Are those capes on Driza-bone items removable? I like the look of their Bushman, but that cape is a complete deal-breaker for me.
Found a Driza-bone Aussie Ranger jacket that has some possibilities. Looks pretty nice.

I own a few Barbour coats and love them. My oldest has held up for 20 years, others are used infrequently when tha ged vintage look may not be appropriate.
Do be aware of the Barbour knockoffs often found on ebay. Be sure it comes from an authorized stockist. I bought one off of ebay a few years ago and it fit way too small. A few of the details just did not add up. I suspected it to be a fake and filed a Paypal claim. They required an 'expert" option so I sent it to the USA Barbour distributor. They found 15 things wrong with the copy and forwarded the info to Paypal who settled the claim immediately, Barbour USA then went after the bootleg seller AND sent me a brand new Barbour for free for helping them out.

Driza-bone.
Legion- All I can say is THANK YOU! Driza-Bone didn't even enter my mind until you posted this. After a bit of research and an EBAY leap of faith purchase, I couldn't be happier with my DrizaBone Ranger. It's exactly what I was looking for.
The construction is top-notch, it keeps me well protected from the elements, and so far, I've received compliments from half a dozen people on it's looks. Most importantly, SWMBO loves the way it looks on me.
I may still own a Filson or Barbour one of these days, but for now, the Driza Bone is working out quite nicely.
FWIW, the Drizabone is now soaking in a bathtub with a little soap in preparation for it's rewaxing. Although it was a very mild winter here in Wisconsin, it was wet and cold enough to give the coat a good test of it's worth.
It's a winner.
A Barbour is still in my future, but I'm going to enjoy this coat until it's been worn to threads.
Er, are these factory instructions? Unless you're going out in a monsoon every day for 3 months it really shouldn't need it. I'd wait until you actually get some seepage at the seams and then touch them up. Soap? Isn't this already on this thread? No soap on waxed cotton
Now that it's been mentioned, though, the Border could use a bit of a touch-up. I think I have a spare tin somewhere ...
