There's some hunting stuff that is Denier Nylon with DWR these days. At least 400 denier for normal use, but fwiw, a 600 denier will give you about 1 use of sliding on concrete at 100kph without getting through to your skin. It's what the non-leather motorcycle jackets are made from. That said DWR wears off really fast in true downpours and/or busting through brush, but no worse than wax. DWR is a lot easier to re-apply than wax. Anyone that hunts in cold downpours wears impertech though. DWR just doesn't hold up to real outdoor rain.

Waxing the seams extra thoroughly when re waxing your jacket is important, Because of how much fabric there is and the stitching that goes through all the layers. If it’s not sealed the wax will transport the beads of water into all the nooks and crannies of the seam which ain’t good.

Honestly, I was a bit surprised not to see a Filson Tin Cloth jacket here. That aside, waxed cotton usually fails at the seams. I keep on adding more until it no longer soaks in. Probably the "best" waxed cotton jacket I've come across was the TAD Talisman. Could be the Haley Stevenson wax or it's construction but I have spent hours in the rain and remained dry.

Since this was not mentioned i want to clarify that Goretex is NOT waterproof, DWR (wich is applied to goretex) and sealing tape (which is put on the seam of Goretex jackets) are (both are easily accessible and you can technically put on anything), Gore-tex is a fabric that allows "waterproofness" to breath better, the more waterproof something is, the less body moisture is able to exit out, like rubber rain boots or PVC rain coats that fog, water will basically never enter, but your sweat has nowhere to exit out of either, BUT it is important to know that Goretex is not something anyone can just buy to make jackets, to be able to sell a jacket with their fabric they need to approve it's constructed properly to make the most out of it, so it is somewhat a sign of quality if authentic

In the past, the utility and function of a garment was determined by its pattern design in conjunction with the materials and treatments used on the fabrics. Today companies are only interested in producing the most money possible so they make bland patterns that have no utility or design and are made to fit as wide a variety of people as possible while being made as quick and cheap as possible. For example I have a vintage Filson logging coat that is probably the most waterproof and durable you can get in a garment. It is a double layered cape coat with double sleeves so the outside layer will soak up and shed water before the inner layer gets too wet.

I thought it was really cool how the majority of older men wore their Barbour jackets and brogued shoes. I stumbled upon a store with many different Barbour models and I picked me up my favorite waxed jacket. The jacket is lined and fairly warm but not too warm. Since I live in TX the jacket is perfect for our mild winters too. Great video as always sir! I love what you do and the material you share in your channel!

I have used waxed jackets outdoors in hard weather for a long time - expeditions or journeys lasting from weeks to months in autumn and through winter. They are extremely durable but are also very heavy and not very insulative. The fact that you are achieving waterproofing by using wax to fill the gaps between the fibres of the fabric - and if the material is cotton, to saturate the fibres themselves - means that the more waterproof you make it the less breathable it will be. In addition, regardless of what anyone says, wax will transfer to things which have long-term contact with the treated item; in my case backpacks. A waxed jacket cannot compete in terms of weatherproofing in comparison with a jacket employing a modern weather membrane e.g. Goretex. IMO the main attractions of waxed jackets are the high durability, good resistance to sparks from fires, and appearance. And if you have leather seats in your car you can treat your jacket with a wax which is beneficial to leather and your bodyweight will automatically cream and polish your car seat as you drive, so perhaps it could make a good driving jacket. But for me; I'd rather spend the money on a high quality jacket - or 2 - with a modern weather membrane which I know will be more comfortable, more water resistant and not rub wax into other items, which can be a real problem if the other item is a sleeping bag or a fibrous insulating jacket as the wax coats the fibres and significantly reduces their insulative performance. If you want to try a waxed jacket I'd suggest you wax an old jacket before buying one. Even for pure fashion purposes there are other options which are just as cool but which are more practical, and won't mess up the other items in your bag during travel.

The main reason for a wax jacket is the abuse they can take that GoreTex and the like cannot. Brambles, thorns, barbed wire, etc. A GoreTex jacket wouldn’t last a day. Waxed jackets are far more resilient Heavy waxed jackets will stand up on their own when cold and will get clammy inside when working but they will last many years. Ideally they should have raglan sleeves so there’s no shoulder seam to leak. Also most have large pockets for crap. Tools, hats, knives, flashlights etc. Longer ones will normally have a hood that’s usually snapped on. Barbour are great but have gotten prohibitively expensive for abusing when new. There’s very good quality jackets from Hoggs of Fife, Regatta, Rydale etc. for a fraction of the price that you don’t mind getting covered in mud and dog hair. I have a motorcycle style one that I wear around town sometimes and a couple of beaters for at home. A long “Beaufort” style (Hoggs Woodsman) and a Drizabone Brumby short jacket (like a Carhartt Detroit but waxed). When you need to beat the crap out of a jacket, nothing comes close.

Thirty years ago, I had a Barbour motorcycle rain suit (jacket and trousers). Above 80mph, it leaked through the seams and fabric. It had a great buckled collar that closed the gap below a full-face helmet. It was flannel lined, and when standing still or for around town riding, it was excellent. Ten or twelve years back I sold it, along with my last long-distance bike, and got a Filson Tin Cloth Cruiser. That one is only pretty good because it doesn’t have a storm flap or lining. But it gets admiring comments, probably because it’s so damned expensive. Anyway, I’m pretty sure the waxed canvas is all sourced from Australia these days.

I have a lot of Filson Tin Cloth and Shelter Cloth jackets and had a couple pair of Tin brush pants and Double Tin pants that I shredded with use. Even while new, after hours of upland bird hunting in heavy wet brush, or hours of working/hunting/walking outside in the rain or wet snow, they all soaked through... A few of the hunting coats are approaching 20 years old and have been heavily rewaxed multiple times (melted in with a heat gun). In cooler / cold weather I wear a wool Filson vest under them and that keeps them feeling OK even if they soak through... but the already heavy coats weigh a ton when they are soaking wet! I'm Okay with that as the protection from the thorns, brush, rocks, tree branches, tools, logs, firewood rounds, wind, and other things that attack me is still there. I also have an Orvis waxed "rain coat" that soaks through almost instantly... at best it's a foggy day coat, not a rain coat. For walking around in more urban settings my Tin Packer coat and Tin Packer hat keep me pretty dry for many hours.... I think the difference is that when I'm just walking around I'm not constantly flexing the material and nothing is touching it. I equate it to a canvas tent... they are quite water proof in the rain until you, or something else, touches the canvas... then you have a drip! All that said, I find that when I'm engaged in physical exertion I get wet regardless of the material. It's either the rain/wet snow soaking through or the perspiration accumulating inside. That includes Gor-tex, various coated nylons, sheet plastics, etc. The most water resistant and comfortable "rain coat" I have is a Sierra Designs Hurricane jacket. It's great for walking around but I imagine it would be shredded in no time if I used it for hunting or work.

Trouble with wax jackets or gore-tex are the jeans your wearing are absolutely soaking wet.

I liked that flint and tinder . Also have you tried any of those sealants for clothes or homemade wax concoctions?

I've only used Otter Wax, and I think that will have to be included in the next comparison.

It was pretty good! There are vent holes though, and some water got in there...

I can vouch for the wills jacket holding up really well. Spent an entire day over memorial day weekend in a torrential downpour and stayed dry. Love the jacket

My flint and tinder ( same jacket ) does well in wet English conditions. The belstaffs are something else though mate . Top notch . Cracking video as always.

At that point why wouldn't you take the Flint and Tinder hunting? It's half the price of the other jackets and only performed slightly worse.

Agreed, thats what really surprised me about this comparison. If you dont need big dump pockets or anything, then the less expensive option is better.

I'm guessing the leaking shoulder seams are because the jacket was made from cloth that was already waxed, and not waxing the coat as a finished item. Therefore there was no wax worked into the seams.
