My first real English Wax Coat

This weekend I visited the yearly sample sale of a knitwear dealer in Amsterdam, through an invitation from The Boss Otten Company (or B.O.T.C.). One of his colleagues sells typical english men's clothing from John Partridge, William Lockie and Magee. Usually this sample sale is a bit above my budget,this time I decided to go for a real wax coat. In the end, after some haggling, I payed 155 euro's. It is a brown jacket model with several interesting (hidden) pockets. Like for example a poacher's pocket in the rear back panel. The model is called 'guards jacket'. I like the fact that it is not the typical dark green or dark blue color these wax coats traditionnaly have. And as these jackets are supposed to look better and better with age and wear, I intend to wear it for a very long time.....

Here is one of the hidden pockets in the front:
