Great review, Patrick! A waxed trucker jacket has been on my want list for a while. I can't tell you how many times I have gone to Huckberry's site to read reviews on Flint & Tinder's jacket. Then, Thursday decides to produce one....ahhhh...decisions decisions. I will have to watch this video again when the time comes for me to order one. And, I just might have to ask you some more detailed questions as well. Again, great job Patrick! 👏

Thanks for this awesome video. I’ve subbed! I already had the flannel flint and tinder (moss green) and love it. Look forward to seeing you rewax it when needed. 👍

I love my FnT but I like the way the Thursday looks on you better and the color looks good too

For comparison - I'm about 5'8.5" tall, between 185 and 190 lbs in this video, and have pretty thick/beefy shoulders. Let me know if you have any sizing questions, or other questions! Thanks for watching!

Just bought the Thursday jacket in olive. This comparison was extremely helpful. Thank you sir

Thanks for the review. I will probably get another Flint and Tinder in the future but the Thursday looks like a solid option too.

Thanks for the solid review... I just got my second flint and tinder.

Thanks for this video and for adding your layering category. This is an important thing to know for me as I would layer. If Thursday dropped the price by even $20-$30, it would do a killing, I think. If for only $18 more you can get a famous thus cool version of this jacket, then the choice is obvious.

Great comparison. If it helps anyone, I own the F&T in small and medium. I have a 39 inch chest and 30 inch waist. The small is perfect over a t-shirt, but I can't layer it over a fleece without looking like a stuffed sausage. The medium is actually a big step up in size. Over a t-shirt I look like a kid in dad's jacket, but it works great over an insulating layer. Based on your video it sounds like Thursday's medium might fall right between the two, which would have probably been the better option for me, but I've had mine for years (small for 3, medium for 2) and they've held up great.

One quick side note: it is said that the FnT lining on the Hudson jacket comes from Abraham Moon which is an old UK made company. Note sure about the trucker but I have read that it was an American made lining. Unfortunately I can't find that source again.

What a brilliant review. Thank you.

You had me at layering. I often go with a t-shirt or a flannel shirt or a sweater. I'll take the sleeves on the Thursday jacket

Thank you for the review! I’d love a follow up video with alternatives for some of the drawbacks. What is your favorite coat for windy weather? Or for warmth? Within the heritage space. Thank you!

Thanks! Food for thought. Like I've said before, I have to win the lottery. Thanks for the review.

The two jackets seem very comparable with an almost insignificant price difference. I got the Thursday jacket because I prefer the cotton lining to the polyester or wool lining in North Florida. I started wearing waxed cotton motorcycle raingear in 1969 but the traditional British products have gotten a bit dear. Rugged stuff that benefits from rewaxing every year or so and looks like new if you turn the garment inside out and toss it in a dryer for 5 minutes.

forgive me as i'm this freak in 2023 that never wears a t-shirt (as opposed to an undershirt) in public so your excellent overview helped point me toward the Thursday. great stuff. thanks.

This is really what I really want months ago. Thank you for making this video. I like the Thursday design better but they got the inside pocket on the right side and small, which make me decide not to buying it.

Huckberry also offers a 10% military discount, doesn’t look like Thursday does.

I have to compliment you on the thoroughness of your review and the detail you provided in every category. You confirmed my suspicions that the F&T is a better jacket. Sizing question, I’m 62 years old, about 6’3” 205 pounds, 44 chest with average torso and longer arms. I plan on wearing with a t shirt but would like the option to layer over a sweater or long sleeve shirt. Most jackets in a large are tight in the shoulders and narrow in the waist for me so I’m thinking probably Xl. Only concern is that the XL will be boxy. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks again.

I ordered mine in November and had the same annoyances (if we can call that) as you. I very much like the jacket, one of my complaints would be just an issue with it being a trucker as I wish the sleeves were shorter, but some quality of life touches would have been nice. I wish the front pockets were lined and I wish that it was easier to layer. When wearing this jacket, I would normally be wearing a hoodie and most of my hoodies, except for 1 (makes me want to get a zip up version of that same hoodie because of it), will bunch up unless I hold on to the cuff of the sleeves as I slide my arms through. This is a minor inconvenience but still something that I dont want to conciously be thinking about when just trying to walk out the door. Also, due to that, often times I need to readjust my sleeves underneath the jacket otherwise it would inhibit motion and comfort at my elbows. This was most noticeably an issue with my American Giant Classic Hoodie. Regarding the lined pockets, they really are only good for blocking the wind and maybe putting small items for temporary storage. Often, I would instinctively put my hands into those pockets looking for a soft place for my hands to comfortable, while my face is being tortured by New York winter winds, but was left disappointed. Do you think these are things that a tailor could potentially resolve? Atleast in regards to the sleeve length and pockets? I don't know how that would affect the quality of the canvas and wax though. Additionally, another complaint, which is a lot more opinionative, is that I wish that the inner flannel lining was more color neutral. I mostly wear blacks and greys, which is why I chose the coal option, but if the lining is exposed via the torso or if I want to roll up my sleeves then I have yellow stripes being visible that throws off the outfit. That last complaint probably isnt that big deal but I feel like maybe matching the liner to the color of the jacket would have made a HUGE difference in terms of perceived attention to detail and I would enjoy this jacket SO much more. There have been so many times in which I am wearing the jacket inside and taking it off wasnt a viable option but didnt want to roll up the sleeves or cuffs due to the yellow stripes.

Excellent review and I really appreciate your attention to detail. I'm sure both jackets will be awesome. I've never had either in hand, but I'm just noticing that the majority of pictures that I see of the Thursday, is that the fabric appears shiny or wet. Perhaps that is their intent? Maybe will patina and dull as the jacket is worn.

Appreciate the feedback🙌

Thursday gets a point for having a store. I can try the jacket on next time I'm in NYC.

Excellent detailed comparison! Which one do you find more comfortable after breaking them both in? Im leaning towards the Thursday since it has lined pockets.

Great review once again. Thursday Quality goods will be my choice for a few reasons and i will explain. England makes very high quality wax canvas products and most of those quality brands prefer a dryer feeling wax.(idea for a little research & video topic) Portugal have great craftmanship in all kinds of products not only clothes. I personally don't mind where it is made because i lived in Europe for half my life. I am jealous of the cool factor. ( The last of us )

I really like your reviews. You need to start reviewing some denim.

Great review! If you ever get a chance, check out and compare/contrast the Filson Short Lined Cruiser and the Freenote Cloth Riders jackets. That would be a good one!

Kudos to the vid overall as this is my first time seeing this channel. My only question is why didn’t you try on the jackets so we can see how they look?

The point system is nice but I can care less about certain categories…Great review though and nice of you to put this comparison. 👍

You nailed one key thing for me. Where it's made. I've been wanting an Iron and Resin Scout jacket for about 8 or 9 months now. I haven't bought it because it's "imported" and I can't find where. My problem with that is they used to make it in the US for a lower price point, yes I understand inflation, but there's competition USA made at similar price points. So I'm buying nothing. I don't like the Flint and Tinder, Rogue Territory and the 3sixteen is sold out. Maybe next year. I have a symmetry issue. If you have one bold front pocket it must have a second that matches. I also prefer the Type 3 fit is why Iron and Resin or 3Sixteen.

What does flannel lining feel like? I've never had a jacket with that... and how warm does the Thursday one keep you? Good enough for -10-15?

Any chance you know how the fit compares to the Rogue Territory supply lined Ridgeline in Large?

I'm thinking about the iron and resin scout

i'm on the edge of XL and L for the Thursday... If it doesn't fit snugly I'd go for the L. I would likely be wearing a flannel shirt under my jacket similar weight to yours in the video. I'm 5'8" and 190lb if that helps. Which size would you go for after wearing the L?

My chest is 45" but I'm only 5'8". So I have to get an XL and the arms are usually long for me. The flint and tinder seems baggier towards the bottom of the jacket where the Thursday looks more slim fit. I need that slim fit otherwise I look like I'm a kid wearing my dad's jacket. But I WANT the F&T😢

Easily the best review of both Jackets, I tip the hat good sir.

One of my favorite coats has enough room between the buttons that I can slip my hand between them to get to my phone in the internal pocket without having to unbutton. Can you reach the internal pocket on either of these jackets while it's buttoned up?

Im 5’7 155lbs, which a 40.5 chest and broader shoulders. By thr measuring chart i should get thr M on F&T but my arms are short which makes me think j should get a Small?? Which would you recommend

Considering they are almost the same price - as much as I like Thursday - I would still go with the Flint and Tinder jacket because it is made in the USA, whereas the Thursday jacket is not. So at that price, I am always going to go with the USA made item when the two things being compared are so similar otherwise.

If you had to choose 1 jacket, which would you choose?

Would you call the “Dark Olive” brown?

I can't really figure out the sizing of the Flint & Tinder one. On their website it says 'chest 39 is an M' . But then again, you use an M size, and you have a much larger chest. I'm 98cm, which is about 38,5" , and i'm also pretty slim at 65kg (143pounds) and 178cm tall. It doesn't really make sense for me to have the same size as you. I don't understand why they don't measure it properly, like most manufacturers, by the shoulders. I think i should get an S, but it's a gamble, considering it'll be an overseas shipping.

Thursday interior lining is actually 100% cotton , considering waxed jackets aren’t that breathable, i would prefer a cotton lining instead a polyester one

I wish they did a 4xl...

How tall are you for reference

Thursday wins laying for smaller guys, but my chest is 47" and their jacket only goes up to 49"...only thing I can layer that with is a tshirt 😄 flint and tinder wins in sizing I guess you can say.

I have the correct answer. Barbour. Thats who does waxed jackets the best. Bar.Bour.

And after all of this all you had to do is try them on and let us see how they look in person, but no, we are no smarter then when we started

Dude u did so much work with this video but u never tell us your weight or shoulder size….without knowing this anything u say about fit is useless!

Dude, put the damn jacket details in the description so someone doesn't have to spend several minutes jumping around trying to find out about the size or color. It's mind numbingly frustrating when you're just trying to research or find basic info and multiple KZfaqrs do this, so something that should take 2 minutes takes 20. Then it adds up and you're on the computer for an hour when it shouldn't have been necessary.

Watched this video for 5 minutes and was bored! So in this category it's "a push"! Get a life bro!
