Wool-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket | Flint and Tinder
Our wool-lined waxed trucker jacket is built for men who need outerwear that works as hard as they do. We start with heavy 10-oz waxed canvas that sheds wind and light rain, then line the body with genuine wool for warmth without bulk. The classic trucker silhouette delivers freedom of movement through the shoulders and arms — essential whether you're splitting wood or heading into town.
Every detail serves a purpose. Dual chest pockets with snap closures keep your essentials secure. Heavy-duty brass YKK zippers stand up to years of daily use. Adjustable snap cuffs and hem let you seal out cold air when temperatures drop. We designed this jacket to develop character over time — the waxed canvas ages beautifully, showing wear patterns unique to your life.
- 10-oz waxed canvas shell — USA-sourced fabric with water-repellent finish
- 100% wool body lining for natural insulation

Waxed Canvas Shell & Wool Insulation
We chose 10-oz waxed canvas for the shell because it offers the best balance of durability and weather resistance for an everyday jacket. The wax treatment creates a water-repellent barrier that beads off light rain and snow, while the tight canvas weave blocks wind. Unlike synthetic shells that can feel clammy, waxed canvas breathes naturally and develops a rich patina as you wear it.
The wool lining provides warmth without the bulk of synthetic insulation. Wool regulates temperature naturally — it insulates when it’s cold and wicks moisture when you’re active. We left the sleeves unlined for easier layering and greater range of motion. This combination makes the flint and tinder wool lined waxed trucker jacket ideal for fall through early spring in most climates, or year-round in cooler regions.
Sizing & Fit Guide
Our trucker jacket follows a classic workwear fit — relaxed through the body with room to layer underneath, but not oversized. The articulated sleeves allow full range of motion without excess fabric bunching at the shoulders.
For most men, we recommend ordering your usual size. If you typically wear a medium in button-up shirts, a medium trucker jacket will fit comfortably over a T-shirt or thin sweater. If you plan to layer heavily underneath (thick fleece or hoodies), consider sizing up one.
Care & Maintenance
Waxed canvas requires minimal care but benefits from occasional maintenance. For everyday cleaning, brush off dirt with a stiff bristle brush or wipe with a damp cloth. Do not machine wash — the agitation will damage the wax coating and the wool lining can shrink.
Spot-clean stains with cold water and mild soap on a sponge, then air dry completely. The wool lining is naturally antimicrobial and resists odors, so the jacket won’t need frequent cleaning unless exposed to heavy soiling.

Wool-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket Questions
Yes, the wool lining provides substantial warmth for most winter conditions. In our testing, the jacket keeps you comfortable in temperatures down to about 20°F when layered over a long-sleeve shirt or thin sweater. The waxed canvas shell blocks wind effectively, and the wool insulates even when damp.
For extreme cold below 20°F, we recommend layering a midweight fleece or down vest underneath. The trucker fit accommodates layers without restricting movement. The adjustable cuffs and hem let you seal out cold air at the openings.
Re-waxing is simple and takes about 30 minutes. Use any canvas wax product (we like Otter Wax or Filson's wax). Apply the wax with a cloth or sponge, working it into the fabric in circular motions. Pay extra attention to high-wear areas like elbows and shoulders.
Once you've applied wax to the entire shell, hang the jacket in a warm room (70°F or warmer) or use a hair dryer on low heat to help the wax penetrate the canvas fibers. The jacket may look slightly darkened after waxing — this is normal. Water should bead up on the surface once the wax has set.
No, do not machine wash this jacket. Machine washing will damage the wax coating and can cause the wool lining to shrink or felt. For cleaning, spot-treat stains with cold water and mild soap on a sponge, then air dry completely.
Brush off dirt and debris with a stiff bristle brush between wearings. The wool lining naturally resists odors and doesn't require frequent washing. If the lining needs refreshing, hang the jacket outside in fresh air for a few hours.
The jacket follows standard sizing for classic workwear brands like Carhartt or Filson. Most customers find it true to size with a relaxed fit that allows room for layering. If you normally wear a medium in button-up shirts, order a medium trucker jacket.
The fit is roomier than fashion brands but not oversized. If you prefer a slimmer fit or won't layer underneath, consider sizing down. If you plan to wear thick sweaters or hoodies beneath the jacket, size up one.
The wool-lined version provides more insulation and is designed for colder weather (fall through early spring). Wool is naturally warmer, regulates temperature better, and continues to insulate even when damp. The flannel-lined version is lighter weight and better suited for three-season wear or milder climates.
Both jackets use the same 10-oz waxed canvas shell and identical construction details. The choice comes down to your climate and how much insulation you need. If you experience winters below 30°F regularly, the wool lining is the better option.
Fresh waxed canvas can transfer some wax residue onto light-colored fabrics when new, especially in warm conditions. We recommend wearing the jacket for a week or two before sitting on light upholstery — this allows excess surface wax to distribute evenly into the fabric.
After the initial break-in period, wax transfer is minimal and typically only occurs in very hot conditions (above 85°F). The jacket is safe to wear with all clothing colors once broken in. If you do get wax on fabric, most dry cleaners can remove it.
The wax treatment provides water repellency for 6-12 months of regular wear, depending on conditions. You'll notice water stops beading on the surface when it's time to re-wax. Heavy rain or snow accelerates wear, as does frequent friction against backpack straps or tool belts.
Re-waxing restores full water repellency and takes about 30 minutes. Many customers re-wax once a year at the start of fall. The canvas will continue to shed light rain even between waxing sessions — it just won't bead as dramatically.
