The Genuine Irish Wax Cotton Jacket

Made in Ireland from the same waterproof and wind-resistant material worn by Celtic fisherman since the 19th century, this is the genuine Irish wax cotton jacket. The jacket's densely woven cotton fibers are impregnated with paraffin wax, creating a weatherproof barrier that provides reliable protection from the elements during angling expeditions on the Celtic Sea or while commuting through Dublin streets. Unlike synthetic waterproof fabrics, waxed cotton breathes to ensure comfort in mild climates and its durability far surpasses that of waterproof textiles coated with PVC or polyurethane. The jacket has a 100% twill lining that wards off brisk air and a corduroy collar with a button flap that protects the neck from wind and helps prevent heat loss. With two chest pockets, two buttoned barn coat pockets with zippered compartments inside, and two nubuck leather hand pockets. Brown. Men's chest sizes M (42-44), L (46-48), XL (50-52) or XXL (54-56). (4 lbs.)
