Does such a thing exist?
A year ago I bought an Apache waterproof jacket. It looked robust, had the classic cordura material on parts. Turned out to be the worst jacket I ever bought. Stitching started coming apart after a week. Minor nicks turned into major tears. I ended up looking like the rag man within a few months.
I'm looking for a seriously tough jacket, both in terms of material and stitching. Ideally waterproof or water resistant and thick enough for a mild winter. Not sure if this is possible. Happy to pay a lot of money for it if it lasts
Am thinking I may have to go down the waxed cotton route. Presumably normal wateroproof fabrics will easily tear. Don't want to do a cheap Dewalt, or Scruffs one for £40 if it won't last.
Thanks
