The much-anticipated second season of The Last of Us is here at last, bringing an unexpected fashion trendsetter along.

2023 saw the release of the TV adaptation of the renowned PlayStation game, and as Joel, played brilliantly by Pedro Pascal, I found myself in a weather-beaten Flint and Tinder flannel-lined waxed trucker jacket. This rugged outerwear accompanied me on an arduous journey with Ellie (Bella Ramsey), navigating a nation overrun by Cordyceps infection. The show’s promotional images highlighted this jacket, and demand soared throughout the first season until it sold out. Notably, costume designer Cynthia Ann Summers earned a Creative Arts Emmy nomination for her exceptional work on the post-apocalyptic costumes.

After Joel’s popular fashion instance, the Emmy-winning series collaborated with Wrangler on a denim collection inspired by the character’s Americana style from season two. For those eager to emulate his distinct ‘mopey dad’ look, the Field Tan trucker jacket by Flint and Tinder is once again available for $298 in multiple sizes and colors at Huckberry, the brand’s online retail partner.

This item comes in both standard and extended sizes, and is a sturdy product crafted right here in the USA. It’s made from weather-resistant 7-oz. sailcloth, a 100% canvas fabric treated with Martexin wax, which is manufactured by Fairfield Textiles located in New Jersey. The manufacturer claims that it shares similar qualities with selvedge denim or fine leather, and like those materials, will only improve with time.

As a gamer, I appreciate the durability of this jacket, especially its ability to be re-waxed to effortlessly shed rain and other liquids off its exterior. The double-sided waxing provides an extra layer of warmth and insulation for those chilly gaming sessions. Inside, it’s all about comfort with a soft, striped blanket lining on the body and sleeves. Lastly, it’s equipped with both external and internal pockets, making it a practical choice for my gaming needs.

The silhouette provides a classic trucker style that sits comfortably around your waist, and it’s suggested to consider going a size larger if you intend to wear additional clothing beneath. The sizes range from XS to 3XL for the standard fit or M to 4XL for the extended length. Additionally, wool-insulated and hooded variations are offered as options.

Flint and Tinder offers denim trucker jackets and other durable items suitable for enduring a fungal-apocalypse scenario, like cargo shorts (ideal for stashing your portable weapons), waffle overshirts (perfect for layering during cold Wyoming winters), hemp henleys (great for warmer evenings), and long-sleeved flannel button-downs (perfect for making a statement at upcoming events). If you’re not expecting to meet any walkers or survivors, they also have a range of options including embroidered camp collar shirts, ribbed sweater polos, and seersucker blazers, among others.

This budget-friendly brand offers a variety of items, with prices ranging from $18 for high-quality military-style socks, $38 for authentically vintage-washed T-shirts, all the way up to $798 for a luxurious suede and shearling jacket.

Check out the various color options shown here, and don’t miss your chance to buy the jacket as it might run out of stock soon on Huckberry’s website.
