Just remember a waxed jacket - ......has an oily wax coating surprisingly
Although re-waxable
Funnily enough on hot days it likes impregnating everything else within 3 ft with oily marks.
Whilst great on a submarine or stored in the tack room of a riding stable in the cairngorms
A cali jeep left in the sun will cause the interior to look like a chip fat fryer exploded within the truck when left in contact with the forementioned Barbour
Obviously it can be worked arround
ie when its taken off you can turn the whole thing inside out for storage unless you put it in a fridge
Filson also do waxed tin cloth jackets
Thread count is important too - the cheaper you buy the larger the natural holes you get
From my childhood they were fashionable at the stables and the country pub.................probably still are
But these days with Gortex and its derivatives- function over style for me !
