For Your Pleasure : Halley Stevensons Woodland Jacket For J. Crew

Waxed Cotton is the original performance fabric – beginning life over 200 years ago with sailcloth cloaks created to provide protection on the worlds' oceans. Today, it's more than a tough shield against the elements: it's become an icon of natural style, seen both in the countryside and on city streets around the world.
Halley Stevensons are specialist manufacturers of Waxed and Oiled Cottons, with proven expertise and years of experience developing new, and refining traditional waxed cotton finishes, all to the highest quality and performance standards. As this unique fabric has moved beyond the traditional waxed jacket, and into new and exciting markets around the world, our product range has adapted and expanded – offering a bespoke product to match any design.
     I basically pulled the above directly off the Halley Stevensons website, if your more interested in them and the waxed cotton process please visit their website here http://www.waxedcotton.com/
I'm very pleased with this jacket, it looks great, feels great and offers quite a bit of versatility.  It's been cold a couple mornings here in Houston and I'm glad I've got this Jacket because it's warm indeed.  I snagged it from J. Crew in the Galleria for around $195.00 after a 30% off promotion and another credit card offer. Not bad considering original price was 290.00.  Jamie has the Barbour and it's a great piece, but I prefer this jacket because the collar flaps were a little smaller.

here are a few pics for your pleasure
