Waxed cotton has its roots in England's 19th-century marining scene… they knew a thing or two about weatherproofing. Our version is a little more wearable (as in outerwear and not sails) but just as rugged, especially in a classic field jacket shape with a country-sporting feel to it. It's in a really good, rich shade of navy, with a moleskin lining, collar band, and bound sleeve hem.
