Good stuff! So much info packed into 15 minutes, and I love seeing Carl and Mike making cameos!

[@AJ-by6pd]

I bought the jacket in your video and the the only issue I had is the arm length. Luckily, I knew a great tailor and was able to get that fixed. If they were to improve the jacket, I’d recommend they put lining in the pockets as well. On a side note, I also agree with you about unlined waxed canvas jackets. They feel sticky and wet, which is kind of uncomfortable.

[@Stridewise]

Huckberry's Bighorn is the best lightweight, not very lined one I've tried. Not too stuffy!

[@aradoran]

Picked up the Flint and Tinder Bighorn a few weeks ago. My first waxed canvas jacket. At first I wasn’t sure about the shirt tail style, but it’s growing on me. Wearing it out right now. Love it.

[@Stridewise]

It's so good right? I'm torn between bringing that and a green militaryish field jacket on my next trip

[@kibiego]

Thoughts on the Waxed Canvas Field Jacket from Thursday?

[@Stridewise]

Canvas is much thicker but it’s not made in USA, so it depends what you prioritize!

[@bladerealm124]

@@Stridewise do you have a review of the Thursday jacket coming? I'm curious to see more comparisons of the Thursday vs the Flint and Tinder. I like the more neutral liner in the Thursday.

[@camerongallagher8610]

I’ve had my waxed trucker wool lined for 2 or 3 years now, absolutely love it. I layer it when I’m out in the desert camping and it keeps me warm in 35degree weather with a sweatshirt underneath. It’s tough as nails too and gets lots of compliments. Love huckberry and the flint and tinder stuff

[@CRHK88]

Love this jacket, being 5'10" 175 lbs, I was recommended to go with large, but the arms were way too long, so I had to exchange for a medium and now it fits perfectly, great fall and spring jacket. Also, I have the Iron & Resin Cruiser jacket, love that one too. It's heavier and flannel lined so great for colder weather and unlike the Flint and Tinder, it has bi-swing back so works great as a work coat.

[@eliotopian]

Duluth stopped making theirs, but it was $78 end of last year, with cotton lining "Men's AKHG Claimstake Waxed Trucker Jacket" I love mine. wish they brought it back in more colors

[@matthias8574]

I have the Iron & Resin Scout jacket recommended in the video and love it! It’s not made in the US, but the canvas is thicker, it has a corduroy collar which is softer to the skin, the pockets are lined (which is a huge improvement) and the lining is 100% cotton plus it has a zipper. Absolutely prefer it over the T&F due to those features.

[@Stridewise]

Yeah I don't personally love the contrasting collar look but the thicker canvas and cotton lining definitely elevate it, solid jacket!

[@zncuentertainment712]

It's so much nicer than the Flint and Tinder jacket.

[@kongmw]

How would you clean the collar and cuffs of a waxed jacket? I can live with the body and sleeves looking “lived in” but inside collar can look really gross especially when usually worn over a tshirt or otherwise un-collared shirt. That’s about the only thing that’s kept me from getting the waxed trucker.

[@Huckberryco]

yo! we recommend spot cleaning with cool, clean water. Washing, cry cleaning or soaking will damage the waxed layer and make it difficult to rewax

[@simongrushka983]

"it's all natural!" - meanwhile most of the waxed jackets are waxed using paraffin or paraffin/beeswax mixture. it's still more natural than goratex thou.

[@oidokun]

For waxing, you can just rub otterwax on it and it will look fine. No heat gun needed

[@uncannyfox]

"Their closest analog is probably the tin cloth short LINED cruiser jacket" "but the body is unlined" shows image of FIlson jacket that is clearly lined and mentions it in the name. 🤣

[@AlexanderIgnatiev]

Schott NYC Countryman is great, but I think it's discontinued. They have one 2XL left, and a couple of smalls. Selling for $100 right now.

[@AlexanderIgnatiev]

It's longer than a trucker jacket, but still great.

[@Huckberryco]

Hell of a breakdown - thanks for the love!

[@HaydenHero]

I just ordered the wool one! As someone from New Jersey I couldn’t believe that not only is it American made but it’s made in my home state, which is basically unheard of! Pretty excited to get it.

[@justind9019]

I picked up the Thursday waxed jacket as soon as I was notified it dropped. I absolutely love it! The fit is perfect on me and it looks amazing. I’m very happy with my purchase. Highly recommend.

[@Stridewise]

Yeah I think they used their athletic pattern for that one, I need to try it out!

[@gandalf3453]

You’re probably the only one with a review (even if it’s small) off the rancher jacket. I think it’s slept on. Thanks for the sizing tip. That’s all I was looking for :)

[@Stridewise]

god i'm SO glad somebody was looking for that information and found it, i feel so useful! looks like they aren't doing the black color anymore but that jacket is still really really cool and toasty warm

[@gandalf3453]

@@Stridewise totally fine because I’m getting the classic field tan! It’s starting to get to winter here in Wisconsin and if I like this jacket, I’ll probably get the flannel lined one for fall next year per your recommendation. They both look get!

[@Czechbound]

I read that the wardrobe department on "The Last of Us" de-waxed the jacket for use in the show. For me, these are spring/ autumn jackets. The lack of breathability makes you sweat if you exert yourself even a little ( eg running up subway steps ). I bought a Barbour waxed jacket that has a nylon lining and it's basically unwearable. But it would probably cost too much to get the lining swapped out for brushed cotton or wool.

[@Stridewise]

I wonder how they dewaxed it! I noticed it wasn't waxy, so it matches mine very well haha. Wax is cool but really slays the breathability for sure

[@rhithym]

A lot of people don't like the length of the sleeves, but I find it perfect for motorcycling, which is one of its advertised purposes.

[@Stridewise]

yeah i never had issues with the sleeve length, and i don't have long arms

[@PacdemonStudios1]

I've had this for a while, very functional jacket, super easy to re-wax since it isn't bulky, and with a scarf and wool sweater I've done 0 degree (F) days in the snow and been dry and very comfortable. I got it as a gift and was worried it would just be a fashion thing (full respect to menswear kings out there I also like to look good but I'm a function first guy) but it's actually just a really solid, durable weatherproof jacket that happens to make you look great. I like it enough to actually go out and comment about it, if that goes to show how satisfied I am with it.

[@CatalystOfFire]

I got a Gustin waxed Type 3 and it rules. Definitely recommend.

[@albertmanuel5028]

I do too. I bought the unlined model for only $130. This is definitely the best bang for your buck.

[@CatalystOfFire]

@Albert Manuel absolutely!! Bit of a wait, but I'm in the northeastern US and I couldn't have worn it before today anyway.

[@RobertKirkpatrick84]

Trucker jackets never seem to fit my torso well, I have since found myself exclusively using chore coats since trying out the Taylor stitch Ojai you reviewed. Cannot recommend enough the Bradley Mountain Edison, and the Tellason Coverall. I picked both up on black Friday and I get so many compliments.

[@Daywalker222]

About 4 years ago when American Eagle still made descent stuff, they were selling a dark beige trucker style jacket that is very lightly waxed. Chest pocket on the left has no flap and has rivets on both sides of the packet seam end's. It fit's the bill, perfectly! I paid around $25 for it🤣

[@ziaride]

I have an old Cabellas waxed jacket that is my favorite and also warmest thing I own. Longer than a trucker jacket with the bottom 10 inches or so lined with flannel and the rest lined with sherpa/faux shearling. Also my cats favorite, any time I am not wearing it she'll find it and make a bed out of it.

[@adamr63]

I like the Western one the best. I just ordered a Schaefer Outfitters High Plains Drifter taffeta lined one in their Rangewax canvas, they also have some very well priced and high quality waxed jackets in a few different weights and models, including a really nice unlined short brush jacket and a few longer onces with a drawstring waist and some nice Western piping trim, very cool look and very functional as well, being cut for maximum movement, which is often sacrificed in the slimmer cut . I was torn between getting a used (not presently produced except in a collaboration branded version) Filson Mile Marker and the Drifter but the Western styling of the Schaefer won me over. If you can afford more and want a great blanket lined trucker, Freenote Cloth makes the coolest one around, by far - I've worn the heck out of mine over the last two years, and can highly recommend it. Great soft lining, perfect slim cut (though not great for layering more than one layer), and super tough 10oz. Martexin waxed canvas. Just thought I'd mention a few options that get less attention than the usual suspects.

[@joshuamoore9328]

Excellent review as always! I’m in the market for a waxed canvas jacket (even though it’s getting warmer) and I noticed Thursday recently released one! I wonder how theirs compares with this gem from Flint and Tinder...

[@Stridewise]

Basically theirs is thicker and a bit cheaper, but made in Portugal, so it depends on your priorities! I should give it a proper review though

[@kosta2177]

I wanted to get an Over Under Briar Jacket in gray but they didn’t have it in my size so I went with a made in england Peregrine Bexley. i also got a Roland Sands Design jacket with canvas body and leather sleeves for riding.

[@D_Jilla]

Gentlemen, can we discuss how we can clean the lining of leather jack and wax canvas? The lining is going to be right next to the body and your decade old armpit sweat is definitely there. Does anyone have experience? I'm going to try cleaning the lining of a leather jacket i thrifted by bathing it in the tub with shampoo/ detergent for delicats, then moisturizing after it dries. Wish me luck!

[@gttone323]

I wouldn’t bath a leather jacket in water. You can take it to a tailor and get it re-lined

[@caseyzaft6734]

The N1 deck jacket by Iron Heart in black is the BEST by far, though stride wise should’ve bought the XL!

[@Stridewise]

Excellent video as always. Flint and Tinder waxed jackets have become an obsession for me. Embarrassed to admit it, but I own three - flannel, wool, and rancher. It takes all of my willpower to not buy number four.

[@Huckberryco]

love it!

[@johnfarel3152]

Yeah I’m tempted to get the wool lined in a different color from my flannel lined one

[@rickjensen1480]

I have many waxed (tin cloth) coats, jackets, pants and chaps. Some as old as thirty years. I have actually used mine for hunting and working outdoors. I have to be honest, it kind of strikes me as funny that you consider them fashionable. I guess I'm just old. Good review as always although I think that for real work outdoors anything under 14 oz. is a little light. But for Spring and Summer in Brooklyn 14 oz. would be too heavy by far. It looks very well made and being made here is always a huge plus to me. I really enjoy your channel and reviews. Keep up the good work.

[@brycebennett7583]

I bought this jacket a couple years ago. I love it. The only issue I have with it is the flannel lining in the sleeves. My right sleeve seems to have an access amount of flannel lining and it’s all bunched up inside making it tighter than my left sleeve. Not a big deal but it’s kind of annoying

[@Stridewise]

that sounds annoying. probably an alterations place could fix it

[@aradoran]

Nick will you please do a vid on your watch roll and watch collection? I’m interested in what watches a fellow boot guy wears.

[@Stridewise]

[@aradoran]

@@Stridewise I’m not a huge watch guy either but have learned a little about the different styles/movements. Pretty interesting. I know the Hamilton field watch is a respectable “budget” automatic. I heard they’ve released a Hamilton “Murph” based off the watch from Interstellar…pretty cool. That Omega sounds legit. Gotta treasure those gifts from parents/grandparents. I’ve got a couple of watches I enjoy just nothing above the “budget” category.

[@curtshelp6170]

Have you seen the Wintergreen waxed cotton trail jacket? Expensive but flannel lined and hooded rain coat.

[@PaulAndBiscuit]

@stridewise Could you still layer under the rancher after you sized down?

[@Miggy290]

I know it's a different style, but I think a mention of Barbour in the discussion of alternative waxed jackets would have been appropriate. They're usually a bit more expensive but they can be had around this price range and even under when on sale. END is actually selling the Barbour Ashby jacket for $259, which is an incredible bargain. I have a Bedale myself and I love it -- it's incredibly versatile, as it has a removeable hood and an optional vest liner for insulation, plus moleskin lined hand warmer pockets for colder weather. I like Flint and Tinder's trucker jacket, too, but it's definitely less functional. On a sidenote, I actually managed to snag one for my boyfriend on sale from Huckberry for around $120 a few years ago. Crazy how prices have climbed!

[@Stridewise]

I have a Bedale vs Beaufort comparison coming up actually! There are a billion waxed jackets out there and with this video being about THAT jacket I thought best to just mention jackets like it if you're gravitating toward the style. I know that hoods are more functional but I just prefer without em

[@IamIzayis]

I’m 5”8 I’d say average build.. I have 2 Levi’s jackets in Large that fit me perfect, and also a jacket from Hart and huntington that is Medium but fits like a large.. t shirts I normally wear xl as they end up shrinking and a lot of the Large ones fit too tight afterwards.. wonder if the rancher in Large would make sense for me, or should I look at the Medium one? I like how the jacket looks on you because it’s not so big and bulky looking yet, doesn’t appear to be very restrictive either.. you appear taller so just curious on the best choice on the size of the rancher for me.. that’s the thing that sucks about buying online.. if I could find a brick and mortar that sold these I’d just go and try one on) thanks hope to get some input, really digging that jacket

[@adamh8876]

Great vid. I really like the charcoal colour but the flannel-lined version only has “light grey”, which seems lighter, and “coal” which looks a lot darker in the product shots. Do you happen to know if either are actually similar to the “charcoal”?

[@Stridewise]

That's so frustrating! I would normally assume "Light Grey" (flannel) and "Charcoal" (wool) are the same, but remember wool and flannel have different canvas, wool's is thicker. so you can't assume they're using the same canvas in both. I'd trust the pics, but huckberry are pretty responsive on site if you want to confirm.
