@zatenm:

Here's mine fresh out of its 3rd wash (3rd year of wear)

Damn. That's chuffin lovely,  that is.

Zatenm, did you experience much shrinkage with washing and drying?

Great looking jacket by the way!

[Hematoma]

Has anyone tried waxing one of these?

[zatenm]

Thanks @Jordonf9  and @el padre ! Highly recommended piece indeed

@gsg it does shrink maybe a quarter of a size (or that could be just stiffness) but quickly regains it as it softens up. I wouldn't factor in shrinkage in my sizing decision on this one, if that helps

This jacket would look even prettier waxed as long as it is done right, no doubt. If I didn't have the Brown Duck First Zip, I would get this beaut. I was torn between these two but loved the simple cleanness and bi swing arms on the first zip.

This jacket with a blanket or wool lining….hmmmmmmm

It does look brilliant. Love how the red W stayed red.

[Finkster]

Wow  …  Kudos!

[zatenm]

Agreed… Looks great, colour & texture!

[jadechacko]

A photo can speak a thousand words…...

[Giles]

What's that one saying,  "I want to be a vest" ?

[jadechacko]

U readth my mind.

[Jordonf9]

You are crazy! That jacket looks new too.
