Awesome timing. I'm just about to re-wax my Flint & Tinder waxed trucker for the first time tomorrow. This jacket has become my favorite article of clothing over the last couple of years. I've worn it hunting, fishing, harvesting, and working - in the rain, mud, and snow. It looks better today than the day it arrived.

Love my jacket, so warm! And breaks the wind easier than my pre-teen heart. Looking forward to maintain it!

I’m not sure why people think this is so hard, easy, I do all my waxed canvas bags, jackets, backpacks and shoulder bags. Greenland wax is the easiest to use, just rub it on when you see it covered with the white film, just use your blow dryer and melt it in. EASY

Nick is a legend. Ur Lucky to have that dude on the team!

I have been rocking waxed canvas motorcycle rainsuits since 1969. I make up a mixture of paraffin and mineral spirits to retreat waxed cotton and put the retreated garment inside out in a dryer for 5 minutes or less. Makes it come out looking like new with better water resistance. Make up the mixture to axle grease consistency. Looks like you've smeared snot on your jacket until the dryer melts it into the fabric.

Nick could start a baking show.. just got a wool lined and it shattered my expectations. Can’t imagine having to re wax for years

You should stick with what the company recommends. Fjallraven also uses a hard wax while Barbour uses a liquid wax. If you have an off brand jacket (vintage or out of business), it is up to you what you use. I used a UK paste wax on my Canadian made Australian Outback brand jacket. I still have a tub and half of that same wax, but I won't use it on my Barbour; so I have to buy some Barbour wax to do my jacket.

Man, what an awesome job you have. I have so many ideas I’d love to share for flint and tinder. They’re quickly becoming my favorite brand.

I love mine, been using it for a few years now. I mainly use it during my outdoor fires and cooking however, because of that my sleeves and a couple of other areas are looking black and have not been able to really clean that off. Any ideas?

Been loving this jacket, been wearing it for a fee months now

I have this jacket and I love it! One question; some of the bottom of my jacket has started to get some blue dye from my jeans rubbed into it. Any idea how to clean it once it has set?

I did this at 3am so no heatgun, used the friction of my hand to warm up and spread the wax evenly. Came out super good, although it was glossy like a leather jacket, but after sitting for a few days it looked nice and matte. BTW the waxed wool lined parka here, and I love it, but those bright white draw strings that hang so much are very out of place.😅

Great timing! I'll be re-waxing my 2-year old FLWT soon and doing my own vid on it!

I have a filson trucker jacket and used otter wax. Here are my suggestions: Do you really need to rewax!? If water isn’t coming through , you don’t. It’s a meesy job with mixed results. Don’t use too much wax. I thought I did it the way this guy said and the heat gun still left significant streaks. I got rid of the streaks by putting it in a dryer that worked pretty well. Low heat for maybe 30 minutes. Got rid of most streaks. Hint: go to the laundromat and put it in with a couple of lint free rags. Check it every 15minutes. When the 30 minutes are up , immediately use the rags to wipe the jacket down. This got the streaks off better than the hear gun. Also: I only used about one half stick for my coat, so I didn’t really overdo it. Nice vid, but this guy had done a lot of them and knew the ins and outs a lot better than me.

You have to wash it at some point if it just reeks. Hand wash and keep hosing the jacket down till the water runs clear is best. If you use your washing machine, you will get a wax residue that is hell to remove- just don't do it. Hang to dry with a fan for a few days. Do not use the dryer!!! The fabric will shrink 2-3 sizes if you do. And you shouldn't dry it in the sun on a hot day either. No one buys these for work jackets so you may only have to do this once every 3-5 years or if it gets really soiled or if you wear it all the time. Plan on it taking over the course of a week. An hour to wash and rinse, a couple of days to fully dry (never wax damp clothing), waxing it takes an hour or two, and come back the next day to wipe off the oil, touch up areas and then it needs to dry for a few days while you wipe off excess oil/wax. If you do it the way they show here and get in your car, you will have waxy oil on everything and leave oil streaks everywhere. Never listen to a drunkard how to do anything. Keep drinking while making videos boys. This BS of Febreze or vinegar mitigates the smell but it doesn't kill the bacteria or actually clean it. You have to kill the bacteria and remove the grime on the inside. The people who say that is the way are the same morons who say never to wash your jeans. That level of stupidity has Dunning-Kruger effect written all over it and are for people with so much money they buy new clothes rather than wash stuff.

How you wash it from sweat on the inside? Thanks!

Hey Huckberry! I will be rewaxing for the first time this weekend. Would a single bar of wax be enough for my flint and tinder waxed trucker jacket?

Does it matter what type or brand of wax you use? Say a jacket or bag etc comes with Martexin wax applied. Could you just use a different brand when rewaxing (assuming the item isn't completely stripped of wax in all areas)?

I'm sure this is a silly question but since its canvas, could you use a hydrophobic tent spray?

Which color is better or more superior? Field Tan or Havana?

What colour is this one as seems lighter than the Havana but darker than the tan?

wish list .... bump it up to another size ............ 52-54 inch width on the chest ............. i own one in black 50-52 inches chest and stand 5' 9" ........... it is a little snug when i wear a really really thick, and heavy old school sweater with it .........

Just waxed mine, but used the wax tin otter product instead to save time, any reason you choose the otter bar? Second, your denim shirt, where could I buy one, really like it.

after sweating for ages inside Polyester/Gore Tex garments I went back to wool and waxed canvas, and I like the results! (also considering the environmental issues micro-plastics present in synthetic fabrics have...) I wax (beeswax/paraffin wax) my construction worker´s garments and Royal Marine´s smocks in different grades of waxing (intense to light) in accordance to the use the garment is going to have, and I apply more there were it is going to be exposed the most. So far I am satisfied with the results, and besides the garments get this attractive "vintage look"... greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia

so, if machine wash is not recommended, then what would I do if the jacket smells ?

New drinking game: every time “flannel lined trucker jacket”

If you’re too lazy to re-wax, what’s the worst that will happen? Will it just lose it’s waterproof or will the longevity and durability be compromised?

Why wait to the Autume or Winter ? Why not let the wax melt in your garden with heat of the summer sun . The warm jacker will take the wax like hot toast takes butter. Once done ,let your jacket sit on the washing line for the rest of the afternoon.

Can I use Barbour Thornproof wax to rewax my Huckberry jacket?

What Jean shirt is my man wearing? Is it long enough to tuck in?

what kind of denim shirt is he wearing in the video?

What if you over wax the jacket and the wax starts to smell?

Great step by step video but I would've used a hair dryer since 99% of the folks watching this probably don't own a heat gun

How would you recommend cleaning the inside, in particular the armpits. They're starting to stink lol

Shoot this is too much fucking effort for Christmas Eve

Waxing is no big deal what I need to know is how to clean it for dirt odors

Never put in washing machine??? Bruh I can imagine the smell on that thing 😅
