This is the Flint and Tinder Hudson Jacket, its outer layer is British Millerain canvas waxed with coconut wax for weatherproofing, and it has an Abraham Moons flannel liner – one of the UK’s oldest woolen mills still in operation.
The Waxed Hudson Jacket was developed as a modern interpretation of the rugged waxed canvas jackets of old that were worn for protection from the elements decades before the invention of materials like GoreTex.
The jacket has a classic five-pocket design, with two standard flap pockets on the front that are secured with metal snaps, there are two hand warmer pockets behind them, and there’s a slightly elevated front pocket for valuables that you want to keep up above the waist area.
The Hudson Jacket is based on classic outdoors and adventure jackets, with waxed canvas construction for waterproofing and a warm 100% cotton flannel liner.
On the inside of the jacket you’ll find an inner chest pocket for a phone or wallet, the Hudson Jacket has a 100% cotton flannel lining from Abraham Moons, a naturally hypoallergenic material, and there is corduroy trim under the collar and at the cuffs for comfort.
The jacket’s primary shell is made from British Millerain 100% Tekwax Evolution 8 waxed canvas, which gives it a drier handfeel and enhanced weather-resistant properties when compared with traditional waxed cotton.
Sizing ranges from XS up to 3XL and there’s a sizing guide on the store page to help you get the right size first time. The MSRP is $298 USD, and you can choose between the Black, Forest, Navy, or Tan colorways.
