More on our wax jackets
These are waxed-cotton jackets built for an Irish autumn: a tight cotton weave, waxed to turn rain and wind, with a corduroy collar and a lining that takes the chill off a grey morning. Buy one with room to layer over a jumper, since that is where it earns its keep. The wax can be refreshed every year or two, so the jacket wears in rather than out and tends to outlast the trends entirely. Where the money goes is the cloth and the wax, not the badge. See the quilted jackets for a smarter shell, or the men's gilets for lighter days.
