As far as the wax coat deal, I'm also quite curious to see how this will look.

Fit pics aren't really my thing, but maybe I can throw something together next week and throw it up as a redux. No promises haha.<br /><br />Manifold- Thanks for leaving your own opinions and dropping some knowledge. Debate = the best thing on this blog.<br /><br />Joe- Mr. Gannon, you are the man.

I just did it...<br /><br />Honestly, it's just a matter of time and detail. The wax is straight from Filson's. Took me about 1-1.5 hours of total time for the jacket (and 2 tins of wax per jacket). Used small circles, working it into the fabric...concentrating on the seams and underneath the collar. It's also important to take your time and work your way across and down the coat...making sure you are not missing any spots. The Filson's wax has a great smell...and it makes the jacket take on a whole new look.<br />As far as fit goes...I'm happy with it...I've been wearing it as a top coat (especially in the rain--as the water beads up beautifully)...I have the Medium and I'm 6'2" and 185lbs, I wear a 42/43 jacket and have a 32 inch waist.<br /><br />I'll try and get up a post...although, I don't have a really good before shot...I was just too excited to get moving with the wax, that I just went for it when UPS walked in with the box from Lands End. Wishing I would have done some good before shots...If anyone gets one and wants it waxed, I'd be happy to make it happen...for one reader of Sart Inc.<br /><br />Thanks for the nod L.<br />JoeJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678334341374079080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-64588554168225386402009-12-13T17:10:49.857-05:002009-12-13T17:10:49.857-05:00Good review, but I've got to disagree on the w...Good review, but I've got to disagree on the white chambray. I got one too and was really disappointed in the fabric (feels like an oxford), the contrast stitching on the collar (looks cheap), though the fit is decent. I also got the striped chambray and the gingham poplin and like those a lot. Waxed cotton peacoat sounds like a fun project though...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895647038898538515.post-79659543610712670782009-12-13T16:53:51.715-05:002009-12-13T16:53:51.715-05:00First: Thanks!
