Style Pick of the Week: Huckberry x Timex Black Max Watch – A Rare and Rugged Wrist Game Upgrade

Huckberry x Timex review.

I’m often on the lookout for the latest and greatest gear, from the coolest new men’s watches to the right pair of leather boots or the perfect henley — or some combination of all of the above, which can readily be worn at the same time (as you well know if you keep up with this blog!).

And so when two respected brands I love come together to craft a rugged watch, you could call it a perfect meeting of the minds, one that makes so much sense, it’s enough to keep you coming back for more — and so it goes with Huckberry x Timex, an ongoing partnership that’s resulted in some highly rugged, hard-wearing watches with plenty of style points.

The latest in the Huckberry x Timex series is no slouch either, to say the very least. The Huckberry x Timex 1979 Black Max, which just debuted yesterday, in fact, takes things to the next level in terms of Huckberry’s penchant for rugged and durable gear, combined with the Timex knack for using historical inspiration to craft wildly useful modern watches.

Available for a limited time only, the Huckberry x Timex 1979 Black Max harkens back to the 1970s and racing watches of the era, bringing back what the famed American watchmaker calls one of its most sought-after vintage collectibles. The meeting of the minds simply couldn’t be more perfect, at least in my book, featuring a bold racing dial and a blacked-out titanium case for plenty of durability.

The Huckberry x Timex 1979 Black Max also features what looks to be a matte-finish stainless steel band to complement its hard-wearing 41mm case. And within, you’ll find a reliable quartz movement, while the crown itself features the Huckberry logo.

It’s yet another sturdy watch from a brand well-known for crafting ’em the right way, and at highly affordable prices, to boot. It’s also priced to sell at just $249, making the new Huckberry x Timex 1979 Black Max a worthy addition to your shopping cart (and your everyday carry) this holiday season.

It’s also suited for adventures off-grid, boasting 100 meters of water resistance — all in a strong, dependable Huckberry-approved design. If I had to guess, I’d say your new favorite adventure watch just might have arrived.

See Now, Buy Now: These Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants are Your New Favorite Style Essential this Season

Best corduroy pants for men.

Perhaps you’ve noticed that as the temperature plummets even further, you need something a little more sturdy in every element of your wardrobe. That goes for your trusty parka as well as your thick-knit flannel shirt and dependable fisherman sweater or shawl cardigan (all of which we’ve covered here on the blog in recent weeks and months!), but what about your rotation of the best pants for men?

While rugged blue jeans and even dressy wool suit trousers and crisp chinos all have their place in your style rotation, it’s sometimes ideal to lean into the charms of the season in terms of texture and style — and that’s where the good folks at Huckberry can help, a fact you well know if you’ve read this Brooklyn men’s style blog from time to time.

Let’s get more specific when it comes to texture and rich craftsmanship: Look to the folks at Flint and Tinder, well-known for the lightweight, effortless dependability of the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants, to effectively winterize your options in terms of the best men’s pants, period.

You see, the best corduroy pants for men toe the line between distinction and dressy appeal, and the versatility that every guy needs — especially when they come in a design that closely mirrors your go-to five-pocket blue jeans or chinos. And the Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants toe that line in crisply cut, stylish, seriously cool fashion — gone are the days of stuffy corduroy pants worn in years past, replaced instead by a handsome tailored cut, rich color options and simply excellent fabric.

Available in fits ranging from Huckberry’s proprietary HB Straight or HB Athletic Tapered, the sharp-as-can-be Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants are your perfect go-between when you want a classier look than casually rugged blue jeans, but want to avoid going as formal as suit trousers.

Best corduroy pants for men.

The Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants boast what Huckberry calls “the perfect amount of stretch,” even featuring a slight taper to the leg in the Straight-cut variety for a clean look and feel. And the five-pocket design is reliable and timeless — as easy to wear with a thermal henley and a chambray shirt as with a wool blazer and a stretch dress shirt.

The Flint and Tinder Corduroy 365 Pants come in four fashionable colors (including my personal favorite, Whiskey, plus the wear-with-anything Taupe and the eye-catching olive hue of Moss). And with garment-dyed fabric, the right amount of stretch and the crisp fit you can count on from the good folks at Huckberry, it might just be a surefire bet that these stylish men’s corduroy pants are the perfect step up from your trusted blue jeans this holiday season (and well beyond).

Astorflex men's shoes review.

If you’ve been keeping up with the flurry of deals rolling through town (and on this style blog) these past few days as part of the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday menswear deals, I’d wager you’ve seen there’s no shortage of options when it comes to savings on the coolest gear for guys. That’s an understatement, right?

And there might not be a retailer doing it better at the moment — in terms of the type of and number of deals, and the categories covered, and the style points included — than our good friends at Huckberry.

The do-it-all-retailer has a penchant for rugged outdoor gear, stylish stretch denim, everyday carry accessories and oh-so-much-more, including curating a tasteful and very sharp lineup of Astorflex men’s shoes. Toss in the fact that Astorflex shoes are on sale for as much as 50 percent off during Huckberry’s Cyber Monday Sale, and you’ve got a certified fashion winner in the works.

Shop the best shoes and gear for men ASAP at Huckberry

The Italian-based company runs its own family-owned factories to make some of the finest chukka boots, Chelsea boots, leather loafers and tasteful slides on the market, each done up with richly crafted leathers, sustainably aged uppers, natural rubber or leather outsoles, and exceptional quality in every stitch. In my experience, it’s remarkable stuff in matters of comfort, construction and quality — but let’s get down to the real business at hand, shall we?

And that business ties back directly to the standout Astorflex men’s shoes sale we mentioned earlier — it’s part of a slew of deals ongoing at Huckberry, but these savings won’t last for long (seriously — today is the last full day!).

There’s a massive variety within the Astorflex lineup, from the tailored yet versatile Astorflex Redflex Derby — as wearable with rolled blue jeans as they are with tobacco-hued chinos — to the rugged yet somewhat sleek Astorflex Bitflex Chelsea Boots (another Astorflex staple, at least in my experience).

You’ll also find a bevy of boat shoes, side-zip boot, textured loafers and even the famous Astorflex Greenflex Chukka Boots for sale at Huckberry’s Cyber Monday Sale.

The Sunday Sale: This Garment-Dyed Blazer from Wills and Huckberry is the Most Versatile Jacket You Can Buy (At a Discount)

I often scour the market for the best men’s clothing deals, as you well know if you read this Brooklyn style blog on the regular. Of course, I frequently check out the digital wares on the (digital) shelves at Huckberry, which is what brings us to today’s Sunday Sale in the midst of a very fine NFL fall Sunday indeed.

And in the midst of an utterly jam-packed holiday season, it’s reassuring to know you can still score a deal on a truly versatile piece of men’s tailoring, like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer shown above.

/

It’s not the first time we’ve talked about Wills, the ultra-premium in-house brand from everyone’s favorite Americana retailers Huckberry, as the micro-brand is perhaps best known for remarkably soft cashmere sweaters, neatly tailored trousers and easygoing yet luxe staples like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer.

Huckberry calls this handsome navy blazer, complete with classic patch pockets, “your secret to easy-wearing warm-weather style,” perhaps a sign pointing towards its on-sale price tag right now — and yet, this is one time shopping out of season, yet at a discount, makes perfect sense.

You see, with a crisply cut navy blazer like this, particularly in a lightweight design, you can layer it up with ease over everything from an elegant button-front cardigan to a fisherman sweater. Thanks to its blend of cotton and elastane, this blazer should prove adept at business casual style situations as well as business casual travel.

After all, the soft-shouldered design and patch pockets make for easy wearability on the go, from point A to point B — and Wills clothing at Huckberry, like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer, is also designed to resist wrinkles and odor, not unlike the Proof in-house brand at Huckberry.

With a crisply cut and highly stylish, easily wearable blazer like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer, go-anywhere good looks become second nature, be it pairing with an Oxford shirt and rust chinos this holiday season, or else keeping handy to wear with dark blue jeans and a chambray shirt at the office or on a weekend date night.

Throw in the chance to save a few bucks with your purchase, and it’s a no-brainer to scoop up the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer, at least in my experience.

See Now, Buy Now: Flint and Tinder’s Best-Selling Trucker Jacket Just Got a Major Upgrade

Flint and Tinder trucker jacket review.

It’s like we’ve been saying for weeks if not months on this Brooklyn style blog: There’s not a better time of year for menswear than right now, with its rich layers, its promise of crisp outdoor adventure and the chance to lean into your rugged side.

And certain retailers just meet the moment quite handily, as you also well know if you read this menswear blog on the regular. Of course, Huckberry stocks the kind of vintage-inspired, Americana-tinged gear you can count on to power everything from weekend farmer’s market visits to cabin getaways, bonfires, park strolls and more.

Shop the best all-around gear for men now at Huckberry

But even the best gear needs an upgrade or a refresh from time to time, including one of Huckberry’s best sellers, the indomitable and incomparable Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket.

The company’s best-selling item of all-time is normally made from a hard-wearing Martexin sailcloth and lined with striped blanket flannel lining, but the latest and greatest Flint and Tinder trucker jacket gets a big-time, highly intriguing upgrade: Witness the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket, which blends the softness of 100 percent indigo-dyed cotton with distinctive Japanese Sashiko stitching.

There’s plenty of character to love in the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket, which updates a true modern menswear classic in utterly eye-catching fashion. As Huckberry notes, sashiko stitching, an age-old technique, helps lend texture, character and craftsmanship to all kinds of textiles, this handsome trucker jacket very much included.

And like other variations on your favorite indigo menswear, pieces like the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Sashiko Trucker Jacket will take on their own character and patina the more you wear ’em — with each wear, in fact.

Huckberry rightfully calls this gem of a piece a “limited-edition, artisanal take on our iconic trucker jacket,” and it’s hard to pass that up (act carefully, since size XS is already sold out online).

The great news is, the same hallmarks that make other versions of the Flint and Tinder trucker jacket so excellent are all in on the action as well, from side-entry waist pockets to a flap-button chest pocket and the brand’s utterly classic striped blanket lining. Look for the inner left side media pocket for your everyday carry, too. And custom, durable hardware lends even further durability to this timeless silhouette, which should prove every bit as wearable as your other favorite Flint and Tinder trucker jacket.

Shop rugged jackets and more at Huckberry

Rock it early and often with a grey henley and tan chinos, or else style it with black jeans and broken-in tan leather boots for a dash of rock n’roll edge. However you choose to wear the newest Flint and Tinder trucker jacket, rest assured that it’s with you for the ride every step of the way, and then some.

The Thursday Buy: The Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket is Primed for Layering This Season

Best shirt jackets for men.

You tend to know right away when a design is so fit for the season at hand: Rugged layers aplenty, especially the best shirt jackets for men — like the kind seen above from our friends at Huckberry — get the job done and then some. And when the best of both worlds collide (like when a hard-wearing flannel shirt meets a durable shirt jacket), well, that’s the sweet spot as far as the best fall menswear is concerned.

Find out more and shop now at Huckberry

And if you read this Brooklyn style blog on the regular, it should come as no shock that gear from the good folks at Ohio-based Relwen tend to fit the bill quite handsomely.

What with the company’s penchant for durability, dependability and modern updates to Americana designs, staple pieces like the innovative Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket deliver as much utility and rugged appeal as a Swiss Army Knife for upstate getaways, lakeside retreats, bonfires, dive bar outings and plenty more.

Huckberry notes that the upstart brand delivers a sense of modern-meets-Americana, and in the best way possible: Technical fabrication meets tried-and-true silhouettes, often with a hearty dose of military style inspiration. And for every outdoor fall and winter adventure you can muster, I’d layer up with the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket (among a host of other reliable Relwen style picks, that is).

The Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket meets the moment as far as the good folks at Huckberry are concerned: The retailer notes that “when you wear a Relwen windzip jacket, blazer, or pants, you know they were made with quality, durability, and movement in mind,” and in my experience, I’d certainly have to agree.

Durable cotton flannel twill makes up the exterior of one of the best shirt jackets for men, while the interior is made up of one consistent piece of polyester ripstop insulation for added warmth. It’s also a positive that this durable shirt jacket comes in a series of classic and eye-catching color combinations, most of them based off your favorite classic plaid flannel shirting designs.

Spring snap hardware aids in durability and plenty of layering potential: Wear the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket atop a henley or even a chambray shirt from the good folks at Huckberry, then team it with canvas work pants for outdoor pursuits or inky blue indigo denim for casual evenings around the bonfire, dram of whiskey in hand. There’s no telling where an essential piece like the Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket can take you, and that’s a great thing indeed.

See Now, Buy Now: This Relwen Superfleece Jacket Upgrades a Cold-Weather Closet Staple

Best puffer jackets for men.

There’s something to be said for finding a closet staple like one of the best winter jackets, and then taking that a step further with updated, modern fabrication and standout style.

Take the puffer jacket, made with quilted construction and down filling. It’s a sportswear staple, as fit for the slopes as it is for apres-ski drinks in a more casual setting — call it an adventure jacket with some travel-ready wearability, which just so happens to be a Huckberry specialty (my favorite retailer is, of course, the focus of today’s spotlight). Keep scrolling for more!

But some puffer jackets are overly technical and come in vivid colors without versatility — that’s where the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket enters your casually rugged technical outerwear rotation and changes the game quite handily.

It’s based off another Relwen outerwear staple, the Relwen Windzip Jacket, which is a more minimal and streamlined take on the classic puffer jacket — with a dash of military style inspiration thrown in, to boot.

So, you could certainly say that the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket from the Ohio-based, Huckberry-approved outfitter is as good as it gets, blending the best of both worlds in a technical yet eye-catching, casually fashionable way. It starts with a wildly durable water-resistant, breathable stretch shell that easily repels wind and rain (at least, in my experience wearing pieces like the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket).

From there, cozy and warm high-pile fleece gives the handsome Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket superior performance in cold temperatures (you should still opt for a heavier parka during a blizzard, all that being said). The Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket boasts technical features aplenty, including ripstop-lined sleeves that should offer an easy-on, easy-off layering experience, plus brushed tricot pockets for warmth (and a dash of softness as you carry your EDC on adventures far afield).

This Huckberry-approved jacket also features mix-and-match zipper and durable snap-front button closures, and it comes in five easily wearable colors that can be paired seamlessly with expertly faded jeans, stretch chinos or jogger pants as you hop from point A to point B.

As Huckberry notes, straddle-stitched seams enhance durability at key stress points, while reliably rugged construction throughout should make for a prime wearing experience on the go this season. If you’re on the hunt for a jacket to wear on your next seasonal excursion, the Relwen Quilted Superfleece Jacket might just be the one, my friends.

Best corduroy pants for men.

It’s not quite as easy as one might think to narrow down a list of fall style essentials — from hearty denim to thick flannel shirts, cozy henleys and of course, the best leather boots for men, options abound in the way of seasonal style selections.

And yet, the best corduroy pants are worthy of your consideration — with the build of a durable pair of jeans and the refinement of, well, classic corduroy pants for men, the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants deserve a spot in your wardrobe, with versatility and style in spades.

A touch more elevated than even classic dark indigo jeans, and yet nowhere near as stuffy as the best suit pants for men, the corduroy pant is a rugged, versatile, casual and crisp style killer, at least in my experience.

The Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants boast riveted pockets akin to your favorite denim, and they’re also sharp enough to sub in for jeans or dress pants in equal measure — styled the right way, of course. And as with many of my favorite style selections, they hail from Huckberry — would you expect anything less than the best from one of the top online menswear shops, ehh?

Shop the best men’s pants and more at Huckberry

And when it comes to the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants, you’re certainly getting the best of the best — at a solid price, to boot. Classic five-pocket construction abounds, as does a garment-dyed finish for exceptional softness.

The rugged yet elegant Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants are also built with stretch for extra comfort, and it certainly doesn’t hurt that they come in highly wearable color options, including a deeply rich olive number and the aptly named shade of Whiskey.

Each would wear exceptionally well with a chambray shirt and richly crafted brown leather boots, to name but one way you can wear the newly iconic Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants. When the time comes to switch things up from classic blue dark denim or even your tried-and-true dress pants, opt for the refined-yet-rustic Flint and Tinder Corduroy Pants, my friends.

The Friday Find: The LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots are a Prime Smart-Casual Footwear Move

Best moc toe boots for men.

I’m certainly willing to bet you’ve got your own idea of what “smart casual” or business casual means in your menswear wardrobe: Pieces that are a step down from a traditional dress shirt and a full suit, for instance, but that can be mixed and matched with ease for a stylish sense of polish. The navy blazer, the white Oxford shirt and the khaki or tan chino are prime examples of some of the best business casual style for guys, but what about your footwear? There’s a way to bridge the gap handsomely between rugged work boots and dress shoes polished to a shine — for all those times that you might pair said Oxford or chambray shirt with dark blue denim, for instance, some of the best moc toe boots might suffice (see below for exhibit A in this instance).

And in today’s Friday Find — where we take a fairly quick-hit look at a must-buy product that might have flown under your radar — the LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots exemplify smart casual, pleasingly rugged yet versatile footwear for your fall style rotation.

For those unfamiliar, LUCA is the prime smart casual footwear brand designed in-house at Huckberry, blending gum rubber outsoles with hybrid silhouettes, like a moc toe leather boot upper or a sneaker boot or Chelsea boot construction up top. And in this case, the LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots use the classic hallmarks of a sturdy moc toe work boot, then take a more laidback approach with a gum rubber wedge outsole.

Triple-stitched contrasting construction accents the moc toe design itself, while a three-eyelet, chukka boot-like upper also gives them a dash of wear-with-anything appeal, especially when teamed with olive chinos, expertly faded blue jeans or grey cotton canvas work pants.

There’s a versatile appeal to the fairly priced, carefully constructed LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots, and you can be sure they’re up to snuff — thanks to the good folks at Huckberry, of course. Lace up the LUCA Drift Moc Toe Boots the next time you need rugged new, stylish fall boots.
