What is an Oilskin Duster? Well, it's a some
what fashioned along the lines of a trench coat
but with a western flair, they generally are
made of a heavy Black or Brown canvas material,
with a water repellent coating called
'Reproofing Cream' on the outside shell, most
of these have an additional flap that hangs
from the neck and shoulders it is attached by
snap under the collar and strap under each arm.
This flap some times extends half way down the
back. The purpose is multi functional in heavy
rain it slows the progress of water soaking
through, and it also can be used as an
additional wind break when wrapped around the

Dusters were made popular by cow pokes and
outlaws of the old west. While these early
dusters were made from cloth(s), some have
evolved to leather. Leather Dusters can protect
you from some of the harshest elements Mother
Nature throws at us. These include, but are not
limited to, cold, wind, rain, and foremost dust
storms. Today they are still popular amongst
bikers and cowboys.
The Leather Duster is an absolute must own
for almost everyone, man or woman. These
dusters come in a variety of colors and
leathers. Some leather dusters have a removable
cape and zip out lining both features are a
plus, removing the cape gives the duster a
whole new look. They can also feature four leg
straps two for each leg, this prevents these
long trench coats from flapping too much in the
wind, and also adds protection to your
legs.
The leather duster has a total of five
pockets! (2 that you can easily slide your
hands into, 2 deep pockets on top of the
previous mentioned with double snap down
covers, and one inside breast pocket) This
leather duster will keep you warm while looking

duster unique...

They say that necessity is the mother of
invention, I'm not convinced that is the whole
story. My curiosity and desire to understand
how things came about led me to discover some
amazing stories. That need-to-know has
convinced me that more than a few times, great
things are invented by everyday people who are
just looking for a niche to fill that makes
them a living. Such is my discovery about
oilskin clothing.
I'm sure most of us (I include myself) have
never heard of oilskin or never paid attention
to its attributes. However, cowboys, range
riders, bikers and sailors know all-to-well not
to be caught in stormy weather with out it. The
simplicity of this invention is amazing
considering the speed it became a necessity in
certain vocations. Oilskin has the ability to
survive rough treatment from work environments
that would ruin most other clothing, while
being totally waterproof, windproof and
warm.
Oilskin coats have become the ultimate in
harsh weather protection, sailors and bikers
alike don't want to be caught without it, but
let's get to the story behind this wonderful
product. It all began in the late 1800's when a
Scottish sailor, Edward Leroy, retired from
sailing and settled in Australia. With no means
of income and not much chance of finding a job,
Edward looked for a way to...
