Huckberry’s annual Black Friday sale is live, offering discounts on a curated selection of clothing and equipment designed for both urban and outdoor lifestyles. This isn’t just another retail event; it’s a chance to invest in durable, high-quality items that can last for years. The sale includes deals from Huckberry’s own brands, alongside favorites like GoRuck and Peak Design. Here’s a breakdown of the best picks, from essential travel wear to… well, lockpicking kits.
The Essentials: Clothing That Lasts
Merino Wool T-Shirt: Huckberry’s Proof 72-Hour Merino is a standout. Its blend of 87% superfine merino wool and 13% nylon provides stretch, comfort, and durability. This isn’t just another merino tee; it’s versatile enough for everyday wear and travel, holding its shape after months of use.
Waxed Canvas Jackets: Flint and Tinder’s waxed garments are a cult favorite. While the classic trucker jacket isn’t currently discounted, the quilted version (with recycled Primaloft insulation) offers similar rugged style with added warmth. These jackets are designed for longevity, not fast fashion.
The Perfect Pants: These pants are understated, comfortable, and practical. Featuring deep, roomy pockets capable of holding a camera, notebook, or other essentials, they strike a balance between functionality and low-profile style. Note: currently available only in a 31-inch inseam.
Barefoot Boots: Lems offer a unique combination of rugged leather aesthetics and barefoot shoe comfort. The 13mm sole provides a more substantial feel than minimalist sandals, while the wide toe box ensures natural foot positioning. These are ideal for colder weather without sacrificing the benefits of zero-drop footwear.
Beyond Clothing: Tools and Tech
Lockpicking Kit: For those with a curious mind (or a penchant for puzzles), this kit provides everything needed to learn the basics of lockpicking. The clear padlock allows for visual learning, making it an accessible entry point into this unexpected hobby.
Moccamaster Coffee Maker: If precision and longevity matter, the Moccamaster KBGV Select is the industry standard. Known for its consistent brewing temperature (within 4°C variance), this machine is built to last and deliver exceptional coffee for years.
Film-Inspired Digital Camera: The Camp Snap offers a unique experience: digital photos without the instant gratification of a screen. With up to 2,000 photos of storage, it encourages mindful shooting and a delayed reveal, similar to traditional film photography.
Peak Design Backpack: The Everyday Backpack is a versatile EDC (everyday carry) bag. It’s not just for cameras; it can be used for work, travel, or daily commutes. Features like a tuck-away waist strap and FlexFold dividers make it adaptable to various needs.
Conclusion: Huckberry’s Black Friday sale highlights a trend towards durable, well-made products designed to last. Whether you’re upgrading your wardrobe or investing in long-term gear, this sale offers a chance to buy less but buy better. The focus on quality over quantity—and the occasional lockpicking kit—sets it apart from typical holiday shopping events.
