Me and Mr Flee keep one each in the horsebox - the full length chin to floor jobbies . His is the usual waxed one and mine is a 'dry wax '- which doesn't feel like wax at all .It was the only one in the shop and I've never seen another one like it . I got it for £35 in a sale , reduced from £150 , when the old Derby House in Newburgh closed down - an absolute bargain and I LOVE it 'cos you don't get sweaty like you do with the waxed ones .
Both mine and Mr F's waxed one are 200% waterproof - highly recommended !

Thank you where would be the best place to get one from plz? Are yours light/medium or heavy weight ones? They are much cheaper than barbour coats Thank you  |

Mr F's is medium weight .Mine is lightweight which is brilliant for torrential summer downpours , and I just layer up in the winter .
To be honest I've no idea where you would get one from .

I had one. A real pukka waxed Auzzie one.
Indeed, one of the very last presents bought by my dear late mum.
Loved it to bits but unfortunately "outgrew" it. I sold it (from on here) to a super person from Lincolnshire whom I is still as pleased with it as she was when it arrived.

my mum bought us each one in around 1984/85 - we still have them, wear them, and they keep us dry. After all these years they are starting to look a bit tatty, but TBH the only thing that is on a par with them is my old barbour, over 30 years old, and now worn with pride by my mate John.
