For some, a favorite go-to jacket can quickly become its own time capsule.

Perhaps the sight of it alone can bring to mind a hundred memories. Or maybe you’ve simply been photographed in it so many times, it’s become a part of your personality. Regardless, these kinds of all-day-every-day jackets are what we all strive to find whenever we’re shopping.

Luckily, Huckberry has streamlined your search. Their Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jackets are built from a weather-resistant canvas that will wear like selvage denim. As a result, everytime you hoist a beer, light a fire or wave goodbye, you’ll leave a tell-tale crease.

The Backstory

Flint and Tinder: American-Inspired Staples

Flint and Tinder is Huckberry’s hub for simple, hard wearing clothing. From durable flannels to (aptly named) 365 pants — these are pieces you’ll want to wear every single day.

And yeah, for what it’s worth, the brand’s Flannel-lined Waxed Trucker Jacket is also what Pedro Pascal wore in the last season of “The Last of Us.” So if this jacket looks like a particularly cool, ass-kicking go-to, that’s because it is.

The Gist

What Makes this Jacket Stand Out?

For starters, it’s made with waxed, seven-ounce Martexin sailcloth which not only looks and feels great, but it provides a lifetime of weather resistance. How? It’s infinitely re-waxable. That means you can prep the jacket at the end of each summer to re-up its water-resistance for the cold and wet seasons to come.

Meanwhile, on the inside the jacket is lined with a soft, striped blanket fabric along its sleeves and body. So while you lock harsh weather out, you can also lock in a healthy dose of cozy warmth.

Best of all, it’s made in the U.S., and cut, sewn and finished in Los Angeles — so yeah, it’s more than just American-inspired, it’s firmly home-grown.

Our POV

The Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Checks All the Boxes

Sure, technical jackets are great. So are pure style pieces. Both deserve a spot in your wardrobe. But when a rare jacket is able to tick both columns without sacrificing on either front, you’re sure to reach for it more often than not. That’s exactly the kind of jacket Flint and Tinder has managed to produce with the Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker.

Price: $298
