Cleveland’s Dredgers Union delivers a small collection of outwear for the 2011 cold seasons. Keeping their production in the United States has always been an important aspect of the line, which sells direct to customers through their online shop. This has helped them keep their price-points in check while offering quality-made goods. Nothing too out of the ordinary with the collection – you’ll find a selection of solid choices including a melton wool trooper jacket, waxed cotton “H” jacket with quilted liner and more.

Ah, to think that only six months ago we were practically begging for more waxed jackets – now we can’t swing a cat without running into one. To make a slightly random analogy, we feel like the guy who asked for a slice and got given the whole cake instead. This jacket is just well done enough to pique our interests though, we’d understand if bright yellow jackets weren’t your thing, but it’s right up our alley. (Kiosk 78)

It’s our window and we can’t stand the rain (or snow, depending on where you are). While wool duffles are all well and good for warmth, they have their downsides. Firstly all snow tends to settle on the jacket, leaving you looking like you have a massive bout of dandruff and when the snow melts, it tends to leave everything a little soggy – not a good look (or smell). That’s why we stick with the waxed cotton in truly adverse conditions – and whaddya know? this Barbour jacket is made from waxed cotton. And it’s got a hood – great for protecting your expensive wooly hat in a downpour. (Farfetch)

We go from peacoats to this waxed cotton jacket which is a great look for the weekend drive to the hills. J. Lindeberg drops their “Rubin” jacket for Autumn/Winter 2009. “Rubin black beat waxed cotton jacket with a slight sheen, high collar including adjustable buckle fastening, concealed zip and button fastening, epaulettes and a single shoulder shooting cape. The jacket also features concealed front pockets with an extended seam. Internally the jacket is lined with a removable black quilted J.Lindeberg gilet, which features a vertical internal chest pocket.” A clean look.

It’s nice to know someone’s listening. We’ve been championing waxed cotton in all it’s forms for eons and now Hope have launched a new collection, solely dedicated to creating pieces from the material. According to the guys at Hope the wax is ‘advanced silicone wax’, which basically means it can go without the rewaxing that that traditional stuff requires.

Hope co-founder Stefan Söderberg states that the main reason behind the wax wear collection was their “mutual love for classic function in a modernized style. When we started Hope we wanted to find a fabric that could be worn all year
round and work as our basic fabric and waxed cotton is perfect for that”. Due for release at Hope’s online store and selected retailers in mid-November.

With Barbour jacket’s finding their way onto every Hoxtonite in sight, finding a waxed cotton jacket that doesn’t look out misplaced in the city has become a tough task. Our main issue wasn’t that it looked bad per se; it just didn’t feel right wearing a pristine Barbour in the city.

Updating a classic, Lou Dalton’s jacket is a refreshing shade of burgundy, separating the wearer from the swathes of navy’s, grey and military greens that menswear is fond of this season. On top of this, it’s also got the added bonus of being made in England. Price is £275 and it’s available from Daniel Jenkins.
