Whether you’re facing a horde of zombies or April showers, this jacket’s got your covered.
“The Last of Us” Season 2 premieres on Sunday, April 13 — and along with the return of those terrifying mushroom monsters, Pedro Pascal’s Joel Miller is back in his favorite Flint and Tinder jacket.
When society collapses, durable outerwear that protects against the elements (including infectious zombie drool) is critical. And this classic style is made from water-resistant waxed sailcloth that looks better as it ages, while its soft flannel lining keeps you cozy. As cozy as you can be while facing a fungal pandemic, that is.
Available in sizes XS-3XL (plus Tall sizes) and in four neutral colors, the all-season jacket is made in the USA and is only available at Huckberry. And as the company’s chief brand officer Ben O’Meara shared in a press release, it wasn’t easy finding the right coat for the show’s hero character.
“[Costume designer Cynthia Ann Summers] and her team bought as many waxed jackets as they could — 50 to 100 options across brands and manufacturers,” O’Meara said. “They put each through extensive wear-testing — evaluating quality, construction, how each patina-ed, the fit and style. In the end, ours rose to the top.”
Shoppers also love it, with one writing, “As a full-time railroader this jacket has kept me dry in the rain, warm in the cold, and safe from sharp and rusty grab irons and protruding lading of all different shapes and sizes. Versatile enough to wear out to the bar but durable enough to wear to work, I don’t leave home without it.”
Another reviewer said, “I’ve wanted one of these jackets for a long time and was not disappointed. Besides looking rugged and super cool, the fit is perfect and the inside feels like a warm blanket.”
Though the original’s suitable for both men and women, shoppers in search of a more feminine fit can also consider the women’s version of the style, available in sizes XS-XXL and two colors.
“I wear it everywhere, including at work. I have gotten so many compliments on this jacket. It’s lightweight but still warm enough for colder temps. Love the inside pocket for my phone and wallet. Quality is superb,” one five-star reviewer wrote.
“This jacket has quickly become a staple of my wardrobe. It is so comfortable that it already feels like an old friend. I just love it!” another added.
Last season, the jacket became such a sensation that it sold out — so we recommend snapping yours up now before it flies out of stock again.
