The Friday Read: Recapping NYFW, The New Flint and Tinder Spring Collection & ‘The White Lotus’ Season Three

In the menswear world, it’s sometimes a tricky balance — to look forward to what’s new and what’s next in seasons to come, all the while zipping to events scattered across Manhattan during New York Fashion Week.

And at the same time, there’s the desire to keep your eye on the prize, so to speak, when it comes to the best spring menswear (like the new Flint and Tinder Spring Collection from Huckberry, as shown above). My many freelance writing pursuits — as you know if you follow me on Instagram — give me the chance to tackle both, and then some.

It’s a balance I’ve been thinking about quite a bit as we roll into another Friday Read — and as we deal with dressing in style for winter, of course, with the best men’s style essentials close at hand. Perhaps you feel you’re in the same boat? Ready to start dressing for early spring, yet tasked with layering up for early winter?

Yes indeed, that’s how I feel as I gravitate toward hearty winter selections like the Billy Reid Bond Peacoat, while at the same time prepping my wardrobe for a transition with selections like lightweight corduroy shirting, expertly washed denim jackets, garment-dyed sweatshirts and more — all from the new Flint and Tinder Spring Collection, of course.

And yet, I saw plenty of intriguing, memorable menswear during NYFW, including a standout prep-meets-modern collection full of expert tailoring from rising brand Peak Lapel NYC. I was also impressed by the flowing, challenging silhouettes of Sergio Hudson, and cool-as-ever Japanese outerwear and sturdy, commute and travel-ready bags from Yoshida Porter.

But this begs the question: What does NYFW mean for you — and for me — as we navigate stylish daily dressing here at this Brooklyn style blog? Let’s dive in before the weekend kicks off in earnest, shall we?

  • Above, you’ll see a monochromatic look with plenty of texture and an edgy, rock n’roll finish from Authentic Roz: At the elegant Prince George Ballroom last Saturday, the upstart fashion label unveiled its “I AM DIFFERENT” collection, using 24 edgy looks to deliver a “a visual manifesto of self-discovery.” The experience was chic, rugged and a blend of the minimalism of Japan plus the downtown cool of New York City streetwear. In short, Authentic Roz was everything thought-provoking about NYFW. So, when it comes to my favorite look above, how does this translate to your own wardrobe? Make note of earth tones, of the workwear vibe of the jacket itself, and then see how brands like Buck Mason are delivering a dusty range of colors in military-inspired silhouettes, from canvas shirt jackets to field jackets and even denim. And that, my friends, is fashion done right.
  • Speaking of Buck Mason and the legendary modern Americana brand’s focus on the classics, well, the brand has done it again, you might say. If you read this style blog on the regular, then you’ll know that the company delivers expertly crafted denim, outerwear, super-soft T-shirts and ruggedly handsome looks like denim and chambray shirts. But it’s the denim we’re here to talk about today: Buck Mason just debuted an entirely new denim range, and as you perhaps read about yesterday on this very site, the Buck Mason Japanese Denim Ford Standard Jeans are a new masterclass in affordable Japanese denim. Hit the link below for more, my friends.

  • Are you a fan of the smash hit television series ‘The White Lotus’? The HBO drama — created by “School of Rock” co-star and writer Mike White — takes viewers to exotic locales around the world, showcasing an often-ritzy, mysterious and surprisingly dark week in the life of the resort’s wealthy guests. The setting this go-round is Thailand, which lends itself to a range of crisp, refreshing cocktails enjoyed by its guests — including actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, who stars in a new campaign promoting Thailand, “The White Lotus” and of course, Ketel One vodka and Tanqueray gin (both favorites of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son). Fittingly enough, I got to talk to the young actor about all of those pursuits and more over at Maxim.com. Cheers, my friends!

That’s going to wrap up today’s exploration of NYFW style, the best new denim and the standout Flint and Tinder Spring Collection from Huckberry — there’s something for everyone today, is there not? Now, before I let you stroll off into a winter weekend — and Valentine’s Day weekend (hello to my love, Mary!) — I’ll leave you with my guide to the best winter work boots from Wolverine. Lace ’em up and get after it, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Cable Sweater Delivers Expert Winter Warmth (and Style)

Winter shows no signs of letting up or slowing down, at least in my neck o’ the woods — that calls for burly, durable, dependable outerwear and knitwear. In fact, if you’ve got the opportunity to pick up a heritage-inspired style at a discount, that’s all the better — and we’re hitting the sweet spot today with a classic cable knit sweater from our friends at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder.

Find out more now at Huckberry

Part of a slew of discounts available from the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a modern update of a classic, an utterly reliable style with tightly woven cable detailing for added warmth.

To hear the famed retailer tell it, the sweater “offers heirloom-worthy craftsmanship, heritage cable-knit looks, and everyday durability” — I’ll let you be the judge of that, but if Flint and Tinder’s tough-as-nails waxed outerwear is any indication, you’re in good company with perhaps your new favorite sweater.

They don’t quite make ’em like they used to, unless the brand in question is Flint and Tinder at Huckberry. In my experience, the brand’s healthy respect for the past lends itself nicely to high-quality styles and timeless designs across the board, including this sweater spun from a blend of lambswool (for warmth) and nylon (for rebound potential and durability).

The Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater also happens to come in crisp, versatile colors like Navy, which pairs up well with chinos, corduroy pants and workwear trousers in shades ranging from tobacco to light tan to rust and olive (yes, all the colors of the spectrum are present, my friends).

The handsome Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a piece with heirloom potential in its own right, but for modern times, it’ll pair nicely with a durable flannel overshirt, a sturdy waxed field jacket or your trusty Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, to name but a few selections. And right now via Huckberry’s latest and greatest sale, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Cable Crewneck Sweater is a discounted splurge worth adding to your sweater rotation ASAP.

The Tuesday Steal: Save on the Famed Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket at Huckberry This Week

Best winter jackets for men.

As we often talk about here on this Brooklyn style blog, it often pays off to have a roster of men’s style essentials you can count on in the clutch — preparing for whatever the season throws at you can go a long way. And right now, for much of the country, that involves frigid air, brisk winds and plummeting temperatures — the perfect sort of weather in which to break out the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket from our good friends at Huckberry.

The best part? You’ll find it on sale right now via the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale, which rolls on through February 6th — but then again, you might already know that if you’ve been keeping up with the blog.

Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket review.

The Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket is the sort of stylish winter jacket for men that comes in handy in a great deal of style situations, and it’s all the better that it’s on sale (marked down to $254, from $318). The water-resistant outer shell comes in a hardy woven nylon-cotton blend for repelling water and wind, while 80-gram down insulation from recycled polyester adds warmth.

Granted, the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket isn’t rated for sub-zero temperatures necessarily, but should prove serviceable as a mighty fine winter jacket — perhaps atop a Relwen flannel shirt — provided you’re not traipsing through foot-high snow drifts (there are a variety of other men’s jackets at Huckberry that can tackle those scenarios).

The stand-up collar provides protection from the elements, useful inner and outer zipper pockets allow you to store your everyday carry essentials with ease, and the snap front closure further keeps out water and wind.

Consider the on-sale, tough-as-can-be Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket a fine casual outerwear move for days and nights on the go — particularly with Huckberry stretch chinos and perhaps lug-sole Chelsea boots for added traction. Go forth and pick up the Relwen Quilted Tanker Jacket on sale while this deal sticks around (again, through February 6th!).

See Now, Buy Now: The Proof Rover Pants from Huckberry are A Must-Have for Your Next Trip

What do you value when hitting the road in terms of style and performance? And comfort, for that matter? Is it possible to strike a balance between the two, whether trekking far afield or staying a bit closer to home? With the Proof Rover Pants from Huckberry, my friends, the answer when it comes to striking the perfect balance is a resounding “yes.”

In m experience, the Proof Rover Pants are about as durable and dependable as it gets, boasting the stretch canvas fabric of workwear pants with the cut of a five-pocket pant. And the Proof Rover EDC Pants go a step further, bolstering the performance-plus-rugged-appeal nature of the Proof lineup at Huckberry even further. What sets the Proof Rover EDC Pants apart from your typical pair of cargo pants or work pants?

It’s got to be the pockets, my friends. The Proof Rover EDC Pants feature an astounding eight pockets for your everyday carry essentials, yet the design is such that these pockets are streamlined while staying effective (unlike the billowy cargo pants of days gone by).

In fact, the Proof Rover EDC Pants are more like modern adventure pants, featuring a lightweight cotton-blend fabric that’s also been pigment-dyed — that means your new favorite travel pants wear in like denim while staying abrasion-resistant yet comfortable.

The term “laundry” when it comes to features is an apt one with the Proof Rover EDC Pants, and there’s even better news: You can score a 50 percent discount on some of the best travel style for guys when you dive into these pants at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale (now through February 6th, my friends).

And about those pockets. You’ll find pockets for keys, a card case, additional items like a multi-tool and more. Some pockets on these durable workwear pants boast zippers for security, and some are built like patch pockets for easy access.

Either way, the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale provides the chance to scoop up some of the best pants for men at a discount. With all the bells and whistles you’re getting in a pair of the Proof Rover EDC Pants (including a range of versatile color options), you very well might want to book a trip just so you can break ’em out.

Style Pick of the Week: Wills Classic Cashmere Sweater at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale

Best sweaters for men.

At times, the best style essentials for men are ones that are subtly stylish on the surface, yet even more well-made the deeper you dive in. That certainly holds true for menswear wardrobe selections from Huckberry, a longtime favorite retailer of mine (and yours, if you happen to read this Brooklyn style blog on the regular). Take, for instance, the Wills Classic Cashmere Sweater as shown above.

Learn more now at Huckberry

It’s a straightfoward selection that lives up to its name, and then some, using classic cashmere construction for a luxe finish. That is to say, don’t sleep on it, however.

And while its crewneck design is relatively simple, it’s as easily wearable atop a soft cotton long-sleeve tee as it is with a crisp Oxford shirt.

How’s that for versatility and quality? That doesn’t even take into account the range of neutral, easy-to-style colors in which you’ll find the Wills Classic Cashmere Sweater — and the best part is, it’s also a surprisingly affordable style find that offers wearability seven days a week, from the office to happy hour to date night (and beyond).

The Wills Classic Cashmere Sweater is also billed by Huckberry as boasting the “ideal midweight,” the sort of sweater “you can wear…. no matter the weather.” I see this stylish cashmere sweater for men as being an essential selection in situations more dressy — like a date night, perhaps alongside corduroy trousers — or more casual (as with dark blue denim and rugged leather Chelsea boots from a trusted brand like Ariat).

Shop men’s sweaters and more at Huckberry

Better still is the fact that the Wills Classic Cashmere Sweater is on sale right now (marked down below $120) at the Huckberry Annual Winter Sale (more on that on this blog in the days to come).

For now, just know that this sweater is a crisp, essential modern classic that wears well in plenty of style situations — and you’re saving yourself a few bucks in the process as you upgrade your wardrobe, my friends. Cheers to savings and style in spades.

The Thursday Buy: This Flint and Tinder Waxed Jacket is an On-Sale Style Steal at Huckberry

When the going gets tough, when frigid winter weather rolls into town, the truly tough wear Huckberry gear and menswear. At least, that’s what I tend to say, and tend to reach for in my personal wardrobe, and perhaps you’re of the same opinion. That’s what makes it so much fun — yes, fun! — to shop for staple selections like one of the best waxed jackets for men.

Learn more now at Huckberry

And when that particular selection happens to be on sale via the Huckberry Winter Sale right now, that’s all the better, is it not? Yes indeed, the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket falls right in line with the San Francisco and Austin-based company’s ethos of rugged Americana and adventure gear.

Even better still is the fact that right now, it’s marked down to below $200. Yes, that’s right: One of the best jackets for men, period, is $200 off — and in a range of sizes and classic colors, like the handsome Charcoal option shown above.

In matters of durability, toughness and style, the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket checks all he proper boxes, as one would expect from the famed retailer’s Flint and Tinder line. The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket is made in the USA, lending it an extra level of care and attention to detail, while the 10oz. waxed canvas exterior is sturdy, tough and made to get better with age.

Flint and Tinder review.

The Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket also boasts an ultra-warm flannel lining, while the jacket itself also features 4oz. of insulation for added warmth. It’s a tough-as-nails jacket fit for work or play, from brisk mornings in the fields to nights at the dive bar.

Plus, as our friends at Huckberry note, this jacket features a “re-waxable exterior for a lifetime of water-resistance.” How’s that for a jacket you can depend on for seasons to come? If I were you, I’d scoop up the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Ranch Jacket as soon as possible.

Best hoodies for men.

In my experience, looking for style staples needn’t be too complicated — or rather, sometimes, you just want a sturdy, reliable, hard-working and yet casual look, perhaps one anchored by one of the best men’s hoodies. It’s a simple sportswear selection made modern when done the right way, as you can see above with the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Collection at Huckberry.

The classic hoodie has morphed over the years into a piece that can be casually layered and worn in situations far from the gym. For instance, you can team your new Flint and Tinder hoodie with a rugged waxed trucker jacket, underneath a denim jacket or a field coat, or wear it as a trusty, comfortable all-day travel essential.

Huckberry also recommends styling this reliable new hoodie in classic sportswear fashion, as with joggers and canvas sneakers — weekend coffee runs have never looked so stylish, at least in my experience.

Sturdy loopback cotton gets a garment-washed treatment for softness and comfort right out of the box, while the new Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie boasts a durable, dependable design. Features like a double-layer hood and double-layer cuffs see to that sturdiness, while its kangaroo pouch is a staple found on the best hooded sweatshirts for men.

True to form, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie comes in a range of classic, casual colors, including a sporty shade of heathered grey and even an eye-catching deep green.

Best men's hoodies.

While the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie might seem simple on the surface, it’s built with the kind of durable details that make a big difference when it comes to casual sportswear — made for the gym, the open road and well beyond.

The Thursday Buy: These Sperry x Huckberry Chukka Boots are A Rugged Update to a Classic

Huckberry x Sperry chukka boots.

If you thought it was nearly impossible to improve upon the best men’s style classics, think again. The humble chukka boot has a storied heritage all its own, as does American footwear maker Sperry, innovators of styles like the boat shoe and of course, the Sperry AO Chukka. So, what does one get Huckberry and Sperry team up on a refresh to an iconic fan favorite?

Shop new winter gear at Huckberry

Well, the answer is pretty clear right up front with the new Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots, a meeting of the minds that blends history, rugged appeal and a few fresh, revamped touches in one stylish pair of men’s boots.

Huckberry, everyone’s favorite adventure-and-Americana retailer, with a healthy respect for timeless styles (like Sperry boat shoes), says that the AO Chukka goes one step further in terms of style, sensibility and even performance.

Sperry x Huckberry boat shoes.

In fact, one of the best online retailers for men says that the Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots take “everything you know and love about a boat shoe—like the hardwearing, water-resistant leather uppers and ultimate-gripping outsoles—and combines it with the easy styling of a chukka.”

Sperry chukka boots for men.

That’s not a bad look for your footwear rotation this season and well beyond, right? No doubt about it. The handsome Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots get plenty of things right when it comes to the details and their design, including collaborative detailing inside the heel and on the tongue.

There’s a laundry list of features to love, including rich full-grain leather throughout — the kind that’ll develop a handsome patina over time — as well as the use of traction-friendly Razor-Cut Wave-Siping technology for grip on slick streets in winter, spring and, well, just about any season. Of course, rawhide laces and contrast stitching throughout, just like you’d find on classic moccasins, drive home the craftsmanship and timeless appeal of the new Sperry x Huckberry AO Chukka Boots.

What’s even better still is the fact that they’re up for grabs for under $200, and there are plenty of sizes to be had when it comes to your new favorite chukka boots.

Style Pick of the Week: The Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection – Modern, Made-in-America Must-Haves

There’s something to be said for menswear brands that feel modern and of the moment, while at the same time delivering a sense of classic style, the kind that’s rarely ever out of place. Of course, you’ll find those sorts of menswear essentials in spades at fan-favorite Americana-adventure retailer Huckberry, assuredly one of the best online style brands for guys – and a personal favorite.

Shop the best gear for guys at Huckberry

So when the good folks at Huckberry and Flint and Tinder — the company’s flagship in-house line — put their heads together on a new, made-in-Texas collection, the results are absolutely worth checking out ASAP.

My friends, meet the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection, a tightly curated, ridiculously well-made trio of Western workwear style picks perfectly suited for the moment at hand.

After all, everything Western seems to be a growing trend in menswear, but Flint and Tinder doesn’t feel like a bandwagon hopper — the brand does things the right way, with quality and rugged appeal top of mind. The Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection is an outstanding example of top-notch craftsmanship, endlessly cool style points and a nod to Western heritage, done the Huckberry way.

From the richly crafted Waxy Kudo Roper Boots to a line of Flint and Tinder Reserve Denim (crafted from best-in-class selvedge cotton), the new offering is a stellar study in craft, hard work and attention to detail (four different types of selvedge denim certainly nod to that approach).

Shop men’s denim and more at Huckberry

The great news is, a tough and hard-working pair of selvedge denim pairs up expertly with Western-style boots, along with F&T staples like a handsome roughout trucker jacket or a durable Western denim shirt.

And as Huckberry says of its boot partnership in this collection with famed bootmakers Rios of Mercedes, the family-owned company boasts “rich history that lends itself quite nicely to what the company calls “a one-of-a-kind roper boot.”

And when it comes to the jeans on offer within the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection, you’ve got your pick from a deep inky black pair of selvedge to classic shade of Khaki and Olive. Each pair of some of the best jeans for men boast a hard-wearing, break-in-ready 13-oz. Japanese fabric that’s also woven on antique shuttle looms — in Texas, of course.

Best selvedge denim for men.

A YKK zipper, hand-numbered labels and sturdy hardware deliver a tough finish and long-lasting wearability, as you’ve come to expect from Hukberry. The bottom hems feature a real selvedge finish, the kind you can show off when cuffing your jeans.

Between the incredibly well-made, frankly beautiful roper boots and a selection of old-school selvedge denim, it looks to me like the Flint and Tinder Texas Reserve Collection hits the mark on the head when it comes to both the old-world and the modern — get your pair of boots (or jeans!) while they’re still in stock.
