Drop the OG Beaufort if you're a real player; waxed with a poachers pocket out the back for when you brass up some game. I rock the Sapper which is very much like a military smock, helps keep me smart when on the Officers Mess lawn standing next to a bonfire sipping a port with a tasty bird on my arm. Legit.
Regarding wax, you can drop the 'Dax Wax' style from a tub or liquid 'Silk Oil', which I go for. Saying that, I waxed it three years ago and haven't touched it since.
I think tweed IS going through somewhat of a renaissance phase at the moment. Zara, Topman and the sort all seem to have gone balls deep on it and are putting leather elbow patches on everything at present. The mind boggles why you need elbow patches on a knitted jumper but hey ho, that's One Direction Fashion for you.
If you really want to go ultra balls deep get a Driza-bone.. they fucking stink and would keep you dry even when eye deep in hell in the Somme.
