Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Dry Wax Trucker Jacket – A Revamped Take on a Huckberry Bestseller

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.

Style Pick of the Week: Levi’s Made & Crafted Type II Trucker Jacket

A newly iconic silhouette from an iconic brand.

Does it get much better when it comes to classic spring style than an equally classic denim jacket from Levi’s? Not really, folks. The rugged, timeless denim jacket is a surefire way to take your spring style from good to great, especially when that jacket happens to be the Levi’s Made & Crafted Type II Trucker Jacket — in short, it’s the one piece of spring outerwear you need now. And what can it do that other jackets can’t? Plenty. It’s got a unique silhouette designed with the open road in mind — Levi’s pioneered the trucker jacket, with its multitude of pockets, for West Coast explorers and Gold Rush diggers, and that same heritage and history can be found in the Levi’s Made & Crafted Type II Trucker Jacket today. In fact, it’s all the more helpful that the Made & Crafted line itself plays off that heritage in a way that’s even more authentic than the regular Levi’s main line. Designs happen to be based on archival styles from the brand, so it’s no surprise that they’ve crushed it with the Levi’s Made & Crafted Type II Trucker Jacket.

So, what makes the timeless denim jacket a worthwhile addition to your spring outerwear rotation, particularly when you might be more inclined to reach for a weather-ready waxed canvas jacket or a water-resistant parka? Well, those styles are all well and good … but none of them can match the rugged versatility of the Levi’s Made & Crafted Type II Trucker Jacket, and that’s just … the way it is.

Levi's Made & Crafted

Authentic detailing lifts this jacket a cut above the rest.

The Levi’s Made & Crafted Type II Trucker Jacket also features the sort of stylish details and easygoing appeal you’d expect from a spring denim jacket, including the use of 100 percent cotton. That makes it an easy choice to wear with laidback spring essentials, from a crisp white tee and tan chinos to suede chukka boots, black denim and a white Oxford shirt (a suitably edgy mix of high-low style).

The Levi’s Made & Crafted Type II Trucker Jacket also features the perfect amount of room for your everyday carry essentials, what with front hip patch pockets. Again, this underrated denim jacket is unique, eye-catching and absolutely ready for whatever you throw at it, from patio happy hours to farmer’s market visits to a weekend brewery tour (and then some). It’s assuredly what you would expect when on the hunt for a classic denim jacket from Levi’s — what are you waiting for?
