The Tuesday Steal: This Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt Delivers Rugged Style at a Discount

We often talk about finding the sweet spot when it comes to scoring rugged style and savings, as the headline so implies – and today’s your lucky day, as an expert pick from one of your favorite retailers gets a markdown ahead of a prime time for fall layering and a reliable seasonal discount.

If your wardrobe looks anything like mine at the moment, it’s a mix of transitional style staples like denim shirts — the kind that remained largely in the closet during the summer — plus pieces just itching to get a proper introduction to fall, like the mid-weight cotton waffle henley.

Shop the best new gear for fall now

The great news is, of course, that Huckberry, your favorite rugged Americana gear retailer, sells each of those trusty menswear pieces and more, with the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt getting a solid markdown below $130.

It’s the sort of just-right shot towards the proverbial menswear green that can prove wearable now and in the months ahead when layered properly underneath a cardigan, a fisherman sweater, a waxed trucker jacket — hello again, Huckberry — and atop that trusty henley you’ve been waiting to wear for weeks.

Yes, my good man, whether paired with tobacco-hued chinos or mid-wash blue jeans for a shot of Western-wear contrast, the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt comes through when you need it the most (the dive bar, the rock concert, the waterfront or somewhere in between).

In fact, with its on-trend yet classic Western design, it also meets a trend of the moment without going too overboard — and that’s another sweet spot that’s tough to pass up when on sale.

Best of all is the fact that the denim shirt is a style classic no matter the era, the kind that Steve McQueen and James Dean wore from time to time with great aplomb and dashing good looks. Never overwrought or overstudied, just right — Huckberry carries on that tradition in fine fashion this season and beyond, at least in my experience.

Best Chelsea boots for men.

If you haven’t come around to it yet, the time is upon us to step up your boot game and step into fall — the best season for the best menswear, from durable henleys to hearty flannel shirts, rugged waxed jackets, expertly cut jeans, field coats and yes, boots upon boots. If you know where to look, sorting out your fall footwear rotation — at a discount, of course — is easier than it look.

And of course, the good folks at Huckberry come through with a thoughtfully curated and well-designed selection of handsome men’s boots, which have been a key topic of discussion here on this Brooklyn style blog, of course. Right at the intersection of durable work boots and stylish everyday Chelsea boots rests the durability of these Vibram outsole mini-lug boots — perhaps better suited for a rock concert or an autumnal distillery tour, but durable and rugged all the same.

Delivered in eye-catching Hickory leather, Huckberry notes these dependable boots (which are now marked down to $211 in a wide range of sizes) are ” a modern staple that strikes the balance between sharp looks and everyday utility.” Sounds like a good deal to me, ehh?

The Rhodes Footwear Vibram 430 Mini Lug Sole Boots are but the latest addition to the Huckerry-designed Rhodes Footwear line, which also features refined suede chukka boots, moc toe boots, lace-up dress boots and naturally, stylish Chelsea boots aplenty.

Crafted in Leon, Mexico, one of the premier footwear craftsmanship destinations in the country, your new favorite Chelsea boots are built with resoleable Goodyear welt construction, while the outsole itself should prove lightweight — and in fact, the good folks at Huckberry note sagely that the design “tracks less dirt but still provides trusted durability.”

Again, not a bad deal for discounted, hard-wearing Chelsea boots from a retailer you can trust, right? Here’s to the season at hand and yet another standout pair of reliable boots from your favorite online menswear shop.

If the Oxford shirt is your daily workhorse most of the year — accented by the a chambray shirt or a stretch dress shirt worn with a soft-shouldered blazer, for instance — then the Architect Shirt is cut from the same mold (if not the same cloth), with the same amount of easygoing yet polished versatility in mind. Is this handsome shirt the kind that Frank Lloyd Wright might have worn?

And in these evermore casual times, the ability to move seamlessly from a more laidback dress code to a more polished look and feel isn’t a bad thing, my friends. Let’s carry on, shall we?

The latest and greatest from Huckberry fan favorite Flint and Tinder, with its rugged Americana leanings, kicks things off in expert fall style, as the Flint and Tinder Washed Herringbone Shirt serves up classic appeal and versatile good looks for laidback style scenarios aplenty. Somewhere in between the company’s sturdy waxed trucker jackets and lightweight tees and polos for summer is this transitional layer, featuring garment-dyed 100 percent cotton herringbone construction and a lived-in look and feel.

More rugged than an Oxford shirt or a dress shirt, yet not as burly as a heavyweight flannel shirt, the Flint and Tinder Washed Herringbone Shirt should prove reliable piece when worn on its own, sleeves rolled up alongside Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, or else layered up over a henley with canvas work pants.

The Flint and Tinder Washed Herringbone Shirt also boasts two button-front chest pockets for added versatility and everyday carry storage capacity, while triangle side-seam gussets ramp up the performance-focused workwear nature of this durable men’s denim shirt.

Best denim shirts for men.

The texture of the Flint and Tinder Washed Herringbone Shirt is a major selling point as far as old school-inspired style is concerned, and when it comes to this vintage-tinged workshirt, Huckberry perhaps put it best:”Originally built for rail and factory workers, workshirts have transitioned from a job-site essential to a hardwearing staple of the modern guy’s wardrobe,”
and as it turns out, the famed retailer is utterly correct.

Look towards fall style the right way with your new favorite denim overshirt from a retailer that knows a thing or two about making ’em, my friends.

And while the good looks rival the most classic, durable moc toe boots in matters of silhouette, the material used within for the soon-to-be legendary Flint and Tinder x Easymoc Camp Scout Boots is as legendary as the product itself.

Reliable and frankly iconic cloth from an authentic vintage U.S. Army pup tent appears alongside the famously durable crazy horse leather leather upper in a distinctive quarter paneling finish, making for a pair of hard-wearing men’s boots unlike any other on the market — Huckberry, it would seem, has absolutely done it again when it comes to making some of the best gear for men.

Accents like durable brass eyelets, plentiful contrast and reinforced stitching, and a Vibram camp boot outsole come together in fine form to make this pair one of the coolest pairs of boots for men on the market at the moment — with the specs and attention to detail proving that notion quite handily indeed, my friends.

For good measure, the foam-topped leather insole will even mold to your foot over time, adding more power to the idea that the Flint and Tinder x Easymoc Camp Scout Boots are a pair of boots to score for life.
