Flint and Tinder Jacket Collection | Premium American-Made Outerwear
Our waxed canvas bomber is built for the long haul. We start with heavyweight 10oz cotton canvas, then treat it with a proprietary wax blend that develops character with every wear while shedding light rain and wind. The quilted lining adds warmth without bulk, and the classic bomber silhouette works whether you're heading to the jobsite or meeting friends downtown.
Every flint and tinder jacket in our collection is sewn in the USA by craftspeople who've spent decades perfecting their trade. Brass hardware, reinforced stress points, and hand-set ribbed cuffs and hem mean this bomber will be in your rotation for years to come.
- 10oz cotton canvas with weather-resistant wax finish

Materials and Construction
Every flint and tinder jacket starts with premium materials chosen for durability and character. We source heavyweight canvas, selvage denim, and cotton twill from American mills when possible, prioritizing fabrics that develop personality with wear rather than falling apart after a season. Our waxed finishes use a proprietary blend that resists water while remaining breathable, and the quilted linings balance warmth with packability.
Construction happens in our partner facilities across the USA, where experienced sewers use industrial machines to set sleeves, attach hardware, and reinforce stress points. Bar-tack stitching at pocket corners, double-needle felled seams, and brass or copper hardware mean these jackets handle daily wear. The same attention to detail found in our men’s jackets carries through every stitch, from the first cut to final quality inspection.
Sizing and Fit Guide
Our jackets follow a slightly relaxed contemporary fit that allows for layering without excess fabric. Most customers find their usual size works perfectly over a t-shirt or henley, with room to add a sweater underneath when needed. If you prefer a trimmer look or plan to wear the jacket over lighter layers only, consider sizing down.
Measure your favorite jacket flat across the chest, then compare to our size chart for the most accurate fit. Sleeve length is measured from the center back neck to the cuff, and body length runs from the high point shoulder to the hem. Our waxed canvas styles may feel slightly stiff initially but will break in and soften with wear.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care extends the life of your jacket significantly. For our waxed canvas styles, spot clean dirt and stains with a damp cloth rather than machine washing, which can compromise the wax finish. Re-wax once or twice a year using a bar wax or spray designed for canvas outerwear—just warm the fabric slightly with a hair dryer, apply the wax, then heat again to help it penetrate the fibers.
Quilted and denim jackets can go in the washing machine on a cold, gentle cycle. Turn them inside out to protect hardware and minimize fading, then tumble dry on low or hang to dry. The flannel lining in our denim jacket benefits from line drying to prevent shrinkage.

Common Questions About Flint and Tinder Jackets
Our jackets run slightly relaxed through the chest and shoulders to allow for layering, with a modern taper through the body that avoids a boxy look. Most customers find their usual size works perfectly. If you typically wear slim-fit clothing or plan to wear the jacket over t-shirts only, consider sizing down.

Yes, all cut-and-sew work happens in our partner facilities across the United States. We work with experienced manufacturers who've been in the garment industry for decades. Some raw materials—Japanese denim, wax treatments, brass hardware—come from international suppliers because they offer the best quality for specific components, but the actual jacket construction is 100% domestic.
Each jacket includes information about where it was made and the team that built it.
Spot clean your waxed canvas jacket with a damp cloth and mild soap for dirt or stains. Avoid machine washing, which can strip the wax finish and damage the fabric's water resistance. For heavy soiling, use a brush to remove dried dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth.
Re-wax your jacket once or twice per year depending on wear. Warm the fabric slightly with a hair dryer, rub on bar wax or spray with wax treatment, then heat again to help it penetrate. Focus on high-wear areas like shoulders and elbows. The jacket comes with a starter bar of wax to get you going.
The field jacket with its zip-out quilted liner offers the most warmth, followed closely by the flannel-lined denim jacket. The field jacket's liner can be worn separately as a vest, giving you three configurations—shell only, liner only, or both together for cold days.
The waxed canvas bomber provides moderate insulation from its quilted lining and works well in 35-55°F weather. The quilted shirt jacket is our lightest option, best for fall mornings and spring evenings in the 45-65°F range.
Absolutely. We offer repair services for torn pockets, broken zippers, separated seams, and other wear-related damage. Contact our customer service team with photos of the issue and we'll provide a repair quote. Most repairs take 2-3 weeks including shipping time.
