Men’s wax jackets are the quintessential piece of kit in Britain for any self-respecting gent. These jackets are oh so stylish and no longer have to stay in the countryside. Wax jackets for men have many features; the most important is that they are waterproof - whether you are playing in the countryside or working in the city, we are all at risk when the heavens open up, and the rain pours down on us. Find one that is hooded and no matter the weather you can be outdoors all day. If the hood gets in your way, find one that is detachable!
Here at Equestrian Co., we have products from some wonderful companies, from the waxed clothing from Walker and Hawkes to Hunter Outdoor clothing. These companies make some of the best outdoor clothing; they know a thing or two about creating coats made to block out the elements while looking fantastic and stylish. Whether you’re looking for a men's waxed cotton jacket, or men's wax hats or even a wax jacket for women as a gift, don’t you worry about a thing, because we have it all! Oh and in case you didn’t already know, you can buy items at sale prices, yes you heard me right! Simply go online and order and you even get free delivery if you live in the UK! How good is that?!
The Best Waxed Cotton Jacket for Men
Winter is coming! Not to worry, your trusty waxed cotton jacket has your back...literally. You will be so excited for the cold months to come so you can bundle in this cosy padded jacket and get super warm and comfortable.One of the best features of this jacket is that while warm, is lightweight. Finally, a jacket you can pack away for your travels! Go with a black or brown colour; it will match with everything and be less likely to get dirty and stained.
The best-waxed cotton jacket (which we totally sell here!) is 100% waterproof, has many deep pockets - so you can leave your bag at home - and made of the greatest quality, to last for years and years. The inside is lined with cotton to keep you snug and the outside of wax, easy to wipe down or to apply a new coat of wax.
The Right Jacket For The Occasion
When considering a jacket, think about where you will wear your garment. Just as you would purchase a saddle for ridding, you would get a jacket appropriate for the occasion to avoid any issues. It is key to find the right outfit for outdoor sports to do your best.Choose the wrong outfit and your day could be ruined!
In the English countryside, we all know far too well how the rain will unexpectedly pour down. Well, we can be stuck in an onslaught of rain, or we can defend ourselves with the right jacket. A long wax jacket will keep you safe from the rain - with its additional length; extra protection is provided.
Colour makes all of the difference especially for an item meant for the outdoors. Navy, green or grey are great colours to avoid stains and match with other colours but more exciting than your typical brown or black colour. Have fun and look fun! That’s what life all about right?
