F&F waxed jackets - yeah or nay?

[thenightsky]

I saw them yesterday and thought 'hmm nice-ish', but I'm all PMT-ish and prone to bad judgement clothes-wise.

If 'yeah' then blue or green? I'm tending towards the blue myself.

Bit iffy about lack of lining, but what can I expect for £20?

I bought last years blue version, its really nice for the price.

Can we see a link? I looked at cheapy New Look waxed jackets last year and decided nay...they looked a bit pully round the shoulders.

[thenightsky]

sorry, link is here

To be fair, that picture ain't great. In reality it is more soft and floppy looking.

[thenightsky]

Gah... that was the wrong link!

this is the correct one

I actually think I prefer the first link to the second but that's just me

How do you wash waxed jackets?

[thenightsky]

The first link looks way better quality I agree, but they didn't have it in my local Tesco.
