The 20 Best Waxed Canvas Jackets

If you think you’ve got all the winter outerwear in your closet that you can possibly fit, think again. Between a slim topcoat, a durable parka and an essential denim jacket for layering, you also need a coat that’s rough and tough enough to do it all. Enter a waxed canvas jacket, made in a variety of silhouettes and with various bells and whistles galore to take on winter weather.

With its versatile looks — sometimes featuring the silhouette of an overshirt, sometimes that of a jacket — it’s a must-have. Crucially, it stands up to snow and slush, it’s fit to wear outside for weekend exploration, and thanks to its workwear roots, it’s rugged and yet refined at the same time.

Try it with a chambray shirt, dark denim and beat-up leather boots, or hit the streets with wool trousers and a classic Oxford for extra protection as you head to work. You can’t go wrong with one of the best waxed canvas jackets for men.

Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket

We love the Field Tan colorway the best, ideal for wearing with perfectly broken-in jeans and your favorite henley to, well, your favorite brewery. It’s the latest fall must-have, and you won’t regret picking it up — to say the very least. Lace up your boots and get to work (or to the bar).

It’s got an old-school feel to it just from looking at it — the waxed shelter cloth is nearly unlike any other coat on the market, as is the type of design that your father and grandfather might have appreciated.

Not quite good enough? The cotton twill lining is dyed using Alabama red clay, while gusseted underarms and a bi-swing back give you the range of motion you need in the field. ‘Tis the season to embark on early morning hikes and hunting trips aplenty — the Tensaw Jacket is the one to get, if that sounds like your ideal fall or winter day.
