The Tuesday Steal: Amp Up Your Casual Style Rotation with this Flint and Tinder Hat from Huckberry

Flint and Tinder ballcap.

Just as no man is an island, no one’s rotation of the best menswear essentials is ever quite fully complete, or fully finished…. right? At least, that’s the case if you believe in the small details making the difference, and in the need to complement a casually rugged #OOTD the right way.

In the case of today’s standout featured pick — a pick you should just buy if you’re search of an expert way to top off your outfit — the details certainly count. That’s because we’re talking about a Flint and Tinder ballcap, one made the right way, the proper way by the good folks at Huckberry — the sort of ballcap that might put other casual ballcaps in your rotation to shame.

That’s lofty praise, to be sure, but for under $40 on sale at the moment, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat hits on all the marks you’d expect from an accessory bearing the praise-worthy F&T designation. For one, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat is truly a ballcap that can take a beating come fall and winter, and that’s not to be overlooked

Sure, it might not be the hat you’d reach for in the depths of a blizzard, of course (save a Huckberry beanie cap for that). And yet, its waxed canvas crown is nicely complemented by a seasonally friendly corduroy brim for texture, style and toughness.

In fact, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat might break in just as nicely as your favorite Flint and Tinder waxed trucker jacket — if you’ve had one of those covetable trucker jackets in your rotation for years, then you know that Huckberry means business.

It’s as if this cap (assuredly one of the best ballcaps for men) was made to pair up with rugged picks like a denim sherpa jacket or a flannel overshirt and a sturdy pair of blue jeans. Beyond that, the right ballcap shields your face from sun, rain and wind, proving critical in times of work and times of leisure (another round of brewery beers, anyone?).

Details like the leather strapback and brass fastener further deepen the durability of the Flint and Tinder Waxed Canvas & Corduroy Hat, at least in my experience. And while that might be lofty praise to call it one of the best men’s hats on the market, it’s certainly a fine deal at the moment for under $40.

The Thursday Buy: These Flint and Tinder Terry Sweatpants are your Holiday Loungewear Solution

Flint and Tinder sweatpants review.

In the chaos of the holiday season — travel, gift wrapping, holiday hosting, holiday baking, last-minute shopping — shouldn’t some things be simple? Some things, like stepping into a pair of the best men’s sweatpants, yes, should certainly be simple.

And for rare moments of relaxation and casual days at home, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants are making their case as a newfound holiday essential. Of course, they come from my good friends at Huckberry, and they’ve arrived not a moment too soon for some crucial holiday time kicking back — classic movies on TV and egg nog (or a nice dram of whiskey, or both) close at hand.

Granted, holiday hosting (as well as venturing out to a holiday party) requires something with more polish, more style and a bit more refinement, agreed? But for plenty of downtime in between — if you’re lucky, that is — I’d wager a pair of the best sweatpants for men can pull their weight, and then some.

The Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants are made the classic way, with a midweight French Terry cotton getting some extra softness via garment-dying — that makes ’em feel like these are the sweats you’ve worn for years, with the comfort to match.
A ribbed drawstring waistband and cuffs provide a secure, customizable fit — if your holiday celebrations tend to lean more casual at times, then you’ll very well want to wear your new favorite sweatpants in front of a roaring fire after a packed holiday meal.

Like all things Huckberry, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants come in a range of versatile colors, and they feature side slant pockets and a useful back pocket (stow your bottle opener in one of ’em as you crack open a holiday beer). They’re certainly not the fanciest pants in your style rotation, but that’s not a bad thing.

Best sweatpants from Huckberry.

Think of the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Sweatpants as a worthwhile casual style upgrade that you can feel good about wearing (and feel good while wearing, if the weather outside is frightful). Team them with wool slipper-boots from Huckberry, for instance, and settle in for “A Christmas Story,” or “Christmas Vacation,” or “Elf,” or, well… you get the drift, and you know the sweatpants you’ll be wearing this holiday season.

Fllint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket review.

It’s already been a momentous holiday weekend for the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals on your favorite gear and menswear, and rest assured that we’re not done yet. If you haven’t yet gotten all your holiday shopping done, and if you haven’t yet scoured the exceptional menswear on offer from Huckberry as part of the Huckberry Cyber Week Sale, it’s about high time you locked in and logged on.

Shop and save now at Huckberry

There are plenty of rare discounts up for grabs from the retailer as far as the best winter menswear and gear is concerned, and that also includes a full rotation of Flint and Tinder waxed jackets, like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket as shown above. It’s an utter classic in every regard, with rugged style and winter-ready functionality in spades, starting with its tough waxed cotton exterior for performance in the wind, rain and snow.

Best waxed jackets for men.

It gets even better, because right now, the burly Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket is 25 percent off (as of the time of this writing), dropping the sale price down to well below $300. That means you’re getting a heck of a lot of jacket for an agreeable price, seeing as the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket comes complete with added features like a detachable hood, a fully lined body finished with cotton flannel, and a plethora of pockets for your everyday carry essentials.

The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket also boasts a longer cut than the classic Flint and Tinder Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker (which you should also consider scoring this weekend), so it’s useful as a field coat as well as a chore coat option.

Front snap pockets provide critical storage space, while a series of rich, dark and earthy color options should pair with everything from inky blue selvedge to tobacco chinos and grey work pants.

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket review.

No doubt about it, the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket is a beast of a jacket, one with utility and rugged style points in spades. And considering it’s one of the best men’s jackets to buy on sale for Cyber Monday, the newly iconic Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket deserves its own place in your wardrobe. Happy shopping, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Is Your New Everyday Flannel Shirt from Huckberry and Flint and Tinder

Flint and Tinder flannel shirt review.

In my experience, a guy’s wardrobe of men’s style essentials needs rugged, cozy yet versatile options aplenty across the brisk months of autumn, and that certainly holds true even if you find yourself splitting time between home and the office.

For fall weekends galore, for those casual days at home and for nearly every time in between (See: Weekend coffee outings and whiskey bar visits), a reliable flannel shirt can work wonders when it comes to classic, flattering style. The even better news, as you might expect, is that Flint and Tinder has just the one you need now.

Shop fall must-haves from F&T

Heck, depending on the sort of office you work in, you might even be able to get away with wearing one of the best flannel shirts from Huckberry, like the ever-reliable Flint and Tinder Midweight Flannel Shirt shown above (I’m wearing one right now as I type this).

We’ve talked lately about versatile buttondown shirts from Flint and Tinder, the sort that more closely resemble an Oxford shirt (like the F&T Architect Shirt), but this particular number is a bit more casually rugged — and no less essential when it comes to your wardrobe.

In my book, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Flannel Shirt checks the proper boxes as far as a modern update to the traditional flannel shirt is concerned. Those boxes include the right fabric, which in this case is a 7.6oz., custom-developed 100 percent cotton flannel — not as dressy as an Oxford shirt, not as heavy as a burly Flint and Tinder shirt jacket.

Raglan-stitched sleeves give you room to move and room to layer — useful as you gear up for fall road trips, and even more useful if you’d like to rock the Flint and Tinder Midweight Flannel Shirt atop a base layer, like a henley. Crucially, this handsome flannel shirt comes in an oversized-yet-timeless, bold plaid in three distinct variations, and the brushed flannel exterior should prove ultra-soft and supremely comfortable.

It’s the kind of rugged, hard-wearing choice that makes every guy look casually cool in laidback style situations — even if your office for the day happens to be your favorite coffee shop. Join the club and join me in wearing one of the best men’s flannel shirts for fall — the season is upon us, after all.

Flint and Tinder wool jacket review.

These days, as brisk weather persists and leaves crunch underfoot, rugged style remains the name of the game. And folks, that’s where Huckberry continues to deliver with yet another standout style from its Flint and Tinder line.

We’ve talked plenty as of late about the best men’s jackets and boots for fall (and beyond) from the famed retailer, and the Flint and Tinder Heritage Wool Jacket is a return to form in every way possible.

Or rather, it carries on the brand’s legacy of bringing forward classic styles — like the time-honored heavyweight wool jacket — into the present. The Flint and Tinder Heritage Wool Jacket takes its cues from old-school work jackets, the kind your grandfather might have worn on a frigid fall or winter day, and boasts all the design cues needed to really get down to business.

Those touches include wool snap chest pockets (including a double pocket on the left side), along with sturdy double stitch construction at key stress points. Yes indeed, the Flint and Tinder Heritage Wool Jacket is everything you need in a warmer wool jacket — it’s a durable step up from the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, no doubt about it.

And with its handsome plaid colorway and classic good looks, it’s a timeless piece that wouldn’t look out of place on, say, Robert Redford decades ago. If that’s the kind of style and utility your wardrobe could use, you’re certainly in luck when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Heritage Wool Jacket. Cheers, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s Latest Quilted Jacket is Made for Shoulder Season

Flint and Tinder men's jackets.

Ahh, yes: Shoulder season. The term given as a nickname for fall or autumn by those who love layering up with the finest menswear essentials, outerwear and more. And it’s as fine a term as any to give to the best time in the menswear pantheon, as the crisp temperatures of fall lend themselves quite nicely to throwing on, say, the new Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket.

Learn more now via Flint and Tinder

Already known for crafting some of the hardest-wearing, toughest outerwear on the market via Huckberry, Flint and Tinder goes in a slightly different direction with its latest release.

The Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket riffs on both the puffer jacket and the shirt jacket in its hybrid style, which Huckberry says “combines classic style with modern functionality.” If looks are to be believed, the company is once again right on the money.

The Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket boasts all the hallmarks of one of the best shirt jackets for men, from the easy-access snap front to the oversized snap button chest pockets. Even its side pockets snap shut for added everyday carry storage, and the nylon exterior is water-resistant for an added shot of performance.

As to be expected in its name, the Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket is built out with 80-gram recycled polyester fill for warmth that’s also easy to move around in — or layer atop another rugged Flint and Tinder buttondown, for instance.

Helpfully in matters of style, the Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket comes in a series of rich seasonal colors, like Dark Forest or Brick. Each would pair up easily with an natural-colored henley and indigo jeans, or else with a plaid flannel buttondown and Flint and Tinder’s famed 365 Pants.

Shop modern menswear at Huckberry

It’s a quick, easy-on, easy-off layer with a refined shirt collar design that elevates the traditional puffer jacket in stylish, rugged fashion, and those touches make the new Flint and Tinder Jackson Quilted Jacket a must-buy for the weeks and months ahead.

The Tuesday Steal: Get Huckberry’s Latest Waxed Jacket for Under $200 Right Now

Flint and Tinder James Jacket review.

Rugged appeal and value are the name of the game this fall, at least as far as I’m concerned when it comes to the latest and greatest set of fall style essentials from my friends at Huckberry.

It’s a tricky combination to get precisely correct, but the long-running retailer — one of my favorite menswear companies — continues to knock it out of the ballpark (hey there, World Series), especially with its Flint and Tinder menswear lineup.

Shop new styles now at Flint and Tinder

And that lineup just got a new member, one that’s fairly priced, built to last and crafted with expert care for rugged fall style. That’d be the Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket, yet another standout edition to your lineup of durable gear for the season at hand.

It’s billed as the younger brother of the iconic Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, another style worthy of consideration as you build out stellar, versatile and seasonally minded style selections.

With a lighter weight than its trucker jacket counterpart, plus metal snap buttons for a more sporty look, the Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket uses an 100% BCI Halley Stevensons Dry Finish Waxed Cotton Canvas that’s then lined with jaspe cotton. Of course, that material comes in classic F&T colors like Field Tan and Forest.

Those touches give the Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket a more pliable, year-round feel, one that still works wonders when layered up properly for fall. Waist welt pockets offer storage for your everyday carry essentials, and a chest pocket gives it a more crisp look and feel.

The Flint and Tinder James Waxed Snap Jacket is the type of hard-wearing coat you can wear on the trail or out in the field, or else layered up handsomely with a thermal henley alongside expertly faded jeans — brewery beer in hand, of course. For unmatched versatility and standout style, turn to the latest from Flint and Tinder, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: These Flint and Tinder Work Pants are Up for Grabs at a Discount in Time For Fall

At times, you’ve got to keep your ear to the ground — or a weather eye on the horizon — to find a discount on the best men’s style essentials, the sort of pieces you can actually wear immediately in a given season.

That is to say, while some retailers shop past seasonal wares (say, selling spring gear in the fall), some retailers, like Huckberry, offer up discounts on goods that can be put to good use right away — like a pair of the best work pants for men, as shown above from Flint and Tinder.

Find out more now at Huckberry

We’re diving into the pair in question during today’s Sunday Sale with plenty of time to spare in terms of rugged fall style and wearability, and the fact that these durable men’s work pants are nearly 50 percent off is a nice added bonus indeed.

Look closely, and you’ll see that the Flint and Tinder Ripstop Mill Pants are based on an archival pair of U.S. Army pants, and outfitted with plenty of helpful bells and whistles.

Those include a cotton-linen ripstop blend for intense durability and yet a lightweight appeal — until temperatures drop drastically, these pants should prove an ample substitute at times for heavier canvas work pants.

They’re also double-lined in the knees, and Huckberry doubled down by reinforcing the pockets and key stress pants. The fit should provide ample room to move — no matter your fall pursuits — and the style points are there for rugged off-duty pursuits, like brewery beers or apple orchard strolls.

A pair of work pants in a rich earthen shade, the kind that are stylish enough to wear in your downtime and hard-wearing enough to pass muster for outdoor fall projects? Sign me up, and be sure to add this pair to your cart while they’re still up for grabs in the Huckberry Sale section, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Architect Shirt – A New Fall Style Staple

Flint and Tinder men's shirt review.

In my humble opinion, the best menswear staples are sometimes the ones you don’t have to think too hard about — the kind of pieces that look great just about anywhere, while serving as a versatile wardrobe backbone. And one of the best men’s shirts qualifies, especially if it hails from the new Flint and Tinder Fall Collection as designed, stocked and sold by my friends at Huckberry.

Learn more now at Huckberry

Simplicity certainly makes the difference, and what might look subtle on the surface can actually end up being a heroic, useful style move — like the Flint and Tinder Architect Shirt, for one. It’s today’s Style Pick for a reason, with plentiful wearability and some small yet much-appreciated features that elevate it from the typical buttondown shirt.

Best men's buttondown shirts for fall.

The Flint and Tinder Architect Shirt checks off all the proper boxes when it comes to an everyday buttondown: It boasts classic Oxford shirt construction, right down to the buttondown collar and chest pocket. Those details mean you can wear it untucked with mid-wash blue jeans or tucked in alongside, say, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants and your favorite pair of leather boots at the office.

But your new favorite buttondown shirt also has some points of distinction going for it, starting with the use of hearty Donegal fabric with a textured look and feel. That fabric also gives the Flint and Tinder Architect Shirt more wearability in the colder months of fall and winter — your average linen buttondown shirt for summer, this is not.

Shop men’s shirts and more at Huckberry

It’s even reinforced with elbow patches for a workwear-inspired touch, and a bi-swing fit in the back provides greater ease of movement, whether at the drafting table or the coffee shop. Available in four crisp, stylish Donegal fabric colors, the handsome Flint and Tinder Architect Shirt is ready to step in at a moment’s notice this fall, whether worn on its own or layered underneath one of the best fall cardigans.

That’s how I’d wear it, and if you feel the same, drop me a line in the comments below. Happy shopping and we’ll See You Out There, my friends.
