I am going to do a small test patch and see if it works for this jacket.

I should have it early next week.

Should arrive tomorrow, I will do the back of the collar first and show pics.

Ok, so I did the collar, and there is no difference in appearance (very slight darkening of the fabric), so I sprayed the fuck out of it.

Its a bit damp but pictures will not pick up any appreciable pigment change.

Its no substitute for the messy hot wax and heat gun.

I will check rainproofness when I can.

If you want the full fat wax effect you're gonna have to get you hands all messy.

Anyone looking for a black XL shoot me a PM with your offer. Don't wear this enough to justify keeping it as my climate just isn't that cold here

Here's a few comparison shots with the Buzz Rickson N1 (click to embiginate)

much chunkier zip on the IH.
wonder what happened to the drawstring? not that I ever used the one on the Buzz…..
I'll have more pics coming soon.

[Giles]

H decided not to put one in!

Ok, so I know that we're still enjoying relatively warm (hot?) weather here in the UK, but I'm conscious that'll be over all too soon, so I'm planning ahead and thinking about a warm winter jacket, and, in particular, this deck jacket - couldn't make my mind up on the original release, and missed out on last years, so super keen to not miss out this year

G, any indication when these will be available, and will they be the same colour ways as last year,i.e olive and black? Also, is there a chance that they be paraffin coated this time?

[Giles]

Mid late Oct

Navy with Black Alpaca lining
Black with Black Alpaca lining
Olive with Brown Alpaca lining

Not paraffin coated
