Customers praised this lightweight wax jacket for "excellent quality" and "great value for money." The fit runs small; most recommend ordering a size up. Shoppers appreciated the wind and rain protection, though some noted it's not fully waterproof or warm enough for very cold weather. The lining is thinner than expected, and some desired more pockets.
Beautiful, well fitted, rain proof, timeless, phenomenal quality
Performs as well as a Barbour at a fraction of the cost with no loss of quality

Great jacket, but the undisclosed label is disappointing
I really like this jacket overall. The color is beautiful, and the quality and style are exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find a light brown leather label on the left pocket that is not shown or mentioned anywhere in the product description.
In fact, there is a photo showing the left pocket quite clearly, but the label is not present in that image. Since the jacket is otherwise a beautiful, dark, understated color, the light brown label stands out quite a lot and, in my opinion, slightly ruins the overall look.
I would still give the jacket 4 out of 5 stars, because I genuinely like the jacket and its color very much. However, I think customers should be made aware of the label, especially since it is quite noticeable and isn't visible in the product images.

Beautiful jacket, great quality! I sized up and I’m glad I did, usually a medium but got a large and the fit is perfect.

Love it.
The quality is great. The only drawback is the hood, wich is just one seem, so if you put it on you look like a dwarf, and the stip on it hat plastic caps. But because of this its easy to fold and keep in the pocket, and during a stronger rain, you will not care about the looks. So go for it. Used it on a hunt in the rain, 5 hours of thorns, and rain. I was dry and the jacket didn´t care about the blackberry thicket

Great light jacket, looks great and decently made
Great light jacket, looks great and decently made. I usually wear L but ordered a XL for a more relaxed fit and it was the right call. It’s a fall jacket for Canadian weather but holds warmth well when worn with a fleece or wool base layer.

Decent jacket
Decent wax jacket, the material is a good weight between heavy and light. The poppers do seem a little flimsy, we'll see how long they last but this is my only concern.
It's advertised as running a little small so went with the recommendation of ordering a size up but actually returned it and got my usual size which is fitted. The returns process was very easy so not a big deal.

An excellent lightweight wax jacket
An excellent lightweight wax jacket. Having read the reviews and taken advice from New Forest I ordered XL instead of my usual size L. The XL is a good fit for me with room for layers which may be needed in cold weather. The hood is quite large. The service from New Forest was first class.

Very nicely made. Runs a bit small, but we took that into account when ordering. Partner loves the weight and style.

The Men's Classic Antique Wax Jacket is an excellent blend of style and practicality. The antique wax finish gives it a rich, rugged look while providing great protection against wind and rain. The fit is comfortable without being too tight, allowing room for layering on colder days. The lining is soft and warm, adding to the overall comfort. The pockets are well-placed and spacious, perfect for carrying essentials. The quality of the stitching and material suggests that its built to last. Its a timeless piece that works equally well for outdoor adventures or casual wear. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a durable and stylish jacket!
