Why We Designed the Bushman’s Waxed Oilskin Vest

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.

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.
