Irish Men's Waxed Cotton Jacket, "Coastal Adventure"

Starting in the 15th century, north Scottish sailors used wax to protect the sails of their ships from salty waves using an assortment of oils and grease. Over time the waxed fabrics evolved into different uses. Thus was born the waxed cotton still used today in modern waterproof outerwear. This classic zip-front jacket features Scottish-made waxed cotton from Halley Stevensons, based in Dundee since 1864. The waterproof jacket features a quilted lining, deep front bellow pockets, fleece-lined hand warmer pockets and contrasting corduroy detailing on the stand collar, elbow pads, pockets and covered zipper placket with a snap closure. Made to stand the test of time and keep you warm and dry no matter where you venture.
