See Now, Buy Now: This American-Made Flint and Tinder T-Shirt is the Perfect Casual Spring Style Move

Best casual T-shirt for men.

I tend to say sometimes here at your favorite Brooklyn style blog that they don’t make ’em like they used to, unless, of course, we’re talking about the best menswear from Huckberry. The retailer, which specializes in the classics made modern, all in rugged-yet-versatile fashion that’s geared for adventure, still hones in on what makes iconic styles great.

And in the case of the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt, that just so happens to mean that they’re making this subtly stylish, versatile men’s T-shirt in the United States from premium materials.

In this instance, that means they’re using garment-dyed slub cotton jersey fabric for a soft touch and soft finish, whether layered up underneath your favorite chambray shirt, worn beneath one of the best denim trucker jackets or styled all on its own with breezy chino shorts.

Huckberry notes that the use of slub cotton jersey fabric gives the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt some weight, durability and texture, and it should prove the kind of T-shirt that doesn’t lose its shape over time. The chest pocket on the aptly named Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt also gives it a touch of subtle style — it makes this classic T-shirt look less like an undershirt, and much more like a casually cool T-shirt you can wear all on its own.

And especially when paired with rolled light wash denim and suede chukka boots, the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt is going to prove an expert laidback style move. It also comes in a range of colors and sizes, and Flint and Tinder’s fit should prove flattering without being too baggy or too tight.

It’s precisely what you want in one of the best T-shirts for men, especially one of the best American-made T-shirts. And since they just don’t make ’em like they used to anymore, it’s worth securing the Flint and Tinder Vintage Slub Pocket T-Shirt while you’ve got the chance this spring.

The Friday Read: The Best Spring Rain Jackets, The Best Socks for Your Favorite Boots and New Spring Menswear at Huckberry

If you ask me, things are really looking up in terms of spring menswear, plentiful spring style points and new essentials aplenty for your wardrobe. Just take the Huckberry Spring Preview for instance, especially as we roll into another lovely spring weekend.

Huckberry spring menswear 2024.

You’ll find that your favorite retailer stocks a bit of everything to get you from point A to point B, be it lightweight spring sweaters, stylish and breezy buttondown shirting, durable-yet-stretchy chinos and denim and of course, an array of rugged, handsome leather boots.

The shot above is but, well, a preview of all of that, with much more to come. Yes indeed, if I were you, I’d dive into the Huckberry Spring Preview ASAP to refresh my wardrobe for the season ahead.

That spring wardrobe refresh is certainly on my mind, but not before yet another getaway for the season from New York City. For as much as I love the Big Apple, I look forward to quality family time down in Florida — and in this case, it’s bookended by a spring Caribbean getaway (starting today!) to the lush, tranquil confines of Turks and Caicos!

You can follow along with all the fun on my Instagram, but it’s proven as great a place as any to go for a family getaway these past few years. The occasion? This time, my dad’s birthday — again, keep up with all the fun (and my spring break style tips!) over on Instagram. For now, here are a few additional spring style reads to get your weekend rolling the right way.

  • I’m all about being prepared for whatever spring throws your way, especially when it comes to blustery, breezy and rainy weather. The right tools for the job tend to start coming in handy as soon as you come out the door, and that’s no more true than with one of the best spring rain jackets (like the picks above from AskMen). And with all that being said, you should certainly head over to that esteemed site to check out my seasonal picks. Happy shopping and layering, folks.
  • We talked above about the essential nature of rugged, versatile gear found within the Huckberry Spring Preview, so let’s double down: The tough waxed jacket shown above hails from Flint and Tinder, and it’s among my most essential style picks this week (and for this season in general). So, consider this my wholehearted endorsement to shop the Flint and Tinder American-Made Waxed Mill Jacket for prime seasonal layering (and read this blog post for more insight). Cheers, my friends.
  • Here’s one more style pick for your weekend (before tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week feature, as regularly scheduled for Saturday, that is). The most durable, hard-wearing spring boots in your rotation — for spring day hikes, weekends away and beyond — deserve the best boot socks, right? The right pair of socks make all the difference, delivering a secure fit, comfort and even warmth on especially breezy spring days, and you can check out my selections for the best boot socks for men over at, well, AskMen.

That’ll wrap up today’s (moderately) deep dive in the world of menswear, with a special focus on the most useful spring style essentials for the days and weeks ahead. Have any brands you’d like to see on the blog? Be sure to let me know in the comments below. Cheers and here’s to a stylish spring weekend!

The Tuesday Steal: This American-Made Flint and Tinder Jacket Is Almost 20 Percent Off Right Now

Best waxed jackets for men.

Utility and durability are the name of the game when it comes to your spring style essentials, especially the sort of gear you’re going to need on blustery, sometimes brisk and rainy days. Look no further, of course, than Flint and Tinder, the reliable-as-ever, rugged-as-can-be in-house brand at Huckberry.

And if you can find that gear at an outstanding deal, as with the Flint and Tinder American-Made Waxed Mill Jacket shown above? That’s all the better and indeed, that’s the name of the game today. Better still is the fact that your new favorite spring workwear jacket is just about 20 percent off via your favorite retailer.

It’s all the better that the rugged, hard-wearing Flint and Tinder American-Made Waxed Mill Jacket carries on the brand’s legacy of some of the toughest waxed jackets on the market. And crucially, this jacket gets all the details right, as you’d expect from Huckberry and Flint and Tinder, of course.

Let’s start with the fact that it boasts lightweight, supple yet durable British Millerain Tekwax Evolution 6 fabric for a weather-ready finish. And then, there’s the fact that the fabric itself should develop a handsome patina while getting better with age on the outside. On the inside, the quilted interior lining provides warmth when layered over everything from a pocket T-shirt to your favorite henley.

Best waxed jackets for men to wear this spring.

And as the name itself calls out, the Flint and Tinder American-Made Waxed Mill Jacket is crafted in Los Angeles from durable, exceptionally rugged fabric, complete with finishing touches like a corduroy collar and lined cuffs for comfort.

Use the hip pockets or the zip chest pocket for your everyday carry, and get ready to love the fact that this handsome American-made jacket can be yours for one heck of a deal right (try under $240 on sale at Huckberry). Happy spring layering, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Huckberry x Danner Mountain Moc Boots Are Perfect for Early Spring

Huckberry x Danner boots.

‘Tis the season to…lace ’em up some of the best new boots for men and get out there, is it not? That’s certainly the case in my neck of the woods, and in my experience, you know exactly where to go to give your footwear game a refresh. Of course, that would be Huckberry, a longtime favorite and a retailer that knows that gear gets the job done.

And fittingly enough, they’ve once again teamed up with Danner for a new Huckberry x Danner collaboration that might be the coolest yet between the heritage bootmaker and everyone’s favorite rugged, versatile gear retailer. You very well might remember the Huckberry x Danner Vertigo 917 Gold Rush Boots, which fused sporty appeal and sneakerboot style with a hiking boot silhouette, but the latest and greatest ups the ante even further.

Best moc toe boots for men.

The Huckberry x Danner 917 Mountain Moc Boots fuse the best of the past with the best of the present, and that’s an understatement. These boots draw inspiration from Danner’s 1960s moc toe boots, but they’re then brought forward into the 21st century with a durable, springy Vibram outsole and a GORE-TEX liner.

They also boast handsome accents of brown leather alongside suede, with three-eyelet moc toe construction for casually cool, rugged appeal — whether paired with stretch light wash jeans or olive chinos from Huckberry.

Those both translate to durability, comfort and plenty of cushioning, plus a stay-dry quality that spring demands when it comes to the best boots for men. It’s a hybrid style with the best qualities of a moc toe boot, as well as a sneakerboot, and that’s something your footwear wardrobe could surely use this spring. Remember, the Huckberry x Danner 917 Mountain Moc Boots are a limited-edition offering, and if they’re anything like past Huckberry x Danner collabs, they’re sure to sell out sooner rather than later.

The Sunday Sale: Shop and Save Big on This Rugged Huckberry x Zodiac Dive Watch

We’re back in action here on The Style Guide, and spotlighting a stellar deal on one of the best watches for men, to boot. A rugged dive watch can be both a “beater watch” and an investment piece, and in the case of the Huckberry x Zodiac Titanium Dive Watch, it’s a bit of both.

Of course, it’s a Huckberry exclusive, and the great news is, you can get your new favorite dive watch for 15 percent off at checkout, no other bells and whistles required today.

The Huckberry x Zodiac Titanium Dive Watch carries on the Zodiac legacy of tough-as-nails dive watches, and this one is made from marine-grade titanium, with 200 meters of water resistance. Marine-grade titanium, in fact, is two times as light as stainless steel, and the 26-jewel Swiss-made STP 1-21 caliber automatic movement also boasts a rather impressive 44-hour power reserve.

In short, the Huckberry x Zodiac Titanium Dive Watch is hard-wearing and rugged as heck, with a striking blue dial and plenty of toughness built right in. And yes, again, it’s 15 percent off at checkout, and it belongs on your wrist ASAP.

The Thursday Buy: The Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt Is Your New Favorite Workshirt for Spring

When it comes time to welcome a new season, sometimes, it’s about getting back to work — literally and figuratively, be it spring cleaning, an early season road trip or a day in the yard (or at the bar). And as one might expect, there are plenty of menswear essentials from Huckberry to help you in all of those pursuits. In my experience, the retailer gets better with each passing season, and that certainly goes for the rugged Americana menswear of Flint and Tinder.

Naturally, you know the brand for its hard-wearing waxed jackets, comfortable stretch denim and classic everyday chinos, but the Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt takes things a step further.

As Huckberry rightly notes, chambray fabric — with its woven, interlocking white-and-blue fibers and tough, durable construction — has been a part of classic workwear pieces dating back a century (at least). The San Francisco and Austin-based retailer also notes that, well, “You can’t talk about workwear without talking about chambray shirts.”

Best chambray shirt for men.

They’re right on the money with that take, and the Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt, with 100 percent cotton construction in a breathable yet durable 5.5oz. weight, works well on its own or layered up with your favorite T-shirt on a breezy spring day.

Two button-front chest pockets (including one with a pen or tool slot) add an air of hard-working utility to the aptly named Flint and Tinder Chambray Utility Shirt, which also comes in a cool-as-can-be Natural Seeded Chambray color. Either way, it’s a hard-working option fit for whatever spring throws at you this season.

See Now, Buy Now: Huckberry Just Teamed Up with Aaron Levine on Some of the Best American-Made Menswear Around

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit.

When looking for the best menswear essentials to round out my style rotation on the daily, I tend to look for relatable, reliable pieces (yes, relatable and reliable!) from sources I can trust — this you know well if you’ve read the blog on the regular, and Huckberry certainly qualifies.

The rugged-meets-refined retailer has certainly set a high bar to clear, which is what makes the San Fran and Austin-based brand so impressive in its latest meeting of the minds. My friends, get ready to meet Trumbull Detroit, a new collaboration between Huckberry and lauded menswear designer and expert Aaron Levine.

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit

If that name sounds familiar, there’s plenty of good reason behind that: Levine was the menswear mind behind Club Monaco, masters of accessible tailoring and sportswear, as well as the resurgence of Abercrombie and Fitch across the past decade.

And now, he’s back at it again, teaming up with Huckberry on Trumbull Detroit, a line of stylish, vintage-inspired sportswear that arrives just in time for early spring. The line focuses on classic Americana styles, including one of the best hoodies for men, a classic crewneck sweatshirt in a vintage wash, a super-soft vintage wash T-shirt and even a casually cool quarter-zip sweater.

The Trumbull Detroit line might seem simple enough on the surface, but it’s packed with some of the best casual style picks for men this spring, particularly for weekend lounging, morning coffee runs, cozy weekends away and, well, the list goes on and on.

Garment-dyed 100 percent USA-grown cotton runs throughout the line, but what’s even more impressive is the fact that Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit is made the old-school way — in the U.S.A., and as the name would imply, in Detroit itself.

Best USA-made hooded sweatshirt for men.

They don’t quite make menswear like this anymore, with a pleasing range of casual, effortlessly cool silhouettes, high-quality fabrication and of course, USA-made construction. That naturally means these pieces are pricier than average ($148 for a Trumbull Detroit hoodie, for instance), but between the soft fleece, durable fabric and made-in-America construction, it’s an investment that should certainly pay off.

When you want the best of the best, with an eye for detail, classic design and that key mix of reliability and relatability, turn now towards Trumbull Detroit and your friends at Huckberry — they won’t let you down.

The Friday Read: New Workwear from Huckberry, A New Glenlivet Scotch & Stylish Converse Sneakers

Flint and Tinder workwear review.

It’s hard to believe it’s already March 1st, is it not? The year is flying by in leaps and bounds, from my Brooklyn birthday weekend to NYFW to some exciting March travel plans on the horizon (more on those to follow in the weeks ahead on my Instagram!).

There’s plenty in store, and naturally, I plan to take it on in style, specifically with a few choice pieces from Huckberry and the new Flint and Tinder Workwear Collection. If you read the blog on the regular, you’re no stranger to the famed in-house brand at Huckberry, which looks to the past — silhouettes like trucker jackets, chambray shirts and classic blue jeans — to update rugged gear for the modern man.

Flint and Tinder workwear review.

And the new workwear line is packed with some seriously cool (new and old) favorites, from a flannel-lined denim trucker jacket to corduroy mill pants, one of the best chambray workshirts and even a handsome quilted Western shirt that’s worth your time and hard-earned cash.

The Flint and Tinder Workwear Collection is just one of the fine finds I’ve had my eye on this week as I cover the worlds of menswear, spirits and more. Here are a few other tips to animate your weekend in fine fashion, my friends.

  • If you read the blog or follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I’m also deeply interested in the world of fine Scotch (and bourbon, of course), but Scotch is my pick today. Over at Maxim, I wrote about a curious experiment in the world of Scotch: The Glenlivet deconstructed, and then put back together, bourbon and rum casks to finish its legendary Scotch, and the results were exceedingly delicious. Head to Maxim for the full rundown.
  • What’s in your sneaker rotation lately? As we inch ever closer toward spring, it might be time to think about dusting off some fresh kicks. And basketball fans have a new option (also covered by yours truly at Maxim!) — that’d be the reintroduced, revamped Converse Weapon, a high-top style (with a new low-top edition) famously worn by Larry Bird. Check out the rundown over at Maxim.
  • Here’s one more tip for your reading and shopping pleasure this weekend. As you know, I can’t get enough of a great deal on some of the best menswear, especially designer menswear from Billy Reid. That’s precisely why you should dive into this post covering the Billy Reid End of Season Sale, which offers a slew of deals on plenty of refined essentials and daily must-haves. Those savings are yours for the taking, my friends.

That’s going to wrap up today’s post covering the best menswear to read about and shop this weekend, my friends. Any questions or comments? Feel free to swing back through tomorrow for our Style Pick of the Week, where we’ll keep things rolling all weekend long with style in mind. Cheers, folks!

See Now, Buy Now: The Proof Rover Pants are As Versatile and Travel-Ready As It Gets

Best men's work pants from Huckberry

It can be tough to find a pair of the best men’s pants that really, truly suit all your style needs and daily pursuits. Is there a pair of pants that checks every box, from work to play, from the office to the farmer’s market to a park stroll… and back? That’s a high bar to clear, but the Proof Rover Pants from my friends at Huckberry just might fit the bill.

Now, it’s not the first time I’ve reviewed the Proof Rover Pants, but I think you’ll find the latest and greatest rugged yet stylish pair of pants are even more improved than ever.

They blend the durable appeal of a pair of stretch canvas work pants with the five-pocket cut of jeans, and while they’re a touch more rugged than, say, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, they’re no less versatile for the demands of your daily grind. A guy’s wardrobe demands options, after all, be it the reliability of dark blue jeans at the office or happy hour, or the crisp cut of stretch cotton chinos or, yes, the do-it-all nature of the Proof Rover Pants.

Best men's adventure pants.

The key with the latest iteration of the Proof Rover Pants? It starts with the use of a breathable, durable engineered cotton-blend fabric that moves with you and incorporates sustainable REPREVE TruTemp stretch polyester fabric. In my experience, that gives the Proof Rover Pants the right amount of stretch and breathability, which just might make them the best travel pants — as well as the best, polished and durable adventure pants.

If you’ve tried the Proof Rover Pants before, as I have, just know that they feel softer and more stretchy to the touch, and they’re lightweight without being flimsy, as well.

The Proof Rover Pants also have the right amount of stretch and style points to look ready and stylish enough for a more casual office, with three streamlined fit options (Slim, Straight and Athletic Tapered) adding to their versatile appeal. In my experience, the Athletic Tapered cut provides a nice amount of room to move for my frame.

And with the Proof Rover Pants — no matter if you’re scaling mountains or hopping on a flight — you’re getting versatile, rich color options (three, to be exact), which you can also pair seamlessly with other pieces of the best travel gear from Proof at Huckberry. Too good to be true? Certainly not, which is why a pair or two belong in your wardrobe ASAP.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 50 Percent On these Best-Selling Huckberry Slipper Boots for Winter

Best men's slippers for winter.

Perhaps you, like me, have a tried-and-true rotation of men’s winter style essentials, from cozy sweatpants to a trusty cardigan to wear at home — and perhaps they happen to hail from a retailer like Huckberry. The brand just knows what guys want, from rugged gear ready for the field (like its waxed trucker jacket from Flint and Tinder) to laidback, easygoing weekend style essentials.

Or in the case of these increasingly casual times, those “weekend” style essentials now might extend to weekday hours working from home. And thus, enter the Greys Wool Outdoor Slipper Boots. Helpfully, some of the coziest, coolest and most stylish slippers on the market are now more than 50 percent off via the Huckberry Sale section.

And yes, I did indeed say stylish, since my personal opinion is that dressing well can extend in plenty of different directions — beyond just stepping out for a day at the office or date night. That goes for the casually cool T-shirt you might wear on a Zoom call, as well as the comfortable yet cool-looking slippers you slide into on the daily (yes, the details make a difference, folks!).

Best winter slippers for men.

When you’re welcoming guests over, when you’re lounging or when you’re stepping outside to refresh that winter fire, the Greys Slipper Boots are going to come in mighty handy. The wool blend fabric is exceedingly soft, comfortable and yet breathable, but it’s the added details — like a handsome leather pull heel tab and a soft but supple rubber sole — that make the difference.

And the great news is, your new favorite slippers (or are they boots?) are now on sale for 50 percent off at Huckberry. Plus, the silhouette is streamlined and modern, and the color options are versatile to pair up with just about any pair of your favorite tapered sweatpants. The details make the difference, as you’ll find out when saving on (and stepping into) your new go-to pair of stylish winter slippers.
