Oilskin fabric may be known for being hard wearing and gritty but did you know that is has been keeping folks dry for hundreds of years? Learn more about oilskin fabric within this video.
Okay was my duster also purchased in 89 cursed? I went through 3 . Still got my duster my Stihl chainsaw and my model 20. The important stuff! Well except the money, property and the Jag.
I bought one of your dusters back in 1994 or so when I was 16. I'm 43 now and still wearing it. Its had patches and been reproofed a few times. Still keeping dry on the trails...
I'm glad to see this comment. I'm about to buy a duster from this company and was concerned about it being cotton because where I live, cotton will kill you if it gets wet.
I guess someone outgrew mine because they hung it on their horse fence out by the road with a sign that said free. It fits me perfect. Best coat I’ve ever had. It could probably use a reproof but it keeps me dry anyway.
I have the 1486 grizzly (received as a gift) 2020 for my birthday ... and I have the coat (original outback collection) for 30 years made in canada # 6109 very good quality of workmanship and material
Very informative video, thank you. FYI: Eliminate the background music! We can to hear and understand what you are saying, we do not want fighting the music. Many folks have hearing difficulties thus the background music quickly becomes at best distracting at worse extremely annoying.
I have numerous products of yours and love every one of them. I wish you all had an oilskin poncho. I saw one at one time and ordered it, but the company sent my money back and said they were no longer available.
@@blankblank2345 oilskin can be manufactured by your self, I suggest looking at bush craft and primitive skills u tube the treatment I used was a cleaner than a product called Duck cloth Balm got it at western store in KY. That product was for oil skin preserve not turn fabric into oil skin. Best of luck I've personally seen home made oilskin at SAS events as good as my purchased product. 👍
How come these don't have hoods I've got one I was given as a present twenty years ago it still fits but hardly worn it as the rain runs down the back of my neck
I was so disappointed to find that my brand new Outback riding coat wasn't waterproof. I guess it will keep you dry so long as you don't send too much time in the rain.
You might want to talk to the manufacturers, when we were kids we had an old oil skin that was probably 20+ years old and a hand me down from our grandfather. He wore horse riding all the time and often had it tied to the back of his saddle just in case, it so well worn that the leg flaps were shredded. He got a new oilskin just to keep his legs dry in the saddle but that oilskin still kept us kids dry even out in the heaviest showers of rain.
I know this is old but an oilskin riding coat should definitely be waterproof. I work for the USPS and have a lot of uncovered clusterboxes on my route. I live in Georgia so when it rains, it doesn't just pour, it floods. It rains so hard that the drops sting your skin. But the combination of the oilskin packable poncho and Trapper hat keep me 100% dry even when the mail gets so wet it becomes amorphous slop.
I've had mine for more than 30 years. Its outlasted two wives. :)
2 here! 1989 duster still going strong.

They make pretty good coats I’ve had mine for 14 years and it’s also in good shape
I'm 45 and also bought my duster back in the early '90's. It has a couple of small holes but has kept me dry in the rainiest wet weather.
@@wizardofahhhs759 I’m gonna get on for motorcycle riding It’s the only thing I’ve read that will keep me completely dry.
@@troynixon5213 it will because I wear mine ATV riding.

Someone probably died in it.
@wizardofahhhs759 could of been an old love that they couldn't keep but held that reminder

Purchased the Low rider duster coat and it’s absolutely amazing
Thanks to your company I own a beautiful black oil skin duster
Oilskin jackets originated in NZ by a fellow named Edward Le Roy in 1898, not Australia
We'll just add that to Pavlova & Phar Lap (Kiwi things Aussies mistakenly think are theirs 😉)
Excellent presentation! I love oilskin coats and hats! But, the music is a little distracted!
I have an oil skin I love it
I actually have one of their dusters, the fasteners (snaps) pulled through the fabric on the back bottom
That happened to my new one on the front, the fabric used in the new models that's made in China is total junk.
how long do i have to let it air out? i just got mine and its very very oily
I have one of these short sleeve with a hoodie
Waterproof Coat.
How do you clean a musty coat?
I just learnt about oil skin , mole skin my life finna change
Where can I get mines re oiled, I ride in lots of rain , and last time my arms got wet so I know it's time to reproff... HELP!!!
You can get do it yourself kits I got my stuff at our western store inside Tractor Supply
It isn't hard to do and it'll smell "oily" for abit but it will go away with wearing it.

so are these not fully waterproof ???

Sorry mate but lose the music - not everyone has young ears and it muddies up the speech making it hard to understand
