Product Reviews

Customers praised this wax jacket as "excellent quality" with "great fit" and "phenomenal quality" at a "great price." The jacket offers good rain and wind protection. However, sizing runs small—most recommend ordering a size up. Some noted limited cold weather insulation, with one saying it's "not very good protection against the cold." A few mentioned concerns about waterproofing and durability of components like poppers.

Love it.

The quality is great. The only drawback is the hood, wich is just one seem, so if you put it on you look like a dwarf, and the stip on it hat plastic caps. But because of this its easy to fold and keep in the pocket, and during a stronger rain, you will not care about the looks. So go for it. Used it on a hunt in the rain, 5 hours of thorns, and rain. I was dry and the jacket didn´t care about the blackberry thicket

Great light jacket, looks great and decently made

Great light jacket, looks great and decently made. I usually wear L but ordered a XL for a more relaxed fit and it was the right call. It’s a fall jacket for Canadian weather but holds warmth well when worn with a fleece or wool base layer.

Decent jacket

Decent wax jacket, the material is a good weight between heavy and light. The poppers do seem a little flimsy, we'll see how long they last but this is my only concern.

It's advertised as running a little small so went with the recommendation of ordering a size up but actually returned it and got my usual size which is fitted. The returns process was very easy so not a big deal.

An excellent lightweight wax jacket

An excellent lightweight wax jacket. Having read the reviews and taken advice from New Forest I ordered XL instead of my usual size L. The XL is a good fit for me with room for layers which may be needed in cold weather. The hood is quite large. The service from New Forest was first class.

Very nicely made. Runs a bit small, but we took that into account when ordering. Partner loves the weight and style.

The Men's Classic Antique Wax Jacket is an excellent blend of style and practicality. The antique wax finish gives it a rich, rugged look while providing great protection against wind and rain. The fit is comfortable without being too tight, allowing room for layering on colder days. The lining is soft and warm, adding to the overall comfort. The pockets are well-placed and spacious, perfect for carrying essentials. The quality of the stitching and material suggests that its built to last. Its a timeless piece that works equally well for outdoor adventures or casual wear. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a durable and stylish jacket!

Good for the rain, ok for the wind, but not very good protection against the cold, needed to go up a size to allow for the amount of clothes I need to wear to keep warm, will sit in the wardrobe until milder weather

Well made comfortable jacket .

Perhaps slightly less robust than some I have owned but more than adequate for my needs .

Order a larger size than usual then you’ll get a perfect fit

Very nice jacket, great fir and value.

Lining could be a little thicker (the only reason i gave them 4/5 and not 5!)

Sharp looking jacket, sizing chart was accurate. I ordered a XL for a more relaxed fit and that's exactly how it looks.

Nick P.

Really excellent jacket. I bought on the strength of past reviews and they weren't wrong. It does come up a little small. I'm usually XL but ordered XXL which is perfect. Feels well made, is light and comfortable. Just a tip - mine had been folded in its packaging for sometime it seems, so when opened there were fold creases which has caused the wax to fade, so I applled some wax from an old pot and now it all looks a uniform finish. Would buy again and recommend thoroughly.

This is an excellent rain jacket for moderate temperatures. I also have the padded Wax jacket and just came back from walking the dog at -5C with a sweater underneath and was not cold.

Dark green Wax Jacket with corduroy collar and pockets, perfect for mens classic antique style
