You would be forgiven in thinking that wax jackets are really only for the countryside; too utilitarian for the city. But nothing could be further from the truth. Wax jackets come in a bewildering array of lengths, styles, colours, fabrics and linings, and you will find them being flaunted on the most chic streets of London as well as gracing the sporting field, shrugging off mud and rain as they were originally designed to do. Some now come with exotic linings by Liberty® of London, or trimmed with sumptuous faux fur hoods and collars. Barbour, NEW John Partridge and Driza-Bone predominate here.
