Once again, the catalog has introduced me to a top-notch product. Oilskin is heavy and smells of oil and wax when new, so be aware. (The smell is very temporary and inoffensive.) This is a sign that it is correctly made. And you can't put it in the washing machine, although cleaning is actually easy, and instructions are included. Attention to detail, heavy duty components (snaps and zipper) and versatile pockets are exactly as described. If this sounds like something you want...it probably is (and it's well worth it). You'll probably like the collar and liner, too. I am very satisfied.

The multi-pocket design works for field photography/hiking activities. Equipment for both activities is close at hand and quickly accessible in the pockets. I have not yet had the opportunity to use the jacket in wet-weather conditions to test the water resistance. The only changes that I recommend are incorporation of one larger pocket (larger than the largest pocket currently incorporated into the design), and a hood that can be rolled into the collar of the jacket. This is an all-around nice jacket.

I bought this for a male friend, and he adores it! It's well made and good looking. He says he feels "special" when he wears it. Thank you.
