Designer waxed jackets for men
They are iconic, British and unique. David Beckham, James Bond (Daniel Craig), Prince William and King Charles III all have one thing in common: they wear men's waxed jackets, and for good reason. These jackets are functional and distinctive, combining tradition with modernity and comfort uniquely.
What makes a waxed jacket for men stand out?
The fact that its design is not influenced by seasonal trends or short-lived fashion fads is precisely what makes it timeless. Silhouettes and cuts range from the classic field jacket to tailored versions and the iconic slim-fit Belstaff motorcycle jacket. Traditional style is emphasised by corduroy collars, brass buttons, distinctive flap pockets and waxed surfaces in colours such as olive, navy or black.
What are the advantages of a waxed jacket?
- The material: A waxed jacket for men is made of cotton or a cotton blend. However, the key point is the way the fabric is treated: it is coated in wax and oil or just wax. This gives the jackets their distinctive appearance and features such as water and dirt repellence, and wind proofing.
- Robustness: This fabric makes the models robust and durable, and suitable for use in all weathers. These all-weather jackets protect you from cold, wet and uncomfortable temperatures. Whether you're going for a walk in the woods or heading into town, a waxed jacket for men is a versatile item of clothing that can be worn in many different situations. Every crease and fold, every walk in the rain leaves its mark, and it is precisely this naturalness that makes them so desirable.
- A unique patina: Over time, a waxed jacket develops its own charm, making it truly one of a kind – the perfect companion.
- British style: Whether you like it or not, wearing a waxed jacket automatically gives you a bit of the British look. One reason for this could be that the most famous brands, Barbour for men and Belstaff for men, have popularised the waxed jacket.
- Practical details: Distinctive tartan inner lining, sturdy button plackets, two-way zips, detachable hoods, variable corduroy turn-down collars and patch pockets are just some of the features that make this fabric special.
Can a waxed jacket be re-waxed after years of use?
This is definitely possible, and it is worth taking advantage of this option. Depending on how intensive the wear and tear has been, you should have the wax renewed after years of use. If the wax content is low, the jacket may not be sufficiently water- and dirt-repellent, making it less suitable for outdoor activities. For the best results, it is best to have the jacket professionally re-waxed.
Are waxed jackets still fashionable?
Men's waxed jackets never go out of style! This classic garment has proven its worth over time, even outside the United Kingdom. These stylish jackets are a must-have for any man's wardrobe, and an essential item that no wardrobe should be without. Investing in a waxed jacket is an investment that will last for years.
Are waxed jackets better than Gore-Tex?
It is impossible to say in general terms. While waxed outdoor jackets are primarily water-repellent and wind-resistant, Gore-Tex is waterproof, breathable and windproof.
Is a waxed jacket suitable for winter?
A classic waxed jacket is made of waxed cotton, which makes it ideal for wet weather. However, the inner lining is crucial in determining whether a waxed jacket can be worn by men in winter. Models with wool lining are comfortably warm even at temperatures around 0 °C and are perfect for this time of year.
What is the history of waxed jackets for men?
Initially, these designer jackets for men were primarily intended for fishermen and sailors. In the 20th century, wax jackets found their way to the British countryside. There, they became an indispensable part of several cultures that embody the country lifestyle, such as equestrian sports, hunting and motor sports.
