Carhartt’s Detroit Jacket is an American workwear icon, but Huckberry’s in-house brand, Flint and Tinder, just dropped an update that might actually be better. Meet the Waxed Mill Jacket, a direct homage to the classic, but built with the brand’s signature material: high-quality waxed canvas.
Flint and Tinder swapped out the traditional duck canvas for durable 8-ounce waxed cotton from British Millerain. This gives the jacket superior water and weather resistance while ensuring it breaks in beautifully and develops a unique patina over time. They also nailed the details, adding a cozy diamond-quilted lining for extra insulation and a plush corduroy lining on the cuffs and collar for comfort.
Compared to the original, the Waxed Mill Jacket has a slightly longer body for better coverage, making it a perfect option for fall and mild winter weather. With a total of four external pockets and one internal patch pocket, it’s built for daily utility. It’s available now from Huckberry for under $300, making it a stylish and rugged investment for your wardrobe.
