I own a Polo wax cotton made by Barbour. Barbour's history is actually based in motorcycling and morphed into "game keeper" and paddock jackets.
I also own a Filson waxed hunting field coat.
There is a difference between Barbour and Filson products. Barbour's are a very thin cotton poplin boiled in wax, where as Filson's tend to be a heavier cotton duck boiled in wax, almost like a Carhart being waxed.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
