Waxed Briar Jacket Rich Brown

Good quality from England, love my jacket.

This is the 5 or 6th Jacket that I have personally purchased or for family and friends. This was for a friend but you cannot beat these jackets up. Admittedly I am rough on gear and these things stand up. If you want to wear it out on the town or to the field in the mud this jacket is for you.

I love this jacket. Comfortable, waterproof and I have been looking for quite awhile for a jacket like this. Very high quality.

Finding clothing that can stand up to the extreme Alaska terrain is not easy. But so far I have found nothing that this jacket can’t handle. I’ve worn it all hunting and sporting clay season as well as throughout the winter as my everyday jacket, It has handled everything I’ve thrown at it. Its ability to blockout wind, rain and snow and keep you warm in temperatures down in the low 20’s is remarkable.

I’m a falconer and tromping through heavy brush and snow getting to my hawk that’s caught a snowshoe hare is not easy feat sometimes. The jacket not only provides additional protection from her talons but has held up so that other than the natural “broke in” look of a canvas jacket, it looks perfect. Wish I could upload a picture to prove it.

Aside from its durability, cleaning this jacket is amazingly easy. I gotten it extremely muddy and even got grease on it greasing the tractor and cleaned it up with nothing more than a damp cloth and a very tiny amount of dawn on the grease. I would note that I have the brown color though, can’t say the lighter colors would look the same. I will know so enough though, as I bought my wife the woman tan color for Christmas.

I really like this jacket and look forward to bird hunting this fall in the dew-covered tundra we experience here in Alaska hunting upland birds above 3000ft elevations. I will definitely be putting it to the test hiking through willows and alders seeking out ptarmigan and spruce grouse. I am a little concerned about being able to layer though, the medium fits me great right now but the shoulders are a little snug, and adding a vest or hoodie may not work out.
