Outback Trading Company Unisex 2042 Low Rider Waterproof Breathable Full-Length Oilskin Duster Coat

I always wanted one of these (cowboy) coats because I thought they looked cool on the western shows. The cowboys wore them in wind rain, snow and heat. Well I was surprised how functional it is. I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and my coat arrived for me to try it out in -20 degrees BELOW ZERO. The coat comes true to fit. I ordered a large and it fits perfectly. I wore a light jacket under it and I was toasty. I have a wool lined jacket that goes with the coat that together they are too hot. When I was loading my truck, I got it dirty. I just wiped it with a soaking wet rag in clean water. What amazed me is all the compliments I get from strangers. Especially from people who say “hey, nice coat. I got a coat just like that”. This coat is well worth the money.

Thank You

I surprised my husband with this for Christmas! He was beyond excited! So if you're thinking about buying this, don't hesitate! (Especially if you're wanting to surprise your man, he will love it!)My husband loves the fit, the style, the color, the length, and the feel. He wears a large so I ordered a large and it fit perfectly. ( He is a solid muscle 5'10 220lbs) There is room to wear extra layer underneath should you need extra warmth.Again, he was very happy with this coat!

If you are looking for a coat to combat bad weather, look no further. It is waterproof, windproof, and seems very sturdy. Washing instructions? Hose it off! The sizing is a bit on the large side, as I am 6'3" and around 230lbs, I thought I might need an XL, but the large fits perfectly. It is wet to the touch initially, due to the waterproof coating, but it goes away after a few days, but I would recommend you try to avoid rubbing it against other fabrics or leather (for example, wearing it in the car, as the coating will rub off on things). It is quite warm, even without the optional liner, perfect for cold, rainy, windy days. You'll never need to look like a chump with an umbrella again.Pros:WaterproofWindproofHigh QualityWarmCons:Coating will rub off on other surfaces initiallySomewhat heavyIt looks great, except people will stare at you because it looks like a shooter coat...

I'm giving five stars to both the quality of the product and customer service.The product came soaked, I mean really soaked, it took 34 hours to dry. Now normally this wouldn't be a big deal as it is winter these things can happen, one can just hang it up to dry, but the problem was compounded by the size not being right and my other intentions for outdoor work being compromised. Being a 44 shoulder I thought a large would be good enough as I was anticipating the coat to run a little large, a common mistake anyone could make. I ended up buying one extra-large(same brand) for more at Callisters and the product has worked very well. I contacted the seller about my problem and they were very gracious and gave me a full refund. A good learning experience to which I am grateful. Buying from these guys is still a good idea, bad luck happens and again they were gracious about it, I would recommend this product to anyone who wants an all purpose coat that resists the elements, for me it's my wandering coat as I walk and take the bus everywhere I go and works nicely on mountain hikes as well during the spring and fall.

The duster came sooner than expected. The fit is perfect for my height tryed it in the rain kept me dry will see how it does this winter over all Ian well pleased with it.

This is a very nice overcoat. Oilskin material is 'wet' feeling on arrival, but dries out in a week or so. The cowl is snapped on and is removable. Two unlined outside front pockets with snap closure (with smallish, unlined hand warmer pockets behind them). The sizing is as expected for an overcoat. To give an example, I ordered a Large. I have a 49" chest measurement and I was able to wear this coat OVER a size Large armored motorcycle jacket (which is a pretty bulky item itself). There's a cinch cord in the waist, so you can still get a good outline. If you want to wear this with just a shirt, you'll probably want to order one or more sizes smaller, but as an overcoat there sizing is good.There's a very thin sewn-in cotton liner. This coat would be improved by having more substantial button in liner and lined pockets.Being fairly wind resistent, this coat has kept me reasonably warm in 32 degree weather with just a wool sweater underneath. Doesn't seem to stiffen up much in the cold either.Takes a certain swagger to pull off a garment like this, especially in black. The number of people who cross the street to avoid me has increased significantly--but that's not such a bad thing.I bought from horse.com via amazon. First they sent me a defective coat (broken snap). This took two weeks to arrive. Then they took another several weeks to send a replacement. All in all it took a month between the time I paid and the time I could wear the coat. I would personally not buy anything from horse.com again, but that's not the coat's fault.

I bought this as part of a costume and in that role it worked super awesome. Indeed, I really can't wear it for anything else 'cause it's as ostentatious and dramatic as Superman's cape. Plus a little hot for where I live. Maybe if I moved to Wyoming, became a cowboy, and took to wearing a six guns I'd feel more comfortable wearing it all the time.That said, if you ARE a real cowboy or someone who works outside in cold, wet crummy weather all the time this is a damn good choice. The fabric is denser than blue jeans, water repellant as all hell, and put together to last nearly indefinitely. The buttons and zippers are solid and set well. This is by far one of the most impressive garments I own.
