In case you couldn’t tell, we’re pretty into waxed jackets here at InsideHook. Really into waxed jackets. Maybe too into waxed jackets. And we’re especially into the rugged Flint and Tinder waxed trucker jackets available through our friends over at Huckberry. Enough so that we’re constantly recommending them, watching shows about them (kinda) and living what we’ve deemed a WTJ-centric lifestyle.
And why wouldn’t we be? Before — and in some circumstances well after — the weather dips below freezing, the layer is all your wardrobe really needs to fend off any chill, and with that unparalleled classic workwear look, it proves the perfect jacket for everything from a casual coffee run to full-fledged backpacking expedition. It keeps you dry and looking like a discount Kayce Dutton. (Giddy-up!) And with their insane durability, you won’t have to buy another jacket, like, ever. What more could you need?
As it turns out, the most difficult decision is not a matter of if you should grab a Flint and Tinder waxed jacket — that should be a given by now — but rather which iteration is the perfect one for you. And that’s where we come in. We’ve parsed the totality of Flint and Tinder’s outdoorsy offerings and offered helpful advice to guide you on your way to rugged manhood outerwear. Whether your needs skew flannel or wool, quilted or solid, know that there is a brawny waxed jacket ready for you below.
For the Fall-Loving Fella: Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket
Materials: 100% Halley Stevensons P200 dry finish waxed cotton | Fit: regular | Sizes: S-2XL | Colors: 2 |
Best For: Layering season, casual fall style
Sizing: Runs true to size, with a slightly cropped fit
Flint and Tinder’s done it again. Nearly a decade on from their iconic waxed trucker jacket, the rugged outdoor brand has dropped the ultimately lightweight fall jacket with a new, perfectlycropped Harrington jacket. It’s reminiscent of something James Dean might wear, but with some added heft — namely, microflannel lining and a robust dry-finish waxed cotton outer from the centuries-old Scottish millers over at Halley Stevensons.
For the Layering Legend: Flint and Tinder The James Waxed Snap Jacket
Materials: 100% BCI Halley Stevensons dry finish waxed cotton canvas | Fit: traditional | Sizes: XS-4XL | Colors: 5 |
Best For: Shacket fans
Sizing: Runs slightly large, designed for layering
The second new style from F&T comes in the form of a paired down snap jacket; offering a slightly more refined and lightweight option than the typical waxed trucker, The James looks like any other tasteful shacket, albeit one will keep you dry and warm year-round.
For the Everyday Guy: Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
Materials: waxed Martexin 7 oz. sailcloth | Fit: traditional trucker | Sizes: XS-3XL | Colors: 8 |
Best For: Casualwear in a variety of cooler temperatures
Sizing: Runs slightly small — size up if you want to layer
You know it, you love it. We also love it. F&T’s iconic style is virtually infallible, with a weather-resistant Martexin 7oz sailcloth from New Jersey that wears in beautifully and holds its weatherproof edge for years and a timeless trucker fit that flatters pretty much anyone. Even better, It’s now available in eight crispy colors and a multitude of sizing.
For the Chilly Everyday Guy: Flint and Tinder Wool-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket
Materials: waxed Martexin 8.25 oz. sailcloth | Fit: traditional trucker | Sizes: XS-3XL | Colors: 4 |
Best For: Serious protection from winter weather
Sizing: Runs small — size up if you want to layer
The classic waxed trucker’s older, hotter brother, this wool-lined iteration has a heavier shell (the Martexin Shelter Cloth clocks in at 8.25 oz.) and toasty wool lining to brave anything winter throws your way. For the guy who spends more time outdoors than your average joe — chopping wood, or maybe coaching little league soccer — and needs a heftier layer to fend off winter’s chill, this is his jacket.
For the Barbour Fanboy: Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket
Materials: 100% British Millerain Tekwax Evolution 8 waxed canvas | Fit: traditional | Sizes: XS-3XL | Colors: 6 |
Best For: Traditional waxed jacket features
Sizing: Runs slightly large
More in line with classic British work coats — Barbour, Belstaff and the like — than the all-American trucker, the Hudson Jacket has all the classic corduroy finishing and Abraham Moons-sourced wool that a traditional waxed jacket carries. It looks excellent over a sweater, and could even offer some protection over a tweed sportscoat…if that’s your thing.
For the Yellowstone Fanatic: Flint and Tinder The Bighorn Waxed Jacket
Materials: 100% TekwaxEvolution 6 cotton canvas | Fit: regular | Sizes: S-XXL | Colors: 3 |
Best For: Western vibes in a weatherproof shacket
Sizing: Runs true to size
Feeling particularly big in your britches? Inspired by the great plains and even greater TV program Yellowstone? The aptly named Bighorn Jacket is probably your speed — part Western shirt, part waxed jacket, and full of Americana charm.
For the Man About Town: Flint and Tinder York Quilted Waxed Jacket
Materials: 100% BCI Halley Stevensons dry finish waxed cotton canvas | Fit: regular | Sizes: XS-2XL | Colors: 5 |
Best For: Modern vibe, zipper freaks
Sizing: Runs true to size
By far the most refined waxed style from Huckberry’s in-house brand, the York Quilted Waxed Jacket modern performance vibes skews more finance bro than ranch hand. If you’re a fan of a zipper-style fit and puffer-esque Primaloft insulation, this one is for you.
For the Serious Outdoorsman: Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher Jacket
Materials: waxed Martexin 10 oz. sailcloth | Fit: traditional | Sizes: XS-3XL | Colors: 5 |
Best For: Outdoor folk, proper jacket seekers
Sizing: Runs true to size
Arguably the burliest of the waxed jacket offerings, the made-in-America Rancher Jacket pairs a heavier 10 oz sailcloth shell with F&T’s signature flannel lining and handfuls of hearty insulation for a workwear style that won’t quit, even in the nastiest of conditions. The average Joe probably doesn’t need to shell out nearly $400 for the hefty layer, but for the dedicated outdoorsman, it’s a non-negotiable.
