Navy. And with sizing options running from Small to XXL, Huckberry makes it easier than ever to find your perfect fit (pay close attention to the sizing guide for the crisply cut Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer, my friends).

Shop men’s blazers and more at Huckberry

Pair this jacket with contrasting stretch chinos or even linen trousers — or, again, its own matching suit trousers — and meet the moment in expert fashion the next time the occasion calls for it in the high heat of summer.

The Thursday Buy: Upgrade Your Summer Layering Game with this Flint and Tinder Chore Coat

Best chore coats for men.

If the name of the game is summer layering — as hot days turn to cool, breezy summer nights — then the right arsenal of tools, the right arsenal of menswear essentials — is more crucial than ever.

So while days on your agenda might call for laidback afternoons by the lake, nothing more than a T-shirt and a set of the best swim trunks for men close at hand, well, the nights call for something more ready for a drop in temperature. Layering, my friends, has entered the Huckberry-focused group chat, so to speak.

Shop seasonal style essentials at Huckberry

For those pursuits, for adding more wood to the fire and grabbing another round of cold beers, meet the ever-versatile Flint and Tinder Linen Chore Coat, my friends.

The ever-ambitious, versatile and impossibly well-designed line of Flint and Tinder menswear toes the line expertly between modern style and heritage appeal — styles that looked great decades ago tend to look just as fashionable and effortless these days, at least in my experience.

So it goes with the rugged yet breezy Flint and Tinder Linen Chore Coat, which uses a blend of garment-dyed cotton and linen for a tight weave, durability and yet, an ever-useful touch of light layering over everything from a pocket T-shirt to a short-sleeve henley.

The classic nature of the chore coat is made all the better by its point collar — useful for layering on brisk days — as well as crisp color options like Navy and Olive. In my experience, either edition of the rugged yet handsome Flint and Tinder Linen Chore Coat should pair well with light wash denim, with rust-hued chinos or with cream-colored linen trousers.

A chest pocket delivers crucial EDC storage space, but it’s the dual-entry hip pockets that make the reliable Flint and Tinder Linen Chore Coat a surefire staple for surprisingly brisk summer nights — on into fall, of course. Don’t forget the dependable appeal of the chore coat, particularly not the well-made design of the Flint and Tinder Linen Chore Coat when cool summer nights around the bonfire find your way onto the agenda.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s Retro Corduroy Shorts from Huckberry are the Perfect Summer Style Move

Best corduroy shorts for men.

Still searching for the perfect set of summer style essentials to make the season at hand feel even more stylish, fresh, and dare I say… fun? As I tend to say here at this Brooklyn style blog, just when you thought you had it all covered, another style consideration enters the fray, and this week, we’re focusing on stylish updates to your rotation of summer shorts.

Luckily — and as often seems to be the case with the best menswear for summer — your friends at Huckberry have you covered handily, particularly when it comes to well-designed, well-cut shorts with more than a dash of retro inspiration.

Judging by the thermostat outside, there’s still plenty of time to work some fresh new shorts into your style offering this season, particularly when they’re a pair of shorts that check as many boxes as do the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts.

Available in a versatile 7-inch inseam that should work plenty well on a lot of guys — even my frame at 6’2″ — these are about as good as it gets for a set of shorts that bridge the gap between laidback lounge shorts and polished (yet slightly less comfortable) stretch chino shorts.

The key is right there in the name, after all, of the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts: That drawstring waist is a pro style move that feels supremely comfortable all day long, no matter how many trips to the grill or the backyard cooler you take.

Plus, the 7-inch inseam is stylish without being overly short or long — and of course, the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts channel a bit of throwback cool with use of a wide-wale cotton corduroy fabric, just like your pops might have worn in the 1970s or ’80s. How about that for style that stands the test of time?

Even the color options you’re getting with the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts, like a light grey or a rich, dusty Terracotta — are not unlike colors you’d find out there decades ago.

You can go full-on throwback by wearing the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts with a ringer T-shirt, but I think these easygoing yet polished shorts likely wear best with a soft cotton-blend polo or a retro-minded Flint and Tinder camp collar shirt. Stock your cooler with cold beer, grill up some hot dogs and let the summer fun roll on in style as you rock your fresh new Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts.

The Tuesday Steal: Flint and Tinder’s Stylish Hemp Buttondown Just Went On Sale – Try It Out Here

It’s something we’ve talked about plenty here on the blog: How can a guy stay stylish and cool in the heat, all the while tackling the demands (and pleasures!) of summer fun? If your wardrobe of summer menswear essentials is a toolbox, then the right fabrics and designs are crucial.

That’s where a textured, breathable and sustainable fabric like hemp comes into play, and you can trust the good folks at Huckberry to take hemp and turn it into a pleasingly breezy, stylish men’s buttondown shirt through the endlessly wearable Flint and Tinder lineup.

Shop the best new gear at Huckberry now

The Flint and Tinder Classic Hemp Buttondown answers the question, “What if you took one of the best Oxford shirts for men and then made it even lighter and more laidback?” and it does all of that while dropping down below $80 on sale — how’s that for a new addition to your rotation of the best summer shirts?

Best Oxford shirts for men.

Unlike thicker buttondown shirts from the fan favorite in-house Huckberry brand, the Flint and Tinder Classic Hemp Buttondown works in a touch of hemp (10 percent, to be exact), alongside organic cotton, which is especially fresh and summer-friendly in a handsome Navy Micro Stripe design. It uses lightly contrasting stitching at the pocket, but the Flint and Tinder Classic Hemp Buttondown does away with the buttondown collar for a more easygoing look and feel (just see how Huckberry styled it above).

The Flint and Tinder Classic Hemp Buttondown also boasts a classic fit, so you can wear it buttoned up over an undershirt (perhaps paired with a knit tie and Relwen Flyweight Flex Blazer), or else rock it more as a lightweight overshirt (again, see how Huckberry has styled this shirt above).

Huckberry men's shirts.

With its breezy build and versatile fit, this new twist on the buttondown shirt could also serve as an overshirt of sorts alongside swim trunks at the beach, or else with chino shorts and leather loafers for an evening summer stroll (Aperol Spritz sold separately).

For now, the Flint and Tinder Classic Hemp Buttondown is marked down 20 percent, and available in a variety of sizes — it looks like you just sorted out your next must-have summer shirt, my friends.
