Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat – Huckberry’s Latest Winning Jacket

Flint and Tinder chore coat review.

As the fall season rolls on, there’s not a piece I take more pride in wearing than a Flint and Tinder jacket. Or rather, any number of impossibly rugged, seriously cool Flint and Tinder waxed jackets from one of my favorite retailers, Huckberry. It’s not just one jacket or one style — it’s reliability and rugged good looks all the way across the board.

And my friends, that list just grew by one, all with the introduction of the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat. It’s an ideal option to consider as we cruise into the holiday season and the rest of winter. That’s certainly saying something, considering how many of the best winter jackets that Huckberry already stocks and sells right now. Let’s take a closer look, yes?

Best men's jackets at Huckberry.

The chore coat, in its own right, is a go-anywhere sort of option for fall and winter: It’s got the workwear stylings of a jacket you can wear from morning to night, what with its handy EDC pockets and hybrid appeal. Wear it over a long-sleeve tee, a durable henley or even an Oxford shirt — it can handle it, and then some. This particular number is also just one in a full lineup of the best men’s chore coats at Huckberry, of course.


The style works as well with dark blue denim at your favorite brewery as it does with stretch chinos and the best leather boots at a more casual office. Naturally, the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat has much of that same appeal, in a way that only Flint and Tinder can design.

The chest pocket and button flap patch pockets at the hips deliver crucial EDC storage space, and the fold-over collar can be flipped up against winter winds. Plus, the herringbone pattern is distinctive and a nice touch in brisk weather.

Polyester is bolstered by recycled wool for a touch of warmth, but keep in mind that this stretch chore coat isn’t as well-suited for winter storms as, say, your favorite parka. That being said, the rich Camel color of the Flint and Tinder Herringbone Chore Coat is a fitting seasonal style choice, especially when teamed with dark blue Flint and Tinder denim (as is the Charcoal option shown above).

It’s yet another piece you can add to your rotation in your quest to build the perfect #OOTD using only pieces from Huckberry — it’s been a personal favorite of mine to do precisely that over the years, and this handsome chore coat makes that pursuit even easier. Last but not least: It’s part of Huckberry Black Friday discounts (at least as of press time), so go ahead and save while you shop now.

See Now, Buy Now: This Rugged Flint and Tinder Rancher Jacket Is Your New Go-To Fall Layer

Flint and Tinder waxed jackets for men.

By now, I’d bet you’re used to scouring the pages of one of the best online menswear brands — that’d be Huckberry — to find the most rugged, coolest gear on the planet. The company’s in-house Flint and Tinder line is a key part of that equation, of course.

And while it might seem impossible to up the ante when it comes to Flint and Tinder waxed jackets, that’s precisely what the iconic retailer has done with the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher Jacket.

It plays off the brand’s penchant for using the finest materials to deliver uniquely tough menswear, the kind that takes a beating and keeps on going. And with the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher, it does the seemingly impossible.

Flint and Tinder Waxed Rancher Jacket.

It improves upon the already-exceptional Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, using rugged, heavier 10oz. Martexin waxed sailcloth fabric and a new, hard-working fit and design.

Available in four rich and classic colors (including Dark Oak, Charcoal and Field Tan), the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher boasts durable exterior fabrication and a quilted, flannel-lined interior (as the name implies) for maximum warmth. To say it’s a jacket that’s hard to beat is quite apt indeed.

Best of all is the fact that this remarkable jacket is made in the USA and boasts helpful details like two button-front EDC chest pockets and angled hip pockets with rounded exterior stitching. Those pockets should provide crucial storage space for any essentials you need to keep on hand, and it doesn’t hurt that the contrast flannel lining is a richly crafted, stylish pattern, too.

If you ask me, I’d say the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher is going to give your rotation of the best waxed jackets a run for its money this season (and beyond). Shop accordingly, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket

Best men's waxed jacket for fall.

How do you take a certified style classic like one of the best men’s waxed jackets and make it even better? Well, in the case of my friends at Huckberry, that means updating the already famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket with all-new, custom fabric from one of the best waxed jacket makers on the planet.

It might sound too good to be true, but when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket, seeing is believing.

Learn more now at Huckberry

It’s already part of a full rotation of the best waxed jackets for men over at the rugged, ever-versatile retailer, and the Flint and Tinder line is already quite hard to beat. In the case of this jacket, it’s the use of British Millerain Tekwax Evolution 8 weather-resistant waxed canvas that gives it plenty of durability and seasonal performance, especially on brisk fall days.

It can also stand up to chillier weather thanks to the flannel interior lining, but the real difference maker here with the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket is the unique blackwatch plaid pattern. There are also seriously cool color options available in the everyday version of this hunting-inspired jacket, but that plaid pattern is about as rich and stylish as it gets for the season at hand.

Shop waxed jackets at Huckberry

Of course, this all doesn’t come cheap, as the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket will set you back about $400 ($398, to be exact).

But given Huckberry’s know-how at finding partners who make the best stuff on the planet (in this case, the best men’s waxed jackets) is something you can trust in, and something that makes it worth the higher price tag. If I were you, I’d add the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket to your style rotation ASAP.

The Thursday Buy: There’s Never Been a Better Time to Buy The Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket

Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket review.

If I’ve said it before, I’ve said it plenty of times: Huckberry just knows how to make darn fine gear, some of the best fall style essentials day in and day out. If you read the blog, you assuredly know this, but every so often, it’s a treat to realize we’re still only now rolling into the best time of year, or rather, the best time of year to layer up with your new favorite jacket.

Or perhaps the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket is already in your rotation, but the thing is… this Huckberry classic gets better with age, it gets better by the year and it comes in a wide array of rugged seasonal colors. It’s also made in the U.S. of A, and things only get even cooler and more reliable from there.

Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket.

The specs are as reliable as ever on one of the best fall jackets for men, from the custom hardware to the waxed Martexin sailcloth to fight back against fall breezes and rain. The trucker jacket style (in a wide array of fits for every body type) also has the proper build for fall adventures, including an interior media pocket, a front-button chest pocket and handy hip pockets.

It’s not hard to see why it’s a tried-and-true Huckberry bestseller, all to the tune of more than 3,000 positive reviews. Yes, a whopping 3,000-plus — are you one of them yet?

I personally can’t wait to wear mine in casually rugged style situations aplenty, and I plan to get a lot of use out of it this fall and winter. In fact, it nearly goes without saying, but we’re big on reminders and consistency in style here at The Style Guide.

And if you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger one of the best men’s waxed jackets, period, well, it’s like I said above: There’s never been a better time to buy it. Go forth and prosper in rugged fall style, my friends. Huckberry will see you out there.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s All-American Stretch Denim Are the Perfect Pair of Jeans to Wear All Fall

Flint and Tinder men's denim review.

If you ask me, reliability is about as crucial as anything in curating the perfect menswear wardrobe. Sure, it’s tough to get things right 100 percent of the time, but if you’ve found style staples you can count on in the clutch, that’s half the battle.

Take the always-indispensable blue jean — the five-pocket cotton denim jean is a cornerstone of outfits both rugged and casual, office-friendly and more laidback. And luckily for us all, Huckberry and Flint and Tinder have cornered the market on the best casual everyday jeans.

Yes, that’s a lofty bar to clear, but in my experience, the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans live up to their name — and then some. I’ve had the chance to test out some pairs of Huckberry men’s denim courtesy of the brand lately, and believe me when I say that tried-and-true denimheads need not fear.

To be sure, the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans aren’t made of overly thick, sturdy selvedge denim, the kind preferred by denim obsessives, but they’ve got a true everyday appeal that delivers comfort and classic style in spades.

Shop Huckberry men’s denim now

The Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans do it all minus the break-in time of timeless selvedge jeans — I love the process as much as the next guy, but when you need crisply designed, versatile jeans made to be worn right out of the box, this pair will serve you more than well.

Best men's jeans for fall.

The Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans nail that essential five-pocket design, with fits ranging from Slim to Relaxed in a variety of sizes. The Straight-fit version stands up well to daily wear: They’re still tailored without being overly tight, and I’ve found the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans wear stylishly alongside everything from a pair of the best high-top sneakers to my trusty Red Wing Iron Ranger boots for classically rugged style.

What really sets the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans apart is of course the fabric itself: They come in a range of lightly hand-washed, faded styles for a look that’s lived-in right out of the box. A five percent blend of polyester and spandex boasts more stretch than other pairs of men’s jeans, which isn’t a bad thing (in my humble opinion).

They also come in dark colorways like a vintage overdyed pair, but I’ve found the 1-Year (Medium) Wash to serve my style needs quite well.

And all you denim skeptics out there would do well to give the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans a fair shot: They compare more than favorably to other Flint and Tinder denim options, like the Flint and Tinder Everyday Stretch Jeans.

Shop Everyday Stretch Jeans now

Those jeans boast a more burly, heavier 13.5.oz. denim weight, a nice touch if you prefer your denim with a bit more substance. And yet, that pair also features a hefty amount of stretch and some richly faded, hand-washed color options.

Flint and Tinder Everyday Stretch Denim.

Note that the Flint and Tinder Everyday Stretch Jeans only come in Slim and Straight fits, but like its counterpart, they’re finished off with custom F&T hardware and a durable design. If I had to make it ultra-simple (always the goal here at The Style Guide), I’d say either pair of men’s jeans are reliable, dependable, rugged and classic.

Those traits are exactly what you want in men’s denim you can wear day in and day out. Give ’em a shot at Huckberry (and style them with the brand’s famed waxed trucker jacket), and thank me later, ehh?

This rugged waxed trucker jacket is already a certified style icon, and one of the best-selling items in the history of Huckberry, not to mention Flint and Tinder. As tough as it might be to improve upon one of the best waxed trucker jackets for men, that’s precisely what the good folks at your favorite retailer (again, Huckberry) have dreamed up.

The newest take on the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket features the same bells and whistles as the modern and iconic original, including durable USA-made construction, plus custom F&T buttons and hardware. But where this revamp of the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket swerves from the norm is the fabrication itself: It’s built with rugged yet lightweight ripstop waxed cotton for a supple, dependable, weather-ready finish as you transition through shoulder season.

The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket is also lined in a richly crafted Southwestern jacquard lining that you won’t find in any other iteration of Huckberry’s best-selling trucker jacket. It’s a one-of-a-kind gem that’s already selling fast, and it’s not hard to see why.

See Now, Buy Now: The Flint and Tinder Fall 2023 Collection is Packed with Rugged Menswear Essentials

My friends, suffice to say that Flint and Tinder has done it again. The famed in-house brand at Huckberry just dropped its Fall 2023 Collection, which is big news in its own right if you ask me. Of course, the brand has certainly become known around these parts for a bit of everything when it comes to year-round menswear essentials.

Those include the excellent Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket (as well as my new favorite denim shirt and some of the best men’s chinos), and trust me when I say you’ll want to take a good, long look at this latest offering.

The Flint and Tinder Fall 2023 Collection is packed with new favorites and old classics aplenty, including a full restock of that much-loved, rugged-as-can-be trucker jacket. The offering is focused on stellar fabrics, an array of rich, dusty colors and patterns, and pieces that are ready to take on some of your own personality.

Flint and Tinder Fall 2023 Collection.

It only gets better from there though, as you consider handsome pieces like the Western-inspired, suitably vintage Flint and Tinder Brushed Blanket Shirt, plus new colors and patterns in the Flint and Tinder Crossback Workshirt.

These are pieces as fit for hauling brush or chopping wood as they are for evening brewery beers and weekend nights around the bonfire (all of which are Huckberry-approved pursuits, of course).

Add Huckberry menswear to your rotation ASAP

And this particular season, the excellent-as-ever F&T Fall 2023 Collection even includes a few rarities, namely American-made Vidalia Mills selvage denim. The entire offering is geared toward rugged-yet-versatile head-to-toe style, both on and off-duty (just check out the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Hoodie, of course).

Best flannel-lined pants for men.

The collection is packed with a few new personal favorites of mine, including the super-soft yet durable Flint and Tinder Flannel Guide Pants, lined with cozy fabric for especially brisk days and nights. It might seem difficult for F&T to clear the extremely high bar the brand has already set over the years, but in my experience, the Flint and Tinder Fall 2023 Collection does just that.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Western Shirt Is Your New Favorite Fall Buttondown

Most rugged shirt for men.

If there’s one thing I can’t get enough of, it’s the chance to truly layer up in rugged style as we roll into early fall (and well beyond). Any great wardrobe of men’s style essentials should be well-prepared in advance for what lies ahead, including the brisk breezes and crisp, crunching of leaves of fall — and the call of seasonal adventure, naturally.

There are certain pieces I tend to rely on in these situations, and I’ve recently found a new one to add to my roster. Or rather, a new (old) piece: The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt is a fan favorite, and a sttylish men’s shirt restocked in time for a new season, with all the rugged appeal a guy could ever want.

If you’ve perused the blog over the years (or even as recently as this week!), then you know Flint and Tinder covers all the right bases: Versatile, well-made menswear crafted from durable-yet-supple fabrics, with the potential to work as well for an evening of brewery beers as a day at the office.

That goes for its henleys, waxed trucker jackets and the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, naturally. The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt toes the same line: Polished yet rugged, visually appealing, made to be worn again and again.

The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt gets the basics right, including the use of 100 percent cotton denim in washes like a richly faded Medium Dark Wash, as well as crisp Black and a classic Stonewash denim. The burnt cow bone snaps are an authentic touch, as is the Western detailing throughout.

I’ve found the Medium Dark Wash edition of the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt to be an ideal fit in a size XL, too. It’s comfortable enough to button up on its own, easygoing enough to wear open over one of my favorite T-shirts, and sharp enough to wear with the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants or else casual grey denim.

It’s an optimal headliner for any casually rugged fall #OOTD, with hundreds of positive reviews that justify dropping $158 on a Western shirt. Who knows — it could very quickly become your new favorite fall shirt.

Flint and Tinder 365 Pants

Sometimes, repetition and practice are your two greatest friends in building or refining a menswear wardrobe you love to wear. That starts with finding essentials from brands and retailers you can trust, then honing those picks season after season.

Take Huckberry, for instance. You likely know the company from its partnerships on rugged watches and durable shirt jackets — and that’s just the tip of the iceberg — but what makes it so easy to go back to Huckberry is the range you’re getting in terms of selection. The company’s Flint and Tinder line is, of course, a particular favorite of mine (if you know, you know!), especially the ever-reliable Flint and Tinder 365 Pants.

Shop Flint and Tinder at Huckberry

This certainly isn’t the first time I’m talking about (potentially) your new favorite pants here on the blog — and that’s where consistency comes into play, because I’ve been impressed with the quality, fit, variety and versatility of these pants ever since I tried ’em years ago.

Here’s the even better news: The supple, durable Flint and Tinder 365 Pants — which blend the five-pocket style of a classic jean with the polished cotton-blend fabric of a chino — are better than ever this year as we roll into fall. Take it from someone who knows (tips cap).

I recently tried out a new pair of the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants and found the fabric to be soft yet durable, and the style points unmatched. The fit also offered room to move, a crucial detail in the Tapered fit in particular. It’s also tough to top the vast array of color options (12 in total!) and four fit types, along with sizes up to 44×32. Yes indeed, there are plenty of options for the guy who wants to bridge the gap between casual and office-ready style.

I wore my Flint and Tinder 365 Pants to a brewery for evening beers (alongside a Flint and Tinder Western shirt, of course), and then kept those same pants in my rotation later in the week for refined cocktails. I also plan to trot them out during #NYFW events in New York – that sort of versatility is nearly unmatched, in my book.

Flint and Tinder 365 Pants review.

These reliable (there’s that word again!), wear-with-anything pants are exactly the type of piece Huckberry excels at making. How so? Well, they blend the rugged appeal of jeans with the class of chinos, for starters. The fabric is soft yet durable, they’re crafted to work well at the office or on date night, and they’ve got plenty of personality thanks to a garment-dyed finishing process and a wide range of colors to suit every sense of style.

Back to that first point: The Flint and Tinder 365 Pants are part of Huckberry’s outstanding Smart Casual Collection, which urges you to rethink what you thought you knew about business casual style.

Opt for richer, more interesting fabrics, pieces that mix a blend of rugged and refined style, and then accessories that toe the line between both fields. Taken all at once, the Smart Casual Collection is a way of dressing for the office (and for any classy occasion) that’s fresh and modern — and at the core of it could be the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, so give ’em a shot yourself as we turn the page to a new season.
