See Now, Buy Now: This Flint and Tinder Quarter Zip Sweater is the Casually Rugged Layer You Need This Winter

First off, my friends: Happy New Year once again, and thanks for joining me as I talk about winter style essentials aplenty to start the new year. Let’s hone in on one casually rugged must-have to add to your seasonal wardrobe ASAP, though. You’ll find it, of course, at Huckberry, the San Francisco and Austin-based retailer of some of the most rugged, versatile menswear and gear on the market.

And for all those times when you’re in need of stylish seasonal basics, yet don’t want to drop too much cash for something that’s difficult to wear, well, that’s when Huckberry enters the equation. This is where the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip enters the equation: It’s an accessible basic that’s actually not so basic: It’s rugged, it’s visually appealing and it’s just plain cool.

And while quarter zip sweaters might normally seem like the type of sporty style you’d wear golfing, there’s a time and a place for one of the best quarter zip sweaters, particularly one crafted by Huckberry’s own Flint and Tinder.

It’s, of course, the details big and small that make the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip so much more than just your average quarter-zip, starting with the thick, ribbed-knit design with flecked detailing for plenty of warmth and visual interest. The blend of lambswool and nylon also adds a sturdy yet easily wearable appeal, whether styled atop your favorite henley or one of the best Oxford shirts on the market.

But perhaps the most notable, refined-yet-rugged part of the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip? That would be the waxed cotton elbow patches, a durable touch that turns this sweater into one you can wear as a top layer or mid-layer during winter adventures far afield (or closer to home, fetching more firewood or picking up a growler from your favorite brewery).

Yes indeed, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip can really do it all, be it as a casual sweater to wear with the best blue jeans or as a visually appealing, unique sweater for Casual Friday this winter (seriously). Plus, the raglan-style sleeves on the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip broaden your shoulders while offering range of movement, and snug ribbed cuffs provide a secure fit as you layer this stylish quarter zip sweater all winter long.

Last but not least, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip comes in cool color options aplenty, be it rich Burgundy, Light Grey or crisp Navy. The next time you want a durable, versatile sweater that’s anything but basic, be sure you’re rocking this seriously cool Huckberry sweater.

The Friday Read: Cheers to 2023 & A Thank You From Brooklyn

My friends, it seems like just days ago I was clocked in and talking to you about starting 2022 in style — and yet, now we sit on the verge of 2023. How about that, ehh? It was a momentous year for The Style Guide, if I do say so myself, with a daily publishing schedule and plenty of opportunity to spotlight favorite brands and retailers, be it Todd Snyder or Billy Reid or Buck Mason — the list goes on, of course.

Through it all, throughout another full calendar year of freelance writing pursuits & world travels via my Instagram, consider this a heartfelt, deep and true THANK YOU for your support of The Style Guide!

I launched this blog way back in 2013 in my college bedroom with a desire to better understand the basics of versatile, everyday menswear — from denim to boots to Oxford shirts — and along the way, I hoped to perhaps impact a few fellow readers who felt the same about great style. My blog helped me dive into the world of fashion, land fashion PR internships and fashion PR agency jobs, and eventually, build a freelance career doing what I truly love. If that sounds a bit too simple, well, trust me when I say I can’t quite believe it either… most days, at least.

And on that note: Thank you for reading and for engaging with my work! If this blog has helped you improve your wardrobe in any way, large or small, that’s more than I could ever ask for… and I mean that sincerely!

Of course, there’s still one more 2022 headed your way tomorrow (my weekend Style Pick, naturally). In the meantime, perhaps you’ve got your mind set on stepping into a new year in style with on-sale menswear from Taylor Stitch or else the Huckberry See You Out There Sale — I can vouch for both, trust me on that. Either of those sales are more than worth your time, and perhaps even worth a toast of coveted Pappy Van Winkle whiskey to ring in 2023.

In fact, I wish I myself could raise a glass of the good stuff to the devoted readers of this small Brooklyn blog — I don’t have any Pappy in my home bar cart, but consider this a toast all the same. From me to you: Happy New Year, cheers to good health, great times and great style, and we’ll see you… next year!

You know what that means: It’s time to shop early and often for the best menswear and gear deals on the market from your favorite online retailer. Good luck, and happy holidays!

The Thursday Buy: The Newest Huckberry All-Weather Duckboots Are the Best Men’s Winter Boots to Buy Now

If recent weather around the country is any indication, you’re going to need a pair of the best men’s winter boots close at hand, and quickly. We’ve only just now Thanksgiving (thanks for reading on this day, my friends!), but it’s perhaps more critical than ever that you lace up a pair of the best boots for men. That goes doubly so for a pair of the best new winter boots from Huckberry. Or rather, well, these boots aren’t exactly brand-new, but they’re a fan favorite design you’d do well to add to your winter wardrobe.

I’m talking, naturally, about the All-Weather Duckboots, once again restocked alongside a full rotation of the best boots for men, just in time for inclement weather. We’ve talked about Huckberry duckboots in the past on the blog, but it’s always worth a reminder — particularly when the pair in question comes in a cool new Tan and Brown color scheme. Think of them like just a small part of the best Black Friday 2022 style deals, but a critical one all the same.

The well-made, extremely cool All-Weather Duckboots hit all the right design notes, from the hybrid sneaker-meets-boot build to the tough rubberized rand that protects your feet from slushy inclement weather all day long (and yes, in all types of weather). The All-Weather Duckboots also use waterproof nubuck and full-grain leather for the perfect blend of style and utility, while the Vibram outsole is super-grippy and dependable.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the All-Weather Duckboots are pretty stylish as far as the best winter boots for men are concerned, what with that rugged Tan and Brown color scheme up for grabs. Plus, the All-Weather Duckboots sit atop an EVA midsole for springy comfort on slick, rocky terrain.

If you’re searching for a pair of the best adventure boots, or just a set of the best men’s winter boots for your commute and adventures in the field, don’t pass up the All-Weather Duckboots. Thanks for reading and thanks for trusting The Style Guide with your wardrobe selections — Happy Thanksgiving!

And yet, today’s Tuesday Steal is extra-special for that very reason: The fine folks at Huckberry are running the second of two days of discounts on its best-selling waxed trucker jacket, the sort of deal that doesn’t come around very often at all.

That means, long story short, you’ll want to act now (the promo ends today!) to take $50 off the Flint and Tinder Flannel Trucker Jacket, which knocks this rugged, hard-wearing and utterly classic jacket down to $218 from $268.

Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket review.

Again, consider this a crucial reminder: The iconic Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Trucker is available today only for $50 off. Happy shopping out there, my friends.

The famed San Francisco and Austin retailer and one of the best online shops for men just announced a special deal on its sustainable sweaters from perfectly rugged, expertly crafted in-house brand Wellen, a deal worth shopping right here and right now (as the title of the post would indicate, of course).

Yes, that’s right: You can get 30 percent off for a limited time on the best men’s winter sweaters from Wellen, all as part of the famed Wellen Seawool Collection.

These designs echo old-school, super-warm fisherman sweaters, yet they’re updated with modern materials, making the lineup some of the best sweaters for men through the brisk fall and winter months.

The key is the use of Seawool fabric, which uses recycled plastic bottles and oyster shells to deliver a soft, warm, insulating yet breathable fiber. That fiber is then woven into a classic knit sweater design, one that also incorporates nylon and wool for stretch and warmth as some of the best sweaters for men you’re apt to find right now.

Select from the Wellen Seawool Collection in either a classically rugged cardigan or crewneck sweater, each of which you can wear with picks like your favorite pair of blue jeans all winter long for effortlessly cool style. And remember: These stylish men’s sweaters are 30 percent off right now for a very limited time, so shop accordingly.
