Outback Trading Company Unisex 5008 Bush Ranger Waterproof Breathable Long Sleeve Oilskin Cotton Western Duster Jacket

I have two of their hats and was not entirely sure about spending money on a jacket online. I am completely over that now. I love this jacket and really wish I had bought one last year when I first thought about getting one. My only regret is not getting this jacket sooner. We get really wet winters in Houston sometimes and this one is definitely no an exception. I was out in pouring rain for hours with my jacket and matching hat and was the driest warmest person outside. Fantastic fit, very comfortable, adjustable and obviously very durable and easy to clean. I got a ton of ash on my jacket cleaning out the fire pit and I just had to hose it off and air dry it to look as good as the day it arrived. The care and cleaning instructions sewn into the jacket are also worth the purchase.Not that it's important to me, I have noticed that I get lots of compliments on it too.One of my favorite part of this jacket is the care and cleaning label - it is so 100% accurate and a little humorous.2019-02-27 Update:We have had rain almost every single day since about Yule this winter. I think this is the wettest winter on record for us since record keeping started. Anyway. I wear the jacket daily. I have never had to do anything to keep it clean other than hose it off and air dry it. Even when my kids covered me in wet gooey mud thinking it was soooo funny. (it was)Yesterday really put this jacket to the test. With it so wet out the banks of my pond are super slippery and I was trying to step over my canoe when I just lost footing and did a cartoon-like face-plant into the pond and mud of the bank. I fell so hard I tore my right rotator cuff (F-ing hurts like hell too). My pond is filled with mud and leaves and duck weed right now cause of the weather.I looked like a Texas version of the swamp thing when I stood up. Even the pockets were full of muddy water. I was not happy.Once the pain was under control I took myself to the patio to hose off, I couldn't even get in the house with hosing off I was such a mess. The jacket was a horrid mess, I thought it had to be a goner, but I just started Hosing it off. Filling the pockets with water washing the mud out of the sleeves and the pockets. Took a while but eventually it was completely soaking wet but looked clean. not one drop of soap required. I dried it out and it is just like it was brand spanking new still. I used paper towels and turned the pockets inside out to dry them faster.II am amazed the jacket is absolutely perfect the next day. No smell either, just like it was new and it's over a year old now. I wear it daily with this cold wet weather we have been having.Amazing quality and really what they advertised for a very reasonable price point. The matching hat is also just as reliable. Just hose it off too.

This has been a good buy. It was a good value for the money. It is a high quality waterproof duster. I love this style and the weight. It is held up over time and I am so pleased with it. It fit true to size.

I read a lot of the reviews trying to get an idea for the right size for me, had to also keep in mind i will CC and need a little space but not be oversized at the same time.I am 5'7" at 146 pounds and the extra small would probably fit but the CC would be a question especially if I get the cold weather liner. But being I am in SoFlo I doubt I will need a liner, the jacket will do as is for our short cool periods and lots of rain periods.

Just like the duster, only cut shorter and the sleeves don't cinch down as tight, even though it does have the 2 snaps for 2 positions. I'll have to add another snap or tailor the sleeves if I don't want water running down my arm, reaching up in the wet.Some said the size runs big, but I got just what I expected, based on the Medium duster I bought from the same company. There's enough room to stack layers underneath for the coldest weather, with full freedom of movement. The drawstring waist is great for super-cold or cold and windy conditions.Yeah, if you're looking to wear it over a T-shirt and style it up in town, it's a little big, maybe. But if you want a tough year-round shell that'll last for years, this is it. I'll be wearing mine in ALL weathers, once the mercury drops below 40, adding or subtracting layers, as conditions demand. In summer, it's strictly for downpours or late nights at elevation.The 12-oz fabric is slightly heavier than the 11-oz Filson shelter-cloth all-season raincoat, which I was interested in, but was out of stock for over a month, so I re-thought it. For 1/3 the price, I think I'm getting exactly what I wanted, except it doesn't have a hood, and looks to be a little more rugged than the pricier Filson.For my purposes a heavy, 2-way YKK zipper would be a nice option, but I'm perfectly happy with the snaps, which will be more reliable and it'll be easier to cope with any one of 'em breaking at a time (which is unlikely), unlike a zipper, which either works or doesn't.

I love the look and the quality is fair. The jacket is shorter than it shows it should be. I was super sad by that. The jacket also looks a bit smaller than a regular 3x. The fabric is thin and looks a bit fragile. I am going to make sure the measurements are true to the companies claims and if not then sadly I will return. The look on the size reminds me of a 3x tee shirt that came from a discount store. When you wash the discount tee shirt it will shrink and become boxy. That is what this jacket reminds me of. Fast shipping was a plus.

This was my best purchase of the year. I own a large piece of mountain property and wear this to work the land. Fantastic jacket! I thought it might not be warm enough for 8,200 feet in the winter but I was wrong. It is plenty warm. In fact if you’re not careful you’ll overheat and begin to sweat wearing this. It’s also virtually bulletproof driving through the trees on my ATV. Don’t have to worry about snagging or tearing it on branches. Expensive yes but you definitely get what you pay for.

An amazing “rain jacket”. Very happy I bought one.

*Updated Review* Previously purchased a Large in this a few years ago since my old duster that fits good is a large, and it was really big on me, and I gave it to a friend.*New Coat size Small* This coat is very nice. I noticed they tend to run big. I normally wear a medium to large and am fine, however I got a small and it fits perfect. I have a really old Outback duster that is a large and it fits more like a new medium maybe even a small duster would. Also kind of disappointed that the tags inside are now fake leather; the old ones were real leather (not a big deal, just thought it looked better).
