Inspired by the rugged work clothes worn by ranchers and opal miners in the Australian outback, this cotton canvas jacket will stand up to even the most adventurous travel. The double-weave cotton resists snags, and has a broken-in softness from day one. Six pockets allow plenty of room to securely carry all you need in town or on the trail. The elasticized waistband and cuffs keep the cold out, and the soft poly lining wicks away moisture. The versatile jacket features a leather collar.

I am glad I bought this jacket when I did. I hesitated about the size but no problem. The size was great, the material. Is great. Get one as soon as you can you don't want to miss out on this jacket.
I've just received this jacket, and can't yet determine how rugged it will be, but the quality of workmanship is very high. The materials are all very nice. The size was right on (I was worried about that), and it seems that the sleeve length will be right for rides on my motorcycle.
I'll know more after I have 50,000 or 60,000 miles on it.
Our first order was not a gift. We had our ranch brand embroidered on the jacket. When relatives and empoyees saw the jacket they loved them. We eventually made four orders (approx 12 jackets!)The jackets are rather light weight which is good for mild winters, spring and fall, but a little more dressy than the usual work jacket that is common in this area of Oklahoma. The jacket has numerous pockets which comes in handy but you do have to pay attention as to which pocket you put things or you will end up thinking that you lost items.
Please read the label about washing this jacket before you come in contact with something lighter in color. The dye rubs off very easily. Otherwise, this is a very nice, comfortable jacket.
I bought this jacket for my husband for Christmas and intended it for wearing in the Spring/Fall. He has worn it several times and is very pleased with it. It looks very classy and is a very well-made garment.
Far to expensive as Fedex wil sent you and additional invoice for the shipment to Belgium. You will not be warned by NG while ordering, and they don't care.
I think L in the states is XL in Europe, so it's to big for me.
The color is also a bit diffrent.
This jacket replaces one that I love and have worn for years, and it does a good job at it. The color and style caught my eye in the catalog, and I was not disappointed when it arrived. It displays that rugged Aussie style without going overboard, and the quality is second to none. Glad I bought it.
Color shown is light tan. Purchased 2 sizes for my husband, both are dark orange in color. Nothing like the picture, and not very attractive. Otherwise nice jacket. Sleeve at bicep area is very large, bulky.
I wear a 46" long with a 39" waist. The extra large was bulky so I exchanged it for a large which fit me perfectly. The jacket is very comfortable and looks great paired with the Hattersley wave scarf. It's a solidly built jacket that I wear on all but the coldest days. The front pockets are large and deep with a zippered interior pocket that is ideal for your wallet. At this price point it's a real value.
Pocket are poorly designed ... awkward to access and shallow. But worse yet is the lining that bleeds. They recommended washing the jacket before using it and I did, but the thing bled on itself and was permanently stained before I ever used it. Would rather have my money back - versatile as a "knock about" but not impressed overall.
I really like the jacket, except that the body is too short. I bought an XL and it fits perfectly in the shoulders and body. The XXL is much to wide for me, but the XL is short. I think that a standard XL should be about 2 inches longer in the torso.
"A jacket with comfort, utility, and rugged appearance"
All the good characteristics I have listed (pros) describe this jacket. In addition, I like the elasticized cuffs and waistband, giving the jacket a trim look to the torso and adding to warmth. The color is good; not too bright but still more than a beige. I also like the leather collar. Plenty of pockets help with utility and the lining is good. The jacket is a little expensive, but you get what you pay for.
I use it on a daily basis. it is well made and I like the rugged zipper. For the purposes of daily usage, it fits the bill.
The only negative is the inside pocket zipper should be sturdier. It needs to be coddled when I try to open or close it.
I bought this as a birthday gift for my husband and we both love the way it looks and fits. It seems well constructed. But after a half dozen wearings and one careful washing, the knit wrist bands and waist have already begun to pill.
