James Waxed Snap Jacket
Story
The refined younger brother of our iconic waxed trucker
Out of all the hardwearing staples that Flint and Tinder has designed over the years, this one might just be the most approachable and versatile. Lighter weight, built for year-round wear, and a touch more refined than its older brother—the Flannel Lined Waxed Trucker—the James Snap Waxed Jacket is a clean silhouette that is easy to wear with just about anything in your closet. It’s simple to dress up, not too slim or boxy, and free of unnecessary bells and whistles that can overcomplicate a look.
Features
- Re-waxable exterior for a lifetime of water-resistance
- 2 waist welt pockets
- Metal snap closures for easy on and off
- Adjustable cuff snaps that seal out the elements
- Interior welt pocket for hidden storage
- Hanging locker loop for quick hang-ups
- Wearer’s right chest welt pocket
Materials
With 150+ years of expertise, Halley Stevensons is one of the world’s leading manufacturers and innovators in waxed cotton and weatherproof fabrics. Based at Baltic Works in Dundee, UK, all of their dyeing and finishing is done under one roof. The beauty of their waxed cotton is that it’s built to last and responsibly sourced with innovative low-impact manufacturing techniques. As a cotton fabric, it adjusts to ambient temperatures—becoming soft and more breathable in warm weather, and more windproof when the mercury drops.
