Bushman’s Waxed Oilskin Vest (XS–7XL) | Western Outdoor Vest

The Bushman's Waxed Oilskin Vest, Built for a Lifetime of Adventure

The Bushman's Waxed Oilskin Vest is more than just a piece of clothing, it's a companion for your journey. Crafted from durable waxed cotton and a mix of high performance fabrics, this vest is designed to last a lifetime, gaining character with each wear. As the waxed fabric naturally cracks, creases, and develops a rich patina, it tells the story of your adventures, with every mark and change adding to its timeless charm.

Built to Last

The beauty of waxed cotton lies in its durability and longevity. The densely woven cotton is strong, reliable, and can be maintained by the wearer, unlike many alternatives. The Bushman's Waxed Oilskin Vest features a 40D 300T polyester woven pongee fabric, providing added protection and comfort. The middle padding is 120gsm, ensuring a lightweight yet insulated feel, while the back is constructed from 10gsm nonwoven quilted material for breathability and flexibility.

Over time, as you wear the vest, the wax naturally begins to wear off, particularly in areas with frequent movement, like under the arms, elbows, and sides. These areas will begin to show the original dyed fabric underneath, creating a beautiful contrast. It's a natural process, and part of what makes waxed cotton so unique, its ability to change with you.

Functionality Meets Style

The Bushman's Waxed Oilskin Vest is packed with practical features to keep you comfortable and organized. It boasts:

2 internal pockets for secure storage of essentials
5 external pockets to keep everything you need close at hand
Clasps at the side to adjust the fit for maximum comfort
A zipper and snap centre for added security and ease of use
A real leather tag for a premium touch
