The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Sweater Polo is a Retro Style Classic Made Modern

Best sweater polos for men.

Most of the time, I find that the best menswear essentials draw something from both the past and the present, giving them a feel that’s both classic and yet current. That’s the case for pieces like one of the best Oxford shirts or a pair of the best blue jeans, for instance — both of which can be found at Huckberry, the key target of today’s style (and stylish) post.

Take the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Sweater Polo shown above. First and foremost, it’s a hybrid style: The classic short-sleeve build and three-button placket of your favorite polo, merged with the heavier fabric and cut of a stylish sweater. And as luck would have it, the best sweater polos draw a little something from both the past and the present.

The style on which the Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Sweater Polo is based was popular in the 1950s and ’60s — the Mad Men era of style, you might call it — but it’s just as fresh, current and crisp today. And it’s a new entry into the Flint and Tinder lineup, the in-house brand at Huckberry that makes some of the most rugged gear for guys — including one of the best American-made T-shirts on the market.

That being said, this handsome sweater polo is a more refined style move for when you want to go a bit more classy and cleaned-up — be that at the office with stretch chinos, heading to an easygoing weekend BBQ or perhaps enjoying a rooftop cocktail date night.

The Flint and Tinder Cotton Linen Sweater Polo boasts a breathable weave and a touch of stretch at points needed for mobility, like the cuffs and bottom hem. It’s also garment-washed for added softness out of the box, and the design of this elegant sweater-polo allows you to unbutton multiple buttons or even rock the polo itself buttoned all the way to the top (what would Don Draper do?).

It’s a change of pace from your rotation of the best polos for men, but not in a bad way — merely in a way that’s both retro and current, throwback and fresh. Consider it an ideal spring style move from your friends at Huckberry.

See Now, Buy Now: This American-Made Flint and Tinder T-Shirt is the Perfect Casual Spring Style Move

Best casual T-shirt for men.

I tend to say sometimes here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog that they don’t make ’em like they used to, unless, of course, we’re talking about the best menswear from Huckberry. The retailer, which specializes in the classics made modern, all in rugged-yet-versatile fashion that’s geared for adventure, still hones in on what makes iconic styles great.

And in the case of the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt, that just so happens to mean that they’re making this subtly stylish, versatile men’s T-shirt in the United States from premium materials.

In this instance, that means they’re using garment-dyed slub cotton jersey fabric for a soft touch and soft finish, whether layered up underneath your favorite chambray shirt, worn beneath one of the best denim trucker jackets or styled all on its own with breezy chino shorts.

Huckberry notes that the use of slub cotton jersey fabric gives the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt some weight, durability and texture, and it should prove the kind of T-shirt that doesn’t lose its shape over time. The chest pocket on the aptly named Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt also gives it a touch of subtle style — it makes this classic T-shirt look less like an undershirt, and much more like a casually cool T-shirt you can wear all on its own.

And especially when paired with rolled light wash denim and suede chukka boots, the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt is going to prove an expert laidback style move. It also comes in a range of colors and sizes, and Flint and Tinder’s fit should prove flattering without being too baggy or too tight.

It’s precisely what you want in one of the best T-shirts for men, especially one of the best American-made T-shirts. And since they just don’t make ’em like they used to anymore, it’s worth securing the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt while you’ve got the chance this spring.

It’s all the better that the rugged, hard-wearing Flint and Tinder American-Made Waxed Mill Jacket carries on the brand’s legacy of some of the toughest waxed jackets on the market. And crucially, this jacket gets all the details right, as you’d expect from Huckberry and Flint and Tinder, of course.

And then, there’s the fact that the fabric itself should develop a handsome patina while getting better with age on the outside. On the inside, the quilted interior lining provides warmth when layered over everything from a pocket T-shirt to your favorite henley.

The Thursday Buy: The Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt Is Your New Favorite Workshirt for Spring

When it comes time to welcome a new season, sometimes, it’s about getting back to work — literally and figuratively, be it spring cleaning, an early season road trip or a day in the yard (or at the bar). And as one might expect, there are plenty of menswear essentials from Huckberry to help you in all of those pursuits. In my experience, the retailer gets better with each passing season, and that certainly goes for the rugged Americana menswear of Flint and Tinder.

Naturally, you know the brand for its hard-wearing waxed jackets, comfortable stretch denim and classic everyday chinos, but the Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt takes things a step further.

As Huckberry rightly notes, chambray fabric — with its woven, interlocking white-and-blue fibers and tough, durable construction — has been a part of classic workwear pieces dating back a century (at least). The San Francisco and Austin-based retailer also notes that, well, “You can’t talk about workwear without talking about chambray shirts.”

Best chambray shirt for men.

They’re right on the money with that take, and the Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt, with 100 percent cotton construction in a breathable yet durable 5.5oz. weight, works well on its own or layered up with your favorite T-shirt on a breezy spring day.

Two button-front chest pockets (including one with a pen or tool slot) add an air of hard-working utility to the aptly named Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt, which also comes in a cool-as-can-be Natural Seeded Chambray color. Either way, it’s a hard-working option fit for whatever spring throws at you this season.

Best denim jacket for men.

Editor’s note: Welcome back to The Style Guide after a brief Friday intermission. Going forward, what would you like to see from the Friday Read? A new direction might be on the way for those weekly posts, so let me know any feedback in the comments.

My friends, we’re back at it again with another look at — you guessed it — one of the best denim jackets for men, or more specifically, we’re back at it again with another look at rugged menswear from Flint and Tinder.

The Huckberry in-house brand is an icon and personal favorite for a reason in terms of the modern menswear pantheon, with durable, rugged and timeless appeal. Of course, the latest and greatest Flint and Tinder trucker jacket builds off the company’s DNA in a way that only Huckberry can.

Best denim jacket for men.

Just in time for prime layering season, the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Denim Jacket is an ideal way to bridge the gap between seasons.

As we move slowly but surely into transitional weather, your new favorite trucker jacket is ready to take on just about anything, in a fashion not all that different from the instantly recognizable, fan favorite Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket. In this case, it starts with premium Italian denim from Candiani, which you might call “the good stuff.”

Of course, this jacket follows the brand’s penchant for old-school silhouettes like the road-ready trucker jacket, with a few key updates (namely, a cotton denim exterior, of course).

The exterior also uses 2 percent stretch for ease of movement, while the 7oz. cotton-polyester blend lining adds a touch of warmth and comfort to what just might be the perfect transitional jacket.

It also boasts other handsome, throwback details, like a corduroy collar and a pleasingly vintage-inspired Flint and Tinder label. It’s also worth noting that one of the best new jackets from Huckberry comes in both a medium-wash blue denim and a Natural denim, just like the 1950s Lee Rider jackets that inspired it.

And with sturdy Flint and Tinder hardware and that handsome contrasting striped lining, this jacket surely gets the details right. Would you expect anything less from Huckberry, after all? I certainly wouldn’t, and that makes this new release a highly appealing, highly reliable option from the famed retailer.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Stretch Ripstop Waxed Field Jacket – Your New Go-To Outdoor Jacket

My friends, suffice to say, the team at Huckberry has done it again. The rugged-meets-refined, endlessly versatile retailer — based in Austin and San Francisco — already excels at making timeless menswear essentials that work for plenty of situations in and out of the field, on and off the trail and beyond.

And the latest Flint and Tinder waxed jacket is another entry in that storied modern lineage, with the kind of rugged good looks and top-notch performance destined to take any wardrobe from good to great.

Flint and Tinder waxed jackets for men.

Of course, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket is already the company’s best-selling product for a reason, with unmatched style, durable appeal and a dash of performance in inclement weather. How to top that style?

Easy: Go back to the drawing board and return with another one of the best waxed jackets for men, rather improbably. The Flint and Tinder Stretch Ripstop Waxed Field Jacket, as Huckberry says, is the latest badass addition to its lineup, with specs that are as unbeatable as its iconic field jacket design.

The beauty of the Flint and Tinder Stretch Ripstop Waxed Field Jacket starts with the fact that it’s inspired by other iconic field jackets, and then done up in Huckberry’s trademark tough-as-nails fabric (in this case, a waxed canvas exterior featuring a hint of stretch).

It’s then finished with a cozy 4oz. flannel lining for added warmth, not unlike the famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket. Custom hardware and snap pockets finish things off with crucial EDC storage space in mind, too. In my book, the newest Flint and Tinder jacket checks all the right boxes. Suffice to say, if you already have one, you’re going to love this new addition to the Huckberry lineup — I can nearly guarantee it. Happy shopping and we’ll see you out there, my friends.

Huckberry has options to suit every guy, and that includes my personal preference — the Athletic Tapered fit to suit my larger build. There are also plentiful colors and sizes in other fit options, including the Flint and Tinder Slim 365 Pants or the always-useful Flint and Tinder Straight-Leg 365 Pants. In fact, I tested out the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants in two wear-with-anything colors, including Desert Brown, and both the Straight-Leg and Athletic Tapered cuts.

With more room through the seat and thigh, but a clean taper down to the ankle, the Athletic Tapered version proved wearable with stylish leather chukka boots, round-toe work boots and even my trusty Blundstone boots. Plus, the fabric on the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants has proven soft and supple, yet highly durable, right out of the box — no break-in time required for the garment-dyed, 98 percent cotton + 2 percent spandex blend.

That dependability has made them a go-to for visiting my favorite watering holes around Brooklyn, trekking through Prospect Park and downing a cold beer or two at my favorite brewery, to name but a few favorite pursuits I can get up to while wearing my Flint and Tinder 365 Pants.

It’s modeled after classic CPO (or Chief Petty Officer) jackets worn by the U.S. Navy, with features like handy front-button chest pockets for your everyday carry, plus a large collar made to be flipped up against the cold.

For all the useful gear you’ve got in your rotation of winter style essentials, sometimes, things need to be leveled up a little bit. Take a pair of the best men’s chinos, for instance. Particularly a pair from Flint and Tinder, the excellent in-house brand at Huckberry.

They’ve got plenty of functionality built into every stitch, with inspiration drawn from vintage Army field trousers. And unlike typical chino pants, the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants are made from a sturdily knit Bedford Cord cotton blended with stretch for comfort (and mobility out in the field this winter).

But the real kicker? The use of double-brushed cotton flannel as the lining, a true upgrade that elevates these durable pants from good to great.

It helps that the lining itself gives the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants an added shot of style points (as seen by the folded cuffs atop some of your favorite winter boots above). And certainly, loyal fans of Huckberry (perhaps yourself included!) have responded, as the Flint and Tinder 365 Guide Pants are selling quite fast this season.

It should come as no surprise, seeing as they blend field-ready warmth with the sort of style that wouldn’t look out of place on a more casual day at the office or around town.
