The short answer: The Jermyn Waxed Cotton Cord-Collar Field Coat (£229.00) is a waxed cotton field coat with a corduroy collar, in a regular fit, sizes S–XXL. Its record describes it as a hard-wearing outer layer built for wet British weather — cold, damp UK commutes and country weekends. Take your usual size. It is not washed or dry cleaned: sponge it with cold water and re-wax when needed.
WARDLEY London is our own store — prices and product facts below are taken from our own listings.
What is a waxed cotton field coat?
A field coat is a practical, hard-wearing outer layer made for being outdoors, and this one is cut in waxed cotton with a corduroy collar. It is not a tailored overcoat and not a technical waterproof shell — the Jermyn's record publishes no waterproof rating, and none is claimed here.
How we chose these: the coats below are compared on price, sizes offered, the cloth exactly as stated on each product's record, and the care instruction each record publishes — from our own product data.
What is the Jermyn made from?
The Jermyn is waxed cotton, with a corduroy collar. That is the whole of what its record states about cloth — no blend percentages are published, so none are given here. Best for wet British weather: the record describes it as a hard-wearing waxed cotton outer layer built for cold, damp UK commutes and country weekends.
How does the Jermyn fit?
It is a regular fit — take your usual size. Sizes run S, M, L, XL and XXL, all at £229.00, and there is no colour choice on this product: the variants are sizes only. The record publishes no garment measurements for the Jermyn, so check the store's size guide rather than a measurements table.
What do you wear a field coat with?
Wear it the two ways its own record suggests. Best for country weekends: over a cable-knit jumper with dark jeans and boots. Best for a damp commute: over a check shirt with chinos. A field coat is the layer for days when a tailored coat is too formal and a jumper alone is not enough.
How do you care for waxed cotton?
Do not wash it and do not dry clean it — that is the record's own instruction. Sponge the coat with cold water when it needs cleaning, and re-wax it when needed. Always check the garment label first.
