Wax Jackets - Men's & Women's

A classic wax jacket is a country wardrobe essential — hardwearing, weatherproof and built to last for years of outdoor use. Our range of men's and women's waxed jackets includes traditional field coats from Hoggs of Fife, finished with waxed cotton outers that shrug off rain, wind and thorny hedgerows while staying breathable.

Waxed cotton is naturally water-resistant and becomes more weatherproof with age and re-waxing, making it a genuinely sustainable choice over synthetic waterproofs. Look for corduroy collars, roomy poacher's pockets and tartan linings — classic details built for hunting, shooting, dog walking and everyday countryside wear.

How do you care for a wax jacket?

Wipe off mud and dirt with a damp cloth, avoid machine washing, and re-wax every 1-2 years (or when the fabric starts to look dry) using a dedicated wax jacket dressing to keep it fully weatherproof.

Is a wax jacket warm enough for winter?

Wax jackets are windproof and water-resistant rather than insulated, so for the coldest months layer with a fleece, gilet or quilted jacket underneath.
