Is it warm enough for winter?

It blocks wind and rain but has little insulation. It works as an outer layer over a sweater or fleece in cold weather.

Does it run true to size?

Owners say it runs roomy to allow layering. Those who want a closer fit often size down.

New waxed cotton can leave a slight residue on light fabrics, especially in warm conditions. It fades as the jacket breaks in.

Sponge it clean with cold water and avoid machine washing or detergent, which strip the wax. Re-wax worn areas to keep it weatherproof.

Less than a technical shell. It suits cool, wet weather better than warm or humid days.

The waxed cotton shell and heavier build give more weather protection than lighter cotton or nylon field jackets.
