I've had mine for 3+ years and it's everything you want from a waxed canvas lined jacket: waterproof (to date), comfortable and cool looking, and warmish. Together with the great price point and its timeless appeal, this is my favourite all round jacket that only looks better the more I wear it.

I got one off eBay a couple of years ago and the lining is 100% cotton flannel. Wish they’d left it that way. I think many folks would pay slightly more for that. A premium line is a great idea. This has been my go to rain jacket since I bought it and finally due for a re-wax. Worn mostly casually but also for hiking, chopping wood and other light work applications. I love that thing. Only downside is the older versions also didn’t have the phone pocket. I’m planning on having my tailor put one in probably this year. Nice work on the video as always! Congrats on the success of your first jacket! Keep it up!

[@RM-jb2bv]

They may have used lower quality material for the inner lining, but on the other hand, they raised the price.

[@shaneg0070]

I have this jacket, and love it. Originally got a large but my shoulders are a little wide and it was tight in the armpits. Got an xl and had it tapered (44 chest, 33 waist) and it’s perfect. Gets better every time I wear it.

Which color do you find yourself wearing the most? And I’m assuming you wear a size xs right? I’m 5’9” 135 lbs as well so just wanting to be sure on sizing. I love the field tan but the Havana brown also looks great. It’s a hard choice. I love the black but I definitely can’t get two jackets at the moment 😅

[@welovecheshirecats4557]

Ahoy, Mr Snail. You omitted to state which size you wore. I'm guessing this was an internet ploy to confuse and befuddle your viewership, with an exciting size reveal in the next video???

I only had the intention of watching a review of this particular jacket but man you’re oozing charisma and these are very well edited videos! Instant sub.

[@JustFluxz]

They do also offer a wool-lined version btw. I have owned my flannel-lined since November. my main gripes are that i wish that there was a chest pocket on both sides or not at all for symmetry. Also, I wish that the inner lining was color neutral without those yellow stripes as it can take away from your outfit if the yellow is not complimentary. Additionally, it would have been nice to have a lining inside of the front side pockets as to allow for more comfort and insulation during cold weather.

I love my tan waxed trucker, I wear it a lot riding my motorcycle. the problem is that the front of my sleeves are starting to turn a blackish color from the road grime. So definitely go with a darker color if you're going to do any riding with your jacket.

[@michaelshearer3559]

Lovely! I can tell you why the Huckberry jacket is so popular, and not being crass. It's affordable, and available. Unlike Filson, (expensive and sell out quick) is just better, not the best but very nice. I have both Filson colors and wear them often. I just picked up a Tobacco Motowear / Pack Animal Bridger Jacket and I really love it. Definitely my new favorite. Happy to hear how fast you sold out!

[@crossbones8956]

Finally picked one up this week. I was really impressed with the build quality. I think it’s worth the hype. I do wish the front pockets were lined, that would make it a perfect jacket. Regardless, I’ll most likely have some kind of gloves on when wearing it, so it’s not that big a deal. I got mine on Amazon. I’m 5’7”, 195, and I got a large and it fits great with room to layer.

[@dbmail545]

You can rewax these which will enhance water resistance but may make the fabric look slicker. 5 minutes inside out in a dryer will make the jacket look like new.

[@albertmanuel5028]

I purchased an unlined one from Gustin. Made in the US for $150, it’s a great looking jacket. With Gustin you just have to have patience with their crowd sourcing platform.

Hi Michael, I have just discovered your channel and I am really enjoying it.

I need a more waterproof jacket BUT it’s also rarely rainy here and for non rainy cold days I prefer a thin lined chore coat. But I’ve always been curious about waxed jackets.

[@PyjamaMusic]

Hey guys long comment ahead but i'm sure a lot of you can relate. I think we're all glad to see that the interest in good quality clothing, artisanal brands, and more sustainable way of consuming clothes has gone way up in the last few years ( at least in menswear ). But i think that for a lot of us it brought some very very bad habits. Let's be honest : most of us used to NOT CARE that much about clothing and didn't overybuy anything, and at the beginning we might have not been interested in "style" or " fashion" at all. But deep down we all like good things, made well and ethical. So when we got introduced to the fact that there are brands that makes really good stuff, ethical, nice looking and so on... of course we were super interested and went right down the rabbit hole. And i have to say that for myself and most of my friend that came after, we went totally overboard with it. And it the end it completely deflected the purpose of the thing. It was all about "buy less but better", " that one pair of jean that will last you a decade", "that only jacket you'll ever need". I can bet that most of you started to spend MUCH MORE and MUCH MORE OFTEN on clothing since you got in the "hobby". And that's because there's a really perveted since happening : we make ourselves think that it's FINE to buy that new flannel, pair of jeans of jacket or whatever because : " it's ethically made ", " yes it's expensive but in the long run it will be worth it", " that way i can support local brands". But let's face it : we end up with a wardrobe with way way WAY too much stuff. Stuff that we can't wear to the fullest, can't enjoy to the fullest. NOBODY needs 5 pairs of jeans, NOBODY needs 4 flannels, 3 winters jackets. We just get caught up in the pulsion of BUYING that " new stuff " that we want to try, and we make excuses for it. Don't get me wrong i LOVE what all theses brands do and i have a closet FULL of their stuff, but sometimes it takes someone from outside to make you realise : " oh shit i really went overboard with it " For me it was my girlfriend who started to look a me funny when yet another western shirt came in the mail 😄 Anyway, i'm sure a lot of you will relate. I wanted to post this for a long time and i hope it wasn't to hard to read as english isn't my first language. Cheers everyone !

[@jasonkrasowski4673]

I have the Rouge Territory version of this, unlined, and man, that thing is sneaky warm. It turns out, waxing prevents breathability. This is great in rain, or wind, but if the temp is above 60, be careful, because your going to get some sweaty arms, and I can see how that’s a turn off for some, but I overall love the jacket and am glad I don’t have the liner as it’s intended for our current fall conditions. Love the videos man!!!! Continued success!

So...something he says around the 7:15 mark cracks me up, & as a 49yo old man, here's some wisdom. Paying $500 for a jacket vs. $250 or so has almost no intrinsic value added...i.e. the more expensive jacket won't magically last longer because of this & that fancy-lad crap bespoke reasoning. You know you're just gonna move on to the next cool jacket when it comes out anyhow, & your hands are soft, because they don't ever get dirty, so don't worry about your clothing lasting a super long time, because in spite of what you'll say, you will not buy once & cry once...you will buy infinite times & never cry because you enjoy buying cool stuff that makes your heart happy. Just say that, just say you're spending a lot of money on high end clothing items that you don't need because you young people no longer choose to have children & therefore have nothing but mountains of disposable income. One last thing, please get the hell off my lawn, I just mowed & raked. OK, I guess there's another thing after the one last thing...My oldest son & I love this channel & I too have stupid jackets I don't need because I love fancy stuff that's made in the places I'd prefer them to be made in, & while my hands are rough & callused, never is when I will subject any of my cool clothes to any abuse, because I have thrift shop clothes for that, my fancy stuff stays fancy, that's just the way it goes.

[@DecoyJeff]

I'm in a similar boat! Gone through hundreds of reviews. Though 5'6", 135lb (same as Michael) and 36" chest. I'm on the border between XS and S much like you with S and M. My logic is if you live in a warmer climate and don't plan to layer it, Small may be worth a risk to achieve a slimmer fit. If you live in colder climates and wanna layer a sweater/hoodie then a M for sure. ALTHOUGH the site has models with your chest measurements wearing the Medium so personally I'd suggest a Medium for you. I hope to edit this comment when I eventually pull the trigger on a XS (I live in Australia so it's never that cold), though I'm basically the same size and Michael and he wears a Small. Dilemma! EDIT: 5'6" 135lb 36" chest. Ordered XS and it fits absolutely perfectly. It's snug if I decide to button and layer a thick hoodie underneath but you can do it. If you're curious about sizing, I highly suggest measuring your chest and then comparing to the models on the huckberry website. It's a fantastic sizing tool if you aren't too lazy to measure your chest!

[@Dannykholden]

Hey, I did go for Medium and I’m very happy with it. If I went with small I’m sure it would have been ok but not at all for layering, just a T. But the Medium looks pretty good with just a T but is great with a sweater or hoodie, which is what I was going for really with the type of jacket it is and living in the UK (mild and raining today!). I’d agree and go with XS if I were you.
