At 40% Off, This Waxed Canvas Jacket Is a Direct Threat to Your Barbour

Are you, by chance, the last GQ reader on the planet without a waxed canvas jacket? Great to meet you, sir, and thanks for swinging by. Lest you feel unwelcome, though, there is a reason we’re prone to waxing not-so-eloquent on these waxy-as-hell toppers: they’ve been keeping menswear’s upper crust fly and dry for approximately 200 years and counting.

If you’ve heard this spiel before (something something “centuries-old pedigree”), feel free to stop reading immediately, and skip straight to the maintenance section at the bottom of this guide. But on the off chance you’re itching for a way to kill a quick five minutes on a drudgy evening, indulge us, won’t you, for a hot second.

Right this very moment, one of the best bang-for-your-buck waxed jackets on the market is a walloping 40% off, which is terrible news for anyone long on Barbour—and tremendous news for any frostbitten fellas looking for an impenetrable coat of their own.

Thanks to Huckberry’s winter sale, the retailer’s handsome, hardy, and altogether heirloom-grade riff on the genre is at one of the lowest prices we’ve ever clocked it, bringing the cost of all that waxy, flannel-lined goodness down to a gentlemanly $220. (You’ll have to cough up a little more depending on the color you’re after.)

Crucially, Huckberry’s version comes equipped with more storage space than a filing cabinet, plus a nifty detachable hood, a savvy design flourish that compensates for the Bedale’s—the ne plus ultra of the category—sole oversight.

Flint and Tinder might not boast quite the same pedigree in the space as its tony, royal-approved British counterpart—Barbour is to waxed canvas what Kleenex is to tissues—but it does count an elite roster of zombie-fighting zaddies among its fans. (Captain America is a customer, too.) Feeling especially magnanimous? Text the news to a cold, trembling homie who hasn’t heard our waxed canvas jacket spiel either, and there’ll be two new converts lurking in the Recommends DMs by next week.

More Waxed Canvas Jackets On Sale

If you’re in the market, it’s worth mentioning the rest of Flint and Tinder’s waxed lineup, which has quietly gone buck wild in the best way. There are chore coats, truckers, and field jackets galore, but the real sleeper hit is the Harrington Waxed Jacket, a swingy, waist-length riff on the classic.
