I really like traditional British and American waxed country/hunting jackets, but it is very rare that the two meet. So I decided to make something that I could wear all year round without looking too much like I am a member of landed gentry or someone who rides around in the background on the Yellowstone Ranch. So welcome to the Dalefort jacket, your new favourite coat.
Like always we start with the lovely fabric, this is made by Halley Stevensons in Dundee and is made from their super modern dry wax which doesn’t have the same greasy as hand feel as traditional wet wax, but it does exactly the same as regards keeping you dry! The fabric is windproof, quiet and feel absolutely amazing, we have even lined it in a wonderful cotton check through the body to give it a real traditional waxed jacket feel.
The Dalefort is a perfect mix of all my favourite waxed jackets from a design point and I always found it weird that this type of jacket doesn’t exist yet. There are four flapped and brass poppered pockets to the front, this is more often seen in American hunting jackets than British ones, which adds storage and gives a much cleaner look than the usual bellows pockets you see on UK-made jackets. There is a corduroy collar with a storm flap for extra warmth should the British weather try its best to get in. Also, on the topic of storms, we have added a storm cuff at the wrist. A storm cuff is like a normal jacket cuff except it is lined in waterproof fabric and has a knitted, ribbed cuff to stay tight to your wrist and keep the elements out. At the rear there are poppered side vents should you need a little extra movement across the hips and thighs when walking.
The jacket is entirely lined and has a drip strip at the bottom of the lining so that if any water does get underneath your jacket it will drain right off rather than absorbing into the coat and making it heavier. There is one zipped pocket inside and the front of the jacket also features a two-way zip that is protected by a poppered flap.
The jackets are put together by Upender and his wonderful team in Bolton, Lancashire – should you want to learn a little more about Upender we have a wonderful video below that shows why buying local is important.
So, a bit of TRiCKETT history, what I believe is the perfect waxed jacket that isn’t really waxed but it is… Confusing? Maybe. A world class jacket? Definitely!
