I've bought some of this:

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

I should have it early next week.

I'm definitely interested in how this goes. I look forward to your update.

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.

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

Cool, thanks G, have submitted the 'notify me' email

[Scottystyles]

Navy sounds sweet! Good god! My wallet is checking into the hurt locker!!

Any thoughts on whipcord versus grosgrain for deck jackets in terms of insulating, wind and water resistance?

[Giles]

I think that the term grosgrain as applied to a deck jacket is incorrect.  Grosgrain has ridges that run perpendicular to the warp.  All the deck jackets I have seen have the ridges running at a steep angle, but generally in the direction of the warp (i.e. whipcord)….

[mclaincausey]

Interesting; mccoys seem to run vertically instead of at an angle but I suppose they could have reoriented the fabric to achieve that.

I like that Haraki removed the draw cord.

[Giles]

Just popped an Olive XL back into stock and decided to discount the remaining 4 by 30%…..

[pillowPANTS]

G, do you know if the new run has any changes (hoping in length) besides the addition of navy to the colour list?

[Giles]

Lined in Alpaca, that is the only difference I know of…

[Scottystyles]

Be great if they had slightly smaller sleeves too! You've gotta have gorilla arms to fit em at present! Bummer! They are an exceptionally fine piece!
