Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket – A Hard-Wearing Spin on a Fall Classic

Best waxed jackets for men.

In my experience, there should be a joy in getting dressed for the autumn season with the best fall style essentials. After all, the season’s more brisk climes give you plenty of opportunity to wear your favorite layers as frequently as possible, from richly crafted chambray shirts to thick sweaters and of course, an array of the best waxed jackets on the market.

With its water-repellent finish and durable waxed cotton or cotton canvas construction, waxed outerwear is practically a must-have for the guy who values casually rugged style, and that’s where Huckberry has cornered the market over the past decade or so (just check out the photo below for an example of what the good folks at Huckberry do so well).

Huckberry’s Flint and Tinder lineup, as you well know if you read the blog, is already assuredly well-known for making one of the best waxed trucker jackets on the market, but they’ve expanded their Flint and Tinder roster in recent years to include slightly more refined silhouettes.

That includes the Harrington jacket, originally a style fashioned in Britain to fight back against wind and rain — and later worn rather famously by style icons like Steve McQueen (he preferred a Baracuta G9 Harrington, for the record — which Huckberry has also sold in the past!).

And now, Huckberry is stepping up to the plate once more with another version of one of the best men’s waxed jackets, and this time, it’s the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket — an even more weather-ready version of a truly legendary piece of outerwear.

It’s packed with the sort of functional bells and whistles one has come to expect over the years from Flint and Tinder, including hard-wearing fabric (in this case, a dry wax Halley Stevensons fabric made to repel wind and rain).

The fact that the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket comes in rich Dark Navy as well as a cool, crisp and neutral Dark Olive is a major bonus in terms of style points, but it’s the handsome fabrication that makes the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket such a winner in my book.

In my experience wearing the utterly classic yet modern Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket, it’s plenty comfortable and not overly bulky — a micro-flannel interior lining provides warmth, while poly-lined sleeves make for an easy-on, easy-off wearing experience.

The corduroy collar and cuffs that finish off the casually rugged Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket are a timeless touch, while a buttoned throat-tab closure provides more coverage should you need it (and of course, the custom F&T hardware is substantial and sturdy).

If you ask me, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket is the definition of a grab-and-go travel jacket, especially layered over a thermal henley with dark blue jeans, but if I were you, I’d also look to the icon Steve McQueen for more insight on how to wear a Harrington jacket. Upgrade your outerwear ASAP with the Flint and Tinder Waxed Harrington Jacket, my friends.

The Friday Read: A London Jaunt & The Best Spring Menswear for Travel

Best waxed jackets for men this spring.

I don’t know about you, but reliability and rugged style is something I can’t quite get enough of when I build out my wardrobe of spring style essentials, let alone my wardrobe of the best travel gear.

Shop Flint and Tinder at Huckberry

Across the past week, I’ve found myself not in Brooklyn, but in multiple locales across Ireland and England as part of my many freelance writing pursuits, including covering the best spirits and the best spring menswear on the market.

Perhaps you’ve been following along with my travels on Instagram — those travels included time in Dublin, Tullamore and Galway, courtesy of famed Irish whiskey maker Tullamore DEW.

And those travels have also taken me down to London, all in the name of a brief stopover between yes, another spirits press trip. My London trip, of course, has proven more leisurely, and more focused on the best beers in London than Irish whiskey.

I also made time to visit a favorite London spot, Rough Trade Records, in addition to plenty of strolling across the city listening to The National, my very favorite band. What else can you ask for from a trip, right??

I’m far from done, though. From foggy London, I’ll trek to Germany and into the Black Forest with Monkey ’47 Gin, all on a quest to learn about the forthcoming release of this year’s edition of the Monkey ’47 Distiller’s Cut bottle. How’s that for an adventure where the journey is the destination?? For all these pursuits, I’ve certainly had to stay ready in terms of both form and function in my wardrobe.

And again, that’s why I’ve packed my favorite travel duffle bag with the best spring menswear from Huckberry (like that rugged men’s jacket shown above). After all, everything from wind to rain, breezy days and blazing sunsets — in Ireland, England, Germany and beyond — call for stylish, reliable men’s style essentials.

For your next spring getaway, look to pack up accordingly — naturally, that’s where this weekend’s duo of menswear posts (Saturday’s Style Pick and Sunday’s sale rundown) will assuredly help out in fine form. Check back tomorrow, layer up in style and thanks, as ever, for reading!
