I want a rough and ready jacket

[nickliv]

I'm not keen on camo, but I don't want to be wandering about at a meet in my banana yellow waterproof either. I's like a couple of poachers pockets, and I'd prefer to have a full front zip.

Budget? About £20, less if I can get away with it.

Suggestions please.

I got an old donkey jacket from a work supplies shop, some builders supplies places have good stuff, or you could dye a camo jacket any colour you liked.

Have a look on flea-bay - loads of really cheap jackets on there.

Just a few as an example:

Search for Olive Green M65 Jackets. Unissued preferably.

less than £20? theres plenty of wax cottons out there that will fit the bill, but dont expect a barbour! but at that price you can roll around on the floor all day if you want

Look out for a wax cotton jacket in charity shops Thats where i got mine for £15 and I use it exactly as you describe your requirements. Works perfectly
