  
The genuine oilskin Driza-Bone Riding Coat is an action coat, generously cut to allow plenty of freedom of movement especially across the back and shoulders. Its traditional wearers were often on horseback so the reinforced elbow patches on the coats are strategically placed on the inside of the elbows, preventing the pools of rain water that naturally formed there from seeping in. The coat is made long enough so the rain won't run into your boots.
There are no exposed raw edges, sleeves are extra long, and the seams are heavy duty double stitched in areas of greatest stress. The cut of the cape is designed to protect the body just where it is most exposed to rain and cold. Leg straps are designed to stop your Driza-Bone from taking off in strong winds.
