recommend me a good wax jacket

[Man of Tanith]

I'm in the market for a decent wax jacket.
However I have a few criteria.
1 rather not pay a massive amount.plan this to be a bushwhackin jacket and do t want to wince everytime I catch it.
2 I'd like it to be long enough to come down t about mid thigh.so if I lean forwards dont get a draft up my back.
3 like it to been big enough to fit a couple of warm layers beneath it but not look daft should I just wear a shirt.
4 prefer it not to be green.
5 decent amount of pockets.

I know I can get el cheapo jackets from market etc but I don't want it to fall apart on the first trip out.

What do you suggest?
(Don't worry Too much about price. If it's too much for my mental budget I'll just resist it )

An Australian drover's coat in brown sounds like what you're looking for. www.[B]downunderweb.com[/B] Sorry i can't link directly to the coats; you'll need to navigate the site to get to them.

I have a brown DrizaBone wax coat that come down to just above the knee and works well. If you look around they can be picked up second hand for reasonable dosh.

Drizabone bushman, they come in 2 different weights of cloth, a great coat, but might be a bit shorter than you are after, but the lightweight one(my wife has one)are a great lightweight bush coat, i have the heavy weight, & it can get a bit warm.

Yep, she's a member here too

I have to admit that replacing an item shouldn't be seen as breaking the pledge ~ but it would have to be a replacement for rather than in addition to .


Oi've been having some fun finding some nice bits to tempt young Sam oi 'av, he will break!

 

[Man of Tanith]

Paul- this ain't just a bushy purchase its an everyday wear
Stu she is a member on here. Lady of tanith.

The kit pledge was all my own idea thank you gentlemen.

Also the kit pledge had a sub clause sayin replacing worn out items. Current wax jacket is worn out (or shrunk......or I've grown)
