The Jacket Guide
Jackets we wear for years: on materials, craft and inspiration
We've always thought a good jacket is the garment that does the most work. It takes the rain, the wind and the daily wear before anything else does, and it stays with you through more seasons than almost anything else in your wardrobe. That's why we look as closely at the fabric and the stitching as we do at the silhouette.
Here we've gathered what we think is worth knowing about the materials and the thinking behind the jackets from Brixtol Textiles, one of the brands we trust most.
Curtis
A classic jacket with function at its core
The Curtis by Brixtol Textiles is a mid-length jacket with a regular fit, crafted from durable, high-quality organic cotton with a water-repellent wax finish from Dundee, Scotland. It features a corduroy collar, four snap-button closure, two front pockets with flaps, and two angled welt pockets to help keep your hands warm. Made in Birmingham, UK.
To extend the life of your jacket and maintain the water-repellent finish of the outer fabric, we recommend rewaxing it regularly.
Davonna
Oversized jacket with spacious pockets
Davonna by Brixtol Textiles is an oversized jacket made from waxed organic cotton, featuring a relaxed, A-line silhouette. Made in Birmingham, UK, the jacket has a classic corduroy collar, large rounded front pockets, and a concealed snap-button and two-way zip closure at the front for a clean look. The water-repellent and wind-resistant design is finished with an additional snap button at the collar for extra protection. To extend the life of the garment, we recommend rewaxing the outer fabric regularly.
About the material
Waxed Cotton
Waxed cotton is tightly woven fabric treated with wax, which makes it water-repellent without a plasticky feel. It develops character over time, with creases and shades that take shape from how you wear it. Our selection comes mainly from Brixtol Textiles, made from organic cotton with details built to last. The waxing is done in Dundee, Scotland.

Brooks
Classic coat with function at its core

About the material
Brushed Cotton
Brushed cotton is cotton fabric that has been mechanically brushed to give it a soft, slightly matte feel with a bit more warmth than regular cotton. In our selection from Brixtol Textiles it comes in an organic cotton blend, and every jacket has a waterproof membrane and taped seams for protection against rain and wind.
