Collection: Men's Waxed Jackets and Gilets

For stellar protection you can rely upon from bad weather, look no further than our selection of men’s waxed jackets and gilets.

Using centuries-old waterproofing techniques that originated in the Scottish sailing industry, our traditional waxed coats and jackets promise practical performance. They’re an essential addition to your outdoor wardrobe and a typical feature of countryside fashion.

There’s a timeless quality about our wax gilets and wax jackets for a very good reason: not only do they use waxed cotton - or oilskin - that has a very long history of keeping people warm and dry outdoors, but these jackets feature designs suited to every occasion, season after season. When you invest in a new coat from our range that includes brands such as Hoggs of Fife, there’s no chance of it falling out of fashion.

Made from cotton that is woven into a strong canvas fabric, these coats are treated with a wax or oil mixture that creates a barrier that is water resistant and will continue shedding rain, even during the most prolonged downpour. Even better, however, is that the material remains fully breathable. 

The waxed cotton jacket is often the outerwear of choice for all-weather country activities: whether you’re out fishing, riding, hunting, dog walking or farming, there’s no chance the rain will dampen your spirits - or the inside of your coat. You can also rely on large pockets to give plenty of storage, as well as a place to keep your hands warm when the weather gets that little bit too much.

As with everything that we sell, practicality remains the name of the game here. Our range of wax jackets come in a variety of sizes and styles: choose from long wax coats for more coverage, quilt padded wax jackets for greater warmth and insulation and classic wax coats for the most traditional styling. Their smart linings featuring check, tartan and tweed give a nod to the quality and luxury of these coats, while in-built and detachable hoods ensure full body coverage from the elements.
