Who makes the best waxed cotton jacket?
-
RGT also do a sturdy range of waxed canvas jackets. There is no lining in this one, but I purchased for here in the UK as a summer jacket. Quality is great, but I suspect not shoulder to shoulder with Ship John. It is also now widely known to be making an appearance on Bonds back in the new 007 when it finally hits the cinema later in the year. Def worth a check out @phillyforager

I like the RGT jacket as well, though since there is no lining it can feel a bit flimsy when wet. Maybe I am just used to Iron Heart gear, though? Still, a great jacket.

Railcar makes an unlined 17oz work version.

I used to own the RgT waxed supply jacket. Nice jacket but kinda thin. I think it was around 7oz or so. I ended up selling it because waxed canvas gets dirty easily, doesn’t breathe well and are a pain to rewax. I have a Filson waxed tin cruiser that hardly gets worn for the same reasons.

Buy a secondhand IHJ-34.
Wax it.
Problem solved. -
Mercy Supply makes waxed jackets too. I have one of their non waxed jackets and it is nice.
