For those who prefer something solid: Wax cotton jacket "Regensegen" made of waxed cotton

The STEINKAUZ Wax Jacket "Regensegen" is a stylistic and material complement to our loden jackets, hoodies, and equipment. Where the inclement weather properties of loden reach their limits, waxed cotton provides the necessary outer layer to keep rain mostly out and maintain a comfortable climate inside. When worn with lightweight clothing, the material has a cooling effect. With a layer of loden or a warm wool sweater as a base layer, it effectively retains heat inside.
The surface of the waxed cotton quickly develops a beautiful vintage effect with use. If the waxing diminishes over time, the jacket can be re-waxed as often as desired.

The relatively heavy 8 oz waxed cotton is not a flimsy material but a robust protective layer that also functions well as a windbreaker. The material is made from 100% cotton, which has a particularly high capacity for absorbing the wax used for impregnation, making it adhere well to the natural fiber of cotton. This gives the fabric its excellent water-repellent properties and its heavy, rustic quality. This original weatherproof fabric is not for lovers of ultralight gear but is ideal for fans of durable equipment.

The little details that you'll come to appreciate

The interior of the "Regensegen" jacket is lined with a thin pocket lining made of poly-cotton, ensuring that the waxed outer fabric does not come into direct contact with your other clothing. The hood can be adjusted to fit the shape of your head using the internal drawstring, allowing for a loose or snug fit.
Four exterior pockets, two on the chest and two with side entry in the hip area, all feature zippers and are additionally equipped with a waxed cotton overflap to make it more difficult for raindrops to penetrate. Inside, there are two additional zippered pockets with side entry, located on both sides in the chest area.
The main zipper is made of burnished metal and has two flaps, one below and one above the zipper, to resist wind and rain.
Wind cuffs are built into the sleeve cuffs and the hem of the jacket. These are fabric cuffs that can be tightened using a drawstring to prevent cold wind from entering and provide additional protection at sensitive areas. The sleeve cuffs can also be tightened further with an external Velcro strap.

What to expect from waxed fabrics

There is a lot of half-knowledge and some misunderstandings about waxed fabrics, also known as waxed cotton, wax cotton, or waxed polycotton. We explain what these fabrics can do in more detail in our STEINKAUZ-blog.

Explanation of the size chart

The measurements represent the average of a size. This means there is some room in both directions before reaching the range of the next size.

What should I wear underneath?
When choosing the appropriate size, consider whether you will wear the jacket in summer with lightweight clothing underneath or in winter with a thick loden fleece jacket or sweater. This consideration is particularly important if you fall exactly between two sizes!

Regarding the individual measurements
Some relevant measurements are given twice (e.g., 116/106). The first value refers to the circumference of the garment, while the second value refers to your body measurement. This allows you to either take measurements on yourself or measure your favorite jacket for comparison. The difference between the body measurement and the garment measurement is usually 8-10 cm.

Chest:
The chest measurement describes the chest circumference of the jacket and the chest circumference measured on your body. The chest circumference is the most important measurement. If the chest is too tight, the rest of the jacket usually won't fit well.

Waist:
The waist measurement describes the waist circumference of the jacket and the waist circumference measured on your body. If your waist is narrower, it usually has less impact than the chest circumference.

Arm Length:
Since this is a raglan sleeve that does not have a traditional shoulder seam, please measure the sleeve length including the shoulder. To do this, place the measurement at the vertex between the neck and shoulder (where the collar would sit) and measure to the point where the sleeve cuff hem should be.

Back Length:
The back length is measured from the seam of the collar underside to the lower edge of the jacket at the waist.
