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).

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.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Vintage Soft Wash T-Shirt – A True Modern Classic

Best T-shirts for men.

We often talk here on this Brooklyn style blog about adorning your wardrobe with the classics, with modern updates to staple pieces that can stand the test of time, look great while doing so and deliver a dash of casually rugged style to your menswear wardrobe — in any season, of course.

That holds true with the basics from the ground up, but it’s particularly important when selecting one of the best T-shirts for men, and that’s where our friends at Huckberry deliver a winner (yet again I might add).

Shop the best gear for men and more at Huckberry

After all, you can wear one of the best men’s T-shirts for work or play, for BBQs or lounging on the front porch, for day hikes or days in the garage, for afternoons at the brewery and just about everything in between.

Yessir, when it comes to your weekend style ensemble, there’s not much that can get as much done as the humble T-shirt — you best make yours a great one, like the Flint and Tinder Vintage Wash T-shirt. This hard-working T-shirt builds off the classics, like the simple yet sturdy tees favored by guys known only by their last name: McQueen, Brando, Dean… the list goes on. In the annals of menswear, the right T-shirt simply delivers the goods, and you can trust Huckberry to come up with their own spin on an iconic favorite.

There’s plenty to love about the Flint and Tinder Vintage Wash T-shirt, starting with the fact that it’s made in the USA and finished with a garment-wash treatment for an exceptional level of softness. The use of 4.5 oz. cotton, in my experience, makes this T-shirt soft and highly wearable: It holds its shape and structure over time, whether you select one in a crisp color like Black or my personal favorite, Olive (you can see me wearing a Flint and Tinder pocket T-shirt in a very similar construction and color above, over on my Instagram).

Yes, to say I’m a big fan of the Flint and Tinder Vintage Wash T-shirt in its many variations — including Classic or Tall fits, plus eight timeless colors — is an understatement, and I think you’ll start to feel the same way about the Flint and Tinder Vintage Wash T-shirt the more you wear it.

Better still is the fact that you can bundle multiple options of the handsome, easygoing yet hard-wearing Flint and Tinder Vintage Wash T-shirt and save — buy three, in fact, and save 15% on the Flint and Tinder Vintage Wash T-shirt. The next time you reach into your T-shirt drawer, in search of a tee to wear with light wash jeans, chinos or even laidback lounge shorts, make sure it’s this best-selling Huckberry T-shirt.

See Now, Buy Now: These Comfortable Linen Drawstring Shorts from Flint and Tinder are Ideal for Summer

Best summer shorts for men.

When the high heat of summer hits, which it certainly will, there are times you need to go as casual and (literally) cool as possible, all the while still looking put together and (dare I say) fashionable. The very key to your off-duty wardrobe lies in a pair of the best shorts for men, but we’re swerving from the path of the best chino shorts ever so slightly.

While chino shorts with a hint of stretch work well for everything from BBQs to coastal beach shindigs, you very well might want to lighten things up even further — and that, my friends, is where Huckberry and our fellow style mavens at Flint and Tinder come in very handy.

How is it possible to lighten things up even more from chino shorts? The answer lies in the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Drawstring Shorts, an effortlessly cool pair of shorts with the comfort of lounge shorts and the good looks of your go-to pair of everyday shorts.

You see, the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Drawstring Shorts make it possible to stay even cooler than a regular pair of shorts, and that’s invaluable when the weather merely calls for, say, a lightweight T-shirt and boat shoes. They feature the welt and back pockets of crisp chino shorts in terms of design, but use an expertly garment-dyed 70 percent cotton, 30 percent linen blend to keep you cool from day to night.

The tailored fit of your new favorite casual shorts should hit nicely above the knee in polished fashion (and know that besides the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Drawstring Shorts, Huckberry also sells shorts with 8 and 9-inch inseams for the taller fellas among us).

Available in versatile colors like Navy and Olive — which you pair with practically everything in your wardrobe, the handsome and laidback-yet-stylish Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Drawstring Shorts also come in a pleasing Indigo Stripe color to add a touch of flair to a charcoal polo and brown leather loafers (try it on for size and let me know how it all works out).

And since this is Huckberry we’re talking about here, the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Drawstring Shorts are priced more than fairly at below $90.

And while breezy polos and linen shirting are always a wise choice, sometimes, a dash of flair is appreciated — a nod to current trends like the best Western shirts for men comes in handy, as does the entire array of Huckberry gear and menswear for summer.

And that leads us quite handily to the Flint and Tinder Sawtooth Western Shirt, a reliable and modern spin on an old favorite that checks plenty of boxes as far as the best summer shirts for men are concerned. The casually rugged effortlessly cool Flint and Tinder Sawtooth Western Shirt takes its cues from the style of West Texas (a key point of inspiration for the Austin-based brand’s Spring and Summer 2025 Collection), and your own off-duty wardrobe is all the better for it.

The Flint and Tinder Sawtooth Western Shirt uses soft yet strong 100 percent cotton in its build, and handily comes in an array of vibrant, West Texas-inspired colors and patterns.
