The Ultimate Adventure Jacket - Tom Beckbe Tensaw Waxed Jacket

[@aceonweb]

These brands are lucky to have someone who can so eloquently and thoughtfully review their wares by someone who can speak to both blue and white collar workers. Keep them coming!

[@ryano8982]

I was looking for a nice waxed jacket as an outer layer. Something I could ware out clearing brush or hunting, but nice enough to ware into town if my wife wanted to go out for the evening. One of your other videos convinced me that Tom Beckbe was the way to go. A few months owning it and I couldn't thank you enough. I love it. Fantastic outdoor work jacket, and whenever I'm out and about I've had multiple people comment and ask what brand it was. Thanks again for recommending this wonderful jacket.

[@nickmagma7745]

This channel is like the small brands you bring to light, small and unknow but gold in quality. I don’t understand how you’re not more popular. Keep doing what you do Carl.

[@colechampion7872]

I love my Tensaw jacket! I’ve had it a few years and originally used it as a casual jacket. Eventually I got it out in the woods as a hunting jacket and love it even more. The more it wears in the better it looks. It handles the briars and brush awesome and keeps light rain, mist, and the spray from the boat at bay nicely!

[@ahmedsalek976]

69k subs.... nice. Also, the "I'm so done with this shit" look on your face every time you mess up in the bloopers is priceless 😂

[@CarlMurawski]

Hahahaha, I'm trying not to flip the table over and lose my shit!

[@Basboy]

Nice

[@chadmatejcek1909]

I love my Tensaw jacket. It's a tank. Super comfy too.

[@operamatthew]

ordered one for the wife and the hat for her as well. this jacket and other brands you cover has helped her get out of the mall and designer brands and get something of true quality for the same price.

[@HarrisonHughes1]

Just received this jacket as a gift from my wife my birthday. I had no idea clothing this nice existed. Blown away by the look, feel, and quality. Awesome review!

[@jonathanmcphail5254]

In this day and age, I know a subscription to a paper magazine is crazy. However, I smile every time Garden and Gun hits my mailbox. It’s here that I learned about TB a few years ago. At the time they had one item...this jacket. Maybe a hat too. Great company. Appears to have a great culture to go along with it.

[@stagrye228]

Thank you for sharing this with me. I'm now looking for something like this that is made here and looks great.

[@stevenlonergan9180]

I wore a belt staff waxed cotton for years motorcycling around the country. I’m not sure bill staff is still made but that was a great jacket

[@simonsimonc]

Great vids. You need to check out the heavier 10oz Barbours of the 90s such as the Craster or Longshoreman. They're proper tough

[@michaeldulmage8449]

Thinking of pulling the trigger on an 8oz. Still kicking it around. Thanks for the review 👍👍👍

[@clarencehopkins7832]

Excellent stuff bro

[@AJFRAN3]

Im between this and the filson field jacket. What do you think

[@mrln5526]

Excellent video, thank you.

[@CarlMurawski]

Thank you for watching!

[@eriche8870]

Carl have you looked at Atlantic Rancher Salt Farm Jacket, i got mine its so neat definitely can compete with this the fabric is weather resistant its waxed but very dry that it dont feel wet like other waxed jacket

[@rkl4242]

Great review. You should try the Ship John Willis jacket. It is second to none.

[@CarlMurawski]

Thats DEFINITELY on the list!!!

[@burgundycowboy]

Hey Carl, would love to see a video on Ben Davis from you!

[@CarlMurawski]

I actually bought a few pieces from Ben Davis and am wearing them now. I know they have a pretty loyal following!

[@FlannelGorilla]

@@CarlMurawski also been waiting for that!

[@klb3293]

I am very pleased with my Tensaw Jacket, I also got the TB vest for added insulation. The vest is impressive as well with two way zipper inside and outside pockets with snaps and zippers, rugged too

[@larrymccready5636]

Just got a Tom Beckbe Tensaw ES. Love it! It is very rugged looking and stylish. I have two Barbour waxed jackets, and this Tensaw ES is a notch above. It is warmer and was comfortable from the moment I put it on. I also have a Tom Beckbe Sportsman’s vest, and it is just as rugged and stylish and functional. Great products.

[@limelight1439]

I was lucky enough to thrift a made in the USA Carhartt with a similar layout, and similar pockets. Can’t get enough of it. These are fantastic layering pieces

[@ZakHancock]

Good to see you are a man of the pipe. Personal favorite blend is Quiet Nights. Would highly recommend.

[@lucaswhite3850]

The outtakes are the best! 😂😂😂

[@kawpow9880]

Truman boot co baby!!!! Nice vid. I've looked at this jacket for a long time always liked it. Glad you reviewed it!!!

[@michaeldulmage8449]

Carl have you ever purchased anything from gaston glock. I bought a loden wool coat for hunting in. Very nice 👌 I was lucky to get it at 50 % off regular price so I jumped at it.

[@jefftimmerman8192]

Would love to see you review the Flint and Tinder Hudson it looks very similar to this!

[@CarlMurawski]

I'm hoping to pick one up soon!

[@ELEVOPR]

I have something like this I purchased from Or is about a year ago. Except it has a nice hood attached. I think it was called the Wescox Price was about $549 it was a Collaboration made with Barbour and Orvis Jacket, I inded up paying about $178 with all the Discount and discount code added, I thought it was an error from $549. Purchase went through and Jacket "Wescox" is now in my Arsenal. Ar almost same price as the Jacket your are reviewing $495. This Jacket Kinda Reminds me of a longer Barbour Bedale Jacket, somewhat. Nice Jacket for sure, Thanks for sharing.

[@Smittenmocha]

Could a reasonable alternative to the tenses be the FnT Hudson jacket? I know you have some alternates, but the FnT is about $150 less than the tensaw. Thanks!

[@canadafree2087]

Out of my price range but I like that they are made is USA and still have hunting features and hunting gear.

[@steves1749]

I have my Barbour for 35 years and just had it rewaxed. Should last another 35 years. So I’m sticking with it.

[@CarlMurawski]

I would too!

[@honestguy7764]

I have to rewax my barbours on a yearly basis.

[@steves1749]

@@honestguy7764 I guess because I don’t wear it that much

[@sdemosi]

That's the thing about Barbour. They build to last & their repair & maintenance service will keep a jacket going for decades. The company is still family owned & they haven't changed their high quality ethos when other brands have become a bit "fast fashion". One of the few genuine Buy It For Life brands out there. Although I like the look of this Tensaw style Carl is reviewing. It looks sophisticated with impressive detailing.

[@deantreloar]

I’m a Barbour man. When I see Tom Beckbe, their style and marketing depictions, they appear to be trying way too hard to achieve a quintessentially British look. The Beckbe Tensaw jacket looks like it was taken straight from Barbour’s design book.

[@Bimmerrx7]

Nice review! Supposedly the name is a take on the Tombigbee River which is on the border of Alabama and Mississippi. They have some really nice weekender bags as well.

[@scottowl75]

Looks a nice coat , I still love my barbours though. The one yank coat I do really like though is the flint and tinder trucker , definitely on my wish list.

[@CarlMurawski]

Fair enough! They're both great options!

[@sparrowgrrl618]

I'd be interested to see you review WeatherWool products, which are made in USA. Wonder how their jackets would hold up compared to waxed cotton....

[@thekeeper5588]

All those jackets shown in this video look great. All are expensive tho,I need a raise

[@alexreiser6325]

That thumbnail immediately brings me back to Red Dead Redemption. "I seen your name in our ledger..."

[@michaeldulmage8449]

Beckbe also has tall sizes

[@drewsullivan8158]

I would love to see a review of the over under clothing waxed jacket. Looks like a true heritage item

[@Saw_Squatch]

You should check Stormy Kromer's wool and waxed canvas vests, they're a real competitive option to the filson vests and their hats are pure classic american work/sporting wear

[@neilmadadi985]

Love the hat!

[@catchthedream1142]

Lol I love the bloopers

[@sdlstr91]

This might be a weird request, but would you be able to make a video one day about “Wax Jacket Maintenance”? I know they cannot be machine washed so there have to be other ways to clean them over time, I just don’t know because I’ve only had 1 waxed jacket (huckberry).

[@PhilMakesThings]

Another great video Carl - I really appreciate your attention to detail on all the products you review (rather than just read the spec. off the packaging). Sadly, while Tom Beckbe will ship internationally, with UPS and taxes it pushes the price into $600 range... which is a bit steep for my wallet. Have you any thoughts on Orvis (specifically the Heritage Field Coat) which I can buy here in the UK. Looking forward to the next video... whatever that may be.

[@robertlarsen6516]

Outtro made me laugh!

[@CarlMurawski]

SO much time is spent just repeating the same line because it's not perfect. This is a good way to illustrate how silly it can be!

[@anthonya.2871]

Hey man! I’m in a pickle. I try to grab a new jacket each year. Im trying to decide between Tinsaw and Filson Mackinaw Cruiser. I completely understand they are different jackets but I like both (I think 🤔 Never worn either) and can only get one. I will wear for either for just about anything I do. Mostly casual city, out and about life. Which do you recommend??? Help me 😭 Thank you! 😁

[@redskeith4737]

I really love how this jacket looks, my only concern is the sizing, I'm not a huge person but I'm not slim most of my stuff is XL and is fairly form fitting, any suggestions I'm 5'9 at 250

[@degmar]

I have a Tensaw. Great jacket and I love it. However, they are missing a huge opportunity by not offering a hood. I ended up buying a Barbour hood and having snaps installed to attach it with.

[@HellaBlazedCat]

Was that easy to install? I live in Oregon so I'd definitely love a hood with this jacket!

[@johnharrington2400]

I have the Tensaw and the Tensaw vest. These jackets will last a lifetime and anything of quality that serves a purpose and lasts a lifetime is worth $600.00 The vest is equally perfect.

[@joshuawalker301]

Great product!

[@Ruizbr83]

What type of pipe is that in the thumbnail? It’s rare to find other pipe smokers in the day and age. Normally I go for VaPers, but now that it’s colder an lighter English blend is pretty nice too Cheers

[@airmobiledivision7759]

Carl, Do factory-waxed clothes leave a residue on things (chairs, car seats, other clothes, etc.)? Does the jacket that you waxed yourself? Thanks in advance!

[@guinn2415]

You need to check out Burke and Will's oilskins/waxed jackets

[@michaelshearer3559]

The Tensaw is the best product they have by far, and better design than the MileMarker by Filson. It's been on my short list past 2 years, but have a chance to get a new Mackinaw Lined Cruiser in Black that is calling my name. I can justify purchase easier by getting more months out of it per season.

[@sneaky.vampire]

Not gonna lie, the first few seconds I was wondering what happened to the color of my monitor.

The gustin waxed jackets are awesome. All made in the usa using natural materials at only $150!!! Flint and tinder ain’t got nothing on that.

[@1eparry]

Does it fit true to size or did you have to size up or down?

[@CarlMurawski]

This is a size large and I'd say its true to size but generously cut.

[@gunailabai]

For a small company trying to build up its brand, Tom Beckbe somehow has the worst customer service I've yet to experience. Never did I have an address not lighting up as green on someone's computer lead to two weeks of no communication despite e-mails, phone calls and reaching out via social media on a paid for order. To keep it short, a discrepancy between GIS and physical addresses not being updated there yet in my rural international location has halted an order, with no further communication past the initial request for an updated address some two weeks ago. Somehow this was never an unresolvable issue with dozens of prior orders from the US, some of which for more valuable goods than the Tensaw jacket I have ordered as a birthday present for my father.

[@CarlMurawski]

Damn, that’s really disappointing to hear.

[@gunailabai]

@@CarlMurawski kudos for checking in on comments this long into a video's lifespan. Most certainly. I've been eying the jacket ever since you've posted this detailed video, and ordered it for my father with a future one for myself certain in mind as well. Alas, even if by some miracle they actually do get back to me within the next day or two, before I make up my mind to ask for a refund, the experience has soured my perception of the brand a fair amount. I ordered a twill shirt for myself alongside the to-be-gifted jacket, and I simply don't see myself wearing it with how things stand. Naturally my dad is unaware of this all so if the order does end up being fulfilled he'll get to enjoy the jacket, and I'll gift the shirt elsewhere. In contrast, a recent order of boots from Parkhurst had a similar discrepancy (I assume this is to do with both using Shopify), but that was resolved with an e-mail exchange within that very day followed by expedited processing on their end seeing how it was a Friday. While I did not expect this extent of excellent customer support from Tom Becke, I also didn't expect them to 'ghost' me in a manner akin to a teenager avoiding their boyfriend or girlfriend in hopes that they'd pick up on the signs and break up with them (i.e. I suspect that they'd rather I just cancelled my order altogether). I'll likely have to end up getting him one of the British jackets instead, even though I'm quite certain he'd have enjoyed the Tensaw a great deal more.

[@Taintmagic]

I'm 6'2" and around 240 lbs. I'm not sure what your measurements are but I usually wear an XL in everything. Im hoping this jacket would also fit me. I just ordered the "Axe" chinos from Kato and I'm hoping they fit!

[@larrymccready5636]

I am 6’3 “, 210 lbs., and these jackets are generously cut. I would recommend getting the XLT. Becke has a tall option , and it is perfect for my long arms.

[@IdeaStudioBKK]

Nice review, the jackets seems to be a bit warm for my use. lol ;-)

[@cityinplan]

I have two - hardwood like you show and the new camo - they’re amazing. Taproom, duck blind, clays range, they do it all. Also highly recommend the sporting vest from them, same deal in a three season setup.

[@d05wtt]

The Tensaw (8oz) and the Tensaw ES (6oz) are the same price at $495. Why would I pay the same price for a jacket (ES) that has less? SMH.

[@honestguy7764]

What I found for a lifelong experience, its that no waxed apparel is recommended for freezing weather. They are uncomfortable to wear as they tend to become rigid....and insulation is minimal

[@srqsup]

Intersting. I live in Alaska and use my Filson waxed canvas jacket daily and never had a problem with stiffness.

[@sdemosi]

The Northern European brand Fjallraven waterproofs some products with Greenland wax. They're a famously durable & expensive brand & the stores will vary the wax by season. You can see people bringing in their jackets and pants to get the thickness of the wax coating reduced during the coldest months and thickened for autumn.

[@M82RKY]

Very nice..... But Barbour does the job👌

[@callumpage7798]

Barbour baufort a far better option. Also has a rear game pocket. Can get one I’m here for around £200

[@scannerhaiback5188]

Love my jacket and the brand!

[@stefanmentor8450]

Idk what anyone says, you have the best sense of style on KZbin,

[@strouth64]

I think the Tensaw would be the jacket for me if it weren’t for the fact that the sleeves are so long.

[@benm.2551]

I like everything about the Tensaw, with the exception of the polyester lining for the sleeves. I would have loved it lined fully with cotton.

[@CarlMurawski]

The only issue with that is it tends to hang up on your midlayer. A slippery fabric makes putting it on and taking it off much easier.

[@jongwood]

Although the Tom Bekbe is good, it's not the ultimate wax jacket. Check out the Private White V.C. Twin Track Wax Jacket for the very best.
