Why We Love This Deal
Chore coats have dominated fall layering for a few years now (thanks to the rise of the workwear trend), but most versions lean lightweight, think more along the lines of a shirt jacket. Leave it to Huckberry house brand, Flint and Tinder, to make something truly job-ready. The brand's Mason jacket has more substance than your run-of-the-mill chore coat and draws on vintage rancher and hunter workwear to provide something substantial but fashionable. Right now, you can also get one for 40% off.
The $198 Flint and Tinder Mason Canvas Barn Jacket is down to $118 at Huckberry in the classic Dark Olive colorway featured here. The khaki version is also on sale for $168, but if you walk down any city street, you may notice that pale green colorways, similar to the field jacket seen on Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, seem to be the dominating pick among jackets of this kind.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Material: Shell is 75% cotton, 24% nylon, and 1% spandex; corduroy collar is 100% cotton; lining is 100% nylon; fill is a recycled polyester blend
- Fit: Cut for layering, with triple-needle stitching reinforcing the seams
- Pockets: Two drop-in front patch pockets, two chest pockets, one interior pocket
- Care: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low
- Best For: Fall layering, everyday wear, outdoor work, workwear
Most chore and barn coats around this price skip the fill entirely and rely on denim or waxed cotton alone for warmth, but FnT’s take adds a recycled poly fill under the canvas shell for actual insulation. The small addition of spandex woven into the shell also keeps it from feeling too stiff, and the corduroy collar and metal button hardware pull directly from the barn coats the design is based on, backing up the workwear look with some real utility.
Mid-level barn and chore coats with insulation will run you anywhere from $150 to $350 at full price, since most brands treat the combination of canvas and insulation as a premium feature. At $118, the Mason jacket lands well under that range while keeping the fill, stitching reinforcement, and corduroy detailing that usually push barn coats into the higher price tier.
What Shoppers Are Saying
One helpful shopper wrote, “Absolutely a splendid jacket. I feel like more of a craftsman (I’m a carpenter and general contractor) when I throw this on.” A second reviewer commented, “Sturdy triple stitch holds it together. Feels ready to just put on and go out to start your day.”
The style was another plus for reviewers, and one of them wrote that they get “lots of compliments” when they wear it out. Another shopper wrote, “This jacket is very stylish,” and they “love the quality and feel.”
Fall isn’t too far away, and if you don’t have a reliable layer yet, Flint and Tinder’s Mason Canvas Barn Jacket is an incredibly reliable pick at $118. Just be sure to jump on this deal soon, as Flint and Tinder’s gear tends to sell out fast when it’s on sale.
