Why We Love This Deal
You can’t argue with the vintage character and rugged durability of a waxed canvas jacket. These hardy layers have been a workwear staple for centuries, and they’re still a sought-after option for guys who value clothing with heritage and real craftsmanship.
You can, however, argue with their price: Quality waxed canvas jackets can cost you hundreds or more. That’s what makes Flint and Tinder’s Dry Wax Trucker Jacket at Huckberry such a standout. This layer offers exceptional materials and build quality without the painful price tag. Better yet, it’s one of the most versatile waxed jackets you can buy.
Flint and Tinder’s Dry Wax Trucker Jacket is available at Huckberry for $198, substantially less than FnT’s other waxed outerwear. In fact, this is the most affordable option in the entire collection—no discount required.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Body Fabric: 100% British Millerain Ranger 6 dry wax cotton
- Pocket Fabric: 100% cotton
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low, cool iron to restore finish
At under $200, the Dry Wax Trucker is not only the most affordable FnT waxed option, but it also beats the price of every waxed jacket from Barbour, another icon in the waxed outerwear category. But its bargain price is far from the only reason to buy it. In fact, for many shoppers, this might be the best waxed canvas option to get, regardless of cost.
Why? It’s made with a dry wax cotton fabric sourced from British Millerain, an esteemed purveyor of waxed canvas fabrics. The dry wax has a crisp, dry handfeel that’s totally different from the standard “wet” waxed canvas used in other Barbour and FnT jackets. It has a clean matte appearance, and it also makes the jacket machine washable—something you can’t do with a wet canvas jacket. In addition, the Dry Wax Trucker is unlined, so it’s lighter and more breathable than lined options. That makes it into a true four-season player: It’s light enough to wear in milder conditions, and it happily layers over a sweater for more warmth in the cold.
If you’re new to waxed canvas, the Dry Wax Trucker is a great place to start. You can wear it all the time; it’s easy to care for, and you’ll still get all the ruggedness and charm that waxed canvas is known for. If you want more warmth, I’d recommend the classic standard waxed jacket, Flint and Tinder’s Flannel Lined Waxed Trucker, which has a cozy flannel lining and a wet canvas body that’ll patina beautifully (I own this jacket and absolutely love it). Prefer a slightly more formal look? Opt for the Harrington, which has a stand collar and a clean layout without chest pockets—it’s reminiscent of Barbour jackets. On that note, if you want to lean into more of a classic hunting jacket look, go for the FnT Dry Wax Field Jacket, which has a lower hem than the trucker and a handsome plaid blanket lining for warmth.
What Shoppers Are Saying
Shoppers have piled up tons of great reviews for the Dry Wax Trucker. Reviewers noted, “It looks awesome, is well made, and will last forever.” The unlined design makes it lighter and easier to wear in warmer conditions, but it’s also great for layering over a T-shirt or thin sweater, too. Its balanced design, comfortable yet rugged, makes it “another home run by F&T” and arguably the “holy grail” option in the brand’s waxed canvas lineup.
This is the season for waxed jackets, and Flint and Tinder’s lineup always sells quickly, so snag your Dry Wax Trucker before your size and preferred colorway go out of stock.
