Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket

Best men's waxed jacket for fall.

How do you take a certified style classic like one of the best men’s waxed jackets and make it even better? Well, in the case of my friends at Huckberry, that means updating the already famed Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket with all-new, custom fabric from one of the best waxed jacket makers on the planet.

It might sound too good to be true, but when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket, seeing is believing.

It’s already part of a full rotation of the best waxed jackets for men over at the rugged, ever-versatile retailer, and the Flint and Tinder line is already quite hard to beat. In the case of this jacket, it’s the use of British Millerain Tekwax Evolution 8 weather-resistant waxed canvas that gives it plenty of durability and seasonal performance, especially on brisk fall days.

It can also stand up to chillier weather thanks to the flannel interior lining, but the real difference maker here with the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket is the unique blackwatch plaid pattern. There are also seriously cool color options available in the everyday version of this hunting-inspired jacket, but that plaid pattern is about as rich and stylish as it gets for the season at hand.

Of course, this all doesn’t come cheap, as the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket will set you back about $400 ($398, to be exact).

But given Huckberry’s know-how at finding partners who make the best stuff on the planet (in this case, the best men’s waxed jackets) is something you can trust in, and something that makes it worth the higher price tag. If I were you, I’d add the Flint and Tinder Special Edition Waxed Hudson Jacket to your style rotation ASAP.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent On This Versatile Everyday Shirt from Marine Layer & Huckberry

Marine Layer men's shirts.

As I build out my wardrobe season after season, I tend to look for versatile workhorse pieces that exist in two realms: One, as casual, everyday options (as with my favorite Oxford shirt) and two, picks that can also be dressed up a touch if needed. Those men’s style essentials are of course sold in spades by Huckberry, which is where we kick off today’s Tuesday Steal.

Shop now at Huckberry

And to get more specific, the Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt as seen above qualifies quite nicely as an everyday pick you can style a few different ways. It’s not quite as rugged as one of the best men’s flannel shirts, yet it’s got more texture than a sleek cotton sateen dress shirt that you’d wear to the office.

Yet, add a cotton blazer or one of the best flannel blazers over it, and it’s going to clean up quite nicely indeed. Oh, and the real kicker here? It’s on sale for 20 percent off via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section.

The Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt is also unique in its construction: Whereas styles like the Oxford shirt are made with 100 percent cotton Oxford fabric, this more easygoing buttondown shirt is made from a lightweight blend of cotton and TENCEL.

That means it’s not as hearty as a flannel shirt jacket, so you’ll need to layer up the Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt on especially cold days. But for the price, and for 20 percent off, the crisply cut, stylish and versatile Marine Layer Theo Texture Shirt seems like a downright steal. Go forth accordingly, my friends.

When the hour draws nigh to layer up in perfectly rugged style, you need the right pieces at hand, which certainly applies for plenty of the best fall style essentials from the fine purveyors at Huckberry. Of course, if you pass through the pages of this blog on the regular, you’re no stranger to the San Francisco and Austin-based brand’s penchant for stocking and selling adventure-ready gear that pulls its weight in terms of style and utility.

Based in Columbus, Relwen has long been a Huckberry fan favorite, with a focus on old-school classics made modern. That includes everything from the best thermal crewneck shirt to lightweight-yet-warm quilted popovers to durable hybrid blazers and the shirt jacket (or “shacket”) in question today.

Relwen men's shirt jacket review.

The Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket is built with an almost ridiculous amount of wearability for brisk fall weather, finished with a cotton flannel twill exterior that’s then lined with polyester twill and insulated with recycled polyester. Still with me on that? Good, because the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket is as hard-wearing as it gets for fall.

Best fall shirt jacket for men.

It also uses durable spring-snap front-button hardware throughout, which aids in durability and makes it easier to use those buttons in case you’ve added a pair of the best gloves for men to your fall or winter #OOTD. And like other gear picks from Huckberry, the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket doesn’t skimp on style points. These are outfitted with Huckberry-exclusive colorways and contrasting liners, for starters.

It comes in four handsome plaid varieties, each of which would wear well with casually rugged fall style essentials like the best blue jeans for men and the best brown leather boots. All that’s missing is your new favorite henley as a base layer, and you should be all set for whatever fall throws your way. That’s the Huckberry promise, and the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket certainly delivers.

The Sunday Sale: Save On Your New Favorite Retro Corduroy Shirt Today from Huckberry

Coolest corduroy shirt for men to buy now.

Leave it to the fine folks at Huckberry to take a previously stuffy style staple, like corduroy, and somehow make it effortlessly cool. Sure, you very well grew up wearing corduroy, but it likely wasn’t cool in terms of cut, or all that comfortable. It also more commonly came in pant form in my high school and middle school days, but that’s all about to change.

Stylish corduroy shirt for men.

You can now take the guesswork out of finding one of the best shirts for fall at one of the best online menswear shops for guys, since sustainable menswear masters Wellen and Huckberry dreamed up the ideal option for retro-meets-modern style. The even better part is, one of the best corduroy shirts for men is on sale via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section this very instant.

The key is the use of organic cotton corduroy fabric, especially in a medium fine-sized wale, not the overly thick corduroy wale (ridges) of decades past. And while the Wellen Organic Corduroy Button Down Shirt is only for sale right now in one color (the deep tan-hued Beach Comb), it’s a real winner in terms of fall shades.

In my humble opinion, a color like this is practically begging to be worn with one of the best pairs of blue jeans from Huckberry (to name but one fall style essential).

Better still is the fact that the details, including the buttondown collar and chest pocket, mimic classic Oxford shirts, so this shirt can be dressed up slightly at the office or worn casually through plenty of fall and winter weekends. A deal like this on the Wellen Organic Corduroy Button Down Shirt won’t stick around Huckberry’s digital shelves forever, so go forth and shop accordingly today, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s All-American Stretch Denim Are the Perfect Pair of Jeans to Wear All Fall

Flint and Tinder men's denim review.

If you ask me, reliability is about as crucial as anything in curating the perfect menswear wardrobe. Sure, it’s tough to get things right 100 percent of the time, but if you’ve found style staples you can count on in the clutch, that’s half the battle.

Take the always-indispensable blue jean — the five-pocket cotton denim jean is a cornerstone of outfits both rugged and casual, office-friendly and more laidback. And luckily for us all, Huckberry and Flint and Tinder have cornered the market on the best casual everyday jeans.

Yes, that’s a lofty bar to clear, but in my experience, the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans live up to their name — and then some. I’ve had the chance to test out some pairs of Huckberry men’s denim courtesy of the brand lately, and believe me when I say that tried-and-true denimheads need not fear.

To be sure, the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans aren’t made of overly thick, sturdy selvedge denim, the kind preferred by denim obsessives, but they’ve got a true everyday appeal that delivers comfort and classic style in spades.

Shop Huckberry men’s denim now

The Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans do it all minus the break-in time of timeless selvedge jeans — I love the process as much as the next guy, but when you need crisply designed, versatile jeans made to be worn right out of the box, this pair will serve you more than well.

Best men's jeans for fall.

The Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans nail that essential five-pocket design, with fits ranging from Slim to Relaxed in a variety of sizes. The Straight-fit version stands up well to daily wear: They’re still tailored without being overly tight, and I’ve found the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans wear stylishly alongside everything from a pair of the best high-top sneakers to my trusty Red Wing Iron Ranger boots for classically rugged style.

What really sets the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans apart is of course the fabric itself: They come in a range of lightly hand-washed, faded styles for a look that’s lived-in right out of the box. A five percent blend of polyester and spandex boasts more stretch than other pairs of men’s jeans, which isn’t a bad thing (in my humble opinion).

They also come in dark colorways like a vintage overdyed pair, but I’ve found the 1-Year (Medium) Wash to serve my style needs quite well.

And all you denim skeptics out there would do well to give the Flint and Tinder All-American Stretch Jeans a fair shot: They compare more than favorably to other Flint and Tinder denim options, like the Flint and Tinder Everyday Stretch Jeans.

Those jeans boast a more burly, heavier 13.5.oz. denim weight, a nice touch if you prefer your denim with a bit more substance. And yet, that pair also features a hefty amount of stretch and some richly faded, hand-washed color options.

Flint and Tinder Everyday Stretch Denim.

Note that the Flint and Tinder Everyday Stretch Jeans only come in Slim and Straight fits, but like its counterpart, they’re finished off with custom F&T hardware and a durable design. If I had to make it ultra-simple (always the goal here at The Style Guide), I’d say either pair of men’s jeans are reliable, dependable, rugged and classic.

Those traits are exactly what you want in men’s denim you can wear day in and day out. Give ’em a shot at Huckberry (and style them with the brand’s famed waxed trucker jacket), and thank me later, ehh?

See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Thermal Crew Is a Must-Have Casual Layer for Fall

Reliability, if you ask me, tends to be the name of the game when it comes to layering up for fall and winter. In my mind, that means knowing that, say, a certain base layer or sweatshirt is going to get the job done in terms of warmth and rugged style, all without thinking about it too much.

Whether you’re searching for one of the best men’s sweatshirts to wear underneath your favorite trucker jacket, or whether you merely want a cozy, casual layer for fall days at home, Relwen assuredly has you covered with some of the best rugged fall style essentials.

Shop Relwen now at Huckberry

The Ohio-based brand takes a decidedly throwback approach to its highly functional line of menswear, modeling selections off old-school styles worn by the military and hardy outdoorsmen. The Relwen Bi-Waffle Thermal Crew has a touch of both of those categories in its final build, which is precisely the kind of reliability I mentioned earlier. For chilly days and nights, for times when you need a thick yet supple base layer, the Relwen Bi-Waffle Thermal Crew is as solid an option as it gets.

Relwen Thermal Crewneck review.

It’s made from sturdy, waffle-knit pre-shrunk cotton for a snug yet flattering fit, and in my experience with Relwen, the fabric won’t pill or give out on you unexpectedly. That’s true of the rest of the Relwen menswear line, which is the kind of durability I appreciate (and I think you will, as well).

On the surface, this design isn’t overly complicated: Just a darn fine thermal crewneck you can wear as a base layer beneath a puffer vest or your favorite Relwen jacket, to name but two wearing occasions. The bonded collar on the Relwen Bi-Waffle Thermal Crew should retain its shape and secure fit over time, and seamless double cuffs also provide a secure fit.

It’s the rare crewneck that’s substantial enough to wear as you would a traditional crewneck sweatshirt, or else thin enough to rock as a base layer, and the Relwen Bi-Waffle Thermal Crew is going to deliver standout warmth and rugged appeal all the way through. Layer up with it now and well into the months ahead, because it can stand up to anything.
