See Now, Buy Now: This Flint and Tinder Western Shirt is a New (Early) Spring Style Favorite

Flint and Tinder men's shirts review.

How do you prepare your menswear wardrobe for the next season ahead while staying stylishly, squarely in the current season at hand? In my experience, that’s where helpful tricks of the trade come in handy: Looking for staple pieces that deliver easy wearability and timeless good looks is the name of the game, and as seems to be the case lately (and in many other seasons), the good folks at Huckberry get the job done with fresh yet utterly classic style selections.

That includes pieces that are ever so slightly on trend while remaining firmly wearable and delivering rugged good looks, like one of the best Western shirts for men. Western style, from boots to cowboy-cut denim to durable Western shirts and ranch-inspired jackets, is all the rage at the moment, but it’s a trend rooted in the classics that you can make work for you — and then some.

Take the Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt, part of a slew of new arrivals at Huckberry these days as we cast an eye towards spring. While Huckberry’s famed Flint and Tinder line relies on essentials both casual — like the iconic Flint and Tinder 10-Year Hoodie — as well as slightly dressier (like its Flint and Tinder 365 Pants), the handsome Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt is somewhere in between, as wearable with stretch chinos as with expertly faded blue jeans from the fan-favorite retailer.

The Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt gets the details right in matters of classic good looks and fresh, modern style, using 100 percent cotton construction in a durable build finished with cow bone buttons for authenticity. Western detailing abounds across the Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt, as luck would have it, including single point dual chest pockets and a Western yoke across the front and back shoulders.

The plaid colorway is, again as luck would have it, spring-friendly in every way possible, with a more versatile look and feel compared to denim shirting from the F&T line. Featuring durable stitching and a fit designed to look great untucked (or tucked in beneath a lightweight cotton blazer for a spring-ready change of pace), I’d say that yet again, Huckberry has thought of positively everything when it comes to the design and build of the Flint and Tinder Cotton Western Shirt, your new favorite early (early) spring style move, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket – A Menswear Icon Is Yours for the Takinng

Barbour Bedale Jacket review.

As we think ever so slightly about storing away your trusty winter jacket rotation in the weeks ahead, it’s wise to plan for the transition to the breezy yet still brisk climes of spring. And that’s where menswear classics can prove handy right now and in the weeks and months ahead, particularly as far as rugged, dependable and timeless outerwear is concerned.

And as we often say on this Brooklyn style blog, the classics are the classics for a reason, with a history of rugged performance in the field, striking good looks in every stitch and versatile appeal to wear with outfits slightly more casual and perhaps a bit more polished.

My friends, Huckberry has a full roster of new spring style arrivals that fit the bill in this regard — and then some — starting with the Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket, which absolutely lives up to its stylish, reliable billing.

Find out more and shop early spring gear at Huckberry

The Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket was first put to the test as a countryside staple across England and Scotland, with particular use for hunting and field expeditions, thanks to its tough waxed cotton construction and classic details like a corduroy collar and cuffs for warmth and utility. These days, it gets a modern update in a distinctive Fern color, not to mention a new peached-finish take on its utterly iconic fabrication.

The Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket also includes a plethora of pockets for your everyday carry essentials, including moleskin-lined handwarmer pockets and deep bellows pockets for storing all the tools of the trade you need for a day in the field. And to hear Huckberry tell it, the peached-finish process offers “subtle weather resistance” all the while, never a bad quality to have in one of the best spring jackets for men.

Note that unlike other models of this legendary jacket, corduroy cuffs are swapped out for tartan fabric, while durable snap buttons complement a two-way front zipper for a customizable fit that aids in mobility on and off the trail. With the rugged Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket, you’ve simply got options: Its fit should prove more classic and relaxed (it’s right in the name, after all), with room to layer essentials like a thermal henley and a lightweight flannel or chambray shirt for warmth.

And whether worn with corduroy trousers and leather moc toe boots for essential high-low style, or teamed with canvas work pants and a thermal base layer for gentleman’s pursuits in the field, you might say it doesn’t get more classic, classically cool or durable than a staple piece made modern, like the Barbour Bedale Classic Jacket. If that lines up with your spring style pursuits, shop accordingly for the weeks ahead, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Wills Sweater Chore Coat from Huckberry Elevates Any Casual #OOTD In Every Season

At the best of times, you’ve got every base covered, so to speak, in your #menswear wardrobe — from sweaters to chore coats to the hard-working blazer and the classic Oxford shirt, the building blocks are the building blocks for a reason. And when you find a piece that toes the line between two different categories, the ante is upped even further. Versatility is the name of the game, and when a style essential delivers a bit of both (in the case of the sweater chore coat above, both rugged appeal and casual ease), well, that’s the sweet spot, at least in my experience.

And of course, the good folks at Huckberry have you covered in this regard, especially when it comes to the new Wills Sweater Chore Coat, which could prove a crucial part of your next winter #OOTD.

Shop menswear essentials at Huckberry

Just introduced as part of an early look at spring menswear at Huckberry, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat carries on the sense of elevated ease and go-anywhere potential you’ll find across the rest of the Wills lineup, which also boasts luxe sweaters, casually cool sweater polos, crisp blazers and tailored trousers aplenty. The Wills Sweater Chore Coat, as we talked about before, rests somewhere between rugged and refined, which is never a bad thing to have more of in your rotation of winter style essentials.

And while some versions of the best chore coats for men indeed lean more rugged and are crafted from materials like tough cotton canvas, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat leans more refined and crisply tailored. That’s because of its sweater-like build, made from a soft cotton-nylon blend for durability and performance without losing its shape.

Finished with chore coat details like a chest patch pocket and two front hip patch pockets for your everyday carry, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat also features a lay-flat, shirt-esque collar that can be layered with ease atop your favorite denim shirt or a more rugged chambray shirt (or a henley, or a classic crewneck tee — you get the idea). With the Wills Sweater Chore Coat, the style world is your oyster, relatively speaking.

In easily wearable colors like crisp Navy or a light tan brown that would pair well with olive chinos or dark blue or black jeans in equal measure, the Wills Sweater Chore Coat delivers the right mix of crisp, easy-to-layer ease. As Huckberry so aptly puts it, this handsome chore coat delivers “the comfort of your favorite sweater with chore coat utility,” and that’s a perfect balance for your menswear wardrobe, at least in my book. Would you expect anything less from Huckberry? I should think not, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed Jacket Is Your Next Go-Anywhere Casual Layer

Flint and Tinder waxed jacket review.

If there’s one thing on my mind every time I step out into the snowy streets of Brooklyn, it’s the need — a deep need — for a darn good, tough-as-nails, hard-wearing winter coat these days. Not just any coat meets that mantle — the best winter jackets for men need to layer with ease, fight off wind and sleet, and look good while doing it — in casually rugged fashion, of course.

And while your rotation of the best winter menswear probably has a durable parka or a puffer jacket at the very minimum, rugged versatility and variety is never a bad thing. In fact, every guy can use a stable of options as far the best men’s winter jackets are concerned — and as I always say, if you can find one up for grabs at a discount within the confines of, say, the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, you should certainly make haste.

Shop the best winter gear now at Huckberry

That brings us to a seasonal layering staple, one you can wear well into spring when the snow finally tapers off: That’d be the hard-working, sleek Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket, just the latest foray into the best waxed jackets for men from the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder. It’s the best of all worlds, I say, as you shop the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, between the combination of rugged, durable staples, winter style points, functionality and savings — and this dependable, casual sits nicely at the cross-section of those categories, does it not?

The Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket looks like the kind of grab-and-go jacket every guy can use, more capable at repelling wind and rain than a nylon puffer jacket, and every bit as streamlined for casually rugged fashion (Think: Atop blue jeans and a chambray shirt or thermal henley on “balmy” days, and atop a fisherman sweater as temperatures plummet).

Billed by Huckberry itself as a “waxed canvas puffer that’s a city slicker by day and cabin dweller by the weekend,” it’s also finished off internally with recycled Primaloft insulation and useful details like a stand-up collar and welt-snap hip pockets (plus an interior chest pocket) for your ever-critical daily carry.

And while sizes of the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket are going fast in certain colors, there are more than enough options in highly neutral, easily wearable colors like Grey or Olive. And for the perfect fit, the Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed York Jacket even features snap wrist cuffs and adjustable side tabs based on how much mobility your next winter adventure calls for. At a prime savings of 40 percent off (marked down to $178 from $298), this handsome waxed jacket is an effortless winter layer packed with performance — trust me on that, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: This Lightweight Relwen Puffer Jacket Is a Discounted Style Find at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale

It should come as no surprise that the main topic of the day, the hour, the moment is the cold weather still gripping the country — right? What’s a guy to do? The answer’s proven simple, at least according to the editor and writer of this Brooklyn style blog: Head to Huckberry to stock up on the best gear for men, and shop the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale for the next handful of days in the process.

Find out more and shop now at Huckberry

As we’ve talked about in recent days, the simply stellar Huckberry Annual Winter Sale is packed with all kinds of durable, rugged and classic adventure gear for the modern man. And in the interest of time, there’s at least one stylish men’s winter jacket you should be shopping at a serious discount: The Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is the best of the best at what the Ohio-based makers at Relwen do, at least in my experience.

The company leans on heritage styles like the hiker-approved down jacket as inspiration for the coolest, most useful and modern gear of today.

That’s lofty praise, but I’d wager that in terms of lightweight performance, the Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket definitely punches above its weight, and then some (better still is the fact that the hard-wearing Relwen Featherweight Down Jacket is discounted down to $243 from $348 — savings and style rolled into one functional package, my friends. Weighing in at a mere 9.3 oz., the outdoor gear company notes this sleek yet ultra-warm jacket is already “the lightest winter-ready Relwen jacket ever,” built with handy details like a two-way center front zipper and three pockets for your everyday carry.

The placket is even reinforced with herringbone for improved durability, while plastic snaps offer quiet performance, Relwen notes. Meanwhile, a reinforced collar teams nicely with a stand-up design for comfort and protection from the wind. It’s but one of many must-shop discounts within the digital pages of the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, but it could prove the most useful and dependable at offering standout protection from the cold. Try one on for size while options are available in one of four retro-minded colors, my friends. Good luck out there, and as ever, stay stylish.

See Now, Buy Now: These Proof Rover Work Pants from Huckberry are Ready for Winter’s Worst

Best work pants for men.

If your neck of the woods looks anything like mine these days, I’m willing to bet you’re dealing with your fair share of frigid wind, deep snow and foul conditions aplenty. And yet, the work doesn’t stop, be it your winter to-do list or the ever-mounting need to shovel snow, dig yourself out and perhaps get back to the office.

For whatever’s in your way and whatever happens to be on your to-do list, the best workwear can handle it all — and then some. The best work pants for men, while not traditional snow pants you’d wear on a mountain, are more than equipped to take on the task at hand, especially if the sturdy work pants for men are the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants, which blend form and function in a reliably rugged way from the good folks at Huckberry. Better still is the fact that you can save 15 percent on your purchase of two pairs — but let’s dive into why you’d want to do that, shall we?

There’s always much to love in the way of durable winter gear, performance-minded menswear and tough-as-nails supplies in the digital shelves at Huckberry, and the road-ready Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should more than pass muster. Proof delivers adventure-minded performance menswear under the Huckberry umbrella, from its famed 72-Hour Merino T-Shirts (truly worn for three days of hard-working off-grid excursions) to the fan-favorite Proof Rover Pants, which my Proof reviews have covered here on this Brooklyn style blog.

Best work pants for men.

The hard-working Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants share much of the same DNA as the flagship Proof Rover Pants, starting with their fabrication. Your new favorite winter pants feature a tough-as-can-be cotton-blend, recycled poly fabric construction that regulates your temperature, boasts just enough useful stretch and wicks away moisture at the same time. Talk about a laundry list of features designed to move with you and make tackling your to-do list all that much easier.

Lest we forget, the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants feature reinforced construction at key stress points through the thigh and knee, plus riveted pockets for an ultra-sturdy finish. In my experience wearing the Proof Rover Pants, the pigment-dye finish makes these rugged work pants for men surprisingly sturdy and yet supple out of the box, all the better to mold to your body over time.

Of course, whether layered up with a thermal henley and a wool-lined waxed trucker jacket or styled with a burly crewneck sweater and a barn coat, the dependable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should move easily with you, thanks to the gusseted crotch. Huckberry even built out the forward-thinking Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants with a back waistband pocket for your everyday carry.

Rounding things out is the fact that some of the best men’s work pants come in three proprietary Huckberry fits, including an Athletic Tapered fit (my personal favorite) and a crisp Slim fit — not to fear though, as the reliable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should still readily team with pull-on work boots or Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots. Don’t delay snapping up your new go-to work pants — they can handle winter’s worst, and then some.

The Rhodes Footwear Work Wedge Chelsea Boots boast textured full-grain leather uppers constructed in Leon, Mexico, a place known for its fine footwear craftsmanship.

The lightweight Meramec PU outsole, on the other hand, offers grip, rebound, comfort and support, while you’ll note that these boots feature reinforced leather in key stress spots (like the top of the vamp, where the heel meets the shaft of the boot — the details make the difference, my friends!).

Dual pull tabs offer an easy-on, easy-off wearing experience, as do the elastic side gores — these are tough-as-nails Chelsea boots as fit for wearing with canvas work pants and a henley-plus-waxed trucker jacket as they are with a light wash denim shirt and dark indigo blue jeans for casually contrasting, off-duty style. You might not get all that many chances to score a pair of the best Chelsea boots for men like the Rhodes Footwear Work Wedge Chelsea Boots, so I’d urge you to jump at the chance — happy shopping, my friends.

Best blazers for men to buy now.

There’s still one last entry on the calendar to cross off before we move from 2025 into 2026, but it’s never too early — as I’ve said across the past weeks — to start thinking about how your next year will develop in matters of style and substance.

On that note, let’s start things off with a bang — and with style and savings in mind — by poring over the happenings at the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, as prime a way to roll from one year into the next as any.

Shop Huckberry’s year-end sale now through January 1st

If you’ve kept up with the blog as of late, you’ll have found that via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, there’s little that’s not up for grabs at a discount, particularly in matters of winter style (not to mention the perfect blend of cozy comfort and dashing good looks).

There are discounts aplenty on brands that aren’t for sale all that often via Huckberry, but we’ll set our sights on the fan-favorite offerings from Relwen today, a military and heritage-inspired brand with an utterly classic outlook on, well, the classics.

Ohio-based Relwen makes razor-sharp chinos, soft yet rugged flannel shirts, lined flannel shirt jackets and even some cool-as-can-be long-sleeve polos, as well as the famed Relwen Trap Blazer — it’s a streamlined, grab-and-go selection that blends the fierce determination of an old-school hunting jacket with the effortless modern cool of a lightweight blazer, and the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer goes a step further in matters of everyday comfort, fashion and reliability.

As Huckberry sagely notes, the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is “structured like a blazer, soft like a sweatshirt,” this time using a jacquard knit fabric with a smooth interior backing that’s been woven into an utterly soft, stretchy and wildly comfortable take on the classic blazer.

Best winter blazer for men.

The same hallmarks of the modern icon that is the Relwen Trap Blazer remain, like its natural-shouldered build and four-button front finished off with a handy and just-plain-cool throat latch button for added protection from the elements.

Patch front pockets help this casually rugged jacket feel like a patch-pocket blazer, while the utterly soft jersey construction means it feels and wears more like a sweatshirt, which is a major bonus in my book.

So if you’re searching for a more laidback blazer you can throw on over a contrasing T-shirt, a henley or a more rugged chambray shirt with dark blue jeans, then the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is your next menswear ace-in-the-hole.

And of course, via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, it’s on sale now for about 30 percent off. The time is plenty ripe to take stock of new and old menswear favorites: Ensure this handsome men’s blazer is among them this winter.

See Now, Buy Now: This Handsome Leather Duffle Bag from Unmarked and Huckberry Is Perfect for All Your Winter Travel

For as much as we talk about the best men’s style essentials and top gear for the modern man, it’s worth putting just as much care and thought into how you ensure those essentials stay in top-notch shape and perform their very best from point A to point B.

So, rather than hauling your favorite leather boots and one of the best chambray shirts –among other holiday style must-haves — in just any old bag, why not level up a touch this season with one of the best weekender bags for men?

Add in the fact that it’s sourced and sold by one of your favorite online retailers — the good folks at Huckberry — and we’re looking at a certified winner when it comes to some of the best travel gear for guys.

How about that, ehh? And if you — or the impossible-to-shop-for guy on your list — hasn’t heard from Unmarked, holiday gifting can present a prime opportunity to either refresh your own leather goods rotation or help a trusted, stylish fellow in your life level things up considerably.

The Unmarked Leather Weekender Bag sold by Huckberry features a rich Shedron shade of leather in an exclusive Western pattern that’s all the rage (making it worth its price tag of $400, in my experience — not a bad deal for a weekender bag you can reliably take across the country and globe as it develops better patina with age. The Unmarked Leather Weekender Bag boasts glazed pull-up tanned leather and vegetable-tanned strips for ornate detailing and richly crafted, rugged quality — its brass hardware is made in America, while the hard-working yet stylish Unmarked Leather Weekender Bag features reinforced rivets and a gold-tone brass zipper.

And another thing: Because you’re perhaps wondering what exactly you can fit in the Unmarked Leather Weekender Bag, note that its dimensions clock in at 17” x 11½” x 9”. That should give you enough space for a weekend away, and perhaps even enough space to pack a durable pair of Unmarked’s impeccably designed leather boots.

For the guy who values traveling in style, with goods built to last (even if you just score it for yourself!), this fashionable leather weekender bag is the right move.
