Layering is not always an easy feat. A warm, durable shirt isn’t always roomy enough to go over a sweatshirt while a good jacket won’t always go easily underneath another. Yet, when the time comes, layering your clothing is the best way to deal with volatile weather conditions. And you won’t run the risk of overheating or being too cold. However, finding the right articles of clothing to help you out can be a challenge. Which is why it’s possible that the perfect layering piece may not have existed before Flint and Tinder’s The Bighorn.
Playing off the brand’s knack for durability and style, the waxed shirt jacket is a spectacular option if you’re planning on just wearing an undershirt — or nothing at all — as your base layer. However, there’s plenty of room if you need to have this as your top layer, throwing it over your tee or even a hoodie. Rugged yet lightweight, the fabric owes its performance to the world’s original waxed canvas producer, British Millerain, and its very own 8oz Tekwax Evolution 6, a legendary fabric that’s both breathable for days when temperatures are fluctuating and weather-resistant to endure torrential downpours without getting soaked.
Lined with 100% recycled polyester just like the sleeves, the dual hand pockets are angled perfectly for easy access while the two chest pockets close with custom Flint and Tinder snap buttons — the same ones used down the front and on the cuffs. There’s also an interior pocket for any valuables you may be carrying. As for the main body of the shirt jacket, it remains unlined for added durability. Earning its patina over time, the shirt jacket will last you for life and can be re-waxed to bolster water resistance.
Your best bet for facing these unpredictable months ahead, Flint and Tinder’s The Bighorn Waxed Shirt Jacket is currently up for grabs at Huckberry’s web store for $198.
