It began life on the early windjammers that plied the great southern oceans, and like all good ideas, was born of necessity. A Scottish sailor by the name of Edward Le Roy discovered that the torn sail on his ship could be recycled in to long coats and sou' westers, and by painting the fabric with a mixture of oils they were transformed into excellent wet weather garments. Once ashore the coat was adapted to life on the land with a fantail to protect the seat of the horse rider's saddle, leg straps to keep the coat from taking off in high winds, and extra long sleeves so that they still protected the wearer when his arms were extended. So effective were the coats that they eventually became known as Driza-Bones, after the dried and parched bones of animals in the arid Australian outback Today, the Driza-Bone range includes coats, jackets and hats in a variety of fabrics and weather-proofing finishes. All are designed and made with meticulous attention to detail, to provide comfort, durability and practical good looks.
