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.

sorry, link is here

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

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?

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

my mum bought a green one which she says is v nice. She also has a real Barbour waxed coat for more 'special' days
