Drizabone Oilskin Jackets and Coats

Drizabone is an iconic Australian brand renowned globally for its legendary oilskin coats, originally designed to protect stockmen from the harsh conditions of the Australian outback. The brand's history dates back to the late 19th century when Edward Le Roy, a British sailor, developed a method for waterproofing sailcloth to create durable rainwear. The 'Driza-Bone' name was trademarked in the 1930s, becoming synonymous with rugged, water-resistant garments that define Australian heritage style.

In recent years, the brand has undergone significant ownership changes to ensure its longevity. In late 2023, Drizabone was acquired by S.G.L. (Sourcing & Group Logistics), the parent company behind the global fashion giant R.M. Williams. This acquisition brought two of Australia's most historic bush-culture brands under the same corporate umbrella. Despite these corporate shifts, Drizabone remains committed to its roots, with a primary focus on Australian manufacturing and maintaining the heavy-duty quality that has made it a staple for farmers, riders, and outdoor enthusiasts for over a century.
