“I have looked all over for a wax jacket like the one I had years ago, to no avail (and I wasn’t going to pay Barbour prices). Came across New Forest Clothing and found exactly what I wanted. Great price, great quality, and the fit is exactly as the size chart said. It pays to measure one of your existing coats using the guide as per their advice. I did this and the got exactly the fit I wanted. I would recommend these as an extremely good, cost effective alternative to more expensive brands. As far as I can tell there is little difference in quality. I’ll be recommending to friends and family.”
“Just received my New Forest cotton waxed jacket, here in Canada, today. Loving it right out of the package. Sizing was correct, and, I'll be able to wear a layer underneath on warmer winter/cooler fall, and spring, days.”
“I ordered a size LARGE ,i am a 40" chest (just checked again ) and this jacket just fits .It looks quite stylish for a wax jacket but wearing only a fleeced lined shirt beneath it there aint much room ... If your going to wear several layers beneath your jacket you may well need to order a larger size . I would return it for an XL but they don,t have any in the wax jackets that i want .
This will do for the not so cold but wet weather , i have an older larger one for the really grotty days . Its not very well padded so you may want the extra layers in which case get a larger size if they have it ,there isn,t a lot sizes on offer at the moment .”
“Good quality jacket at a realistic price. I ordered a XXXL size as I'm a 50 inch chest and its a good fit but not much room underneath for more than a shirt and thin jumper.”
“Looks like I was one of the first people to buy one of these as it has no reviews. Good quality, well made, not padded but lightweight and comfortable. I ordered a XXXL and its about right and not overly big, I am 6'2" 18st with a 52" chest. I wouldnt get many other layers besides a shirt and maybe a thin jumper on under it though.”
