Frequently asked questions

What styles of men's coats and jackets does Allingtons offer?

We carry a full range – oilskin and wax jackets, vests, fleece and softshell jackets, puffer/down styles, canvas and work jackets, and lighter casual jackets – from brands like Thomas Cook, Wrangler, Pure Western, Ringers Western and Bullzye. There's something for everything from frosty mornings to cool summer evenings.

What is the difference between an oilskin jacket and a waterproof jacket?

An oilskin is traditional waxed/oiled cotton – breathable, rugged, naturally weather-resistant and a country classic that needs occasional re-proofing to maintain its water resistance. A modern waterproof jacket uses a synthetic membrane or coating for fully sealed, maintenance-free waterproofing, often lighter and more packable. Oilskins offer heritage durability and breathability; modern waterproofs offer lighter, fuss-free protection.

How do I choose the right jacket for cold and wet Australian winters?

For cold and wet, look for genuine weather protection (an oilskin or a waterproof/water-resistant outer) combined with warmth (insulation, fleece lining or a layer underneath). For driving rain choose a waterproof outer with a hood or collar; for dry cold, focus on insulation. Allowing room to layer underneath is the key to staying warm and dry.

What brands of men's jackets are available at Allingtons?

We stock men's jackets from leading country and western brands including Thomas Cook, Wrangler, Pure Western, Ringers Western, Bullzye and Ariat, covering oilskins, vests, fleeces and casual styles.

Are there lightweight jacket options for cooler evenings in summer?

Yes – we carry lightweight vests, softshells, fleeces and light casual jackets that are perfect for cooler summer evenings, early mornings and layering when you don't need a heavy coat.

How do I care for and re-proof an oilskin or wax jacket?

Clean an oilskin by wiping it down with cold water and a sponge – never machine wash, dry clean or use hot water or detergent, as these strip the wax. When it starts to lose its water resistance, re-proof it by warming the jacket and the proofing wax/dressing slightly and rubbing the wax evenly into the fabric (paying attention to seams and creases), then leave it to dry and absorb. Re-proofing once a year or as needed keeps an oilskin weatherproof for decades.
