You've definitely come across the Flint & Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, even if you didn't know it. The cool-weather garment is something of a modern classic. It's Huckberry's best-selling item ever, and it can even be seen on the shoulders of Joel in HBO’s hit series The Last of Us.
While women have previously had to make do with the standard cut of the popular jacket, Huckberry released a limited-edition just for them. Meet the Women's Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket.

The same where it counts
It is not uncommon for brands to make a women’s version of products that began as popular men’s styles, but sometimes they suffer a quality change or miss the mark with fit and design.
Huckberry’s goal with its Women's Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket was to maintain all the beloved details that come along with the original and recreate it with comfort and silhouette in mind for female consumers. The women's version is cropped to hit hip for a tailored look but it still features the OG's blanket-like flannel lining and seven-ounce waxed sailcloth exterior — a combo that provides a comfortable that's warm and capable of withstanding foul-weather elements.
As the seasons change, it is easy to get tired of wearing the same rain jackets and hoodies around town. The wax jacket easily steps up your cold-weather look without sacrificing the functionality of something a bit sportier. We have put some time in with the men's version, and our tester found the piece to be a perfect fit for wet and cooler weather when you are trying to look a bit more fashion-forward. The women's version will play perfect in all the same situations that the men's version thrives in.
'Limited Edition' really means limited
The jacket is only available for women in the forest colorway, and there does not seem to be any plans to expand that offering. In fact, while this jacket design gives so many more people the opportunity to enjoy the beloved coat (and for the same price at $298), Huckberry has made it clear that they are not taking the full plunge into women’s apparel. This seems to be a one-time deal.
With the limited supply, this purchase (perfect gift idea) is one that you will want to get quickly before they are gone. It may not be totally out of the question for Huckberry to bring it back for another season in the future, but there is certainly no guarantee. So, if you see this piece as something you or the badass woman in your life might wear, there is no better time than the present to snag one of these icons.
