EVERY Flint and Tinder Waxed Jacket Reviewed | Which One is the Best for You?

[@StrayReviews]

Which one is your favorite?

[@DeffoZappo]

I got the lined trucker and I absolutely love it. The only other one that calls me is the rancher in forest or charcoal. I think after this I am just going to buy Iron and Resin though

[@DeffoZappo]

I forgot to mention that I got my jacket on eBay for 150 and I would not pay 300 for it. The lack of cotton flannel and lined pockets is a major reason

[@StrayReviews]

@@DeffoZappo I can confirm that the F&T pockets are now flannel lined on the knuckle side.

[@tony_r_pierce]

I appreciated this comparison video. All the models in one place! Very helpful, and well done as usual. I like the wool lined also, and especially in the color you showed.

[@StrayReviews]

I'm surprised they only have 3 colors available because it's such a great jacket.

[@Vwall007STASMR]

I already own the flannel lined trucker in tan and ordered the rancher in natural seed yesterday. Can’t wait to wear it this winter

[@StrayReviews]

Both great jackets!

[@altonza]

Love ‘em! So my style; enjoy the rustic, rugged and masculine look with the minimal details 🤙🏾

[@StrayReviews]

For sure. I’ve got lots of wears on all of them.

[@altonza]

@@StrayReviews I will definitely add an olive, rust and charcoal to my wardrobe.

[@g.shumway5925]

as of today (12/12/23), several of these jackets are on sale for as much as $100 off (I know the Hudson’s on sale).

[@StrayReviews]

Wow! Good time to get one!

[@David.Horne72]

Thanks for the reviews, being in Australia its great to see the differences, I am going to pull the pin on one shortly

[@StrayReviews]

Nice! So many great options out there.

[@ituned]

Me too in Sydney! Wish there were stockist over here to try size and check colour in reality

[@David.Horne72]

What is the best colour? Apart from the most populare one?

[@StrayReviews]

@@David.Horne72 Depends on the jacket. I'm partial to darks greens and navy blues though.

[@TxmmyBeats]

Are unlined jackets worth getting?

[@StrayReviews]

If you like to wear jean jackets, you might like the unlined.

[@bumblefritz]

I have the "Wool-Lined Trucker" and the "Rancher" jackets. Both are great but the Rancher is my favorite. I was worried it would be too bulky but it really isn't while still having room to layer. I feel like it's the only one that really cuts it for the winter and has the broadest seasonal wearability range overall. Both are excellent though.

[@StrayReviews]

The Rancher is definitely my favorite during the coldest weeks of the year.

[@Griotmaster]

My favorite is the Hudson & I’m awaiting delivery now. I got it on sale in the Forest color!

[@StrayReviews]

Nice choice. I’m real happy with mine.

[@TravisGoodman]

Love my F&T waxed trucker jacket! It’s def one of my fav go to jackets as well!

[@StrayReviews]

Such an easy choice for me.

[@supaflow2006]

Appreciate the video! I've got a few colors of the flannel lined trucker, it's my favorite so far. Tried the Hudson as well but the a couple buttons actually broke when I was trying it on.

[@StrayReviews]

The flannel-lined is such an easy choice. I wouldn't mind picking it up in another color.

[@mike4402]

I have the wool lined waxed parka, best of every world imo

[@StrayReviews]

I haven't seen that one, but it sounds amazing.

[@XDWX]

I have the flannel trucker and the mill both in small. I am 5'6" 150lbs. The trucker sleeves are a little snug for my arms and make it hard to layer. The mill is way more moveable and warmer and I love the corduroy parts on the collar, cuffs, and pockets. I also cant stand the buttons on the trucker. They get snagged on everything. I dont even see how big buttons even became a thing for a work jacket. If I set down a piece of lumber it snags , if I lean over to put something in my grocery cart it snags the cart, if I am sitting at a work bench and go to stand up I almost fall back down because it snags the edge of the bench. I have to constantly babysit the buttons to watch for snagging.

[@StrayReviews]

Yep, the Mill has some great features over the Trucker. Personally, I prefer having slippery sleeves.

[@richarddow69]

Have alot of Flint&Tinder products from pants to jackets and was much happier when all their line was Made in the USA.

[@StrayReviews]

Seems to be a trend to move production overseas once a brand grows to a certain point. I think made in the USA is cool.

[@frankkitajima4339]

I were my Carhartt J140 jacket just recently got 1 of their Artic coats, really want to get 1 of these tinder flint waxed jackets just not in my budget right now! Thanks for the review!

[@StrayReviews]

The J140 is everywhere here in the Midwest. It’s a classic!

[@TheMors1975]

Should try a Barbour those are the best has corduroy on the neck and waxed

[@StrayReviews]

Definitely a possibility. 👍

[@g.shumway5925]

Deciding between Wool-lined Trucker and Hudson…which is warmer? I’m also actually thinking of waiting a year since I hope they hope they adopt your suggestion of a wool-lined inside collar.😂

[@StrayReviews]

That would be sweet! I think the wool-lined trucker is warmer for sure.

[@JP-8924]

Just have to say the scenery when youre demonstrating them on is beautiful. Im gonna guess Vermont?

[@StrayReviews]

Believe it or not, it's western Illinois farmland, just a stone's throw from the Iowa border.

[@dpur773104aolcom]

My Winter jacket at the moment is the sherpa lined Carhartt Washed Duck Bartlett jacket. Absolutely love it! I also own the Flint & Tinder flannel lined waxed trucker and think it's perfect. Having said that, those other options have me thinking....should I maybe have a third jacket?!! :)

[@StrayReviews]

There’s no such thing as too many jackets. 😁

[@pas0003]

An excellent review and comparison! Thank you!

[@StrayReviews]

Thanks so much!

[@robertcyr6811]

My favorite was the last one the rancher

[@StrayReviews]

Had that one on for a few hours yesterday. It’s pretty great.

[@fbcpraise]

Great review, but... their inventory is a bit spotty. Is this just a January thing?

[@StrayReviews]

Yes, it’s usually like that this time of year. Hopefully they’ll do some restocking soon.

[@WhoamI20233]

I was watching another review of the jacket and apparently flint and tinder weighs the trucker jacket before waxing so it’s 7oz before waxing and about 9.5oz after waxing.

[@StrayReviews]

Ah, that was my suspicion. Thanks for that info!

[@jessek437]

My favorite is one you skipped over - Quilted waxed shirt jacket.

[@StrayReviews]

I don’t have experience with that one but it looks like a great option.

[@EDCWITHME]

Take a look at Kuhls Outlaw Waxed jacket

[@StrayReviews]

Looks pretty cool. And at a nice price.

[@ajram777]

How does the sizing of the Rancher compare to the Trucker?

[@StrayReviews]

It's slightly roomier on me, and I can layer a heavier flannel or sweater underneath it.

[@ajram777]

@@StrayReviews thanks for the response! so you went with the same size? I've heard some people sizing down

[@StrayReviews]

@@ajram777 Yep, I went with a medium for all the waxed jackets.

[@QV1010]

I have Barbour wax jackets so for me the Hudson has some of that Barbour details. It seem to be better build. Personally I just go with Barbour for wax jackets & no matter how much I like Pedro pascal I probably choose Barbour, F&T Is not bad just not my style.

[@StrayReviews]

Nice! Barbour makes some nice stuff, from what I've seen.

[@Lr-200]

Where is that henley from?

[@StrayReviews]

That’s an old Flint and Tinder Heavyweight Henley.

[@kenlau2044]

Hi, thanks for the reviews. May I ask about the sizing? The numbers on the Rancher seems a lot bigger than the rest. I have the Unlined in Medium, and the closest to it will be XS for the Rancher. Should I stick with M or go XS? THANK YOU! Just read the other replies u made. Seems Medium is the way to go

[@averagejoe4101]

Any thoughts on the Bighorn shirt jacket? I like the two breast pocket look..

[@StrayReviews]

I've never tried that one. The Flint and Tinder unlined waxed jacket has two pockets but no insulation.

[@averagejoe4101]

Are there any Huckberry (flint & tinder) storefronts? I’d like to try on a lot of their items before buying. Thanks

[@StrayReviews]

They might have a store in Austin, TX but I'm not sure.

[@altonza]

What brand of Henley shirt is that; great fit🤙🏾

[@StrayReviews]

That’s an old Flint and Tinder Heavyweight Henley. I really hope they bring them back.

[@altonza]

@@StrayReviews looks good bro!

[@StrayReviews]

@@altonzaThank you!

[@ryanr4181]

im about the same size as you sir! may i please ask what size do you buy because i think it will fit me

[@StrayReviews]

I wear these in medium. 👍

[@jackster285]

How roomy are the wool-lined waxed trucker jackets in medium? I'm also 5ft 8ins, weigh around 155, with a 38 ins chest. I notice the arms were quite long on your medium. Not sure wether to go medium or small and I come from the UK so can't return it.

[@StrayReviews]

It's roomy enough for me to wear a sweater or hoodie underneath. The sales page has a really cool "Find my fit" section where you can choose a size, and it will display models of various heights and weights, so you can see how they fit on different bodies.

[@mkens6624]

Were jackets tested in Medium? I am your height, but I weigh about 5 lbs more.

[@StrayReviews]

Yep, I got them in medium.

[@HeritageCast]

[@kalebbeasley1677]

Great review

[@StrayReviews]

Thanks Kaleb!

[@DrDennis]

Not buying expensive jackets with no pocket linings. Period. ❤

[@StrayReviews]

They’ve started to add them on the knuckle side. Hopefully they’ll go full lined.

[@DrDennis]

@@StrayReviews I contacted Huckberry and they confirmed this is true. I asked on Amazon if they are lined and 2-3 guys said no??

[@bootsjeansandtheoddwatch]

I’m wearing the waxed Rancher right now…it’s my pick for #1!

[@StrayReviews]

It's stellar. I'm about to throw mine on and go for a walk.

[@jeffgrantMEDIA]

I am going to take a guess at the start, the Rancher is your favorite. Its is really growing on me! (and you beat me too the full FNT Waxed Jacket video).

[@StrayReviews]

Close! It's the Wool-Lined Trucker, but the Rancher is a VERY close 2nd. Looking forward to seeing your take!

[@jeffgrantMEDIA]

@@StrayReviews Your wool lined does not have lined pockets? Mines does. But I did just get mine a few months ago. The only jacket I don't have that you covered is the Mill Jacket. Last jacket round it was not in stock. Maybe next box!

[@warofalliances8220]

fav colour?

[@StrayReviews]

Good question. Probably forest.

[@warofalliances8220]

@@StrayReviews havana or tan? which one do you prefer with having them both. im trying to decide between the two

[@StrayReviews]

@@warofalliances8220 Tough call, but I would probably lean towards tan.

[@Mellowbaton]

Most of these look pretty good, but it’s tough to see polyester in certain items at this price point

[@StrayReviews]

I’ve heard the polyester flannel lining has been a sticking point for some people.

[@youngboyharless9769]

It's never been my favorite material either, not for sleeves at least. And SO MANY companies use it. I'd much prefer something softer to the touch and no scratchy feeling. ​@@StrayReviews

[@noobworker]

Waxed canvas. Favorite unlined Rogue Territory's Supply Jacket Favorite lined Tom Beckbe's Tensaw Jacket Just cold winter. Iron Heart N1 oiled Honorable mention. Filson's Mackinaw Cruiser

[@StrayReviews]

That Tensaw jacket looks amazing! That's the first time I've seen that one.

[@Kelsmith2]

Anything with a polyester lining is a no go from me. No plastic item of clothing should be even close to the $200-$400 price range.

[@StrayReviews]

That’s a good point!

[@Oomph6006]

What material would you prefer instead of polyester with same properties?

[@richeyrich2203]

@@Oomph6006a silk wool blend with a touch of cotton for strength would be great. Silky soft and warm as can be. Could be various wools; alpaca, chasmere, Marino.. hell I’d even take mohair over poly. Viscose would be nice but it’s not a warm lining. Various plant cellulose based fabrics can make nice and light linings with a satin feel.

[@Oomph6006]

@@richeyrich2203 But then $200-400 is not enough.. Polyester is very good for recycling and will be a big part our future.. Lots of plastic can be re-used to produce polyester... I like the idea..

[@Oomph6006]

@@richeyrich2203 Then $200-400 wont be enough. I would prefer wool and cotton also but polyester is better for recycling. Polyester can be 100% recycled and fibers can be extracted from plastic bottles and other similar waste products - as an example, five water bottles provide enough fibers for a t-shirt. Recycled polyester thereby gives new life to material that could otherwise end up in the landscape or oceans. Both Wool and Cotton is pretty hard for the environment.. I dont know how much cellulose based fabrics affect the cellulose based fabrics..

[@HeritageCast]

Please do a budget friendly one... Even if I was wealthy and not a student. Theres no way im spending $400 plus on a waxed jacket... Now a custom all wool overcoat with a fur lining now thats worth $500 plus..

[@StrayReviews]

This one is only $90. I thought about reviewing it but they don’t have my size amzn.to/3NITYmj

[@jkamp]

The perspective is unique in how we see things. I got the flannel lined trucker for like $260 before the price jump last year and it’s one of my least expensive jackets. I do enjoy it though and recently posted the Hudson to go with it. The bulk of my jackets are American made leather though.

[@StrayReviews]

@@jkamp Hard to beat American made leather. It runs on the expensive side though.

[@EzaVinylAddict]

Unlined pockets are a deal breaker for me

[@StrayReviews]

The flannel-lined and wool-lined waxed truckers are now lined on the knuckle side. Much appreciated!

[@EzaVinylAddict]

@@StrayReviews I want full lined I mean the palms get cold to you know! LOL

Very nice!

[@SolidSnake_1776]

I can't stand the look of clothing that isn't symmetrical. Drives me crazy when they choose to put pockets on one side.

Gotta evenly distribute that EDC. 👍

[@BWM135]

​​@@StrayReviewsA LOT of your content is from a hand full of companies. Huckberry (Who owns Flint and Tinder) being chief among them. Disclosures should be at the front of the video (See Stridewise and other respected creators). And detail whether you got free stuff to just use or to KEEP, got paid otherwise in cash or in kind, and so forth. You said your opinions are your own, fair enough. Does Huckberry have copy approval over your content? Do they see your vids before we do? You make vids with good, if not standout production value. I know how long it takes to edit even simple videos and the cost of some of the equipment. Credit where it's due, your content is very good, if seeming a bit "Rehearsed." If you got $1500 worth of high-interest jackets to make content on and keep, plus your affiliate links, plus a chance to go from a "Stray" to a "Subbed Creator" through the algorithm, that seems like pretty fair comp for you on this one.

[@StrayReviews]

@@BWM135 Thanks! The reason you see so many of the same brands on my channel is because so few companies are willing to send out review samples to a smaller channel like mine (and I'd never be able to go and buy it all). Huckberry was actually the first company to reach out to me to see if I'd be interested in reviewing their stuff. They don't see any of my videos before they're posted (nor do any of the other companies) and they don't get any approval rights, since it's not "sponsored content". If it were, I'd let you know up front. I don't get paid for any of it (but I do get to keep the products). I also get a small commission when someone uses my affiliate links, and I get a little for the ads that run. If my delivery seems a bit rehearsed, it's because I use a teleprompter. If I don't, then my videos take forever to edit because I ramble without a script. Have a great holiday!
