Flint & Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket: Don't Make These Sizing Mistakes

[@adamp5951]

I'm 5'9" (175 cm), 150 pounds (68 kg), with a 39" chest and started with the small. Perfect, tailored fit over a t-shirt or similar, but gets tight with anything thicker. I eventually bought a medium to layer over a hoodie and it works, but yeah, loads of room even then. Flat on a table and buttoned the armpit to armpit on the small is 20". The medium is 22". I found a waxed rancher in small on eBay and it is cut a tad bigger to accommodate a layer (and it is a warmer coat) without the extra space.

[@enzobruno2817]

Another helpful video Cameron, thank you. However, what would be more helpful is letting us know your chest size too. For me, height and weight is ok to know, but more importantly is your chest and possibly shoulder width. Loved the video also trying on the different outfits. Thanks again!

The large is very valuable in cold weather for layering. The large does not look too baggy on you, especially when worn over a hoodie or a bulky sweather. In my opinion, the medium looks too tight unless you only intend to wear a single tee shirt underneath. A 6 foot tall person does not need to have a beer belly to require a large. If you have broad shoulders and a muscular chest, the medium is too small. Although this being said, Flint and Tinder waxed trucker sizing can be very frustrating to figure out. Your video is very helpful in this regard.

[@Christopher_Stead]

You're right, the tan with the seaman's sweater does indeed look nice!

[@user-fo5hs9hn5e]

Thanks for this, really appreciate showing how the different layers fit underneath, and how you went into detail on the sizing. I've tried the Rogue Territory Supply jacket but I just can't get the sizing quite right - it's definitely cut for a specific body type. Looking forward to the video on the sweater!

[@MOEGallery-i8v]

I've been looking at that Bleu de Chauffe Seaman Sweater. Would love a review on it, I'm wondering what the quality is like. Could be a good option for climates that are too warm for wool (Brisbane and most of Oz). Love the content as always Cam. Hope you make it to 10k before the end of the year 🤞🏼

[@jasonkrasowski4673]

I want down this same journey with this jacket. I’m 5’ 11’ 190lbs and a 44” chest ( this is important on the size chart on F&T) I originally got a Large based on the web sights size chart and it was just too loose in the body and especially in the sleeves. I exchanged for a Medium, and it fits just like your medium. Perfect. I can still layer a sweater underneath and button up the coat with it only feeling slightly snug but not uncomfortable. I would agree and go true to size on this bad boy. I’ve had it for a couple of months now, and am so happy I picked it up. Cheers mate!

[@DecoyJeff]

5'6" 135lb 36" chest. This puts me at the border of a XS and a S according to their measurement chart on the site. I ordered a XS and it fits perfectly and I used the same thought process as Cameron. It's never hot enough in Australia to layer so a more tailored XS is perfect for me. Although I can fit a thick hoodie underneath and button up somewhat snuggly if I choose to. I normally wear a XS anyway so at least in my case, the jacket is true to size. My #1 tip for sizing is to first measure your chest and then compare yourself to the models in the "Fit My Fit" section on the site's jacket page. Just by comparing your build (height/weight) and chest (the product of your combo of height/weight), you can semi-confidently guess your size based on the pictures. And of course the "MEASUREMENT CHART" section with all the detailed chest measurements of each size is absolutely handy.

[@matthewjamesduffy]

Great video thank you. I’m a few cm shorter than you and a few kg less. Was trying to decide between M and L and looks like M is the way to go! Would love to see a review of the Flint and Tinder jeans.

[@drewengles4477]

Just ordered mine in field tan. been wanting this jacket for a couple years now. Love the blue seaman sweater also, a bit pricey for me though at $206.

[@StitchdownShell]

Great review Cameron. I often grab my Flint and Tinder waxed lined jacket over the Rogue Territory supply jacket unlined bc it’s a bit more comfortable to put on and isn’t as tight.

[@tjekkarisdahl]

Same here. I wear the Rogue Territory more as a formal jacket, meaning when I plan to look more stylish than rugged.

[@StitchdownShell]

@@tjekkarisdahl Same here. Kinda like a blazer with a t shirt or a collared shirt that can't be too long as the RT jacket is cut pretty short.

[@tjekkarisdahl]

@@StitchdownShell I normally pop the back of the shirt into my pants, but leave the front untucked. This means the shirt doesn’t stick out underneath the jacket in the back.

[@TheDarkStigmataVA]

I'm 6'3, I ordered the 3XL classic fit version, and it fits like a dream. So, if your height is between 6'2 and 6'4, the 3XL is the way to go, and Huckberry will be helpful in getting you your right size.

[@johnsonaaro]

this is really something i wish i could go try on in a store. I'm 6'4" and about 290 lbs but ive never worn anything 3x in my life. XLT for t shirts or XXLT for outerwear has always fit great.

[@KernowEDC]

Great review dude. Thanks for trying out the different layering pieces too. Really nice to see and not enough KZbinrs do it! I’ve subbed. Keep the great content coming!

[@CameronO]

I appreciate it!

[@nmoddentity8401]

I'm roughly the same height and weight and have the medium. It's tough to layer much partly because of the flannel lining in the sleeves. But with a t-shirt or light layer it works very well.

[@jaakkovantaa6729]

I do sizzle with envy when I watch your jacket vids, as in most Japanese brands I'm size no can do.

[@scottjohncunningham]

Appreciate all the layering examples 👌

[@RealMNreviews]

You did a real good shirt review bro. Literally one of the best iv seen. Amazing . I looked at ur page to see if you had more on quality clothing reviews. I didnt see alot. Please make more on outdoor/ work clothing. Boots, vests, pants ect I live in MN. The first thing im going to ask is, how does it hold up against water. I've been learning (like most) about material differences. Let us know what advantage they have. I personally want like a shirt jacket? Duck canvas maybe?, comfortable linening/cuffs. That iron heart was prety cool. Man i really liked it. Like darker colors.

[@DGameFinishr]

I’m 6’ and 189 lbs. I recently got one of the these on Large since that’s what I wear usually for tops. I have a 44-45” chest size and the large was too snug with just a t-shirt and I felt it more while driving. I had to exchanged it for XL but now the sleeves are a bit longer but the chest fits nice and I have a room for layering. I think the right sizing is based on the chest size…

[@jaredbabb2425]

Agreed. I have an XL and maybe a 42'' chest at the time of purchase. I like to have some room to layer too.

[@JBuer]

This. I am 5’11 and 179 pounds but with broad shoulders and 42 chest. Large is what works best. The medium fir but was too restricting.

[@KaareNissen]

I am really looking forward to your video regarding your new Viberg shoes.

[@CameronO]

Picking them up on Thursday, Finally!

[@Christopher_Stead]

I have the medium in forest colour, and it's probably my favourite jacket ever. The only downside is that even in cold-ish weather, I can't walk long distances without sweating up a storm. The lining and the wax application really doesn't allow it to breath all that well. But it looks rugged as hell :)

[@Escendrix]

Do you find the Forest color to be more brown or green?

May I know your black knit sweater, it looks great on you

[@JackTheArticSnail]

I'm 187cm and 95kg and I have a size L. Fits well, like your size M. Not a lot of room for layering. At first I was afraid it was too small, but after a couple of wears it became a bit looser.

[@MarcS4R]

i am 190 , 88 kg , i suppose L should be good also ?

[@JackTheArticSnail]

@MarcS4R yes, I would go with a large in your case. I'm on the limit to XL, but seeing that you are lighter than me I think an L is perfect. Unless you are jacked, then it might get tight over the shoulders. There It's pretty long in the torso, so I don't think the added height is a problem.

[@allyjhughes]

I absolutely love that knit you are wearing, wow. Maybe you could do a vid on it?

Hey mate, how do you think the Field Tan would compare with their Havana? In terms of versatility for wearing every day?

[@curtshelp6170]

I've been considering the no name waxed hooded jacket from flint and tinder but other than a flannel liner it offers no insulation.

[@jamieward3574]

I've been thinking about one of these for a while so this review is really useful. I'm long in the back and 6 feet 3 though so I'd have to go for a tall

[@mitchellcowan8558]

Can I ask, does it "stretch a little" in the shoulders/back over time? I bought myself an XS and with a T shirt on, it looks great, but when I lift my arms horizontal in front of me, for the hug test I can feel a slightly uncomfortable tightness in my back/chest. I can still hug, but theres a bit of resistance in the armholes/across the back. I'm wondering if that will loosen up a bit over time, or if I should go a size up for the small. I go size 36-37 garments with 30inch waist, but am short (5'3). Im in Australia so unlikely to wear anything other than a T shirt.

[@ReckaBee3]

[@rogerzgu4099]

How does it compare with your iron heart type 3 jacket? It seems this medium size is even bigger than than the iron heart large.

[@rhithym]

5'9", usually waver between 170 - 175 lbs., around 40 - 42" chest. Most often go for medium in shirts. When I first bought a medium, I was at my heaviest, and wasn't happy with how tight the jacket fit. I bought a large, but a year later and skinnier, and I'm unhappy with how long it feels in the length of the sleeves and body. I'm probably going to get it tailored, hopefully I can find someone skilled who can crop the length for me.

[@jordanchastain5132]

I had an XL that I wore all the time and it fit great except I couldn’t button it up (I’m a bigger guy). It was perfect in the sleeves and it sat just slightly below the waist which is fine. It sadly got ruined so I threw it out and got the same one in 2XL and it closes perfectly in the front but the sleeves are too long now. I’ve had it for about a year and even rewaxed it and worn it every day for months when I could and I feel like the sleeves never really bunched up all that much. Either way though the 2XL would be absolutely perfect for me if the sleeves were shorter and the torso length was shorter. Great jacket

[@johnmutton799]

It helps if you give chest measurement, and waist, and arm length.

Thanks for the video, I’m dealing with the size decision with small and medium tan and coal jackets. I like the fit of the small better, but I’m finding that the buttons near the top of the jacket when open, come together and the jacket fans out towards the bottom at the front, it’s pretty annoying, have you found this to happen too?

[@Sebastian-h6o4g]

[@PYROninja64]

I just bought this jacket in tan. Did anyone else have the issue of it coming in looking a lot darker than all of the images and videos online? I don't know if the color will lighten up over time, I'm worried if I wait to find out I won't be able to return the jacket of it doesn't.

[@Danpacjuk]

[@MrPanthers23]

I tried the L and the XL. Unfortunately, neither fit well. Im 5'10", 240 lbs. I am a weight lifter, have broad shoulders. The L was too tight around my shoulders. The XL swallows me whole around the waist and isnt a flattering look. Had to return both. Fortunately, an XL in iron and resin jackets fit me well

[@oboudreaux]

Yea, I'm 6', 220 with a 47" chest. According to F&T that puts me in an XXL. I'm a little concerned that would be like wearing a tent in my mid section. Which I&R did you go with?

Looks like most of these style jackets don't work too well for us shorter stocky guys. 5'7" 180 currently with 43" chest and fairly broad shoulders. The shoulders are where I typically have my issues. I'd probably try a large due to this but the overall length and sleeve length would likely be less than desirable. Probably need to explore which brand is most generous in the shoulders.

Im 6' and 180-185, 42-44 chest, 32 waist, and I guess broad shoulders and long arms. Nothing in a medium fits me, even with a t-shirt. I mean, I can get medium on, and it looks ok, but usually so restrictive I can't comfortably cross my arms. So height and weight are not the best indicators.

[@bigboyrock]

Sizing remains one of the biggest potential nightmares for mail-order, especially, as you say, when importing from outside of UK. I just made a major mistake buying Wonder Looper direct from Japan for a L zip-up, which is so oversized that I cannot wear it (I'm 6ft & 200lbs) Its VERY American sizing, but the expense of import fees and now having to return it for an exchange means this is going to cost about £400 or more, just for a hoodie. I thought I had the measurements about right and something was telling me from decades of experience of alternating between L & XL that I was safe with Large as I have never been a medium in my life; wrong. It's a great hoodie, but it was only because the stockists in the UK didn't have Indigo colour way that I ordered this one directly. Even quite recently I ordered XL t-shirts from Huckberry (their great Proof label), plus the expensive t-shirts from Unbound Merino from Canada. The Huckberry shirts are a great fit, but the Unbound Merino ones are like a tent and unwearable for me. The taxes were a killer, so it was a £270 mistake and just a write off.. So, as per this helpful video Cameron, a real focus on sizing really helps, even though many of us are of inbetweener builds and it will mostly never be perfect. Cheers.

[@CameronO]

Sorry to hear mate. The import fees are crazy to the UK these days. I think with these oversized items you could look at selling them on Markkt or something like Reddit /rawdenim. Or even the Iron Heart Forums, they have a for sale section for other items. Also, this is a bit of a faff, but there are certain ways to send items back without the return import fees. I've done it before, there is a form and it basically says you're returning a faulty/defect item for repair etc.. Then when they send it back it comes through without fees. - Something like this: www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-less-import-duty-and-vat-when-re-importing-goods-to-the-uk-and-eu#claim-relief I've done it before with a watch, not sure it works with clothes

Be careful with the assumption that all American made garments are oversized. My greatest example is Brave Star Selvedge. They make amazing products but I'm a wide body at 5'6" 185 pounds and a 49" chest, the Brave Star sherpa lined #3 denim jacket in a 2xl only fits over a t-shirt and only while standing at attention. I bought a 3xl in the tan denim. with black sherpa the following year and I can ride the bike with this one but the waist is so open that it offers little protection so it will need to be tailored.
