I've got the Huckberry waxed jacket with the flannel lining, and it's fucking amazing. It's been rainy as hell here in NYC recently, and I've really appreciated having something warm and water resistant that still looks rugged but also looks smart and stylist.
Are the pockets lined? I’ve seen a fairly older review that mentions the pockets aren’t lined and your hands could get a little of that waxy “clammy” feel.
@@josephparenteau4107 I have the Huckberry (F&T) Trucker jacket too. The pockets are unlined. Definitely not a make or break situation, IMO. This is one of my favorite jackets I’ve ever owned.
I was looking at different options for a waxed jacket and ended up choosing the Bradley Mountain 4 seasons waxed canvas jacket. They are all handmade here in the USA from a small company. They are quality built and I love mine. Its a bit more expensive than the Filson at $369, but I dont regret spending a little more to get a US made piece.
Having a 46inch chest and a 34inch waist, at 6’4” and 210lb, Huckberry is the obvious choice. Their tall sizes, and the cinch to adjust the waist is what sets it apart from Thursday. I own a pair of Thursday boots, and they’re phenomenal. Too bad they don’t have a cinch on their waxed canvas. It’s a great company.
@@Chris-ok7ep I got the Large Tall. My arm length on dress shirts is 37” and this size is perfect. Just got it last night and tried it on. It has a little extra room at the waist, but was able to cinch it tighter with the one button on the bottom which helped a bit. 10/10 recommend that size if your dimensions are the same as mine! Fits amazing in the chest and is the perfect length overall.
Would love to see this comparison include the Bradley Mountain Cabin jacket. The fit and finish on that one compared to my huckberry one is pretty killer. Realistically you can't go wrong between huckberry, rogue territory or bradley mtn (haven't tried the filson myself but its on the list)
@@Stridewise the logo is by far the worst part but I have seen some folks remove it and it looked very clean still. Have you seen the upcoming g-1 bomber?
Bradley Mountain looks great. I like the small utility pockets they (and Filson) have. Another good jacket is the Sidnaw Company. It's unlined but very heavy duty!
Yeah they did that with some of their products but I think they had to accept that their stuff shouldn't get any more expensive, which is a nice level of self awareness from Filson haha
I pulled the trigger on the Wool-lined Huckberry Trucker this last spring. A bit more coin but I'm very glad I did. It's a bit heavier/warmer and I feel like it has a longer wearable period between seasons here in the Midwest.
Awesome! I just got the new dark brown Filson Short Lined Cruiser for riding my motorcycle. And - I don't know if you can edit your video but Rip wears the black Filson SLC in Yellowstone!
I actually own the one rip has. Definitely not made in Bangladesh. It's from a while back and says Merica on the tag. But the patina is coming in nice. I also own a ship John V2 I found at a thrift store. It's heavy but it's well put together.
Worth noting on price that if you’re willing to wait you can get the Huckberry jacket on sale for cheaper than the Thursday and the sales are pretty consistent Great vid 👍
@@king_jast the part that would touch the back of your hand is lined with the same fleece material as the rest of the jacket. The other part is just the waxed canvas. I think it's a good design.
I have the wool lined "fint and tender" and its a tank. I pull it out on colder days. Its my heaviest waxed canvas jacket. Its slightly roomier than my other waxed canvas jackets and I think the canvas is thicker. Cant go wrong with that jacket.
RM Williams has a pretty solid, more modern looking waxed jacket using Halley Stevens waxed cloth that is absolutely incredible. Worth a look if you want a more tan option with a zipper.
I have an older run of the Huckberry (man it was cheaper back then) mine has a cotton lining in herringbone flannel. Still going strong after 5 years. It does soften up a bit.
Hands down my favorite wax jacket is the one that Carl Murawski did with Heat Straps. On the pricier end of the spectrum but absolutely worth it in my opinion.
Totally I work in a data centre and the heatstrap has been punish for quite a bit with all the lifting, fixing, crawling etc. It has saved me from cuts too!
I’ve noticed from videos that the f&T wool-lined version has a 10-oz shell versus the flannel (7 oz). Aesthetically, that means the heavier one has a less crinkly look.
I picked up the Freenote Cloth waxed jacket. I did get it at a 30% discount at a local store which certainly affects my enthusiasm for it since the list price of $450 is quite high. That being said it's my favorite jacket and I have no doubt it rises above the quality (objective) and design details (subjective) of these other jackets. Having had the opportunity to handle and try on the Filson and Huckberry options I feel like I can say that comfortably.
That Freenote jacket is really cool, it's a nice pattern that stands out from all the trucker jackets. I've tried it on at Standard and Strange, I love some Freenote!
@@JP-8924 Wouldn't count on that particular deal coming back... I got it at a store called Guevel in Kansas City. It was February and I think they were trying to move some last season merchandise post-Christmas before spring. They have a nice web store and seem to always have some stuff marked down. I highly recommend checking them out either online or in person.
I've been torn between Filson & the wool-lined Flint & Tinder for my bf for Christmas. I thought this would help but now I *really* have no idea 😂 thank you for the solid review!!
Obviously you've given Barbour some shine, but the Bedale is pretty great. Or the beckby tensaw, which you've also covered. That said, all of these are pretty great choices. Amd the corgi comparison was brilliant.
i've had the huckberry one for a long time now and it ages so nicely. The only thing about it that bugs me is how long the sleeves are haha I usually roll them a little
I beg to differ (0:30). Deerskin, goatskin, horsehide, etc. require no maintenance or waterproofing, at least not before decades of use. Oiled/waxed canvas is a deal breaker for me because it will fade on clothing, especially in hot weather.
Would it be a ridiculous idea to do a video on the origin story of Stridewise? Where you came from? What you have done? How you ended up living in New York?
I think it'd be a bit self serving but maybe I could! When I do more introspective ones like this they bomb haha th-cam.com/video/-JsszO4gMfo/w-d-xo.html
I have a Flint and Tinder flannel lined jacket, and I do like it, but I have two Longshore waxed canvas jackets from Taylor Stitch, which prefer. Mainly because of longer styling and their clothes in general just fit me better.
@Clubber_Lang About 5'8", 130lbs. The size 36 in all of their clothes have fit me very well (I have a closet full 😄), with the exception of the Golden Bear Moto jacket, which I exchanged for a 38.
Great video. I bought an unlined one from Gustin a few years ago. $139, US made, and it looks great. They make them a couple of times a year. The only con is their wait times are getting ridiculous.
I bought the Huckberry last year I’m very happy with this jacket even though it wasn’t my first choice as I wanted a ship John jacket but was too hard to get
Super useful comparison, thanks! I'd been tossing up between Huckberry and Thursday, but as a shorter guy on who jackets become long by default, Huckberry vs Filson sounds like it might be the way to go
Probably bought the last made in America Filson SLC. Got it a month ago from a shop in Switzerland. Don’t ask me about price, I paid in Swiss currency and their currency is bloody strong 😉
Thanks, I love waxed jackets. How do these compare to Rogue territory’s supply jacket? In my opinion it looks way cooler than the trucker jackets in this video
RGT's is cool but the fit is unforgivingly slim, I'm a slim dude and couldn't make it work for me. It's unlined too so it's clammier on the skin. Definitely the coolest looking though, more versatile too
@@Stridewise indeed! It has a weird fit, but I tried the L and I think it works for me. The unlined aspect does bother me, I got a waxed jacket from Loyal Stricklin’ and it leaves me sticky every time I wear it
Great video. It’s probably worth noting that the Filson was really hard to find most of last year due to Rip wearing it in Yellowstone. The Tin Cloth Cruiser, and Cruiser short, are two totally different jackets, imo. I ended up buying the cruiser in cinder(dark brown) and it is a great fall/winter jacket because it is a bit longer. you do need to layer with it. The Cruiser Short is a lot smaller and feels lighter and to me seems both more stylish and dressier, while still being rugged enough for actual use outside. The new colors are welcome. I’d love to see a review of waxed cotton vests like the Filson, since I am tired of polar fleece from one of the big three plastic clothing companies.
I remember going to my local Filson store and the employees kept telling anyone who even glanced at the cruiser in black that "HEY HEY RIP FROM YELLOWSTONE WEARS THAT" was pretty funny
Great video nick. I recently was on a waxed jacket journey after being tired of sweating in my Rouge territory unlined jacket that never fit quite right. After buying both the Filson and Huckberry I went with the huckberry. It took a couple of sizes to get the right fit ( I’m 5’ 11” 190 with a 44 chest and a M was the right size. Enough room to button up with a light sweater. I felt like the Filson looked nice, but the boxy fit and too long sleeves had it looking more like a work jacket vs style, and it felt very thick, more like a winter coat vs fall jacket. Love the channel! Cheers.
@@Stridewise I forget about them often as an option for my wide feet but I think they have a real hit on their hands with the 002. Im also really stoked about the 007
The fitment on my Huckberry is very odd. I'm tall and have broad shoulders and it feels short in the torso and the tight in the shoulders. I got mine in 2021, now Huckberry sells a tall version. TL;DR if you are tall, make sure you get the tall version of the jacket
Great video man, now that i have the filson in my hanse all i can say is that even though its made in Bangladesh the jacket its elf from look and feel is absolutely my favorite, the color, the fabric, the thickness and everything else except for maybe one or two small details is awesome. I sense this jacket may become some what of a cult classic (legend) like the Baracuta but in its own lunchbox
its also a question of the material, haley stevenson is more natural and British Millerain co uses petroleum bases wax, would love know more about it as it certainly feels and looks great, tough and is thicker , would a natural base fabric at 14 ounces feel the same or not :)@@Stridewise
"Even though it's made in Bangladesh" I love how peopoe like to pretend that "Made in USA" is better even though the country mostly produces junk in pretty much every department. From cars to TVs and everything in between. If you want to to support local business then sure but stop acting like "Made in USA" is better. It's not
yes i agree, I talking about when made in the USA or Germany etc was good, was done right, these days its a mess, because that can do anything almost everywhere, like Bangladesh but at what cost, because i have to say the jacket is really well made@@jihigh482
I don’t have a wax canvas jacket. I have denim and an extremely thick denim jacket, but no waxed canvas. I guess I prefer to get soaked on the rare occasion it rains here.
I kept waiting for you to address the very different look of the wax treatment on the Thursday. Is it basically because it was very new? Not mentioned in the video but I love the Rogue Territory waxed jacket with its rounded pocket style. Fitting is very odd on that one though.
Different ratios of wax/oil from Halley Stevensons (who make the cloth on the Thursday jacket) vs British Millerain (who make the cloth for Filson) and Fairfield Textiles (who make the fabric for the Huckberry). Fairfield Textiles/Martexin seem to have more wax and therefore patina super quickly, the UK brands seem to use more oils which makes it shinier and more even of a finish.
I just got one and I’m on the fence about it. The ripstop “lines” give it a more dressy look IMO, and I’m not sure that’s what I was looking for. Structurally however, it’s definitely heavier than the standard flannel lined model, and it has polyester lined sleeves. I’m hoping there will be some professional reviews of it soon as I’d also like to know what other people think of it. It’s definitely unique.
I have had Filson products for 40 years. My only problem is they sizing varies quite a bit. I like the waxed jacket because the lining is wool and removable. Huckberrys is cotton which when wet is terrible and actually bad in a survivor situation.
Been so torn and haven’t been able to pull the trigger on the right fit. I’m 5’11”, 185lbs with a similar build. Should I get a medium or large from Huckberry?
I wear that exact filson logging as rain gear while it might be more expensive and I wish it was made in the USA filson is the only one of those three that will fix it free not if but when I shred it at work
Will you do a video on the P&CO instrument overland jacket? It just came out. It’s a 10oz waxed canvas jacket. The company is based in the UK I believe. I ordered one because I thought it looked really good had to get it. Hope you look into it! Great video as always!
Good timing. I have been looking at the huckberry waxed canvas jacket for a few days now and was about to pull the trigger until I saw your video. I had no idea Thursday made one, so now my choice is harder 🤣
The only thing I don’t like about the Thursday jacket is how wrinkly and cheap the canvas looks in comparison to the other two. Can you iron it without ruining the wax layer?
The jacket was fairly new when I got it, the wrinkles come out with a bit of wear. I feel like you're not meant to iron waxed canvas? Actually you could try, what's the worst that could happen. A really waxy iron, I guess
Earlier this year, I bought the Kuhl "Burr" jacket, unlined. By far it is the best fitting, and best looking jacket I've ever worn. I'm 5'8", 165 lbs, square shoulders, and 32/33 sleeve. The "medium" is a hair tight in the shoulders, but otherwise a perfect fit. The compliments started day one!
Shame the Huckberry light jacket only comes in 2 colours. Some of us sweat a river just going around the corner to get the milk.... And that's in Sydney winter
huckberry.com/store/flint-and-tinder/category/p/81969-unlined-waxed-trucker it's in three now! tbh I prefer the Bighorn jacket for lightweight fare but I don't think it sold that well
I recently ordered Thursday Boot Co.'s leather jacket (It's Anejo Racer Jacket) It's been only a week wearing the jacket (I work in an office in Chicago, IL and wear the jacket on my commute). The leather is already starting to peel and getting flaky a bit and it is concerning me. It's made with lambskin (at least they claim so). Is this normal? How is your Thursday jacket holding up for you?
A great jacket but I have trouble recommending something with such a middle finger of a wait time haha did you see our video on it? th-cam.com/video/3u4knc8dg28/w-d-xo.html
The Thursday one just doesn't look nice to me at all, sorry. Both Huckberry and FIlson's are classic patterns. That "wetter" looking canvas on the Thursday works in e.g., Barbour jackets with more complicated patterns, but looks weird when it gets all wrinkly on that kind of minimalist, featureless pattern. It also fits in a weird baggy way, the buttons look cheap...I hate to say it but it definitely is the least attractive of the three and very much looks like a boot company trying to make a jacket without the years of refinement/expertise it takes to make a good pattern.
Hey man I'm just glad this helped you decide! I kinda wish my Huckberry was freshly waxed so people could see how it looks new, but they def use a drier wax
@@Stridewise I like both and like the drier wax when the canvas has thicker yarns and a rougher surface, and the wetter wax look with a smoother canvas. It just doesn't work as well for a trucker for me, and something about Thursday's pattern just seems off. By the way I totally feel you on the short arms club thing. I actually got a Wills and had them shorten the sleeves and it was the best decision I ever made.

"Vegan, I guess" lmao

I bought the Thursday in olive and love it! I’m almost 6’ 190 lbs and the xl fits nicely. Thanks for the review!
This was the fitting tip I needed for the Thursday jacket, thank you
Would have preferred that Filson raise their prices rather than outsource, the US textile industry really needs all the help it can get.
Yeah they did that with some of their products but I think they had to accept that their stuff shouldn't get any more expensive, which is a nice level of self awareness from Filson haha

Yeah and watching this video back, the thicker canvas does LOOK different to the others too, it folds differently and stuff. I get the appeal
its also a question of the material, haley stevenson is more natural and British Millerain co uses petroleum bases wax, would love know more about it as it certainly feels and looks great, tough and is thicker , would a natural base fabric at 14 ounces feel the same or not :)@@Stridewise
"Even though it's made in Bangladesh"
I love how peopoe like to pretend that "Made in USA" is better even though the country mostly produces junk in pretty much every department. From cars to TVs and everything in between.
If you want to to support local business then sure but stop acting like "Made in USA" is better. It's not
yes i agree, I talking about when made in the USA or Germany etc was good, was done right, these days its a mess, because that can do anything almost everywhere, like Bangladesh but at what cost, because i have to say the jacket is really well made@@jihigh482
I don’t have a wax canvas jacket. I have denim and an extremely thick denim jacket, but no waxed canvas. I guess I prefer to get soaked on the rare occasion it rains here.
I adore my Rogue Territory (wool lined) and Freenote (alpaca lined) waxed jackets.
they get call outs in the NEXT waxed jacket video haha
I kept waiting for you to address the very different look of the wax treatment on the Thursday. Is it basically because it was very new? Not mentioned in the video but I love the Rogue Territory waxed jacket with its rounded pocket style. Fitting is very odd on that one though.
Different ratios of wax/oil from Halley Stevensons (who make the cloth on the Thursday jacket) vs British Millerain (who make the cloth for Filson) and Fairfield Textiles (who make the fabric for the Huckberry). Fairfield Textiles/Martexin seem to have more wax and therefore patina super quickly, the UK brands seem to use more oils which makes it shinier and more even of a finish.
huckberry jacket works best for you, the thursday has a baggy fit
yeah i love the extra length but it's less trim than i'd like
Great vid. What are your thoughts on the newest entry into the canvas jacket pool from Railcar Fine Goods the type II 18oz jacket?
Do you have an opinion on Huckberry's new waxed ripstop limited edition jacket? Its 10oz and really making me think hard about my purchase 😅
I just got one and I’m on the fence about it. The ripstop “lines” give it a more dressy look IMO, and I’m not sure that’s what I was looking for. Structurally however, it’s definitely heavier than the standard flannel lined model, and it has polyester lined sleeves. I’m hoping there will be some professional reviews of it soon as I’d also like to know what other people think of it. It’s definitely unique.
Is the Thursday boots jacket the Olive colour
Freenote Cloth RJ-1⁉
this was a good review. very useful. Thanks.
I have had Filson products for 40 years. My only problem is they sizing varies quite a bit. I like the waxed jacket because the lining is wool and removable. Huckberrys is cotton which when wet is terrible and actually bad in a survivor situation.
huckberry's lining is polyester and filson's is cotton? but filson's cotton seems less absorbent
I believe this person is talking about the unlined version of the tin cloth jacket. You can get a zip-in liner that is very warm.
I wish Thursday would update their size guide. The fact it only shows the chest measurements is pretty annoying
I prefer my RJ from freenote. My most favorite of all time!!
i REQUIRE that black rj2 denim shearling one i've had an alert for it on Grailed/eBay for over a year haha
Been so torn and haven’t been able to pull the trigger on the right fit. I’m 5’11”, 185lbs with a similar build. Should I get a medium or large from Huckberry?
I got a large but another guy commented with those stats and he got a medium :/. I'd say large. exchanges are free
Go with Filson "Might as well have the best" if you can stomach the made in bangladesh on the label.
I wear that exact filson logging as rain gear while it might be more expensive and I wish it was made in the USA filson is the only one of those three that will fix it free not if but when I shred it at work
arghhh I forgot to mention the free lifetime repairs!!!
If you are actually working, Filson is the only choice. It sounds like you are!
How is that Thursday jacket holding up after 8 months?
Will you do a video on the P&CO instrument overland jacket? It just came out. It’s a 10oz waxed canvas jacket. The company is based in the UK I believe. I ordered one because I thought it looked really good had to get it. Hope you look into it! Great video as always!
i have a 'best waxed jackets' video coming out and i mentioned them! i haven't handled it but for the price, people should prob know about them.
@@Stridewise Sickk, I’ll be sure to watch it. Maybe one day you can do a review video of the jacket with all the specs.
The Thursday seems to be a good deal. Unfortunately they look like a wet crumbled shirt. Even on their website.
Surprising given the thicker canvas but the wax isn't a dry wax. In any case the wax'll wear off
You should try the Relwen, suited for the warmer states.
I tried on the Filson, and I hated how the sleeves fit. It's a short jacket which I liked but hated the bulky sleeves
Good timing. I have been looking at the huckberry waxed canvas jacket for a few days now and was about to pull the trigger until I saw your video. I had no idea Thursday made one, so now my choice is harder 🤣
Haha glad I could "help" (not help)
Sorry the best jacket with the best history is the Belstaff Trailmaster. I live in mine from autumn to late spring.
Iconic super cool British biker jacket.
My Barbours are all I’ll ever need.
The only thing I don’t like about the Thursday jacket is how wrinkly and cheap the canvas looks in comparison to the other two. Can you iron it without ruining the wax layer?
The jacket was fairly new when I got it, the wrinkles come out with a bit of wear. I feel like you're not meant to iron waxed canvas? Actually you could try, what's the worst that could happen. A really waxy iron, I guess
If you don’t mind me asking, what is your height and weight?
6ft, 180-190lb
I'm curious if anyone has tried the Kuhl outlaw waxed jacket? I can't find as many reviews of that one
I’d like to know about it as well, I tried one on at s local retailer and liked it
Earlier this year, I bought the Kuhl "Burr" jacket, unlined. By far it is the best fitting, and best looking jacket I've ever worn. I'm 5'8", 165 lbs, square shoulders, and 32/33 sleeve. The "medium" is a hair tight in the shoulders, but otherwise a perfect fit. The compliments started day one!
Great video. Can I ask a qts.
I'm 5'10" average build. Do you think size medium fits me best for the Thursday version?
hmmm. i'm 6 feet and a little broad and Large is for me. Soo, yeah I think if you're not super swole the medium would work
Where did you get the jeans you paired with the Thursdays jacket?
Shame the Huckberry light jacket only comes in 2 colours. Some of us sweat a river just going around the corner to get the milk.... And that's in Sydney winter
huckberry.com/store/flint-and-tinder/category/p/81969-unlined-waxed-trucker it's in three now! tbh I prefer the Bighorn jacket for lightweight fare but I don't think it sold that well
Thanks for the video. Good information
Glad it was helpful Jobro!
Schaefer? Kind of incomplete without including them.
this isn't a list of every waxed jacket on earth though
Please don't ever let that man touch a chainsaw again
Fortunately for you he died in a chainsaw accident while filming
I need a jacket with adjustable cuff... just saying
How old were you when you moved to the states from Australia? You have a great underlying Aussie accent.
Or New Zealand- I can only tell when y'all say "six"
haha I've been in the US for 11 years!
I recently ordered Thursday Boot Co.'s leather jacket (It's Anejo Racer Jacket)
It's been only a week wearing the jacket (I work in an office in Chicago, IL and wear the jacket on my commute).
The leather is already starting to peel and getting flaky a bit and it is concerning me. It's made with lambskin (at least they claim so).
Is this normal? How is your Thursday jacket holding up for you?
yikes dude, my jacket is holdilng up great. i'd get in touch with thursday they're pretty good at handling these issues
@@Stridewise Thanks for answering!
I read Thursday's return policy, and hope they'll take this seriously.
Love what you do! Keep up great work!
Got my Ship John Wills on now. It's going to last a pretty darn long time.
A great jacket but I have trouble recommending something with such a middle finger of a wait time haha did you see our video on it? th-cam.com/video/3u4knc8dg28/w-d-xo.html
Costly AND made in Bangladesh is a no bueno for me brother.
Better materials
Thursday boots jackets. Good fit and quality.
Those extra 2 inches in length are going to get so many converts
Nick work with the getting the ripped selfie in the video Nick.
Save yourself a ton of money. KUHL "Burr" jacket.
Why not include the Rogue Territory jacket?
This is just comparing three trucker style ones, I’m putting rgt in another vid soon!
Filson..I have this jacket..its the best
what do you do about the wax thinning out like yours is?
I prefer the breathability of unwaxed canvas but here's how to rewax th-cam.com/video/A8S4M6-BtJ0/w-d-xo.html
Whose is best…? Barbour…
Barbour
The Thursday one just doesn't look nice to me at all, sorry. Both Huckberry and FIlson's are classic patterns. That "wetter" looking canvas on the Thursday works in e.g., Barbour jackets with more complicated patterns, but looks weird when it gets all wrinkly on that kind of minimalist, featureless pattern. It also fits in a weird baggy way, the buttons look cheap...I hate to say it but it definitely is the least attractive of the three and very much looks like a boot company trying to make a jacket without the years of refinement/expertise it takes to make a good pattern.
Hey man I'm just glad this helped you decide! I kinda wish my Huckberry was freshly waxed so people could see how it looks new, but they def use a drier wax
@@Stridewise I like both and like the drier wax when the canvas has thicker yarns and a rougher surface, and the wetter wax look with a smoother canvas. It just doesn't work as well for a trucker for me, and something about Thursday's pattern just seems off.
By the way I totally feel you on the short arms club thing. I actually got a Wills and had them shorten the sleeves and it was the best decision I ever made.
Vegan? Finally, a jacket that caters to my dietary needs.
