Wax jacket / coat Bob James
Re: Wax jacket / coat Bob James
Saw a lovely old Barbour riding coat today for sale in a little shop down in Somerset, sadly funds didn't allow me to buy it. Looked wonderful

Re: Wax jacket / coat Bob James
I have one of these from Jack Pike. It's not a barbour but it is noiseless, waterproof, has plenty of pockets, Hood and a flap inside which folds out for you to sit on. Less than half the price of a Barbour too.

I'd appreciate it too, if someone knew. Bob James's coat looks the mutts. I have only this TENT !!!
Hahaha!

The coat Bob James used to wear was from a company called Mainstream who I believe are now no more. another product I used to sell. It was nylon though, not waxed cotton.

I love that photo. Reminds me of Ivor Cutler.
