The Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket Just Got a Blockbuster Revamp

If you watched any major network television this past year, you’ve probably seen this jacket. It helped Pedro Pascal weather the apocalypse in The Last of Us, it kept Chris Evans toasty on a swashbuckling, world-saving adventure in Ghosted. Heck, if it wasn’t for the star wattage Flint and Tinder’s waxed trucker jacket was pitted against, it would’ve taken home an Emmy by now.

IMDb credits aside, though, the burly trucker has long been a favorite around these parts for a few reasons. Its silhouette hits right at the hips, making it the perfect complement to a trusty pair of 501s or high-waisted khakis, and its waxed canvas fabric—sourced from a generations-old factory that supplies a certain high-end designer you definitely know—only gets better the more you put it through the wringer. Factor in the heavy-duty hardware and made-in-USA pedigree, and it’s easy to see why it’s been typecast as a reliable secondary character in megahit action flicks. 

But come summer, when most shirts not made of linen feel substantial enough to double as jackets, it’s not exactly an obvious casting choice. See, as sturdy as it is, the jacket’s blanket lining isn’t really designed with scorching weather in mind—terrible news for costume designers, sure, but even more heartbreaking for any of its hardcore fans. 

Thankfully, the Flint and Tinder waxed trucker jacket just got a very summer-ready makeover. In a burst of inspiration fit for a dramatic storyline of its own, the kind-minded outdoorsmen at Huckberry ditched the usual blanket lining entirely, leaving the rest of the silhouette mercifully intact. Would we wear it during a heat wave on a scalding July afternoon? Probably not. But on those brisk mornings and cool nights, the revamped silhouette means you can still score your waxed canvas fix without turning into a puddle. Netflix executives, take note: it’s about time you gave this bad boy a summer blockbuster of its own.
