When winter rolls around, most men’s thoughts instinctively turn towards their outerwear choices and, so far as we’re concerned here at Coolector HQ, you can’t beat a good quality waxed jacket. Luckily there are plenty of different waxed jackets to choose from to suit every style and budget and if you find yourself in the market for a stylish new piece of outerwear, look no further.

Check out our pick of 6 of the best men’s waxed jackets below:

Peregrine Bexley Waxed Jacket – $299

Each one of these Peregrine Bexley Waxed Jackets ($299) is cut from an 8 oz Millerain cotton fabric with a soft hand and water-repellent finish that will give it a striking aesthetic that gets better with time and each adventure you take it on. Peregrine offer 100% British garments with over 220 years of family run experience. For the guys at Peregrine, making apparel isn’t just an art, it’s a way of life.

They’re a family owned and operated brand with over 220 years of experience manufacturing clothes in the UK. And in 1956, the Glover family decided to branch out from just manufacturing and started the brand Peregrine as an homage to their ancestry and traditional British fashion. Today, they still manufacture 100% of their products in Britain with no plans for this to change any time soon. As a staple of their apparel lineup, the Bexley Jacket is a fantastic first line of defence against the winter chills and is ideal for layering when that weather gets particularly brutal in the depths of the winter months. ($299)

It’s cut from a robust shell of waxed shelter cloth that’s water-resistant and forces itself through heavy brush like nobody’s business, not to mention the eye-catching patina it will accrue over time.
