This is absolutely gorgeous... and so packed with features it's hard to know where to start! First, the wax cotton shell was made by Halley Stevenson's of Dundee, Scotland--it's their signature "home and dry" finish. In my view, this is comparable to Barbour's old-style wax, but without the distinctive smell--and it's superior to the "sylkoil" used by Barbour now. The wax cotton shell is lined in cotton tartan lining, which was woven in England.
These British materials have all been put to good use--this is a wonderful jacket! It appears to be a cross between a Barbour International (since it's black, and packed with functional pockets), and a Border (in length). This jacket features two bellows chest pockets secured by studs, and two bellows lower pockets, also secured by studs. (All studs have "Brooke Brothers" imprinted on them.) The cuffs are also secured by studs; the sleeves are lined in the same tartan cotton as the body, making this jacket very easy to get on and off, and the cuffs are lined in thin-wale corduroy. The back has a dual vent secured by studs; but this has a neat arrangement whereby when the vent is not secured closed it does not flap loose, but is still secured to the body of the coat by a triangular section of lining. This jacket features a half-belt at the back, giving it a slimmer silhouette. It has a corduroy collar, and built into the collar is a rainhood, as shown. The collar also has a fully functional storm flap, again secured by studs. The interior has two deep pockets, including a security pocket secured with a stud and latch fastening.
This is an exceptionally well-designed and well-made jacket using some of the finest materials from Scotland and England! This is also in absolutely excellent, as-new condition. This is this a wonderful steal at just
