Oxford Blue English Field Coat (For Men)

Excellent price for a waxed cotton jacket. Not quite a Barbour but high quality and well made (in England). Wore it in some really horrible weather and it performed very well. The Brits just need to sew the zipper on the correct side (maybe it has something to do with how they drive). Seriously, it takes a little getting used to, having the zipper on the opposite side.

Not too thrilled. Been looking for a waxed coat. Fit great in the shoulders (xl) but the body of the coat looked like I was loosely drapped in duck cloth. HUGE TENT is the comment I heard.

Bought for long fit after reading other comments. I was hoping sleeve length would be a little longer but still very wearable.

I live in Michigan, so we get a full taste of all four seasons here. I've already worn this jacket on a fishing trip to the Au Sable during some very inclement weather. I found it kept me warm and absolutely dry. I did get a little "fish slime" on the coat, but it wiped right off with a damp, soapy sponge. I'm looking forward to wearing it to Spartan stadium later this fall during football season.

Overall, the design & materials provide a durable, highly functional & good-looking 2-season(late Fall, Winter) garment. Efficient down to about 44 degrees. For temperatures down to freezing it can still function well coupled with a good sweater. Below freezing, it's time for down. Classic English styling & construction, I really like this coat.

Wore this jacket for an outdoor event with pouring rain, I was absolutely dry. Could see raindrops beading up and rolling off my arms just like a freshly waxed car. Also wore it recently for a fishing trip on the Au Sable river here in Michigan. I was concerned that it got a little "fish slimed" by a Skamania steelhead that I landed, but was very pleased when I went back to my motel and simply washed it off as the manufacturer suggested. My only complaint is the smell, but that's getting better as I've worn it more and hung it in my garage to air out.
