Mens Coats & Jackets for Every Need

Men's casual jackets sorted by what the weather is doing, from waxed oilskin through canvas, sherpa-lined and quilted.

The Men's Oilskin Jacket, Still the Benchmark

Waxed cotton has been the Australian answer to weather for a century, and it holds its place here for a simple reason: it can be re-proofed rather than replaced. A good oilskin keeps taking wax year after year, ages into something that looks better than it did new, and shrugs off scrub and burrs in a way a synthetic shell does not.

Length is the decision that follows. A short jacket suits anyone climbing in and out of a ute all day, mid-length covers general work without catching on a gate latch, and the full-length duster carries protection all the way down to the boot for anyone in the saddle or standing about in the weather. Outback Trading carries most of that range, with a Thomas Cook option alongside it.

Canvas, Sherpa Lining and the Cold Start

The other half of this page is built for cold rather than wet. A men's canvas jacket gives you a hard-wearing outer face with no wax to maintain, and several here are lined to take the edge off a frosty morning without the bulk of a full coat.

Sherpa lining is the workhorse of that group. Just Country runs its Diamantina jackets in both plain and sherpa-lined versions, and Ritemate does the same through its Pilbara bombers, which is the cheapest way into a properly warm jacket on this page.

Quilted, Denim and Everything Between

Beyond the two big groups, the range covers quilted and insulated jackets for the coldest weeks, denim and trucker cuts for when a jacket is doing more styling than work, and shirt-jackets for the in-between days that never quite decide what they are.

There is a wool shacket in there as well, along with a couple of proper raincoats for the weeks when a wax finish is not quite enough on its own. Colours lean earthy and dark, with browns and navies doing most of the work and black, khaki and a few others turning up as the seasons change. Most of these are cut with room through the chest and shoulder rather than trimmed close, which is what makes them wearable over a jumper.

Women's and Kids' Coats

Several of these labels cut the same jackets across the household, which is useful if you want the family turning up to a campdraft looking like they belong together. The women's coats and jackets range leans further into quilted and tailored styles than this one does, and kids' coats and jackets take the same sherpa and puffer ideas down into smaller sizes at prices that hurt less when one gets left behind at school.

Order Men's Casual Jackets Online

Anything here can be ordered online and ships from the Parafield store, and we cover the freight once the total gets past $175. A jacket has to fit over other clothing, so the size guide on each listing is worth reading with a jumper in mind rather than a T-shirt.

A jacket is one layer of an outfit that usually runs three deep by June, and the rest of the coats and jackets range covers the other two:

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.
