Hi all,
Looking for a new wax jacket, preferably not olive as want something different. Always in the yard with horses so needs to be good with wear and tear.

Found this one on rydale www.rydale.com/products/ladies-quilted-wax-jacket-settle?variant=38157
never tried this brand. Any opinions? TIA flowers

I haven’t tried Rydale but I read that their dog fleeces were poor quality compared to Equafleece and Ruffwear.

I have a brown waxed Barbour Lambley but around horses I prefer to wear a washable and breathable jacket. I have a red Musto and a beige Barbour Fulbourn, both regularly washed with Nikwax Tech Wash and re proofed with TX Direct.

My farrier also farms and he swears by heavy wax jackets from a NZ supplier, he does re-wax them the old fashioned way though.

I bought my first Barbour in 1990, I replaced it with another about 3 years ago.

My husband also has Barbours as he is a shooter, he sends his back to Barbour to be reconditioned every few years.

The proper Barbours are worth the money, Barbour International are fashion items.

I have a jacket from John Partridge. I particularly like that they are Made In England.
