Jacksnipe Overjacket7.5oz Dry Waxed 100% Cotton
The Forest edition of our bestselling Jacksnipe style. Weather resistant dry waxed cotton outer. Plenty of pockets to stash your stuff. Silky feel that will crease and patina with wear to create a fantastic aged appearance. Designed in Calderdale. Cloth from Dundee. Horn buttons from the Cotswolds. Cut and sewn together in Great Yarmouth.
The Jacksnipe is a roomy jacket designed to be worn over lots of layers without feeling bulky. Big jumpers, overshirts are all accommodated with ease. There’s plenty of room in the sleeves and body to allow you to move freely – no fuss, all function.
You can also wear it over just a t-shirt. The Jacksnipe is a year-round solution to help you get the most out of your HebTroCo wardrobe. Layer up and go.
We get all the weather on the Pennines. Temperatures go up and down. Ed wanted something jacket-length that he could wear with (or without) the warmers of the HebTroCo wardrobe. Over the years, we’ve picked up lots of vintage hunting jackets and they gave us plenty of ideas to work with. A-line fit, plenty of pockets, a weather-resisting finish that will age nicely – all key points in the design brief.
Made from a 100% BCI cotton outer finished with a dry wax coating finished by Halley Stevensons of Dundee. Cut and sewn for us in the Far East (of England) in Great Yarmouth.
Like all previous editions of the Jacksnipe Overjacket, the Forest is a limited run and won’t be repeated.

Made in the Far East
(of England)
Based in Great Yarmouth, Yarmouth Oilskins started making in 1898 as Yarmouth Stores, supplying fishermen with clothing, hosiery, seamen’s oil and waterproof clothing. Over the years they’ve supplied workwear and speciality waterproof garments to the industries of the sea.
They’re a small scale, independent company with a background in traditional workwear. Their story and values align well with ours.

Wow wow wow. Been lurking and wanting a Jack Snipe for ages. After seeing that the latest version was flying of the cargo bike super fast, I ordered one. It arrived ten minutes ago and wow. Perfect fit, feels super high quality and looks amazing on. Living in west Scotland this is going to be put through its paces, but looks like it will be easily up to the task. Off to check out the newly arrived curlew on the fields near my home perhaps I’ll take the Jack Snipe and pop for a pint on the way home.

I love the story behind Hebtro clothing. They really do think about every stitch and seam and this is no different. The jacket is beautifully designed, with great functionality. I missed out last time so don’t be a dick – buy one why you can.
Finally I can’t wait to see how it ages. My beloved railway jacket has aged and it is beautiful. I have a feeling this will do the same.

Smart but rugged, goes with anything and does it all. I wore it all day climbing through bushes and fields out birdwatching yesterday, wiped mud off with a wet sponge this morning and went straight into the office, where my coworkers immediately admired it. An absolute cracker that will only get better with age.
