The Time is Right for Knickerbocker’s Bay Waxed Cotton & Nylon Jacket

If there was ever a time for a waxed jacket, it would be the seasonal transitional on the horizon. Thankfully Knickerbocker is right on queue with its Bay Waxed Cotton & Nylon Jacket. As with most in its field, of course, there’s going to be some Barbour inspiration going on but Knickerbocker does a great job paying homage while doing its own thing.

The Bay is made from water and wind-repellant brushed cotton & nylon blend from Olmetex —an expert technical fabric manufacturer over in Italy — so you can rest easy knowing this waxed shell has what it takes to keep you protected. With a signature woven cotton plaid liner and satin-lined sleeves, the jacket perfectly captures the rugged elegance that makes waxed jackets a timeless option in both their native British countryside and the streets of New York that inspire Knickerbocker NYC.

Closed out with a branded snap front and 2-way zipper in addition to the prerequisite corduroy collar and chest pockets galore, you know you have a good jacket on your hands when you look forward to bad weather to put it to the test. Each piece is made in Portugal and comes with hidden elasticated cuffs for further protection from the elements.

Available for $495 from Knickerbocker.
