DRIZABONE

Drizabone made their name with their extra tough, extra dry Heavyweight
Riding coats. You could survive the worst weather and you were always as
'Dry as a Bone'.

Because the coats were so popular, customers wanted a greater selection and now Drizabone has a large range of jackets as well as the coats. They even have coats for the dog and the waterproof trousers and chaps are extremely popular. We have about 35 of their products on this site.

Sometimes there is no need of a Heavyweight oiled coat or jacket and so the
'Drizapel' fabric was born. This is a non oiled fabric which effectively
repels water, oil and stains. It is softer than the oiled product and comes
in a wider range of colours such as Mustard and Khaki. [see Colour swatches
and Fabric descriptions]

Drizabone also makes a selection of oiled fabric hats and caps for anyone
wanting some rugged waterproof headwear.
