Why would you buy the Iron Bark instead of the Workhorse Drover - because you can!
This beauty comes with all the bells & whistles , brass hardware, cowhide collar and cuffs, detachable cape, double snap down storm plackets, bottom front riveted, snap-down flaps over the large bellow pocket bags. Side entry hand warmer pockets, and then when you need to get to gear under your coat we have built into the side seam covered entries. Again like our other oilskin garments its buggy lined with 100% cotton, stencil printed, two internal security pockets and our unique button-in lining facility. The back of the coat houses the snap close fantail, and internal riding straps.
The Iron Bark Drover is a 2-in-1 full-length coat that is accented with a cowhide leather collar and cuffs. Made from the Kakadu's signature 12oz. MicroWax oilskin that is renowned for its ability to shield against the elements, it has a double storm front closure to repel wind, the drawcord waist traps in the warmth and the extra length keeps your legs dry. The cape detaches and transforms the coat into a classic trench. It has two snap-down lower flap pockets with side entry, side access vents so you can access pants pockets with ease, and two internal pockets to store small personal items. Cotton lined with Australia map print. Fabric

Parents of 14 children in outback Australia, Richard & wife Catherine Whillas constructed their own oilskin cloth using a 'wringer mangler' and a combination of oils and waxes found on the local land. Known for it's functionality & durability, oilskin cloth would be ideal for everyday use for their family against the harsh Australian bush.
Eventually they and 5 sons would together begin manufacturing outerwear garments for Australians then worldwide. These products would fall under the name "Kakadu Traders Australia".
Nearly 50 years on and in it's third generation of Whillas family, Kakadu supplies tough, reliable products to over 50 countries around the world. Strong canvas, refined oils & waxes and rugged cowhide are amongst the raw materials that give our products the guts to get the job done time & time again.
