Riders Jacket Waxed Canvas Oak

Cant beat the jacket.

I have OCD when it comes to a few products i.e. watches, sunglasses, backpacks, and for some odd reason waxed canvas jackets. When I purchase these items, I buy the highest quality and the best style that I can afford. I leave this review to aid others in their search for that perfect waxed trucker jacket. I am 6'-1" tall and weigh around 220 lbs with an athletic build that wears size XL in most Jackets and coats. As far as waxed truckers, I have purchased every color of the Flint & Tender waxed trucker in sizes XL and XXL and in Tall of both sizes. In the end, I sent every one of them back. Their XL was too small, the XXL too big, the Tall was too long and the flannel in the sleeves made layering a huge pain in arse. I own a Filson waxed trucker and THOUGHT that was the height of waxed trucker jacket ownership....until I stumbled across Freenote Cloth's Waxed Rider. Simply put, this waxed jacket sets the bar for which all other waxed trucker's aspire to reach. The quality and style are unmatched in my humble opinion and no matter which color I am wearing, I get a minimum of 1-2 compliments on the jacket every time I step out, and often more. I am now a Freenote Cloth Waxed Rider fan boy and own this jacket in 3 colors, Oak, Tobacco & Black and waiting for Olive to be back in stock to complete my collection. Some advice on sizing. Measure your shoulders and arms, go to the sizing help link and and buy accordingly. I find them true to size for the most part but they run just a bit small so size up if you are going to layer. In the end, they are a bit pricey compared to the wannabe's but if you have been searching for that perfect waxed canvas trucker jacket, your search ends here, this jacket is pure perfection. Pull the trigger, you won't regret it.

This jacket sets the standard for all other waxed canvas jackets. The construction, materials, cut, everything is just done to a level that isn't found anymore. The price may seem a bit steep compared to other options on the market but after 8 months of daily wear I couldn't be happier. The way it forms to your body over time as you wear it in is unlike anything else I've ever worn, and creates an incredibly personal feeling when it's put on. I bought one for my brother because I loved it so much, and am waiting on a charcoal restock to grab a 2nd because there's just not anything else out there like the RJ-1

This jacket is just what I had hoped for.
I own a heavier weight waxed canvas jacket made in Portland that I love in a different colour however I will enjoy the ease of movement and lighter weight of this wonderful product. Thank you Freenote Cloth.

The jacket is great and I was impressed with the efficiency with which the order was handled, despite being an international sale. Thank you!
