It can prove tricky to take on an all-time modern menswear classic and update it accordingly, improving upon it all the while — but that’s what Huckberry has done by throwing down the proverbial gauntlet, so to speak, in taking a new, fresh look at the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket. Yes indeed, it’s true: Flint and Tinder took its iconic, best-selling Waxed Trucker Jacket and retooled it in an entirely new fabrication just in time for spring, and it’s assuredly one of the best trucker jackets for men you can buy now.

The trucker jacket is a casually rugged style move all on its own, ideal for layering up over a T-shirt, a short-sleeve henley or a printed camp collar shirt for a mix of high-low style. Throw in the fact that Flint and Tinder kept the same silhouette as its legendary Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, and it’s clear that the Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket has plenty going for it.

Its unlined design starts with tough yet supple, hard-working British Millerain Ranger 6 dry-wax cloth — Millerain, of course, is known for designing some of the sturdiest, toughest waxed fabrics on the market, so suffice to say, the good folks at Huckberry got this one correct in every sense of the word.

As its names suggests, the dry finish on the Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket switches things up from the typical waxed cotton fabrication, as Huckberry notes, and this rugged jacket just so happens to be water and wind-resistant. Side waist pockets and a button flap chest pocket deliver the crucial everyday carry storage and performance you expect from Huckberry’s lineup of fan-favorite trucker jackets, and custom Flint and Tinder hardware (another feature noted for its distinctive durability) finishes off the handsome Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket in sturdy fashion.

As per tradition with Huckberry’s lineup of Americana-inspired styles, casually rugged looks aplenty are yours for the taking with the Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket — Dark Olive, Fatigue Green or an especially striking shade of blue should prove plenty wearable with everything from expertly faded blue jeans to inky black selvedge denim or light grey Flint and Tinder 365 Pants.

The Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket delivers the promise of durable, hard-working performance and eye-catching style, as one should certainly expect (at least in my experience) from the good folks at Huckberry. What more can you ask for from one o the best jackets for men to wear this spring, period? Cheers to dependable layering in the season ahead, my friends.
