Why We Love This Deal
Cold weather layers, in particular outerwear, are getting smarter (and heavier) in all the right ways. While modern tech-infused jackets help you keep up with the times, least we forget about the smart capabilities of traditional wool—namely, boiled wool, for that matter. With similar characteristics that you’ll find with tech-infused fabrics, wool can still hold its own. The one jacket that instantly grabbed our attention was this Flint and Tinder boiled wool jacket and it's surprisingly marked down to under $150 right now.
The Flint and Tinder Boiled Wool Station Jacket is on sale for $149 at Huckberry, a 50% discount off the $298 full price. Crafted using one of the more recent underrated winter materials, this wool jacket gives you phenomenal warmth and plenty of structure, in a heritage wool coat without having to make a Filson-like investment. With all of Huckberry’s recent discounts, this is arguably the strongest value right now.

This jacket is genuinely crafted from 100% boiled wool, making it one brawny-wearing jacket. During the creation process, boiling the wool shrinks and tightens the fibers, making it denser, warmer, and more weather-resistant than traditional wool. What you get is a layer that insulates exceptionally well, minus unnecessary bulk (and, like all wool, it's very moisture-wicking, too). To minimize the wool scratch that may be off-putting to some, it’s fully lined through the body, sleeves, and collar, while its silhouette is cut for a roomy fit, with the hem landing right at the waist for a sharper look. It’s styled in a modern workwear aesthetic and features key details such as patch pockets with side-entry, a locker loop, and button cuffs.
Quietly, Huckberry has been expanding its offerings into the boiled wool lineup over the past few colder-weather seasons. You can still grab this Boiled Wool Chore Blazer (on sale for $173), and it also had this CPO Boiled Wool Shirt Jacket that just recently sold out. This Station jacket is more rugged and heartier than both, offering the most warmth of the three available this year.

Where It Sits in the Market
While this Station jacket isn’t quite the weight and intent of the heritage-worthy pieces in Filson’s Mackinaw wool lineup—like the Cape Coat or Wool Liner—it does a decent job of keeping up. It’s meant for everyday cold weather, and will suffice for commuting, weekend walks, and can still do well around an axe. Price-wise, is where it obviously wins. Filson’s pieces will set you back $500 to $700 on average, while brands like Buck Mason’s Boiled Wool Chore Coats sit around $270 and above.
A steal like this is almost guaranteed to sell out fast (I have it sitting in my cart already), so you won’t want to wait to grab yours. Hit that “Add to Bag” button today and get ready for your best winter yet with the Boiled Wool Station Jacket.
