Excellent jacket at a keen price

The jacket was delivered within two days, well packaged and wrapped. It is exactly as depicted on the website and is a good fit. I'll be able to layer up come the winter. I bought it with autumn winter in mind however, the weather did give me an opportunity to try it out a few days ago, over the north Pennine hills. It does what is required well. Keeps the rain and wind out, is very comfortable to wear and the hood is a really good size. I'm also very impressed with the array of pockets. Excellent work New Forest, thank you.

Great Quality Coat

The size guide recommended the large, but it was too big for me. I returned it hassle free and received a medium size. Very happy with the coat, though the lining could have been a bit thicker and softer.

Woodsman II Wax Jacket

I purchases a Woodsman II Wax Jacket from New Forest Clothing and I am very pleased with the quality, fit, color, price, and extremely fast delivery. I would purchase from New Forest again without hesitation.

Just for reference, I am 169cm and with a 94cm chest size. I ordered a size S and it fits perfectly. It can easily fit a wool jumper under it or just a t-**** and it looks great either way. I especially like the length, as it reaches mid thigh, which is perfect for rainy weather.

I only have 2 small issues which aren't deal breakers. The hood is a little big and can obstruct my vision a little, but if I wear a hat with the hood up it's perfect. The other is the sleeves are quite long for me, but I just rolled them over, which works great because the inside cuffs are corduroy and they look great rolled up, but they can get wet in the rain.

Overall, extremely happy for a quality jacket without paying hundreds of Euros.

If in doubt, pick a larger size

If in doubt, pick a larger size, as this (‘Large ‘) was slightly smaller than expected.
The wax smell is rather strong, too, but otherwise it is a well made coat

Thanks for your review. Our waxed jackets can have a fairly strong smell at first due to the fresh wax finish, but this will dissipate quite quickly with wear or if hung up in a well-ventilated area. We’re pleased to hear you’re happy with the quality of the coat, and we appreciate the sizing feedback too — if anyone is between sizes, we’d generally recommend sizing up for a more comfortable fit.

The coat is well made & finished

The coat is well made & finished and unlike many waxed jackets doesn’t feel too heavy. I’ve yet to test it in a winter downpour but so far in light rain it has been totally waterproof. Elasticated and poppered inner cuffs would make a great addition to this jacket to keep in warmth.

Quality, great looks.

I'm really pleased with my purchase so far. Of course time will tell on durability but the quality looks good and the fit is perfect - I used their sizing guide. Great as a lightweight, smart but everyday useable coat.

Great fit I ordered a size larger, and fit is perfect. It is less greasy than my previous wax coats. The lining thinner than I imagined and no inner cuffs on sleeves. To be fair, it's as described, and I still give it 5 stars. Very well made, outer material feels very good quality and heavy gauge. The 2 zipped inside pockets are a bonus and nice to have. Overall highly recommended.

Great jacket. I didn’t pay close attention to the sizing guide, where it was very well pointed out that one needs slightly larger size for more relaxed fit. So when I returned the size L and got XL it was a fantastic fit exactly to my liking.

Excellent. Looks very smart and good value.
