It feels like there’s always room for improvement — or at least, room to scour the market itself — when it comes to the most rugged, functional and dare I say, simply the coolest outerwear on the market. Shoulder season presents an optimal time to wholeheartedly revamp your jacket rotation, shoring things up for the brisk weather at hand.

While a peacoat or topcoat cover more formal matters, and a trucker jacket covers casually rugged style situations, a touch more coverage is needed at times — the coverage only of the best men’s field jackets can bring, an aim met quite handily by the new Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Field Jacket. It starts off in fine fashion with the use of durable British Millerain Ranger wax canvas, a modern innovation building off the English company’s penchant for durable, water-resistant and abrasion-resistant fabrics.

After all, Huckberry calls the company “a pioneer of waxed cotton fabric since 1880,” and this particular fabric should feel crisp yet lightweight. It’s in keeping with the already impressive lineup of Huckberry waxed jackets, including its famed flannel-lined trucker jacket and a rather more recent take on the Harrington jacket in waxed cotton.

The dry wax on the aptly named Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Field Jacket represents a different treatment than Huckberry’s other waxed jackets while still developing a patina and proving plenty easy to wear, thanks to its nylon sleeve lining for an easy-on, easy-off approach.

And helpfully, added coverage is the name of the game with the longer cut of the Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Field Jacket, which comes in a handsome trio of color options like Olive, Reddish Brown and of course, British Khaki. Each gets a contrasting moleskin brown collar, while flannel lining delivers warmth that shouldn’t cause any overheating, even when worn atop a flannel shirt.

Huckberry has certainly thought of just about everything when it comes to the best field jackets for men, including a highly useful set of six external pockets, an added touch for your everyday carry anytime you step out into the field. And as it were, you’re going to want to step out into the field just about as often as possible this season wearing one of the best men’s jackets for fall — Huckberry delivers an ace in the hole once more, my friends.
