Why It's a Big Deal
Huckberry's end-of-year sale is still live, and it's showcasing some of the better discounts I've seen in the final stretch of the year. I've been telling everybody I know to pick up jackets during this sale before it ends on Jan. 1, considering the huge 40% drop on the iconic Flint and Tinder waxed shirt jacket and even the newer, Carhartt-adjacent canvas work jacket.
The other I'd personally recommend is the warm and weather-resistantFlint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Hudson Jacket, which is on sale for $276 right now, a $92 drop from its normal $368 price. The discount isn't the best I've seen all year, but it's still a rare one, and it's well worth the price it's selling for right now. It comes in a few colors, but only the navy is on sale. Despite that, it's a great choice for a jacket of this kind, and one that'll look nice every time you put it on.

The waxed Hudson jacket is equally as utilitarian as it is versatile. It's made from waxed cotton canvas from the globally renowned Halley Stevensons manufacturers and features a plaid cotton flannel lining to up the warmth alongside the dual zip and button-closure and detachable hood.
There's a ton of storage on this jacket: It has snap-closure hand pockets with a secondary flannel-lined side entry, an extra flap pocket, a snap-closure chest pocket, an interior pocket, and a back pocket normally seen on hunting jackets.
It's a fine choice for a three-season jacket with a hoodie underneath, but it's also great for a night out on the town with a great pair of boots and a sharp button-down shirt.

What Shoppers Are Saying
Reviews sing the praises of this jacket, but none more than one shopper who compared it to some of its biggest competitors. "Great jacket at a super price," they said. "I own Orvis, Lewis Creek, and Filson waxed jackets, and this is equal for a much better price."
For first-time wearers, it's the quality and comfort that won them over from the get-go. "The jacket is superbly made," a shopper noted. "It's not only good-looking and comfortable, but it serves its purpose very well, too. Perfect for autumn/early spring and is roomy enough to wear over a sweater in colder months."
My Honest Thoughts
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the Forest color of this jacket and brought it on a winter trip to Lake Tahoe for some snowy sightseeing. The forecast had predicted mild February weather, so I had packed for that, but I ended up catching the tail end of a blustery snowstorm.
This jacket—which was the warmest layer I had packed—ended up saving me on that trip. Though it's a far cry from a ski jacket, it's one of the heaviest waxed options in Flint and Tinder's expansive lineup, and when I layered it with the brand's 10-Year Pullover Hoodie, it kept me perfectly comfortable in 30-degree weather.
What I found was that the combination of the waxed shell, the hood, and the dual button-zip closure helped support the insulation and totally seal off the wind, which would have made me miserable. In my opinion, it's the one you want for winter.
Flint and Tinder's Waxed Hudson Jacket rarely sees a discount, and when it finally does, Huckberry diehards swarm the site, and they sell out. If you've been on the hunt for a great jacket at a great price, don't sleep on this deal, because it goes away early on Jan. 1.
