The Friday Find: Flint and Tinder’s Denim Trucker Jacket is A Perfect Take on a Timeless Classic

Best denim jackets for men.

As I often like to say when it comes to this new weekly series of stylish weekend finds, well, it’s sometimes best to just keep it simple: To focus on the classics as far as menswear essentials are concerned, and to focus on selections that can suit you well now and on into the cooler fall months ahead.

One of the best denim jackets for men fits the bill quite handsomely in that regard, particularly if it’s made by one of the very best online menswear stores for stylish fellas (that includes you and me both!) — and that store, as you well know if you read this New York City style blog, happens to be Huckberry.

Shop new seasonal gear and more at Huckberry

And so, let’s dial into the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket, a tasteful swerve from Flint and Tinder’s customary lineup of the best waxed trucker jackets around.

As you’ll see with the richly crafted, hard-wearing Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket, it boasts the same fabled silhouette as the iconic waxed trucker jacket from which it takes its many style cues. And the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket is all the better for it, using “sturdy 12.75oz Cone Mills rigid denim,” as Huckberry notes, along with crisp details like slanted chest pockets with rounded, eye-catching flaps.

The handsome and expertly fashioned Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket also happens to be double-stitched and finished with vertical stitching across the body, and your new favorite denim jacket also features adjustable waist side tabs.

Beyond those crisp and classic details, the hard-working Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket is unlined for easy layering as we move from summer into fall — the list of dependable benefits and serious style points goes on (and on, and on!) but for now, you just might have to discover the beauty and wearability of the Flint and Tinder Denim Trucker Jacket for yourself. Happy Friday, my friends — here’s to the weekend, and here’s to plenty of value and style from Huckberry!

See Now, Buy Now: These Rugged Sebago Boat Shoes Perfectly Bridge the Gap Between Late Summer and Early Fall

There are certain types of menswear essentials that fall squarely into one category or another: Tailored swim trunks meant for summer, canvas sneakers made for warmer weather, rugged flannel shirting made for brisk fall days, and so on.

So when you come across a selection that can exist solidly in two seasons (or more!), it’s worth taking another, closer look — that’s often the case with the fine wares at Huckberry, a retailer for all seasons that just so happens to stock a slew of classics, like handsome boat shoes from legendary footwear maker Sebago. Let’s see what the brand has come up with to carry you from late summer into early fall, shall we?

Learn more now at Huckberry

While lightweight canvas boat shoes might seem firmly made for spring and summer, the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes tend to take their design cues from rugged chukka boots as well as Sebago’s iconic boat shoes. That versatility, my friends, makes them certainly ideal for cool summer nights heading towards the season ahead.

You see, the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes deliver rugged appeal with waxed and oiled leather, the kind that stands out handsomely underneath cuffed indigo selvedge jeans. The thick rubber lug outsole also gives the sturdy Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes more heft than your average pair of boat shoes: You could freely wear these stylish men’s boat shoes with thicker cotton chinos or even canvas work pants as you retool the bonfire at a log cabin weekend.

Heritage quality is paramount when it comes to the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes, which also feature rawhide laces for (again) a rugged touch. Plus, contrast moccasin stitching means the Sebago Ranger Waxy Boat Shoes have more in common with moc toe boots than other styles of boat shoe on the market. They retain their casual appeal, but could perhaps even be styled with wool trousers and an Oxford shirt, along with thicker boot-style socks (a style move for the pros, yourself included).

Between their hardy design, sturdy construction, historic details and dependable nature, these boat shoes are practically tailor-made to be worn now with chino shorts and a chambray shirt, and then in the weeks ahead with rolled denim and a lightweight cardigan. To me, it’s an #OOTD that comes out way the style gods would have intended as you move from summer to fall, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: This Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt is a Modern Spin on an Icon

I don’t know about you, but as I scour the market high and low for the best gear for men, I tend to turn to retailers — and style silhouettes — I know and trust. It’s something we’ve talked a lot about here on this Brooklyn style blog, but it can pay big-time dividends to be able to shop the same retailers and brands consistently, and that’s why I find myself turning nearly on the daily to Huckberry.

They’re purveyors of everything from the stylish Flint and Tinder denim shirt shown above to staple pieces like the best waxed trucker jackets, dependable stretch jeans, rugged boots and much, much more (so much more!).

Learn more now at Huckberry

The Austin-based retailer has a near 15-year history of rugged, durable, stylish gear with an eye towards the classics, and for about 10 years, Flint and Tinder (starting with the famed Flint and Tinder 10-Year Hoodie) has been a major part of that journey.

It makes absolutely perfect sense that the company updates the classics with each passing season, from one of the best new chore coats to a vintage-inspired denim shirt with military-grade detailing. Here just in time to start the transition (slowly but surely!) from late summer into early, early fall, the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt utterly delivers when it comes to top-notch design and construction, retro inspiration and hard-working appeal.

The specs on the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt are precisely what you might expect from Huckberry, in the best way possible. The denim shirt has a durable heritage, after all, from the Wild West to the factory floor, and this number uses military-grade Japanese Urea buttons for a dependable finish.

Best denim shirts for men.

Super-soft, broken-in cotton denim gives your new favorite denim shirt easy wearability right out of the box, while two flap front chest pockets deliver the workshirt utility you need to store your everyday carry. The handsome Light Wash fabrication of the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt is my personal favorite, with the ability to team with black jeans, grey stretch chinos, olive drawstring pants or tobacco corduroys come the colder months.

The Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt also boasts standout layering potential — consider wearing it atop a thermal henley or a heavyweight pocket tee as temperatures start to drop in the weeks ahead. It’s also hard not to appreciate the use of contrast white stitching throughout the shirt.

Shop men’s shirting and more at Huckberry

As with other Flint and Tinder menswear from Huckberry, it should prove rugged and built to last (especially in its eye-catching Natural shade, a fashionable departure from the norm as far as the best denim shirts for men are concerned).

With durability, classic style and layering potential top of mind, the best men’s denim shirts are a must-buy for any casually cool fall menswear collection, and I couldn’t agree more with what Huckberry has dreamed up via the Flint and Tinder Washed Denim Shirt.

Huckberry Annual Summer Sale 2025.

Has there ever been a more prime time to lean into the season at hand when it comes to the best men’s summer style essentials? You might say this is arguably the peak of the season — sure, heatwaves roll through the country, but opportunities abound for outdoor exploration, coastal getaways, rooftop soirees, secluded day hikes and brewery beers aplenty.

Best men's sunglasses for summer.

The best men’s gear can help in each and every one of those pursuits, with a hearty dash of style and utility close at hand — and you assuredly know where to go to find selections suited for every adventure far afield.

The answer, as you well know if you read this Brooklyn style blog, is Huckberry, purveyors of a wide selection of gear and menswear that’s both rugged and refined, ideal for a life well-lived and made to last.

Shop the best gear now at Huckberry

Of course, it wouldn’t be the summer season without Huckberry’s Annual Summer Sale, running now through July 29th. The brand just dropped some stellar discounts on a wide array of men’s style and everyday carry essentials, and the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale serves up deals as high as 35 percent off.

There’s plenty to love every time Huckberry breaks out the proverbial red marker for covetable markdowns, and naturally, the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale is no different — and the even better news is, you can score savings on gear that can actually go to work for you right here, right now.

For starters, Proof’s lineup of the best merino T-shirts are an undisputed must-have on my back and in my duffle bag as I crisscross the globe in my many freelance writing pursuits. I also love Huckberry’s wildly affordable sunglasses, which are marked down even further in the must-shop Huckberry Annual Summer Sale.

These cabin and camp-approved leather moc shoes from LUCA also are expertly crafted and easy to wear all weekend long. With a cushioned, comfortable gum sole and contrasting rawhide laces, I’d urge you to slip into them with cotton-linen lounge shorts and a comfortable pocket tee for cabin mornings on the front porch.

The delights and discounts of the Huckberry Annual Summer Sale extend far beyond footwear: A rugged Carhartt backpack, a handsome whiskey decanter and an array of stylish sneakers for men are also up for grabs via the essential Huckberry Annual Summer Sale. The good news is, you’ll be hearing more about this sale on the blog later this week, and you’ve got until July 29th to stock up on the best gear for men ASAP.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s Retro Corduroy Shorts from Huckberry are the Perfect Summer Style Move

Best corduroy shorts for men.

Still searching for the perfect set of summer style essentials to make the season at hand feel even more stylish, fresh, and dare I say… fun? As I tend to say here at this Brooklyn style blog, just when you thought you had it all covered, another style consideration enters the fray, and this week, we’re focusing on stylish updates to your rotation of summer shorts.

Luckily — and as often seems to be the case with the best menswear for summer — your friends at Huckberry have you covered handily, particularly when it comes to well-designed, well-cut shorts with more than a dash of retro inspiration.

Judging by the thermostat outside, there’s still plenty of time to work some fresh new shorts into your style offering this season, particularly when they’re a pair of shorts that check as many boxes as do the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts.

Available in a versatile 7-inch inseam that should work plenty well on a lot of guys — even my frame at 6’2″ — these are about as good as it gets for a set of shorts that bridge the gap between laidback lounge shorts and polished (yet slightly less comfortable) stretch chino shorts.

The key is right there in the name, after all, of the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts: That drawstring waist is a pro style move that feels supremely comfortable all day long, no matter how many trips to the grill or the backyard cooler you take.

Plus, the 7-inch inseam is stylish without being overly short or long — and of course, the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts channel a bit of throwback cool with use of a wide-wale cotton corduroy fabric, just like your pops might have worn in the 1970s or ’80s. How about that for style that stands the test of time?

Even the color options you’re getting with the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts, like a light grey or a rich, dusty Terracotta — are not unlike colors you’d find out there decades ago.

You can go full-on throwback by wearing the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts with a ringer T-shirt, but I think these easygoing yet polished shorts likely wear best with a soft cotton-blend polo or a retro-minded Flint and Tinder camp collar shirt. Stock your cooler with cold beer, grill up some hot dogs and let the summer fun roll on in style as you rock your fresh new Flint and Tinder Corduroy Drawstring Shorts.

The Friday Read: The Best Sale to Shop Besides Prime Day & Summer Weekend Menswear Recommendations

Flint and Tinder menswear review 2025.

My friends, welcome back to your weekly (or near-weekly!) Friday Read dispatch, where we take stock of the world of menswear and a dash of, well, everything — from your bar cart to your wrist game and the footwear in your rotation, all via way of a few choice reading and shopping selections.

Each of those summer style essentials has been top of mind lately, as my #FreelanceLife pursuits keep me plenty busy, as you might have seen on my Instagram these past few weeks indeed. First, I hopped across the pond to tour Amsterdam with Heineken and then spent the better part of 10 days in vibrant, energetic Sao Paolo into Fourth of July weekend.

Follow me on Instagram

As I jet across the globe and get the chance to cover everything from fine tequila in Mexico to the best bourbon in Kentucky and the coolest watches and gear on the market — to name but a few pursuits — for sites like Maxim (along with this blog!), I often think about the idea of buying less, but buying better in building out an entire menswear wardrobe.

If you’re here reading this, perhaps you feel much the same way, and perhaps you also opt for classic-meets-modern retailers like Huckberry (more on them in just a moment).

And that’s why when something like the frenzy that is Amazon Prime Day comes around, I often tend to sit out the madness — how about you?

Instead, I try to opt for sale selections from the best menswear retailers, ones that I know well, use often, love and trust.

It’s a lofty order, to be sure, but as we looked at with the very best Fourth of July sales last week, there are remarkable deals to be had out there from fan-favorite designers across the board, be it some of the best sunglasses under $50 from Huckberry or a fresh new Buck Mason polo.

Those are just two selections designed with style and value in mind, along with better-for-the-planet materials and durability. Of course, I’ve also written lately about ways to save even more on designer menswear at Billy Reid, not to mention a host of the best discounts on summer gear from the likes of — you guessed it! — Huckberry.

The point is this: Whether you opt to shop a retailer like Huckberry or if you go the stylish small business route from another fan favorite like Bespoke Post, there are options aplenty if you seek alternatives to Amazon Prime Day — from apparel to footwear, outdoor gear, everyday carry essentials and more.

Shop summer gear on sale now from Huckberry

That’s what I’ll be thinking about this weekend as I kick back with a cold, crisp summer brew while wearing some of my favorite seasonal menswear. Of course, two weekend style dispatches are headed your way in the meantime. Here’s to shopping and saving the right way, and here’s to July in New York City and far beyond.

See Now, Buy Now: These Huckberry Sunglasses Are the Best Pair You Can Buy Right Now for Under $50

Huckberry sunglasses review.

Have you hit the point of the season where you’re feeling in need of a refresh as far as your summer style essentials are concerned?

That could go for everything from the canvas sneakers on your feet to the durable duffel bag you pack on weekend getaways, but perhaps it also extends to the stylish sunglasses you opt for each and every day. Allow us to investigate further as we dive into the hard-working shades shown above from Huckberry, shall we?

Finding the right balance between durability, effortlessly versatile style and rugged construction can be somewhat difficult: After all, the best men’s sunglasses have to pass muster at the beach, on the boardwalk and at the bar at that summer wedding. Finding the right pair isn’t all that easy, but that’s why we’re here today at this Brooklyn style blog.

At least, top-of-the-line pairs like the Huckberry Sunseekers can reliably stand up to all those pursuits, and then some. Yes, that’s right — your favorite online menswear retailer continues to deliver the goods when it comes to highly affordable style staples every man should own, a pair of the best sunglasses for men very much included.

In my experience with the Huckberry Sunseekers, they’re about as high-quality as it gets for the price tag, which squarely places them among an elusive crop of the best men’s sunglasses under $50. And with 85 nearly 5-star reviews, it seems my fellow fans of Huckberry — perhaps including yourself — simply can’t get enough of the classic style and dependable design of the Huckberry Sunseekers.

Made with 100 percent UVA/UVB resistant lenses set in a sturdy yet lightweight recycled polycarbonate frame, the versatile Huckberry Sunseekers come in a range of colors and patterns, including the crisp and classic Tortoise frame set shown above (complemented quite nicely by Forest lenses). Other editions of the sub-$50 Huckberry Sunseekers come in all-black, shades of olive and blue or else earthy tones practically made to be worn with a camp collar shirt and linen trousers.

However you choose to wear your new pair of Huckberry Sunseekers, be sure to reach for them early and often — the retro-inspired frame can be dressed down with a pocket tee and light wash jeans, or dressed up in a linen summer suit with relative ease. No matter the pair of highly affordable, highly fashionable Huckberry Sunseekers you select, you’re getting the famed retailer’s seal of approval — and some serious bang for your buck. Happy summer shopping, my friends.

I personally spend plenty of time in the Huckberry Sale section perusing some of the finest gear – from stylish sneakers to breezy shirting, everyday carry essentials, summer swimwear and much more.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg: There are serious savings to be had within the Huckberry Sale section as we close out the Fourth of July weekend and roll right into the rest of summer. Go to it and get out there in style, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Proof 72-Hour Merino Henley – A Summer Adventure Favorite

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Or rather, can you update a rugged style classic and make it even better in the process? A modern Huckberry favorite seems to answer that question, at least in my experience: The Proof lineup of performance menswear from your favorite online retailer updates favorites (from polos to long-sleeve shirts to the tried-and-true henley) with some of the best fabric around in merino wool.

The results are endlessly wearable and made for summer adventure, at least in my book, and that certainly holds true with the Proof 72-Hour Merino Henley, a fresh twist on a rugged staple that every guy seems to look great wearing.

Find out more now at Huckberry

We’ve covered plenty of rugged Proof menswear fit for summer travel, blistering days in the heat and days trekking from town to trail and back, and this handsome henley in a modern fabrication fits the bill nicely for each of those pursuits (and more beyond that, of course).

From adventure pants to lightweight summer shirting, you won’t find much that can’t be made better by the moisture-wicking, anti-microbial nature of merino wool — and translated into one of the best henleys for men, the results are even more essential.

Best short-sleeve henleys for men.

The Proof 72-Hour Merino Henley does just what it sets out to do, using moisture-wicking merino wool that the brand put to the test for 72 hours of wear in some adventurous locales (you’ll find that same performance fabric in its long-sleeve tees, polos and more).

And yet, the Proof 72-Hour Merino Henley gets an even more streamlined update by way of snap metal buttons on the placket — a distinctive touch that allows you to customize your fit and ventilation on the go. Plus, this durable modern henley features a sun rating of UPF30+ for increased protection from the elements (although you’ll still want to put on sunscreen if you wear this shirt on its own — stay safe out there, folks!).

While colors like Navy are my personal favorite when it comes to this dependable short-sleeve henley, the Proof 72-Hour Merino Henley also comes in versatile Black and vibrant Aegean Blue. However, this dependable performance shirt is such a fan favorite, it’s sold out in all other colors as of now, with some sizes moving quickly. For now, your best bet is to score an available size and color of the Proof 72-Hour Merino Henley, then put it to the test far afield this season.
