Two Years Wearing the Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket from Huckberry's Flint and Tinder 

Thanks so much. That means a lot! Happy to be healthier (and look better) for my fam!

You are welcome! And tough luck! I did the exact same thing with this one 2 years ago... Bought just 2 weeks early! Cheers mate!

Glad you like 'em! As the channel (and my wardrobe) ages there will be a lot more long-term follow ups like this on jackets and boots.

Thanks, brother! It's a constant thing! When working from home at the start of the pandemic, that's where I decided to make a change. Still trying to drop about 13 lbs more (175 is my ideal weight) and that's proving pesky as I'm about to turn 40... :)

Hey Jeff! Thanks for stopping by! Glad to hear about the unlined. Been wearing that a lot this fall. And glad yours is coming along nicely!

Thanks a lot, Michael! We can always learn from each other!

Hey, Michael! I didn't realize you had a channel somehow! I just sub'd! :)

@@rockymtnstyle thank you so much, means a lot. Also subscribed to you!! Keep up the awesome videos 🔥

Yeah it's a good'n! Thanks, Dave!!

Thanks, broski!!

Yeah, unfortunately that's it! I think they might do a 20-25% sale on actual BF but the waxed trucker is omitted, at least it was last year.

I was able to pick up the wool lined for $304 before tax! I had actually bought it a few days prior to the sale and they refunded me $57 back. Great customer service!

Ahh nice! yeah - you've got the right idea there! Cheers mate!

Thanks for the story, Christopher! Mine is so close to yours. Glad to have you on this journey with me! And yes, that took a lot of risk sending down to New Zealand, but no risk no reward! Good on ya, mate!

I'm also from NZ and about to take the leap and buy this jacket after eying it for quite a while. I'm looking forward to it arriving!

Thanks for the heads up! Glad you got some value out of it! I agree completely with your choice given your parameters. For future consideration, the wool-lined F&T has the poly sleeves that are easy to get arms in and out of..👍

Thanks, Joseph! Glad you like this type because there's a lot more of this sort of stuff coming. Now that I'm over 1 year on the channel and have some good items going back 2 years or more, I'll be doing regular updates on the more popular boots and jackets as they age. Lemme know if there's anything specific you ever want to see an update on!

leave a review on which one you decided on getting ;)

I pulled the trigger on the Thursday in Olive. Love the jacket. I typically wear XL in jackets and shirts, so I ordered that size. Arm and body length when standing straight were snug, but good length. However, my chest size is a bit too big for the XL and Thursday is recommending XXL. Exchange in process now to see if the bigger size makes it more livable.

Thanks for sharing, Jorge! I think you're totally right about the darker colors showing that type of patina very early on. With this Field Tan, it's pretty much "get it dirty" and then that's your patina! Lol! Cheers, mate!

Thanks so much for that... Means a lot! I'll do my best to keep bringing decent content! What sort of content is your fav that I do? (And thanks for the note about this jackets)

Well, I know your comparison vids (flannel shirts and heavyweight tees) were not the most watched. Still, they were very useful. I think branching out into reviewing high end clothing works well. To me it’s important not to veer too far away from “manly” heritage clothing or accessories. Granted, RU-vid is crowded with similar channels but your straightforward and down-to-earth reviews will garner views overtime. I would not stray too much from heritage styles. Huckberry has added a huge number of “foo-foo” stuff to their product offerings over the past year. I think it hurts the exclusivity of thier brands.

Thanks for taking the time for this thorough response. I definitely gravitate towards the heritage stuff, I think that's obvious. I think I recall you mentioning the hw tee/flannel thing before, and I appreciate it. They are relatively easy to make from a time perspective so I'll probably keep feathering them in as I get new stuff in. For example, I need to do that Iron Heart flannel soon! :) Just curious, what sort of things do you consider "foo-foo" from HB? I find myself drawn to that sort of stuff sometimes if I'm being honest... especially during spring/summer. Hah !:)

Huckberry now sells scarves, slippers, watches, sandals, and a variety of camping gear and kitchen gadgets. Granted, most of us are office workers who will never see a ranch or farm. Still, heritage clothing creates the feeling of authenticity. I want to buy from a retailer that sells boots instead of slippers and flannel shirts instead of wine coolers or swim trunks. It makes me turn from Huckberry to Freenote Cloth or Taylor & Stitch who seem more authentic because of their more narrow heritage used product line. I also think it keeps management more focused on their core customers and stuff like quality and inventory control

Ahh I gotcha. Yeah - that makes total sense. They do have a dual-personality it seems, which I never thought of. One one hand, they have in-house Flint & Tinder which has some really cool, made in the US heritage pieces and other stuff. Then, they have Huckberry the growing online retailer selling $600 pizza ovens. I can totally see where you're coming from; for me though, I just try to take it piece by piece and understand that they're basically running 2 companies in one. Funny, too, they have a long-standing partnership with TS it seems where HB offers ALMOST all of the TS line. Thanks for the chat, mate! I'm off to the dentist... yuck.

Awesome and congrats! What color did you go with?

@@rockymtnstyle I went with field tan ... But I am almost certain I will be buying the Havana version before very long too. I'm a bit of a Barbour freak - I'm not even sure how many I have (10?) and am really looking forward to seeing how they compare. Thanks again for the video!

Thanks for the comment! I've got my Otter Wax bought and ready to go for the re-waxing! Yeah - I try to wear this anytime I DO go and do outdoorsy stuff, which is sometimes, but mostly "city" wear, so I'm not expecting to look like the picture... and I think most folks are closer to "city" than "outdoors" these days! Thanks again!

Hey! Thanks for the confirmation on size. I really like that forest color, but I'd assume since it's darker it'll probably be even tougher to get it to patina up. Cheers, mate!!

Thx! Maybe it's a grass is greener thing! What color did you go with?

@@rockymtnstyle I have one in olive green (they don't sell that one anymore) and one in navy.

I remember the navy now! I really want them to do an unlined in navy. That's my fav configuration of the 3. Goes so perfect with a heavy flannel down to 40 or so.

@@rockymtnstyle That would be a great configuration!

Thanks for the confirmation! Appreciate it!

Hah! I agree - zombie war would get me there faster! Planning a re-wax soon... gonna see how that goes. Thanks again, Jack!

You are welcome, Frank! Glad you found it helpful. I'll be doing a rewaxing video here in the next 10 days or so, also!

That's a cool idea! I've got some Ruezel matte styling paste... never smelled it (and I have bad smell) but I'm going to next time I use it! HAH! But yeah - great point about the odors and lack of washing. I'd never considered it.

Grinders gotta grind! Ha!! Most definitely, I think the other colors are far more interesting.

Thanks so much for saying so. The one guy was saying b/c the buttons and placket didn't hang straight up and down the shoulders were too small... got me a bit self-conscious at first but I think it's good! :) Yeah - 160 you could probably do a small as long as you're good with not layering a bunch of hoodies and whatnot under it. I think these things look better a little fitted anyways! God bless you also!

Doh!! Hold the line!! Always better to wait for exactly what you want. Cheers man.

I will wait it out until next years sale, unless it goes on sale in other time

Thank you for the comment. How much do you weigh?

I am 75 kg

Good question. I had to go check. Yes it still stands. Not super hard core, but it stands!

@@rockymtnstyle nice! I got one 6 months ago and it still stands but I figured that it will stop doing that eventually. Well, I will re-wax when te time comes. Thanks for this video! Super helpful.

Sure thing brother!!

I think if I didn't have the channel I wouldn't go to the trouble but I think it'll be fun to do it and help some folks out!

Huckberry can re-wax it for you.

How did I not know this? Ha! I'll ask the guys about it before I do the video.

Planned on doing it late winter, but now I've put it off until late summer... I've have it re-waxed and ready to go for Fall! :)

Haven't re-waxed it yet. Will be doing it soon, though, and filming a video for it. I agree and think you're right. More wax means more dirt gets held in place which means more patina. I think the longer lasting patina comes from the canvas wearing in and abrading and getting discolored due to that and long-term exposure... I guess we'll see! Thanks man!

@@rockymtnstyle I just rewaxed my coat. It looks closer to the picture, a little more patina. Note, I used way too much wax, note to remember for next time.

Ahh, cool stuff... when I do mine I'll try to go a little lighter!

You are 100% correct! I'm not even sure I'd get to that marketing photo in 5 years of city life, but I'll keep doing annual updates here on the channel, so it'll be fun to try! :) Thanks for the comment!

@@rockymtnstyle like the idea of annual updates. Good luck!

This is my Rogue Territory after maybe 8-ish months: i.imgur.com/QAvPwP5.jpg The back is quite a bit cleaner because it doesn't receive the dirt, smog, etc. the front does.

DUDE! That thing looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I wish! When I was in my 20s I had a CBR600RR, but staring down 40 I think my time has passed. I'm a bit clumsier now, too! Although I do still have my endorsement on my license, so I'll never say never... :)

Yeah and zero protection, when you go down

About 43.5 inches around. 👍👍

@@rockymtnstyle aha so I’m a 43 chest so do you think a medium would be better for me then? Can you get a sweatshirt under a medium.. or a denim shirt? The sizing on the website say I should be a large at 43 inches ?.. it’s confusing

Yeah this website isn't great I agree. No on the sweatshirt. I bought mine to wear over t-shirts or thin/medium button downs. Also, if you are taller than me, say 5 10 or more, I'd go large. I also chose medium so the sleeves would be proper length for me at 5'8.5"

@@rockymtnstyle I’m 5 10 and quite muscular as I train .. so quite big arms too.. but I do t want the jacket look too baggy and worry the large may carry too much material around the waist area.. equally I need it to go over my arms also. Have you tried a large ? I wonder if there is much difference between the two sizes?

I have a large in the wool lined. I have a video on that as well if you want to see how that fits me. It's quite a bit bigger... hmm... yeah I think you're right on the edge where M or L can both work, just depends on if you want a slimmer fit or a bigger fit. If you have big arms, though, I doubt the medium would work with a sweatshirt or sweater. The sleeves are also flannel lined so its harder to slide in and out.
