Why We Designed the Bushman’s Waxed Oilskin Vest

We know that life in Australia demands clothing that’s as tough as you are. That’s why we crafted the Bushman’s Waxed Oilskin Vest using a combination of premium waxed cotton, polyester woven pongee, and thoughtful padding for comfort and protection.

This vest isn’t just a fashion statement, it's practical country workwear built for station hands, farmers, travelers, and anyone with a love for the great outdoors. Whether you're riding across open plains or handling a day's work, this oilskin vest has your back.

Features That Set It Apart

When we say this waxed vest is made to last, we mean it. Here's why:

  • Durable Materials: Crafted from 100% BCI cotton (290gsm) and enhanced with 40D 300T polyester woven pongee fabric.

  • Insulation and Comfort: Featuring a lightweight 120gsm middle padding and a breathable 10gsm non woven quilted back.

  • Functional Design: Five external pockets, two internal pockets, side clasps for adjustability, and a secure zipper and snap center.

  • Premium Touches: Real leather tag for that signature rugged feel.

This isn’t just another outback vest, it's a future heirloom.

The Magic of Waxed Cotton: Durable, Rugged, Timeless

One of the standout features of the Bushman’s Vest is the use of waxed cotton. Unlike synthetic fabrics, waxed cotton ages beautifully, developing a unique character over time. As you wear it, the waxed cotton vest forms creases and cracks that tell your story.

The areas that see the most action, like under the arms and sides, will begin to show the original dyed fabric beneath. It's this lived-in, rugged look that makes each vest truly one of a kind.

Practical Details You’ll Appreciate

Real adventurers know that pockets aren’t just nice to have, they’re essential. That’s why we loaded the Bushman’s Waxed Oilskin Vest with:

  • Two internal pockets for valuables

  • Five external pockets for easy-access gear

  • Adjustable side clasps to fine-tune the fit

  • Zipper and snap closure for extra security

Plus, the waterproof work vest design keeps you dry when the elements kick in.
