Flint and Tinder – Maxim https://www.maxim.com Catering to the modern man with content that promises to seduce, entertain and continuously surprise readers. Fri, 26 Sep 2025 11:06:02 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 https://www.maxim.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/cropped-maxim-favicon-32x32.png Flint and Tinder – Maxim https://www.maxim.com 32 32 The Best Chore Coats To Wear Now https://www.maxim.com/style/the-best-chore-coats-to-wear-now/ Mon, 29 Sep 2025 11:00:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=272465 If it was worn by an icon like Robert Redford or Steve McQueen, there’s a good chance it belongs in the modern gentleman’s wardrobe of today. In this instance, that means the highly durable chore jacket, with its real-world workwear roots dating back to the French countryside, is as admirable a piece of fall outerwear as any.

Often featuring chest and hip pockets and a shirt jacket-like collar, the best chore coats deliver durability, warmth and roguish good looks, with construction that’s plenty fit for layering atop a selection of thermal henleys or a classic flannel shirt.

Fabrications range from the luxe (like moleskin or corduroy) to the ultra-rugged (like cotton canvas), with brands like Huckberry and premium designers like Billy Reid and Todd Snyder delivering an expert eye for detail. Your best outdoor life awaits, starting with these prime selections for a new favorite chore jacket.

Flint and Tinder Classic Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

In addition to its highly durable and frankly excellent line of waxed outerwear, Huckberry’s own Flint and Tinder leans heavily into the spirit of the vintage chore coat, first worn most commonly by French rail workers. Its new version of the Classic Chore Coat is a touch more modern in terms of fit and fabrication, featuring a mid-weight stretch cotton blend in a slew of versatile colorways. $178

Todd Snyder Lightweight Japanese Selvedge Chore Coat

(Todd Snyder)

The workwear roots of dependable denim are a natural fit alongside the tried-and-true silhouette of the chore coat. Famed American menswear designer Todd Snyder’s version turns a rich shade of ‘bourbon’ Japanese selvedge into a tough-as-nails chore coat that blends luxury with a dash of rugged appeal. $398

Line of Trade Carpenter Chore Coat

(Bespoke Post)

Line of Trade, the in-house brand at Bespoke Post (a true one-stop shop for some of the coolest gear for guys, period) dove into iconic, expertly crafted vintage chore coats and the brisk climes of autumn when designing its heritage-meets-modern offering. Priced at under $100, it boasts durable hardware, a throwback corduroy collar and dependable cotton canvas construction in a wildly affordable package. $98

Billy Reid Waxed Chore Jacket

(Billy Reid)

Tracing the provenance of a piece of menswear pays off: Billy Reid, the legendary Alabama designer, worked with Scotland’s Halley Stevensons on a custom ripstop fabric that was then translated into this expertly crafted chore coat. Fall breezes and autumn rain don’t stand a chance. $248.50

Taylor Stitch Ojai Jacket

(Taylor Stitch)

The French version of the chore coat (the original marker for the style) gets a modern revamp in a handsome shade of Bourbon Corduroy, placing this refined-yet-rugged chore coat somewhere between a workwear staple and a hybrid blazer. The San Francisco-based outfitter says this jacket packs a “serious visual wallop,” and we tend to agree. $248

Le Mont St. Michel Moleskin French Work Jacket

(Huckberry)

Go straight to the source and pick up a true icon in the world of chore coats: This handsome moleskin chore coat has been made the same way for over a century, and its tightly woven construction even repels water. $275

Carhartt WIP OG Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

Carhartt is essentially the first name in durable workwear, and the Carhartt WIP brand (which isn’t formally associated with the Detroit company) is like its cool-kid sidekick, in a way. 12oz. organic cotton canvas gets a diamond-quilted lining, while the boxy fit is ready for urban exploration and leaf-peeping in equal measure. $298

Relwen Pile-Lined Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

Relwen leans heavily on military heritage inspiration, which helps explain why its lineup manages to feel classic and yet fresh at the same time. Unique fabrications like rich corduroy and a soft pile lining complement rich brown corduroy fabric and a tailored fit that calls to mind a more rugged version of the corduroy blazer. $298

Filson Canvas Outfitter Jacket

(Filson)

With its highly durable canvas construction, sturdy corduroy collar and a plethora of pockets, this hard-wearing Filson chore coat is a prime move when the great outdoors calls your name this fall. One of the pockets might even prove nicely sized for a flask, along with the rest of your everyday carry. $199

3sixteen French Work Jacket

(Huckberry)

The famed modern denimheads at 3sixteen dreamed up the perfect pairing alongside selvedge denim, and it’s a suitably workwear-inspired moleskin cotton jacket with double-stitched pockets for expert attention to detail in every thread. $330

When it comes to warm-weather style, outdoor getaways, blissful sunsets, unexpected foul weather and everything in between, adventure-meets-Americana retailers Huckberry have a knack for delivering essentials tailormade for those situations, and then some.

Breezy summer suiting is accounted for via its Flint and Tinder line, workwear arrives via the Huckberry x Ford collaboration, and the best summer sunglasses are available by the dozens at Huckberry, to name but a few highlights.

Now through July 29th, shop to your heart’s content (our favorite selections very much included).

Flint and Tinder Block Print Camp Collar Shirt

(Huckberry)

The camp collar shirt came roaring back in a big way as far as retro style is concerned over the past few years, and this option channels a dash of The White Lotus in breezy fashion. $73, was $98

Walden Eyewear Airman Sunglasses

(Huckberry)

Finding a pair of shades that manage a passing resemblance to iconic Persol frames, at a fraction of the price? Thank Huckberry’s in-house Walden Eyewear line. $49, was $99

Whiskey Peaks Denali Decanter

Relwen Flyweight Flex Shorts

(Huckberry)

Rethink your summer shorts rotation, because it’s more than possible to get the shape and style of a chino short in a seriously lightweight fabrication. These are polished enough to dress up with leather loafers and a sweater polo, but versatile enough to wear with a pocket tee and well-worn canvas sneakers. $110, was $158

The Best Men’s Polo Shirts To Elevate Summer Style https://www.maxim.com/style/the-best-mens-polo-shirts-to-elevate-summer-style/ Fri, 13 Jun 2025 10:11:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=262820 While styles and trends ebb and flow like the coastal summer tide, some stalwarts rarely, if ever, leave a menswear wardrobe. For the welcoming first weeks of summer and the months beyond, the handsome polo shirt is an all-time classic, with sporting roots that have since grown into a way to communicate easygoing luxury and a sense of polish (but not too much polish). Be it the return of the throwback sweater polo or the welcome embrace of a classic cotton pique polo in a flattering color and fit, the best polo shirts elevate your casual wardrobe beyond the humble t-shirt. And with fresh options from Huckberry, plus iconic menswear designers like Todd Snyder and Billy Reid, there’s a polo shirt on the market for everyone: That’s a menswear guarantee.

Nordstrom Pima Cotton Pique Polo

(Nordstrom)

If it’s been some time since you gave your polo rotation a refresh, dip your toes back into this versatile, easy-to-wear staple by opting for a classic cotton pique number in a wear-with-anything colorway. Better still is the highly affordable price and flattering trim fit. $49

Buck Mason Sueded Cotton Polo

(Buck Mason)

Ultra-soft, garment-dyed cotton helps this polo feel as soft as a well-loved t-shirt, which is fitting coming from an all-American brand like Buck Mason. Pair this handsome, earth-hued number with off-white jeans or rolled light wash denim and chukka boots for the ideal blend of McQueen-approved style. $128

Taylor Stitch Playa Sweater Polo

(Taylor Stitch)

There’s something pleasingly retro about the sweater polo (Huckberry calls this option woven through with “retro cool,” after all). Luxe enough for rooftop cocktails and laidback enough to wear to the pool or beach, this is an elevated take on a classic from Taylor Stitch. $138

Flint and Tinder Pique Polo Shirt

(Huckberry)

The best polo shirts are a step up from the classic t-shirt in terms of polished great looks, but this one from Americana purveyors Flint and Tinder even feels as easygoing as wearing a humble cotton pique tee. It’s a polo shirt you needn’t think too hard about wearing: Pair it with chino shorts and canvas sneakers, then grab a cold High Life from the cooler. $78

Polo Ralph Lauren Embroidered Logo Polo Shirt

(MR. PORTER)

It’s hard to mention the polo shirt without covering a modern update to a legendary style via Ralph Lauren, who practically helped put the polo shirt on the map for the masses in the American market. This option embroiders the company’s instantly recognizable logo, and switches out its button placket for a flattering “Johnny collar” design. $110

Relwen Jersey Stripe Polo

(Huckberry)

Relwen boasts serious pedigree when it comes to heritage menswear featuring a modern spin, and the polo shirt is no different. This option goes nautical with its blue and white stripes, while an extended placket gives it a flattering, even somewhat dressy feel. $98

Billy Reid Tile Jacquard Sweater Polo

(Billy Reid)

The best polos on the market offer an air of eye-catching, luxe style: It should be fun to get dressed in the breezy climes of summer, after all. Billy Reid goes bold yet tasteful, swerving from the norm of Hawaiian florals with an elegant tile jacquard pattern in classic sweater polo structure. $248

Todd Snyder Cotton Pique Polo

(Todd Snyder)

The menswear classics hold true season after season, and designer Todd Snyder’s lineup always boasts a healthy respect for those classics, like the tipped polo. With an artful contrasting collar and sleeves, this crisp organic cotton-blend polo shirt is practically made for coastal getaways. $98

Elevate Your Summer Style With This Breezy Menswear Collection From Flint And Tinder https://www.maxim.com/style/elevate-your-summer-style-with-this-breezy-new-collection-from-flint-and-tinder/ Mon, 19 May 2025 08:51:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=259641 The best menswear collections truly are of a time and place, evoking eternal cool when done the right way: Key West was a haven for the likes of Hemingway, and proves a perfect backdrop in modern times for the latest Flint and Tinder capsule collection from Huckberry.

(Huckberry)

The famed retailer certainly knows how to deliver gear meant to go far afield, be it Pedro Pascal’s trucker jacket from The Last of Us or a rugged array of hard-wearing T-shirts, denim jackets and shirt jackets inspired by Marfa (released just this spring). The new Flint and Tinder capsule collection goes the more leisurely, laidback route without losing a sense of polish and style, as Huckberry says it looked to Key West as a “quirky paradise with a long history as a refuge for renegades, artists, and icons who fall somewhere in the middle” for its latest campaign shoot. Suffice to say, the clothes stand out handsomely and stylishly.

(Huckberry)

An array of camp collar shirts, sweater polos and drawstring pants make up the core of the luxe yet accessible new collection, including hand-printed finishing on select shirts that Huckberry notes is “a testament to the art of hand block printing.”

(Huckberry)

Other classics like a happy hour-ready madras long-sleeve shirt are joined in breezy fashion by crisp yet breathable linen shirting, the kind that looks as fashionable untucked with off-white denim as it does beneath a soft-shouldered blazer alongside stretch chinos. Is the latest Flint and Tinder capsule collection Hemingway-approved? At least at a glance, it seems that way.

(Huckberry)

Jersey tank tops offer the perfect alternative to beach-going cut-off T-shirts of days gone by, while the newest Flint and Tinder offering is complemented by textured, eye-catching accessories like a braided leather belt, plus a lineup of hemp short sleeve shirts that mimic tipped polos (Don Draper would likely approve).

(Huckberry)

The Flint and Tinder capsule collection also gets a shot in the arm through vivid prints and complementary Flint and Tinder 365 Pants in an assortment of dusty, earthen colors: Those pants seem to say, “It’s OK to let your shirt do the talking this time.” Hemp henleys and cotton pique polos lend a sense of timeless cool to the collection, which seems to offer style for every day of the week, from the office to a coastal getaway.

Of the Flint and Tinder capsule collection offering, which starts fairly priced at $38 for its knitwear assortment, the legendary modern retailer said it “tapped into its tropical landscapes, adventurous lifestyle, and freewheeling spirit to create an all-new lineup of breathable fabrics, open knits, and bold patterns for the season.” Consider that mission accomplished in easygoing, yet sharp and stylish, fashion from a company that knows a thing or two about the best seasonal style on the market.

The Best Lightweight Blazers To Upgrade Your Warm Weather Style https://www.maxim.com/style/the-best-lightweight-blazers-to-upgrade-your-warm-weather-style/ Fri, 02 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=258182 The art of dressing well in the high heat of spring and summer is a difficult one to perfect: The wool blazer you relied on through the fall and winter months simply won’t cut it anymore. Turn instead to lightweight fabric blends and classics like cotton, linen and seersucker (or a dash of all three), plus details that lend a rarified air to many a seasonal occasion, from weddings to rooftop soirees.

Plenty of acclaimed designers and top-tier brands are coming up with ways more stylish than ever before when it comes to tailoring suited for warmer climes. With the ability to dress up blue jeans or pair stylishly with linen trousers or everyday chinos, the best lightweight blazers walk a fine line between comfort, style and polished good looks. These are some of our favorite seasonal blazers of the moment.

Relwen Flyweight Flex Blazer

(Huckberry)

Relwen draws on classic style inspiration (in this case, heritage hunting coats) for its effortlessly cool spin on the blazer. Its Flyweight fabric is light as air and yet highly durable, making this a refined travel jacket as well as a blazer fit for a rooftop happy hour. Better still is the fact that its fabric bounces back and retains its shape. $298

Wills Rosedale Classic Patch Pocket Suit Jacket

(Huckberry)

Don’t let the name fool you: This is a bonafide lightweight blazer that can be worn more ways than one, boasting an elegant “3-roll-2” construction (just like the suit coats favored as of late by James Bond). Patch pockets give it a crisp yet casual finish, while the navy color pairs with just about everything in your tailored wardrobe. $358

Flint and Tinder Seersucker Blazer

(Huckberry)

Although Flint and Tinder might be better known for rugged cold-weather gear like its famed Waxed Trucker Jacket, the Huckberry house brand also gets the formula correct when it comes to more elegant tailoring. This seersucker blazer should prove remarkably lightweight, and it’s finished with classic tailored details like functional cuffs. Pair it with a vivid printed shirt for a perfect blend of high and low. $228

Todd Snyder Italian Silk-Linen Herringbone Sportcoat

(Todd Snyder)

Only the best of the best makes the cut in the eyes of award-winning menswear designer Todd Snyder, as evidenced quite handsomely by this luxurious silk-meets-linen sportcoat. The brand notes that its natural, Neapolitan-inspired design lends it “a triple shot of sprezzatura,” and we’re hard-pressed to agree. As wearable with olive chinos as it is with white denim, this is one sportcoat decidedly worth the investment. $798

Buck Mason Tropic Twill Carry-On Jacket

(Buck Mason)

Made to go from the office to the airport to a moody speakeasy without missing a beat, Buck Mason has perfected the art of casual tailoring, this time in a super-lightweight cotton twill that ensures comfort even in the heat. Drawing inspiration from vintage suiting, this is yet another way Buck Mason nods to classic prep style for the modern man. $198

Taylor Stitch Stevens Sportcoat in Linen Seersucker

(Taylor Stitch)

It’s easier than ever to blend crisp tailored style with lightweight comfort: Just look to San Francisco’s iconic Taylor Stitch, which has perfected the patch-pocket sportcoat in a breezy cotton and linen seersucker blend. The tailored cut and two-button design are flattering and sharp, no matter how hot your next outdoor wedding might be. $358

Proof Nomad Blazer

(Huckberry)

Huckberry calls this travel-ready, versatile sportcoat (finished with spill-proof, wrinkle-resistant technology) an “everyday tech blazer in stealth mode,” and it should be styled as such. On the surface, it gets timeless tailoring details correct, including patch pockets and notch lapels, but the innovative tech fabric offers supremely lightweight comfort, moisture-wicking performance and certified day-to-night style. $248

Flint and Tinder Utility Blazer

(Huckberry)

Flint and Tinder looked to throwback tailoring to inspire yet another sportcoat well-suited for the modern gentleman. As ready for a day of travel as it is for drinks at your final destination, this patch-pocket blazer takes its cues from workwear and chore coats, resulting in a hybrid style statement that can be dressed up with tailored chinos and leather loafers, or dressed down with light wash jeans and leather chukka boots. $228

The Best Chore Coats For Spring Layering https://www.maxim.com/style/the-best-chore-coats-for-spring-layering/ Thu, 24 Apr 2025 10:46:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=257475 Facing down spring weather, spring cleaning and spring adventures far afield requires a special kind of know-how, and a special kind of addition to your outerwear rotation. While lightweight puffer jackets and trench coats are an agreeable part of any spring wardrobe, there’s nothing quite as tough, functional and yet ruggedly stylish as the iconic chore coat. Originally worn by field workers in France centuries ago, the ever-popular style has evolved over the years into a bonafide hybrid of workwear durability and effortlessly cool good looks. The style boasts pockets aplenty for your everyday carry, a fit that’s perfectly for layering and a fabric build that’s just right for breezy spring days. These are the ones we’ve got our eyes on: Add a henley and blue jeans, and consider yourself set for the season.

Sea Culture Brand Sitka Chore Jacket

(Sea Culture Brand)

Upstate New York’s Sea Culture pays homage to a legendary style often found in coastal climes, using durable yet soft stretch twill fabric to update the silhouette in comfortable, modern fashion. Its vibrant shade of rust is a suitable change of pace for the season, while the company describes its new offering as an “elevated take on a time-honored workwear essential.” It’s hard to argue with that. $215

Flint and Tinder Sweater Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

While plenty of chore coats are fashioned from fabrics like cotton-canvas, Huckberry workwear masters Flint and Tinder use a sweater-weight blend of cotton and nylon in a build that’s ideal for cool spring and mornings and nights around the bonfire. Consider swapping this option in for a blazer over an Oxford shirt to shake up your spring style. $198

Relwen Canvas Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

The classic style of the chore coat meets the modern innovation of Ohio-based Relwen, which often nods to heritage inspiration in its all-American lineup. Densely woven cotton and nylon canvas gives this handsome chore coat a dash of weather-ready appeal, and the front both zips and buttons up for added coverage in the season’s worst weather. $238

Le Mont St. Michel French Moleskin Work Jacket

(Huckberry)

For more than 110 years, Le Mont St. Michel has proudly made a fine example of a legendary French chore coat, a pursuit that continues apace today. French moleskin fabric provides lightweight warmth without too much added bulk, while the notched patch pockets and button front pay tribute to OG chore coat styles. For a true French touch, consider scooping one up in light blue or indigo, but we appreciate the khaki-like shade of Kraft shown here, too. $275

Portuguese Flannel Labura Linen Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

Lighten things up with a linen variation of the chore coat, a reliable choice for wearing in temperate weather (and perhaps even slightly hotter climes when you still want to exude a polished-yet-leisurely sort of look). Portuguese Flannel are among the best in the business when it comes to fabric and design: This chore coat is exhibit A. $250

Buck Mason Felted Chore Coat

(Buck Mason)

The chore coat in modern times can toe the line between true workwear staple and an elevated-yet-casual style move. Buck Mason’s mid-weight wool take on the chore coat does a bit of both, with a four-button front, marled wool construction and timeless patch pockets. $268

Taylor Stitch Ojai Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

Taylor Stitch looked to the very roots of the chore coat style to design its fan-favorite Ojai option, which stands apart from the pack thanks to its stone-washed organic cotton canvas construction and versatile profile. Whether layered over a fisherman sweater or an easygoing graphic tee, it could become your new favorite spring jacket. $188

Heimat Journey Canvas Chore Coat

(Huckberry)

Remember the sort of time-honored, worn-in jacket your dad or grandfather threw on at the cabin, or to take on the great outdoors? This heirloom-worthy Heimat chore coat has a touch of that same sensibility, with fabric that gets better with each wear, plus throwback details like a handsome corduroy collar. $325

How To Get Pedro Pascal’s ‘The Last Of Us’ Waxed Trucker Jacket https://www.maxim.com/style/how-to-get-pedro-pascals-the-last-of-us-waxed-trucker-jacket/ Mon, 14 Apr 2025 09:13:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=256175 There are jackets cut out for extreme conditions, and then there’s but one jacket meant to survive the zombie apocalypse: That would be the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket, worn with pride by Pedro Pascal in Season 2 of the smash HBO hit The Last of Us.

(Huckberry)

Pascal rocked the rugged jacket to great effect in season one of the action thriller series, which follows the mysterious smuggler Joel and equally mysterious (and important) immune teenager Ellie (played by Bella Ramsey) as they outrun an increasingly terrifying, post-apocalyptic world. Suffice to say, a rugged jacket like the iconic, best-selling Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket (the all-time best-selling product at stylish online retailer Huckberry) tends to prove quite useful.

(Huckberry)

And while there’s also a hooded version of Huckberry’s iconic waxed jacket available, the production once again went with a sturdy, hard-wearing waxed jacket built from substantial Martexin waxed sailcloth and finished with a handsome blanket stripe lining. The appearance of the fast-selling Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, which comes in both Classic and Tall fits in a range of pleasingly dusty, earthen colors, was a pleasant surprise for the Huckberry team, as the jacket’s inclusion in the series was organic (rather than paid).

(Huckberry)

“I was fortunate enough to connect with the costume designer for the show and get the backstory of why she chose our jacket,” said Ben O’Meara, Chief Brand Officer at Huckberry, noting that the costume design team bought and tested as many as 100 waxed jackets, looking at wear-testing, patina, construction and quality.

(Huckberry)

“In the end, ours rose to the top,” he added, calling it a ‘lucky’ break that’s reinforced by the hard-wearing durability of the style itself. “Knowing this backstory made it all that much sweeter,” he said of the inclusion of the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket in the famed show. “It reinforced the reason this best-seller has stood the test of time—quality always wins.”

(Huckberry)

The strong yet stylish jacket, available only at Huckberry for the agreeable price of $298, boasts nearly 4,000 five-star reviews and plenty of credibility, especially in the blustery, brisk climes of spring. In an array of versatile color options, it’s a dependable bet for casually rugged everyday style: If Joel can count on the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, you know your wardrobe can, too.

Gear Up For Spring With These Weather-Ready Waxed Jackets https://www.maxim.com/style/gear-up-for-spring-with-these-weather-ready-waxed-jackets/ Thu, 27 Mar 2025 10:29:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=254862 Hot on the heels of the first day of spring, some key style considerations should be top of mind. There’s a natural switch from the hefty fabrics and textures of fall and winter outerwear, but you’re not out of the woods yet, stylistically speaking. Spring’s worst weather, its breezy, brisk and rainy days, call for something substantial, versatile and hard-wearing on the outerwear front: One of the best waxed jackets should do the trick. The process of using a fabric like cotton, then treating it with a waxed and weather-ready finish, has been around in some form for centuries (thanks to old-time sailors), yet it’s now a modern, highly rugged and yes, casually stylish way of amping up your outerwear rotation. Minus the bulk of a winter parka, the best waxed jackets are a seasonally approved must-have: These are some of our current favorites, with more than a dash of heritage style and utility.

Filson Tin Cloth Lined Short Cruiser Jacket

(Filson)

Take the build of a timeless denim trucker jacket, then retool it with Filson’s legendary Tin Cloth waxed fabric, the same kind trusted by Western explorers for more than a century. The end result is an icon that, as Filson says, is ” often imitated and never replicated.” $210 (On Sale)

Barbour Modern Check Bedale Wax Jacket

(Barbour)

Is there a more iconic waxed jacket in modern times than the Barbour Bedale? The instantly recognizable silhouette is made for the British countryside and beyond, boasting a sturdy-yet-supple finish and a design that develops a handsome patina over time. The key here is the use of a tartan pattern for a point of stylish distinction in the crowd. Cozy touches like a corduroy collar and cuffs bolster comfort on crisp days and nights. $540

Belstaff Trialmaster Jacket

(Belstaff)

There’s no compromise between durability, function and style with a quality waxed jacket from this London-based heritage brand. For chilly spring weather and beyond (just about anywhere else on the globe, in fact), Belstaff has been delivering for decades with its legendary motorcycle and road-ready jackets, including the famed Trialmaster silhouette. $750

Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket

(Huckberry)

Recall what we said about not quite being out of the woods yet in terms of brisk, blustery days: This Flint and Tinder jacket is a modern icon for a reason (and the best-selling item in the history of popular online retailer Huckberry). It’s finished with a useful flannel lining and hard-working construction featuring time-tested sailcloth fabric. It also comes in a rich array of stylish shades to suit every wardrobe. $298

Taylor Stitch Bomber Jacket

(Taylor Stitch)

Look to time-tested silhouettes as you build out your spring outerwear rotation, like the hard-working, crisply cut bomber jacket. Taylor Stitch uses 100 percent organic waxed cotton that’s then treated for a sturdy yet lightweight finish, and the perfect shade of Fatigue Olive pairs with everything from tobacco-hued chinos to indigo selvedge denim. $238

Flint and Tinder York Waxed Quilted Jacket

(Huckberry)

Reach beyond the confines of the rugged trucker jacket with an equally useful yet more sleek take on the puffer jacket, this time merging the warmth of the OG puffer with a tried-and-true waxed finish. Your favorite henley and dark blue jeans pair well with this crisply cut design from outerwear masters Huckberry. $178

Tecovas Buckaroo Waxed Canvas Trucker Jacket

(Tecovas)

The Western bootmakers at Texas-based Tecovas are certainly having a moment right now, as all things Western-inspired continue to explode in popularity. You assuredly needn’t be on a ranch to wear this tough-as-nails waxed cotton jacket, which is finished with lightweight insulation ideal for cool spring mornings. $295

Drake’s Waxed Corduroy-Trimmed Cotton Jacket

(MR. PORTER)

The heritage style of the waxed jacket, occasionally with a timeless corduroy collar, gets an exceptionally luxe, simply beautiful update via the refined purveyors at Drake’s. Although best known for its handsome neckwear, this coat is more than ready for a country weekend away from the city. $1,200

Take the Flint and Tinder Spring 2025 Collection, which uses the dusty “way out west” inspiration of iconic Marfa, Texas in debuting a range of updated Americana classics.

(Huckberry)

The offering is part of the first wave of Huckberry’s Spring 2025 Drop, a tantalizing preview of what awaits in the season ahead, from performance rainwear to sturdy t-shirts, canvas workwear and more. As with all things Huckberry, the Flint and Tinder Spring 2025 Collection is built to go far afield with the spirit of adventure in mind.

(Huckberry)

In the case of the Flint and Tinder Spring 2025 Collection, that means the offering, according to Huckberry, “marks our biggest release yet from the brand.” That’s saying something: F&T already makes the trucker jacket worn by Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us, among a slew of other modern twists on timeless classics.

(Huckberry)

Marfa proved a suitably inspired backdrop for the collection, as Huckberry notes the trendy Western town is “where artists use the vast desert as a creative canvas.” Especially alluring is the new Flint and Tinder Type II Trucker Jacket, its own twist on an iconic denim staple.

(Huckberry)

The retailer made sure to get each and every retro-tinged detail correct. The Type II Trucker from Flint and Tinder “pays tribute to the original with bar tack-reinforced dual-pleats on the front placket and 2 buttoned chest pockets for your everyday essentials,” and Flint and Tinder’s sturdy customized hardware is a major selling point for the affordable (sub-$200) light wash jacket.

(Huckberry)

The Flint and Tinder Spring 2025 Collection also features some unexpected versions of the familiar, like the jacquard weave and dusty desert inspiration of the Southwestern Flannel Shirt. The dusty-hued shirt is almost Marfa personified, a “vintage-inspired Western shirt crafted from a 100% cotton jacquard fabric” that should prove more than suitable for breezy spring mornings on the patio and nights around the bonfire.

(Huckberry)

The collection is dotted with a wide array of versatile, pleasingly rugged styles, most of which can be dressed up or dressed down with relative ease (would Huckberry have it any other way?). To hear the lauded brand tell it, the offering boasts “vintage trucker jackets with a modern spin, lightweight sweaters with a perfectly faded wash, utility blazers styled with western shirts.”

(Huckberry)

Yes, you read that correctly: The Flint and Tinder Spring 2025 Collection even boasts blazers. In fact, the three-button, patch pocket Flint and Tinder 365 Utility Blazer takes its cues from old-school sporting coats worn in the field. With the fully realized, utterly stylish promise of Huckberry’s largest Flint and Tinder collection yet, it seems it’s high time to look West as you plot your next round of spring style upgrades.

Huckberry Just Dropped A Hooded Version Of Its Best-Selling Flint And Tinder Waxed Jacket https://www.maxim.com/style/huckberry-just-dropped-a-hooded-version-of-its-best-selling-flint-and-tinder-waxed-jacket/ Tue, 14 Jan 2025 11:00:00 +0000 https://www.maxim.com/?p=249395 Talk about the 21st century’s greatest menswear hits, and the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket might be up near the top in terms of casually rugged style. It’s the best-selling item in the history of beloved Americana-adventure retailer Huckberry, and a brand-new hooded waxed trucker jacket seems bound to join its ranks.

(Huckberry)

The workwear-minded jacket joins an already impressive lineup of Flint and Tinder menswear, including the trucker jacket worn by Pedro Pascal in The Last of Us. When not dressing survivors for the zombie apocalypse, Flint and Tinder harkens back to old-school, get-the-job-done style in everything from expertly made tees to flannel shirting and even a set of office-ready five-pocket pants.

(Huckberry)

The new Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Hooded Waxed Trucker Jacket is cut from the same tough, heritage-focused cloth, literally. Made in a limited run of 300 right here in the U.S.A. (another major score for the retailer), this burly jacket is built from weather-resistant waxed Martexin 7 oz. sailcloth, the kind that can easily stand up to wind, rain and assorted squalls. Within, a polyester flannel lining in the brand’s customary striped fabrication stands out handsomely against its Field Tan exterior.

(Huckberry)

Of course, you’ll also find the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Hooded Waxed Trucker Jacket in a dark olive shade called Forest, crafted from the same hard-wearing fabric and lined in that same soft flannel for good measure. In either color and in many sizes, stock is going quickly. The waxed treatment extends to the interior of the jacket, while metal hardware throughout should also stand up to wear and tear in the elements.

(Huckberry)

It’s far from Huckberry’s first foray into rugged waxed outerwear aside from the Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket: There’s also the movement-friendly, layering-ready F&T Quilted York Vest, plus Huckberry’s utterly impressive and well-stocked Waxed Jacket Outpost.

(Huckberry)

Features like a hidden interior media pocket, plus exterior kangaroo pockets akin to a hooded sweatshirt, give the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Hooded Waxed Trucker Jacket a sort of go-anywhere sensibility, no matter the weather. Your next foray out of the city, into fierce elements or across the globe to parts unknown should be well-served by yet another tough-as-nails, adventure-ready Huckberry jacket. As the company says. see you out there.
