Waxed jackets -- the best sign that fall fashion is upon us. Today we are looking at 4 waxed jackets from Huckberry, Bradley Mountain, Rogue Territory, and Freenote Cloth! This officially begins (even though technically it began last year) THE WAXED JACKET OLYMPICS! We'll be looking at how waxed jackets fit, who I think would like to wear certain ones, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I may need to do a video on how to care for waxed jackets soon.
Bye.

[@PocketUau]

As a gift for graduating from university, I was given a Barbour Ashby with a fur lined insert. My family was modestly in a low point where my father had lost his job and we were surviving on fumes, but his sacrifices led me to complete higher education. I insisted on not buying that jacket because of its price point, but three years later, it’s in my wardrobe, and I’ll gladly keep wearing it well into my adulthood, wax on, wax off, always reminding me of the love and perseverance that runs in my family.

[@ytubs]

Beautiful.

[@amirabbaslotfi1191]

Hope you and your kind family all the best

[@jacoblowery7203]

I thought waxed jackets were weird and impractical for years until I bought a Filson short lined cruiser jacket before a 1500 mile motorcycle road trip. Four years later, it's one of my favorite and most prized garments. It's warm, durable, has an impeccable cut, and absorbs so much character from the environment you use it in. That one's obviously not on your list here, but between this video and your waxed jacket video from a few months ago, it's great seeing waxed jackets get some well-deserved love and attention. Love your stuff.

[@CarlMurawski]

Awesome video my dude! Personally I love that Freenote jacket, its a beaut' Clark!

[@michaellumpkinss7368]

I’ve asked u for a long time now to review one !! Hell. I’ll send u one of mine to review ! I have every single color made Carl !! 🎉😂

[@corensam]

Okay. Totally agree with you about wanting a lining. The wool lined Supply Jacket is one of my most worn pieces. Also picked up an insane alpaca fur lined Riders Jacket from Revolvr (cool West/PNW retailer) last spring. Crazy warm but about to be the best winter jacket ever made once it finally gets cold enough to break it out

[@34blockyer]

This was crazy helpful!!! Been looking for a new waxed jacket and this helped alot. Thanks!

[@Brajin1]

These videos are great and hilarious. I’m thinking about getting one of these jackets vs the Barbour waxed coat.

[@ajlafferty9694]

Your videos have the perfect timing as I’m shopping for one of these on huckberry. Thanks for another great video👍

[@aaronlawrence6350]

I've got the flannel-lined Huckberry jacket, had it for about a month, absolutely love it. I think the wool-lined version would be warmer, but that's not really what I wanted this jacket for, I have heavier garments for when it's actually cold outside. I wanted like a late Fall / early Spring jacket, when there's some wind and sleet and rain but it's still like 50 degrees, and the flannel is perfect for that.

[@soldiers23]

I owe a Flannel-Lined Quilted Waxed Rancher jacket from Huckberry.Super comfortable and worn.Excellent for the cold winter weather.

[@Benjels480]

YEAH. I request more Bradley Mountain content please. I want a review of the new bomber if you were so inclined to get one.

I own several Filson lined and unlined waxed jackets in different styles and cuts. I enjoy them all. Even my lady has Filson jackets.

[@carrotdotlink]

Crushed this video as usual! Added a few of those recs to our own Carrot ;)

[@Paddythefriendlykiwi]

Just got the Hucberry Hudson; the trucker's less popular but more rugged and secretly sexy brother that everyone fancies when they turn 30. It's epic. The build is better and more robust than my Barbour Duke. Has handwarmers under waist pockets which is just the most civilised thing you can do (take not Barbour Duke makers), and is fully lined with some understated plaid cosiness, and unlike my RGT Supply (which I fucking adore), actually keeps rain out as opposed to seducing each droplet and welcoming it in for a martini and a shag. Why does nobody talk about the Hudson? It's a god damn megababe of a jacket.

[@AndyAdventuring]

I have the Rogue Territory. It looks fantastic on me, and it has aged incredibly well. I ride a motorcycle, so all the dirt, dust, smog, etc. you pick up while riding has made the jacket look very cool.

[@aaronlawrence6350]

I have the Huckberry version with the flannel lining, worn it for about a month, absolutely love it. As I'm sure you know, it's been rainy as hell around NYC lately, and colder, and this jacket has been fantastic.

[@Tristannn303]

Nice I’m about to get one. I live up in Oregon and if you don’t know the Pacific NW is known for rain so I’m hoping that the waxed canvas will keep me dry.

[@KimballPrecisionRifles]

That’s funny timing. I just got my Freenote cloth riders jacket in Oak today. I wear an XL in most shirts, mostly due to my wide shoulders and large chest. The XL fits perfectly. Sleeves are an inch or so too long, but I’ll live with it, could have them mended I’m sure, but it’s completely usable. I’m 5’10” so that’s the main issue with the sleeve length.

[@jkamp]

Kace from Yellowstone wears the Freenote Rider, too. Double famous guys jackets! Another good one to look at - Iron & Resin Rambler jacket. It's also US made and unlined. They have a lined version (Scout) which is also very nice, but not US made. Their Cruiser jacket is bigger and thicker, kind of a competitor to the Ship John Wills jacket on a budget.

[@TonySop]

Freenote rider jacket is my best purchase of all time! Such a phenomenal jacket. Please people, don’t sleep on the Freenote rider jacket!!!

[@casuallyworked4698]

I just bought a black one and it is beautiful, my only concern is size. Did yours end up stretching at the shoulders/chest?

[@TonySop]

@@casuallyworked4698 I ordered a large and it ended up fitting like a glove. My best fitting jacket. I wouldn’t say it stretched a ton but it did loosen up a little the more I wear it. I rarever button these style of jackets though.

[@Dosdal]

Eh pockey seem a little weird on it.. its pretty pricey.. and its suspiciousley hard to figure out how/where their cloth are made..

[@Kingston-li2lj]

I’ve got the Huckberry (Flint n Tinder) jacket with a flannel lining and absolutely love it. It also comes with a wool lining if you live in cooler climates. My only issue with the jacket is the buttons at the bottom of the jacket (sides) you can use to give it a more fitted look. At times the inside edge of the button gets caught on pants belt loops. Whilst nothing major it is a minor issue that could be fixed with a small modification.

[@kevinleyva3003]

I’ve had my Cabin jacket for about 3 years and been loving it since. Got mine back when they had a 100% wool lining

Yeah i went on Bradley Mountain’s site and was disappointed to see all their jackets have only wool blend linings. The cabin jacket is only 50% wool. That’s severely disappointing for that price.

[@roadtripthrifts]

I thrifted a brand new Huckberry waxed trucker jacket for 10 bucks last year. Fits me like a glove and so comfortable.

[@ttslider2957]

What a find!

[@focusandpresson]

The Freenote looks so great

[@ThisIsFrankLucas]

I own both the flannel lined and wool lined Flint and Tinder trucker jackets.

[@mountainstream8351]

That was funny. I'm on the hunt for a waxed jacket for women that can be worn in warm weather. Tried two lightweight Barbour jackets but they didn't fit. Now I'm waiting for spring for new stock.

[@jasonkrasowski4673]

My dude,! Ya gotta tell us which one was your favorite!! I’ve had the RT jacket for over a year now and my #1 lesson learned is… you want a liner in a waxed jacket. Nothing worse than sweating, even just a bit and having it just stick to your skin as the jacket doesn’t breath. That, and because the RT is such a specific fit caused me to go on the hunt for a new waxed jacket. And after trying the Huckberry and Filson I went with the lined Huckberry. The Filson was nice but looked too much like a work coat and I’m happy to sacrifice a bit of the style the RT jacket has, for a jacket that is more versatile. If someone here is looking for a deal on the RT in a M, hit me up. Cheers!!

[@xjoexedge]

I jsut got my RTG waxed jacket last week and it has been amazing. I got mine in a size a bit larger to I could layer my iron heart flanel and a hoodie and the fit is still nice and slim. I think the only complaint I have are the sleeves being to long and the cuff opening to large but I will see in a few weeks and see what stacking happens.

[@SilverOilman]

I wish it was autumn in my part of the world (west Texas) but I can still admire the style.

[@chrmy3776]

Once again iron snail hooking me onto something again. 😮‍💨

[@PaulKaiser42]

Very helpful and informative review. Now I think I know which waxed jacket I want…I think!! 😂😂

[@DP-bx5ob]

I have the Flint and Tinder lined jacket and the Rogue Territory Supply Jacket. I also have a Barbour and I had a Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser. I gave the Filson to a friend who is a farmhand, because I hated the fit. It was too boxy and unflattering. I never wear the Barbour, because I don't care for the way it looks on me and the wax is oily and picks up lint really bad. I love the flattering fit of the Rogue Territory Supply Jacket. The Flint and Tinder looks great also. I actually purchased a replacement for the Flint and Tinder jacket after getting gear oil all over the original purchase. I would not repurchase something that I didn't really like.

[@barnabymailed4184]

Fab video as ever, top job! 👍 That said, I’d really like to see you put your sights on a Peregrine Bexley jacket one of these days. There don’t seem to be any reviews about their output on KZbin. It’s a bit different style-wise from these “rider” thingies, closer to the Barbour range - but less steep on the wallet. Please consider giving them a proper review one of these days. Cheers!

Pack Animal Bridger Jacket is what I reach for the most in Winter, but I love my Filson's lined truckers (especially since I just got a sweet liner). Bridger Jacket best bang for buck, sweet fit and style. Ship John Wills is nice but I can't deal with waiting a year for anything clothing.

[@johnfarel3152]

Great video. But just curious, how can you say it’s a con that the Huckberry jacket is unlined when they sell two different versions of lined waxed truckers: wool, and flannel?

You should try Outerknown blanket shirt. I think you’ll like it.

[@PHLster]

Don’t be afraid of doing work in the RT jacket. It looks way better after it’s been dirtied a few times. I’ve been wearing mine to do all kinds of outdoors and dirty chores on chilly damp mornings and it instantly developed a lot of character.

[@grace_rose]

Have you seen the NJ based brand Heatstraps? That's what I'm eyeing! 👀 I had a vintage (1950's) waxed jacket passed down to me by my gram... but it was 1/2 an inch thick from so much wax and had no lining... eeeek it was so functional but didn't feel good to wear. I feel you, I NEED a lining in these coats!

[@michaelbrewer3777]

Been really wanting a waxed jacket, since I bought a motorcycle in June, and want to keep riding through the winter if possible. Warmer motorcycle gear is way out of my price range and some of the, even less expensive on a lot of your lists are too. I’m thinking of buying a less expensive unwaxed jacket and waxing it myself. Any thoughts?? Would love to see a DIY waxed jacket video!!

[@JimmyChampane]

The Huckberry one looked a little boxy on me so I got the Rogue Territory from Stag Provisions because they offer it lined with Japanese wool. They don’t block coupons on anything either so I got it for a decent discount. Can’t recommend it enough. The liner really seals it.

[@gnaughtytrolls]

What coupons did you use?

[@JimmyChampane]

I used that Honey app and it loaded in a bunch

[@gnaughtytrolls]

I could only get 15% off, did you do better?

[@haydechman]

Ive had the freenote cloth jacket for almost 2 years now. It really is the pinacle of all waxed jacketets IMO. The main selling point for me though are the arm gussets. I have broad shoulders and I get easily annoyed if I don't have full arm mobility, which isn't an issue at all with this jacket.

[@michaellumpkinss7368]

Freenote is 🔥🔥😍😍

[@user-hc5pi5zh5j]

Had the same issue. I'm Mike's size height wise (5'9"), but had to get a large because at 165lbs I could barely get the medium on and once on my arms were locked into imaginary lat syndrome posture. Large is a bit roomier everywhere, but still a nice fit.

[@casuallyworked4698]

I just bought a black one and it is beautiful, my only concern is size. Did yours end up stretching at the shoulders/chest?

[@miiikeeeC]

Great video! Would love to see your opinion of the Iron & Resin Cruiser jacket. It's a favorite of mine, and saw it as a huge upgrade over the Huckberry jacket.

[@ryanfitzalan8634]

I had the huckberry jacket and donated it after a year because I thought the Med size was to small on me and if i had anything layed underneath, than it was ridiculous. I feel like i fit into the strange place in sizes were i am lean but 5' 11", so I wear med t shirts, socks, underwear, long sleeve shirts. BUT once i break into button ups and jackets i start floating the line to large. jackets need room for layering so i should always go large, and button ups that will inevitably shrink when washed should go large also, but sometimes a certain brands larges fit like XL on me and wont shrink enough so i have to go med.

[@lrivera18]

Love the content and can’t wait to try your line of clothing. For the Rogue Territory Jacket, would you recommend lined or unlined? There is a $100 difference and I am uncertain if the lined is worth the extra cash.

[@Bisley1]

I have both and prefer the lined because to me at least, the unlined isn’t really warm enough for when it’s cold and doesn’t offer alot of room for layering - but looks sweet. At the same time when I want to wear the unlined one for just wind / drizzle protection or looks, when it isn’t cold, I sweat in it. Now maybe that gets better with age when some of the wax wears out and it gets more breathable but i feel llike there’s only a very narrow temperature window (like 58-63 degrees) where it‘s just chilly enough that I don’t sweat in it, but I don’t get cold because I‘m lacking extra insulation. The lined version is cut a tad looser (i went same size), allows for a thin sweater or something beneath and is just so much more wearable to me because I can actually wear it when it gets chilly and it gives me some warmth on its own and more when paired with a sweater or flannel shirt. It’s still by no means a winter jacket and more of a fall spring jacket. Also, i don’t feel as clammy in it because the wool lining sucks up some of that moisture. The only thing I wish they had changed: the sleeves are satin lined, which I don’t like the feel of when wearing short or rolled up sleeves plus it doesn’t offer any insulation. I wish they’d gone with a wool or flannel lining for the sleeve, then the jacket would provide a tad more warmth with just a shirt underneath, as it gets cooler in the evening for example. TLDR as much as I want to love and still haven’t sold the unlined, I just really don’t find it all that wearable or functional.

[@directedbydon]

I had a BM bag, but after having a laptop in it and traveling with it. It's just too heavy in the long run. Weight is an issue when you're travelling, walking around a city. Beautiful, well-made bag, but if it were lighter, it would have more function. Also, there are lined Huckberry and RGT jackets... LOL

I love RGT! One of my favorite brands for sure. Have you tried their Lined Supply Jacket? That might be the version for you. I personally don’t have one because I’m not a big fan of the fact that you can see the lining of the pockets on its seam. But if it wasn’t for that, I’d get one🤣

To anyone wanting to buy the lined version of the rogue territory jacket, know that the measurements are slightly bigger to account for the extra fabric. It'll definitely lose a little of its svelte shape as a result.
