CaptC Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) As above - fair to average condition, a couple of very minor repairs to the non camo side but all OK. Ideal for the quad/Land Rover! 34" nape to hem, 25" under arm but that's generous! (Just noted that there are zipped vents under the arms) Deer Tex membrane! Hand warmer pockets, bellows cartridge pockets, a plastic hanging hook for hanging plastic things, game pocket at the bottom. Years of life yet to come for only £20 posted !!!SOLD!!!

Walker570 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 What a good offer. Problem being I do not have room in my dowstairs hunting / working wardrobe for another sheet of paper but it will make a good regular shooting coat for someone.

Farmboy91 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Hi @CaptC Is it waterproof/ shower proof at all? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks It says "Deer Tex" which is a membrane to keep you dry. I will wear it shortly when I take the dogs for a walk as it is hissing down - we will soon find out!

CaptC Posted February 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Condition report (with no guarantee!) Of course, it did not rain until I nearly got home so in the interest of science I hung the coat on a hanger and blasted the back (seams) with a high pressure hose until the material went dark - obviously soaking in and giving South West Water a bonus. I left the coat for 10 - 15 minutes and with dry hands I could not feel any ingress of water - so it's at least showerproof! Hope this helps!

Thank you for trying it out for me, I've just gone against another jacket and got the missus to measure me but it will be about 8" to long in the back and nearly 5" on the arm 😂 Shame cause it's exactly what I could do with right now.

(You must have quite a short stature? ) I'm an odd size, I'm a tad over 6ft and not overly slim, but most tops like shirts and jumpers are a medium, suit jackets are 42 tailored/slim. It's a pain buying clothes without trying them on. Gutted though because I brought a Parker from decathlon (a small none the less) which is ridiculously warm and comfortable but ive decided it's far too good for shooting 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy91 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 No they are not, but Id end up ruining anything else on a thorn or odd but of wire. That's a result for the buyer! By under arm did you mean armpit to cuff by the way? 13 minutes ago, CaptC said: Oh dear, wax coats are not for cold and wet! I have just checked the jacket again for leaks and it's bone dry.

No, across the back measured from armpit to armpit - just remeasured and it's 24" so allowing for an inch or two it's got to be an X/XL as it falls off me (I'm standard size at 5' 8" 40" chest) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
