Part of a slew of discounts available from the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a modern update of a classic, an utterly reliable style with tightly woven cable detailing for added warmth.

To hear the famed retailer tell it, the sweater “offers heirloom-worthy craftsmanship, heritage cable-knit looks, and everyday durability” — I’ll let you be the judge of that, but if Flint and Tinder’s tough-as-nails waxed outerwear is any indication, you’re in good company with perhaps your new favorite sweater.

They don’t quite make ’em like they used to, unless the brand in question is Flint and Tinder at Huckberry. In my experience, the brand’s healthy respect for the past lends itself nicely to high-quality styles and timeless designs across the board, including this sweater spun from a blend of lambswool (for warmth) and nylon (for rebound potential and durability).

The Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater also happens to come in crisp, versatile colors like Navy, which pairs up well with chinos, corduroy pants and workwear trousers in shades ranging from tobacco to light tan to rust and olive (yes, all the colors of the spectrum are present, my friends).

The handsome Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a piece with heirloom potential in its own right, but for modern times, it’ll pair nicely with a durable flannel overshirt, a sturdy waxed field jacket or your trusty Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, to name but a few selections. And right now via Huckberry’s latest and greatest sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a discounted splurge worth adding to your sweater rotation ASAP.

In matters of durability, toughness and style, the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket checks all he proper boxes, as one would expect from the famed retailer’s Flint and Tinder line. The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket is made in the USA, lending it an extra level of care and attention to detail, while the 10oz. waxed canvas exterior is sturdy, tough and made to get better with age.

Flint and Tinder review.

The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket also boasts an ultra-warm flannel lining, while the jacket itself also features 4oz. of insulation for added warmth. It’s a tough-as-nails jacket fit for work or play, from brisk mornings in the fields to nights at the dive bar.

Plus, as our friends at Huckberry note, this jacket features a “re-waxable exterior for a lifetime of water-resistance.” How’s that for a jacket you can depend on for seasons to come? If I were you, I’d scoop up the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket as soon as possible.

Best hoodies for men.

In my experience, looking for style staples needn’t be too complicated — or rather, sometimes, you just want a sturdy, reliable, hard-working and yet casual look, perhaps one anchored by one of the best men’s hoodies. It’s a simple sportswear selection made modern when done the right way, as you can see above with the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Collection at Huckberry.

The classic hoodie has morphed over the years into a piece that can be casually layered and worn in situations far from the gym. For instance, you can team your new Flint and Tinder hoodie with a rugged waxed trucker jacket, underneath a denim jacket or a field coat, or wear it as a trusty, comfortable all-day travel essential.

Huckberry also recommends styling this reliable new hoodie in classic sportswear fashion, as with joggers and canvas sneakers — weekend coffee runs have never looked so stylish, at least in my experience.

Sturdy loopback cotton gets a garment-washed treatment for softness and comfort right out of the box, while the new Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie boasts a durable, dependable design. Features like a double-layer hood and double-layer cuffs see to that sturdiness, while its kangaroo pouch is a staple found on the best hooded sweatshirts for men.

True to form, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie comes in a range of classic, casual colors, including a sporty shade of heathered grey and even an eye-catching deep green.

While the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie might seem simple on the surface, it’s built with the kind of durable details that make a big difference when it comes to casual sportswear — made for the gym, the open road and well beyond.

Style Pick of the Week: The Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection – Modern, Made-in-America Must-Haves

There’s something to be said for menswear brands that feel modern and of the moment, while at the same time delivering a sense of classic style, the kind that’s rarely ever out of place. Of course, you’ll find those sorts of menswear essentials in spades at fan-favorite Americana-adventure retailer Huckberry, assuredly one of the best online style brands for guys – and a personal favorite.

So when the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder — the company’s flagship in-house line — put their heads together on a new, made-in-Texas collection, the results are absolutely worth checking out ASAP.

My friends, meet the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection, a tightly curated, ridiculously well-made trio of Western workwear style picks perfectly suited for the moment at hand.

After all, everything Western seems to be a growing trend in menswear, but Flint and Tinder doesn’t feel like a bandwagon hopper — the brand does things the right way, with quality and rugged appeal top of mind. The Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection is an outstanding example of top-notch craftsmanship, endlessly cool style points and a nod to Western heritage, done the Huckberry way.

From the richly crafted Waxy Kudo Roper Boots to a line of Flint and Tinder Reserve Denim (crafted from best-in-class selvedge cotton), the new offering is a stellar study in craft, hard work and attention to detail (four different types of selvedge denim certainly nod to that approach).

The great news is, a tough and hard-working pair of selvedge denim pairs up expertly with Western-style boots, along with F&T staples like a handsome roughout trucker jacket or a durable Western denim shirt.

And as Huckberry says of its boot partnership in this collection with famed bootmakers Rios of Mercedes, the family-owned company boasts “rich history that lends itself quite nicely to what the company calls “a one-of-a-kind roper boot.”

And when it comes to the jeans on offer within the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection, you’ve got your pick from a deep inky black pair of selvedge to classic shade of Khaki and Olive. Each pair of some of the best jeans for men boast a hard-wearing, break-in-ready 13-oz. Japanese fabric that’s also woven on antique shuttle looms — in Texas, of course.

Best selvedge denim for men.

A YKK zipper, hand-numbered labels and sturdy hardware deliver a tough finish and long-lasting wearability, as you’ve come to expect from Hukberry. The bottom hems feature a real selvedge finish, the kind you can show off when cuffing your jeans.

Between the incredibly well-made, frankly beautiful roper boots and a selection of old-school selvedge denim, it looks to me like the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection hits the mark on the head when it comes to both the old-world and the modern — get your pair of boots (or jeans!) while they’re still in stock.

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.

Shop men’s hats at Huckberry

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.

Flint and Tinder ballcap review.

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.

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.

Shop men’s shirting now at Huckberry

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.

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.
