When Flint and Tinder’s York Quilted Waxed Jacket first launched in the fall of 2024, it immediately made a strong case for a new class of outerwear, and that fundamental idea still holds up.

In a crowded field of innovative outerwear drops from major heritage and outdoor labels, the York stands out as one of the most compelling waxed canvas designs to hit the market in a long time.

And while we’ve seen it go on sale before, it’s now hit an absolute new low with summer weather looming: one color is selling for an astounding 70% off its typical retail price, while the rest are still 55 to 65% off.

The York Quilted Waxed Jacket could easily be mistaken for a higher-end quilted jacket from afar. But its waxed canvas exterior provides an additional textured and classic-looking edge that’s more apparent up close.

The best of both worlds

The Flint and Tinder York Quilted stands out for one simple reason.

It fuses the lightweight warmth and easy-wearing cut of a traditional puffer mid-layer with the trusted weather resistance and longevity of a classic waxed canvas jacket.

Flint and Tinder also packed in a host of thoughtful modern details: like a contrast quilted lining for a subtle pop of color when the sleeves are rolled, an interior chest pocket sized for a phone or wallet, snap adjusters at the waist and cuffs to fine-tune the fit, a hanging loop and hidden snap closures on the hand pockets, plus a reinforced collar that can be worn up or down.

For all its strengths, this isn’t a flawless execution of the concept, and it won’t appeal to everyone.

Waxed canvas has a particular hand feel that some people never warm up to, and the relatively substantial shell could be seen as working at cross-purposes with the lighter insulation inside.

A more premium synthetic fill, such as next-gen technical insulation, would be intriguing but would also likely push the price higher.

For those who appreciate its capabilities, though, the York Quilted Waxed Jacket is a versatile, sleek, and relatively lightweight shell that can handle three seasons of weather with smart layering in the coldest months. Thanks to the waxed canvas shell, it is also the kind of piece that should patina with use and hold up for years, provided it gets proper care.

How to buy it for less

Currently, four colors of the jacket are available for noticeably less than full price, while supplies last, making this hybrid design accessible to many who have been eyeing it since its launch.
