Walker & Hawkes Ladies Victoria Wax Jacket
The Ladies Victoria Wax Jacket by Walker and Hawkes is a lightweight, waterproof jacket which looks smart, but also casual enough to wear all year round, whether in the town or country. It is authentically made in Britain using 100% quality waxed cotton. Walker & Hawkes have been manufacturing this garment for over 20 years and have perfected the manufacturing process to ensure practicality, durability and quality is maintained with every jacket. Your Victoria Jacket will be waterproof to protect your body while venturing out in the rain. It comes without padding to keep you lightweight – perfect for those mild spring and autumn days. During the winter, you can layer a jumper or gilet underneath to offer the extra warmth you might need. Poppers on either side of the waist and each sleeve allow you to adjust the fit to suit you.
Waxed cotton has been around since the 15th century as a way for Scottish fishermen to waterproof their sails without affecting its efficiency. Back then, they used fish oils – different to the superior paraffin or natural beeswax-based wax we use today. Leftover pieces of cloth were used as capes to keep the fishermen dry. This evidently worked well, as waxed cotton is now a very popular fabric to use for jackets. One of the reasons waxed jackets can last a lifetime is that you can restore your jacket using our Waxed Cotton Dressing. Improving its longevity and waterproof capabilities – you’ll not need another jacket for a long time!
Made in UK.
