Whether you're out walking the dog, heading to the market, or tackling a proper countryside downpour – our men’s wax jackets are a must-have for staying dry, warm, and looking the part.
Waxed cotton is the heart of a proper country jacket, a tightly woven cotton treated with wax so the rain beads and runs off. Reproof it once a year and it lasts for decades.
This durable fabric provides dependable protection without losing the traditional appearance that makes wax jackets such a staple of British country clothing. With regular care, the material develops its own character and becomes softer with wear.
A padded wax jacket adds a quilted or insulated lining inside the waxed shell, so you get warmth as well as weatherproofing. It is the pick for cold, wet winter days outdoors.
The extra insulation makes padded styles ideal for early morning walks, outdoor work and long days spent standing in colder conditions. Layer one over a shirt or jumper for comfortable warmth without needing several bulky layers.
A short wax jacket sits at the hip for easy movement, which suits driving, dog walking and active days when a long coat gets in the way. It is the everyday length most men reach for.
The shorter cut gives you greater freedom around the legs and waist, making it particularly practical for regular wear, travel and jobs that involve plenty of movement.
A wax shooting jacket adds the details that matter in the field, like room to mount a gun, big game pockets and a longer cut for standing on a peg. Waxed cotton keeps you dry through a long day's drive.
The practical shape and generous pockets make these jackets suitable for carrying cartridges, gloves and other countryside essentials. Look for a comfortable cut that allows plenty of movement through the shoulders.
Wax jackets come in the traditional country shades of olive green, brown, navy and black so they sit easily with the rest of your outdoor wardrobe. Green and brown are the classics, while black leans a little smarter.
Choose olive or brown for a traditional countryside look, navy for easy everyday styling, or black when you prefer a sharper finish that pairs neatly with darker trousers and boots.
Head out in a wax jacket, layered over snug knitwear, with smart moleskin trousers and leather Chelsea boots. Top it off with a flat cap for that timeless countryside edge.
Go sharp but relaxed by wearing your wax jacket over a light-blue Oxford shirt. Team it with slim-fit jeans, tan market boots, and a tweed scarf for a refined rural vibe.
Tackle the elements by layering your jacket with a cosy gilet and an insulating thermal base layer. Hard-wearing trousers, sturdy yard boots or wellies, and a wool beanie make this the perfect ensemble for muddy adventures and early morning dog walks.
Giving your jacket a bit of care now and then means it’ll last for years – just like a good pair of boots or a trusted old Land Rover. Not only will this maintain the look and feel, it’ll also protect the waterproof properties.
