Quilted Waxed Shirt Jacket | Flint and Tinder
We built the Flint and Tinder quilted waxed shirt jacket for men who need one piece that works from morning coffee runs to weekend trail hikes. The outer shell is crafted from 10 oz. waxed cotton canvas that develops a rich patina with wear, while the diamond-quilted lining provides just-right insulation without bulk.
This shirt jacket bridges the gap between a rugged work coat and a clean button-up, featuring snap closures and dual chest pockets sized for your phone and wallet. We've reinforced the elbows and shoulders with double-stitched seams, and the adjustable snap cuffs let you fine-tune the fit when the wind picks up. Every jacket is sewn in our North Carolina factory and backed by our lifetime guarantee.

Waxed Canvas Construction & Weather Performance
The waxed cotton canvas on this jacket is treated with a paraffin-based finish that beads light rain and resists wind without feeling stiff or plasticky. Unlike synthetic shells, this natural fabric breathes well enough for active wear while still protecting you from the elements.
Over time, the wax develops natural creases and color variations where you move most—giving each jacket a unique character that tells your story. When the water-resistance starts to fade after heavy use, a simple re-waxing treatment brings it back to full performance. This durable construction makes the jacket ideal for the same versatility you’d expect from any waxed shirt jacket in our lineup.
Quilted Insulation & Layering
Diamond Quilting Pattern
We chose a classic diamond quilt pattern for the lining because it distributes the poly-fill insulation evenly without creating cold spots. The quilting extends through the body and sleeves, providing consistent warmth whether you’re reaching overhead or sitting still.
Temperature Range
This jacket works best in temperatures from 35°F to 55°F as an outer layer. When it’s colder, the relaxed fit accommodates a fleece or sweater underneath without restricting movement. The medium-weight insulation strikes a balance—warm enough for chilly mornings, breathable enough that you won’t overheat by midday.
Sizing & Fit Details
Our quilted waxed shirt jacket runs true to size with a relaxed fit through the chest and shoulders. We design it to layer comfortably over a tee or button-up without feeling boxy or restrictive.
Most customers find their normal size works perfectly. If you plan to wear heavy sweaters underneath frequently, consider sizing up one. The adjustable snap cuffs and hem let you customize the fit, and the straight bottom hem sits at hip length for coverage without excess fabric. Refer to our size chart for chest, shoulder, and sleeve measurements—we measure every garment flat before it ships.

Quilted Waxed Shirt Jacket Questions
Our jacket runs true to size with a relaxed, comfortable fit. It's cut slightly roomier than slim-fit brands like J.Crew but more tailored than traditional workwear brands like Carhartt.
The shoulders and chest allow natural movement and easy layering over button-up shirts or light sweaters. If you're between sizes or plan to wear heavy layers underneath regularly, we recommend sizing up one.
Yes, the waxed cotton canvas repels light rain and mist effectively for 30-45 minutes of exposure. For steady rain or prolonged wet conditions, we recommend a dedicated rain shell over the jacket.
The water resistance will gradually diminish with heavy use and washing, but you can restore it by applying a wax treatment product following the manufacturer's instructions.
This jacket performs best as an outer layer in temperatures from 35°F to 55°F. The medium-weight quilted insulation provides warmth without bulk, making it ideal for fall and spring conditions.
In colder weather below 35°F, most customers layer a fleece or sweater underneath. Above 55°F, the breathable cotton canvas keeps you comfortable for low-activity wear, though you may find it too warm for vigorous hiking or work.
For routine care, spot-clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as it can strip the wax finish and damage the quilted lining.
When the fabric needs deeper cleaning, take it to a professional dry cleaner experienced with waxed garments. To maintain water resistance, re-wax the canvas every 6-12 months using a product like Otter Wax or Filson's wax dressing.
Three key features set our jacket apart: the waxed canvas outer shell provides weather resistance that improves with age, the quilted lining offers warmth without bulk, and American manufacturing ensures quality construction.
