Welcome to Talking Points, a series that looks at what makes certain products worth talking about, brought to you by Gear Patrol Studios.

Waxed canvas jackets just seem to tick all the boxes: they offer unmatched protection from the weather; they look better, not worse, as they age; and their waterproofing can be infinitely rejuvenated via re-waxing. In other words, they’re the kind of jacket you buy once, wear all the time, and pass on to your kids.

Among waxed jackets, the RangeWax® Mesquite Brush Jacket from western outerwear brand Schaefer Outfitter stands out for a few key reasons.

An everyday, do-it-all shell

No doubt, heavy wool- and flannel-lined coats have their place on the coldest days. But Schaefer Outfitter purposefully kept the RangeWax® Mesquite Brush Jacket unlined to boost its versatility.

The lightweight yet sturdy construction is as suited for use as a rain shell over a t-shirt as it is fending off wet snow when coupled with heavier mid-layers. The result is a piece that feels like your second skin, offering supreme protection without impacting comfort or mobility.

Timeless design, long-lasting construction

As with most waxed canvas jackets, the RangeWax® Mesquite Brush Jacket comes out of the box slightly stiff but softens and shapes to your body after just a few wears. Then, for the rest of the jacket’s life, it continues to break in and patina, developing its own character that reflects how you use it.

Speaking of use, the jacket’s durable canvas is meant to to be worn hard, though you’ll put it away dry thanks to its signature RangeWax® finish which effectively sheds water and fends off prickly brush without sacrificing fit or comfort.

The shell features a four-pocket front with dual bottom pockets and top pen slot, plus an internal chest pocket. The men’s style is available in three classic colors while the Women’s style features two color options. Additionally, there’s a leather version of the Mesquite Brush Jacket.

This jacket earns its keep

It’s no wonder owners of this jacket rave about it. With durability, comfort, and style so perfectly in balance with one another, it’s a true everyday, do-it-all shell that you can count on whether you’re doing yard work or heading out for a rainy night on the town.

If you’re looking for ultimate flexibility in a jacket you’ll own for the rest of your life, the RangeWax® Mesquite Brush Jacket deserves a closer look.
