Additionally, the online retailer will selectively introducing new products to the all-star lineup of apparel in the future.
"As owners of one of the highest-grossing apparel Kickstarters of all-time, and the only high-volume manufacturers of premium men's underwear in America, Flint and Tinder is a welcomed addition to the Huckberry family,” said Richard Greiner, co-founder of Huckberry.
Greiner further added that “Their devout fan base and proud commitment to U.S. manufacturing have made them one of our strongest brand partners to date, making this deal a win for both Huckberry and Flint and Tinder. "

Bronstein founded Flint and Tinder in 2012 to "reignite American manufacturing, deliver a higher quality product than you're used to, and save a factory or two, all in one fell swoop."
