Unbeatable Style: This Luxurious Waxed Canvas Jacket Exceeds Expectations with Unparalleled Attention to Detail
The Waxed Canvas Revival: Billy Reid’s Bold Move
Waxed canvas outerwear is taking the world by storm, and we’re seeing it from unexpected sources. From Patagonia to Flint and Tinder, brands are reinventing the classic waxed canvas jacket with modern twists. But the latest addition to this trend has caught my eye, and it’s from a brand you might not expect: Billy Reid.
Contrast Lining for the Win
At first glance, Billy Reid’s Hunting Jacket appears to be a traditional waxed canvas hunting jacket. But take a closer look, and you’ll notice a few design elements that give this jacket a fresh, modern spin. The key lies in the contrast lining, which adds a touch of luxury and sophistication.

The light brown colored sleeve lining is a particularly clever touch. By rolling up the cuff, you can flash the lining and add a pop of color to the overall design. I must admit, I was initially skeptical about the combination of brown and black, but it works surprisingly well.
A Reimagined Classic
Billy Reid isn’t new to the world of waxed canvas or outerwear, having released an archival-inspired Hunting Jacket in 2022. The new Hunting Jacket builds upon this foundation, refining the design with modern sensibilities. The result is a jacket that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
Closing Thoughts
Billy Reid’s Hunting Jacket is a bold move in the world of waxed canvas outerwear. By incorporating a few key design elements – including that stunning contrast lining – the brand has created a jacket that’s both a nod to the past and a statement piece for the future. Will other brands follow suit and adapt this trend? Only time will tell, but for now, Billy Reid is setting the bar high for modern waxed canvas design.
